Odds on next Derby Manager
December 30, 2008 by Ben Filed under: Football
Chris Hutchings is the 5/2 favourite with bookie Paddy Power to once again succeed Paul Jewell following the Derby County manager’s resignation today.
Having been placed in temporary charge at Pride Park, Hutchings is the bookie’s favourite to follow in Paul Jewell’s footsteps and land the job on a permanent basis just as he did in previous, if unspectacular, spells at Bradford and Wigan.
However with plenty of managers looking for gainful employment Hutchings could face competition from the likes of Aidy Boothroyd (4/1), Paul Ince (7/1) and Alan Curbishley (12/1). Former manager Billy Davies is 6/1 for a return to the club he guided into the Premier League
Paddy Power said: “Following his disastrous spells at other clubs when taking over from Paul Jewell Derby fans are likely to be more sick as parrots than over the moon to see Hutchings top the list. But as interim manager it could be Hutchings’ job to lose if he could cobble together a few wins – just as Ricky Spragia did at Sunderland.”
