Frank De Boer Bookies Favourite To Replace Koeman
Frank De Boer is the man the bookies feel will replace Ronald Koeman according to the latest odds after Koeman departed St Mary's for Everton.
Frank De Boer is as low as 3/1 to be the next manager of Saints and he is followed by Eddie Howe on similar odds and then Andre Villas Boas and Manuel Pellegrini at around 8/1.
Then there are a plethora of candidates starting with David Moyes at 12/1.
Unai Emery still figures highly and although some bookies have him in single figures others have him at 20/1.
A good outside bet would be Murat Yakin formerly of Spartak Moscow at 33/1, he has the CV that Saints would be looking for and for those of you who are looking for a bet that could make you some money, this could be your man.
The reality is that for the bookies this is a fun bet and therefore they have priced the popular choices low to ensure that the masses don't take them for a fortune.
