Bookies odds for next Hammers boss

The bookies have begun the guessing game on who will become the next Hammers boss and Rafa Benitez leads the way.

Paddy Power have him at 5/2 favourite with Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic close behind at 11/4 which is a surprise given that he will almost certainly want to lead the Londoners into the Premier League if they make it.

It looks a very vague list following those two with a variety of uninspiring candidates named at lengthy prices.  Brendan Rodgers comes in at 9/1, former Borussia Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel at 10/1 with – wait for it Tony Pulis – on the same price.

After that we get into some real long shots with Roy Hodgson and Gary Monk at 16/1, Chris Coleman 20/1, Eddie Howe 20/1, Sean Dyche 20/1, Chris Hugton 20/1 and  Marcelo Bielsa and Alan Pardew 20/1.

Old Harry Boy is in there at 50/1 and Ryan Giggs gets a 66/1 quote.
