Will Their Hearts Be In It? Former Jambos Bosses Favourites For Hibs Job

November 16, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Bollan, Crossing The Great Divide, Fickle World, Gordon Strachan, Greenside, Hibernian, Jackie Mcnamara, Jim Jeffries, Jimmy Calderwood, Joe Crilly, John Hughes, John Robertson, London N22, Mark Mcghee, O Neill, Paul Cook, Shamrock Rovers, Terry Butcher, William Hill, Williamhill

Jim Jeffries has emerged as William Hills 5/2 favourite to become the next Hibs boss. The former Hearts boss is joined in the top three in the betting by another former Hearts manager Billy Brown at 4/1 and Shamrock Rovers manager Michael ONeill at 3/1.

There are a number of likely candidates for the position but it is strange to see two former Hearts bosses so high in the betting, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly. It seems that in the fickle world of football, these managers would have no qualms in crossing the great divide.

Other contenders include Mark McGhee at 6/1 and Gordon Strachan, Jimmy Calderwood and Gus McPherson all at 8/1.

Next Hibernian Boss: 5/2 Jim Jeffries; 3/1 Michael ONeill; 4/1 Billy Brown; 6/1 Mark McGhee; 8/1 Gordon Strachan; 8/1 Jimmy Calderwood; 8/1 Gus McPherson; 10/1 Gary Bollan; 10/1 Billy Stark; 10/1 John Robertson; 10/1 Danny Lennon; 12/1 Billy Reid; 12/1 Jackie McNamara; 14/1 Billy Davies; 16/1 Terry Butcher; 16/1 John Collins; 16/1 Allan Moore; 16/1 John Hughes; 20/1 Paul Cook

Amidst reports that Jim Jefferies has left Hearts, William Hill have reopened their next manager to go market and make Colin Calderwood the 10/11 favourite, followed by Terry Butcher at 4/1. Derek McInnes and Kenny Shiels are both 9/1.

Punters have been taken by surprise by this reported decision as Jefferies was a 10/1 chance to be the first SPL boss to go this season, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Following the shock departure, St Johnstone Manager, Derek McInnes has been installed as the 9/2 favourite to be next in the hot seat. Its a very open book with Mark McGhee at 5/1 and Paul Hartley 11/2. Jeffries was 10/1 to be the first manager to go in the SPL.

Next SPL Manager to leave: 10/11 Colin Calderwood; 4/1 Terry Butcher; 9/1 Derek McInnes; 9/1 Kenny Shiels; 16/1 Ally McCoist; 16/1 Danny Lennon; 25/1 Craig Brown; 25/1 Neil Lennon; 25/1 Peter Houston; 25/1 Stuart McCall; 33/1 Jim McIntyre
