Next Blackburn Manager Odds

Following the sacking of Paul Ince by Blackburn Rovers earlier today, the former MK Dons and Macclesfield boss is looking for work again, and other managers currently on the Managerial-Merry-go-Round look to get off at Ewood Park to provide their next 18 months employment. Which is good news for betting fans, as it means we can bet on who will be the next Blackburn Manager! You can even get a free bet on the next Blackburn manager by joining Bet365.

Bookies favourite for the job is former Rovers boss Graeme Souness, with early odds of 5/2 with Bet365 of a return to the job he left in 2004. Souness has been out of work since being sacked by Newcastle two years ago, and another former Newcastle boss, Sam Allardyce is also in the running. Big Sam who may be overlooked for the still-vacant Sunderland job is currently 3/1 second favourite (with Ladbrokes, VC Bet and Sky Bet) to become the new manager at Blackburn.

Aside from the two main contenders, it’s pretty much the same old names being touted – Alan Curbishley at 10/1 (Paddy Power), Gerard Houllier at 12/1 (skybet), Avram Grant at 10/1 (bet365). Alan Shearer looks good value at 25/1 (Victor Chandler), but is a relegation scrap the ideal first job for him? Or for Rovers, who are in this situation after recruiting a rookie in the first place?

New faces on the market for the next Blackburn Manager odds are former Sunderland boss Roy Keane (14/1, bet365) and Burnley’s Owen Coyle (probably on the basis it would annoy their local rivals and Coyle wouldn’t have to move house) at 20/1 with skybet. Those who feel Rovers will wait for former boss Mark Hughes to be sacked by Manchester City in a bid to re-hire Sparky can get a tasty 33/1 at the moment courtesy of skybet. However, Blackburn are expected to make their next manager appointment swiftly to avoid falling further behind the pack in their bid for Premier League survival, and cannot affod to wait for events on Eastlands to fully play out.
