McCarthy cut to 4-7 for next top flight boss exit
MICK MCCARTHY is 4-7 favourite with Hills and Paddy Power to be the next Premier League manager to be sacked after punters latched on to rumours that the Wolves manager was set to get the boot.
Senior sources at the club have attempted to quash talk about
McCarthy’s future but Wanderers are evens to be relegated and sit second from bottom, with the pressure building on the man who has been at the helm since July 2006.
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp’s belief that Mario Balotelli should have been sent off during their 3-2 defeat at Manchester City on Sunday looked to have been justified on Monday night when the Italian forward was charged by the FA for an alleged stamp on Spurs midfielder Scott Parker.
Balotelli’s offence went unpunished by referee Howard Webb but he will now have to contest a charge of violent conduct.
The fiery forward had earlier been 4-6 with Ladbrokes to be handed a suspension and 11-10 to escape any action.
Joleon Lescott will not face any action over an alleged elbow on
Younes Kaboul in the same game.
Everton midfielder Diniyar Bilyaletdinov looks set to move to Spartak Moscow after the two clubs agreed a deal.
