As expected, Ten Hag and Kompany feature up front while Unai Emery is rewarded with an invitation to the Outsider's Enclosure alongside Klopp, Gladioli and Arteta, all at 100 with Emery at 66.
Hag 5/2 Kompany 7/2 Hodgson 4 Pochettino 10
12/1 BAR

Theres Jose gone in Italy, probably Turkey or Greece next for him on his downward spiral Yes, has rarely lasted lasted longer than the 3 year mark anywhere and when he has it's been by a matter of weeks (Chelsea v1.0 and Real Madrid) Sent off 5 times in the past year, I believe, and quite the unpredictable one both on the pitch and off it. It wouldn't surprise me if Newcastle's owners pursue him at the expense of Howe who has lost four of the last four league games, with Newcastle in the lower half of the table, just. Winner of the 2011 'Rockstar of the Year Award' by the Swedish branch of Rolling Stone magazine, Mourinho is 5/2 to join the Toon for his next job. Any Saudi Arabia Pro club is 7/2. A third spell at Chelsea is 6/1, with Palace and Portugal not far behind. Any MLS club is 10/1 (what on earth would the Americans make of him, you wonder?) The England job 12/1 and Tottenham, Arsenal and Man U all at 50s. Watch as José departs Roma with fans looking on.

Not much happening in the top flight with Ten Hagg and Hodgson still locked on 7/4 joint favourites for next to go. Down at the bottom of League 2 is where the action has been today, with Forest Green sacking Troy Deeney after 6 games in charge. In the space of a couple of weeks Deeney has publicly slagged his players, been sent off for "improper and/or abusive and/or threatening behaviour and/or language", handed a 4-game touchline ban and fined £1500 by an independent committee. So I guess he's had better weeks. Forest Green sit 24th of 24 in League 2, making them the worst positioned club of the 92 teams across the 4 leagues.
For a moment's entertainment let's return to 2013 and the second leg of the Championship play-off semi-final between the player Troy Deeney's Watford and Leicester City. Watford lead the game 2-1 and it's 2-2 on aggregate. In the dying moments of added time Leicester win a penalty and promptly miss it, blowing all hopes of making the Final in normal time out of the window. It remained 2-2 on aggregate and extra time now looked certain. But from the missed penalty, Watford's Cassetti cleared it to Anya who streaked away feeding Forestieri over on the right; Leicester were caught short here; Forestieri wasted no time in sending in a cross which Hogg headed on to Deeney who blasted it home for 3-1 Watford on the day but more importantly 3-2 on aggregate. Deeney ran into the crowd tossing his shirt in the air. Fans streamed onto the pitch. Flares burst into life. Watford manager Gianfranco Zola ran fifty yards along the touchline before stumbling and crashing onto his ass to the ground - the whole of Vicarage Road bounced with disbelief and joy. Reporter Johnny Phillips - a huge Wolves fan; three books' worth, in fact - was on duty for Sky that day and it is interesting to witness how in a matter of moments a grown man's voice can transmute so readily into that of an hysterical squealing schoolgirl who has just spotted a spider on her knee.
(His wife wasn't too happy with the state of his trousers when he got home either)

The battle-weary commander is odds on to go next. As eloquent as ever, Hodgson soldiered on his post-match interviews amid questions about injuries, finances, fans, but with one win in 15 (v Brentford over Christmas, and if you're looking for that last but one win you have to go back to September) Palace have sunk into the relegation pond sitting 5 points above 18th placed Luton who have a game in hand over them. Hodgson 4/11 Ten Hagg 4/1 13/2 BAR

Klopp is leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.
I reckon they'll target Alonso to replace him.

Yes, and Klopp's announcement has suspended the book on next to go. I don't understand why. Is there a shock horror (for Liverpool fans, that is) departure before the end of the season? Or is there a coincidental movement with some other EPL manager afoot? At any rate, Xabi Alonso, currently leading Bayer Leverkusen at the top of the Bundesliga, is firm favourite to replace Klopp at a best-priced 6/5 across the books, the lowest price being 1/2.

Sounds like Klopp is burned out. We'll see if this announcement serves as inspiration for the team.

Mauricio Pochettino receives the dreaded vote of confidence from the owners (or "good texts" in this case) and, with Sunday's defeat to Wolves thrown in, finds himself in the murky fray of next to go. Texts are usually trifles, scams, bill demands or breaking news that your relationship is over, the latter of which are an easy cop-out, a no-emotion no-hassle method of irrevocable termination. We've seen it so many times, in love and in football.
How many Chelsea managers in the past ten years? Well, ten - plus one, everyone from Rafael Benitez to Antonio Conte; Maurizio Sarri to Bruno Saltor (who? I hear you asking, and might well you ask, because I missed him as well) So, come in number 11, your time is up. Or at least so the bookies are beginning to think. The ex-Spurs Nearly Man goes in as second favourite to the odds-on Roy Hodgson who may draw sympathy from some quarters as the more gentile side of Premier League managers, the wizened wise and most seemingly polite of them all, cherry-cheeked and wrinkled of brow like your old grandpappy when you were a kid, the one who always knew what present to get you at Christmas, whose cigar smoke coiling around the fireplace was half-killing you but the aroma yet irresistible and comforting.
Or is he? Eloquent, expressive, yes, but withal always ready to refute point blank any reasonable suggestion that he may have got the game quite wrong. Insistent to the point of obstinate, we've all seen the interviews, time and time again. Make no mistake, this ain't no jolly old gramps you'd knock a ball about with when the other kids had all gone home - he ties up the interviewers with strings other managers can't even unravel. And what's wrong with that? Well, nothing really, just don't feel too bad for him when the chop falls. At any rate, he remains at 2/5 with Pocho on his heels.
Hodgson 2/5 Pocho 3/1 12/1 BAR
A TASTE OF HONEY HODGSON

That's been deleted. Guessing it was about Hodge being hospitalized. Sad. Was 1/20 to go last night. Was 1/20 for next manager to go, I mean, not next to go as in... you know... but yes I can't see him coming back as coach.

No win in 8 Vincent Kompany finds himself 7/4 favourite for next to go and if you fancy doubling up with Burnley going down at 1/14 you're on for a nearly 2/1 twofold. David 'The Diceman' Moyes gets some relief following West Ham's disposal of Brentford and goes out to 11/2.
NEXT TO GO : Kompany 7/4 Nobody 7/2 Moyes 11/2 Wilder 6/1 Pochettino 6/1 Frank 10/1 Howe 12/1 20/1 BAR

Kompany 7/4 ("We must keep going with Kompany and give him time to sort it out.") Pochettino 4 ("We need an interim manager. There's still enough time to salvage a place in Europe.") Nobody 4 Hag 9/2 ("No chance in hell will Ten Hag win the league in the years left of his United contract.") Wilder 5 ("Chris Wilder doesn’t know what he’s doing.") 10/1 BAR.
