New odds on the first of the football managers to quit

William Hill have slashed Sam Allardyce from 50/1 to 8/1 to be the next Premiership manager to leave his club before the end of the 2004/5 season after Bolton's string of successive defeats.

But the Bolton manager is still only fifth favourite, with Bryan Robson currently 5/2 market leader, with Hills also offering 6/1 for both Chris Coleman and Kevin Keegan.

Hills are also offering 11/4 that no further managers will depart before the end of the current season.
