Slaven Bilic odds on to leave Hammers

Bookies have predictably made West Ham manager Slaven Bilic a massive odds-on favourite as the next Premier League manager to be sacked this season after West Ham’s embarrassing defeat against Brighton on Friday night.

Slav’s chance of the sack has been slashed to 1/3 making odds-on on favourite with Sky Bet to go with his closest rival Ronald Koeman at Everton on 11/4. Paddypower have Bilic 4/9 for the push while it’s 2/5 with Bet Victor.

Claret and Hugh understand that no sacking will take place until an alternative replacement can be found with a proven track record with concern about the availability of lack of candidates who are immediately available.

Sky Bet have Manuel Pellegrini as the 100/30 favourite to replace the Croatian with Carlo Ancelotti second favourite at 11/2, Rafa Benitez is third at 6/1 with Sean Dyche, Roberto Mancini and Slavisa Jokanovic all at 8/1.  Brendan Rogers is a 12/1 punt with Chris Coleman and Tony Pullis both at 12/1
