After a see-saw 48 hours in the betting for who will be the next Aston Villa manager, bookmakers William Hill have now reinstated Kevin MacDonald as the favourite to take the job on a permanent basis. MacDonald is priced at 5/4 having drifted to 2/1 yesterday. Gerard Houllier has been slashed from 10/1 to 5/2 while Alan Curbishley has eased from 2/1 to 11/4. The shortlist looks certain to contain the top three in the betting.

Thursday saw a lot of movement in the market and this prompted us to believe that a decision was imminent. All that can be surmised from yesterdays activity is that Villa appear to have narrowed their shortlist down to three candidates, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Odds:

Next Aston Villa Manager: 5/4 Kevin MacDonald; 5/2 Gerard Houllier; 11/4 Alan Curbishley; 12/1 Sven Goran Eriksson; 20/1 Alex McLeish; 20/1 Bob Bradley; 20/1 Ronald Koeman; 20/1 David Moyes; 25/1 BAR

A massive gamble in the last 24 hours has seen Alan Curbishley become the 7/4 outright favourite at William Hill to become the new Aston Villa manager, having been 10/1 at yesterday. Gerard Houllier has also had his odds slashed from 12/1 on Monday to 9/2. Long-time favourite and current caretaker, Kevin MacDonald is the 2/1 second favourite, having been odds-on to take the job yesterday. Sven Goran Eriksson is the 7/1 fourth favourite.

Having been seen as a relative outsider at the start of the week, Alan Curbishsley now finds himself at the top of a shortlist that the odds suggest includes just Gerard Houllier and Kevin MacDonald. The gamble we have seen over the last 24 hours seems to suggest that an announcement is imminent, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Curbs Cut For Villa Boss But Macdonald Still Favourite

September 7, 2010 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Alan Curbishley, Alex Mcleish, Aston Villa, Bob Bradley, Curbs, David Moyes, Fb, Gareth Southgate, Gary Megson, Gerard Houllier, Joe Crilly, Jurgen Klinsmann, Kevin Macdonald, Mark Hughes, Martin Jol, Paul Lambert, Phil Brown, Randy Lerner, Ronald Koeman, Shortlist, William Hill

William Hill have slashed the price of Alan Curbishley becoming the new Aston Villa manager from 10/1 to 4/1 following an overnight gamble that was sparked by a rumoured meeting with Randy Lerner. Conversely, Kevin MacDonald has been eased out from 4/6 to 5/4. Sven Goran Eriksson is the 5/1 third favourite with Gerard Houllier 10/1. The Mark Hughes gamble has ended and he is now 16/1 from a low of 3/1.

It looks like Curbs met with Randy Lerner yesterday, so he must be on the shortlist; however the odds seem to suggest that Lerner may well stick with MacDonald, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Next Villa Manager: 5/4 Kevin MacDonald; 4/1 Alan Curbishley; 5/1 Sven Goran Eriksson; 10/1 Gerard Houllier; 11/1 David Moyes; 14/1 Ronald Koeman; 16/1 Alex McLeish; 16/1 Mark Hughes; 20/1 Paul Lambert; 20/1 Martin Jol; 20/1 Jurgen Klinsmann; 20/1 Gary Megson; 20/1 Bob Bradley; 20/1 Gareth Southgate; 20/1 Phil Brown; 25/1 BAR
