9-4 Swans cut for drop after giving Bob a job

A NUMBER of bookmakers have cut Swansea for relegation after they replaced manager Francesco Guidolin with Bob Bradley.

The former USA and Egypt coach left French second division side Le Havre to take over at the Liberty Stadium with Swansea 17th in the Premier League and best at 9-4 to be relegated.

Guidolin had been the 5-1 ante-post sack-race favourite in the Premier League so his swift departure is no great surprise, but the layers are split on who will be next out.

Hills rate Tony Pulis favourite at 5-2 but he is as big as 6-1 with Betfair and Paddy Power, who both have David Moyes as their market leader.

Moyes is 4-1 with Hills and they also rate Slaven Bilic a 3-1 shot, although the West Ham gaffer heads the betting with Sky Bet.

Steve Bruce is the 11-10 favourite to replace Roberto Di Matteo at Aston Villa after the Italian was sacked by the Sky Bet Championship club.

Brentford’s Dean Smith is next at 7-1, while Huddersfield’s David Wagner is 9-1 and caretaker Steve Clarke is 10-1 to get the job on a permanent basis.
