Early ‘Killie-cash’ gamble on Jeffries as:
NO MORE BETS ON BURLEY TO GO
HAVING OFFERED 7/4 that Scotland boss George Burley would lose his job before the qualifiers for the next Euro tournament get underway, William Hill closed the book once it became obvious that he is likely to be sacked before the end of the week.
And punters have already poured cash on Kilmarnock manager Jim Jeffries succeeding Burley, forcing his odds down from an opening 20/1 to 5/1 joint favourite, along with Craig Levein and Walter Smith. Hills also offer 6/1 Gary McAllister; 7/1 Owen Coyle; 8/1 Billy Davies; 10/1 Darren Ferguson; Joe Jordan 12/1 Kenny Dalglish; Mark McGhee.
‘This is likely to be a very volatile market in the early stages, but the very fact that we are already seeing plenty of interest in Burley’s successor pretty much guarantees that he won’t be seeing the week out’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
