Odds tumble on Steven Gerrard to be next Newcastle manager

[Rousseau 10,640]

There are also odds on Ant and Dec, so...

 

In all seriousness, you couldn't stand in his way. That would be a huge forward step for him. 

 

However, with the money the new Newcastle owners have, there are bigger, more established names that would be more likely, surely? 

 

Steven Gerrard 3/1 (SkyBet)
Graeme Jones 11/2 (Paddy Power)
Chris Wilder 11/2 (Paddy Power)
Antonio Conte 5/1 (Betfair, Paddy Power and William Hill)

Eddie Howe 6/1 (SkyBet)
Rafa Benitez 8/1 (BetVictor)
Roberto Martinez 10/1 (Paddy Power)
Frank Lampard 10/1 (Paddy Power)

Ant and Dec 250/1

I'd be very disappointed, given what he's said, if he decided on Newcastle. If it was Liverpool, then he would go with my blessing, as that is where his heart is.

I think it's unlikely, but who knows? I would imagine they would be going for someone with managerial experience in either England or the continent. Rodgers is a possibility or maybe Zidane?

Ant and Dec 250/1  

What's happened to super-duper modern manager of men, Neil Lennon?

 

Lenny knows Newcastle, I saw footage of him falling out of several Nookie Broon bars back in early Spring.

Clearly an oversight.

I would imagine Newcastle will go for someone more experienced like Conte

I think so too, but, then again, I can't see a Conte or Zidane going there to build them up, so to speak.

There's rumours (and a pic doing the rounds) that Frank "the best in the business" McPartland has been hired to oversee their recruitment.  Got a feeling this is going to be a car crash if this turns out to be true.

 

In terms of new manager markets, they're so small that small bets can skew the odds a fair bit.  At best they're knockabout fun, but are no indication of anything.

[compo 7,048]

Only three in that list worth considering Conte Benitez and Martinez,
