Scolari cut from 33/1 to 10/1 to be the next boss axed
Odds on Sky Bet plummet after a “flurry of bets” on the Brazilian
Sky Bet are reporting that they have slashed the price on Luiz Felipe Scolari being the next Premier League manager to leave his post from 33/1 to 10/1 after a receiving it was heavily backed over the course of the day.
Chelsea’s unacceptable home form continued with a 1-1 draw with Southend in the FA Cup at the weekend but there have been no newspaper reports suggesting that the Brazilian was clinging onto his job as a result.
There have however been rumours circulating about how badly Roman Abramovich has been hit by the credit crunch so perhaps there is a suspicion that Scolari would resign if he was told the money raised by selling Wayne Bridge wouldn’t be reinvested, although this again seems unlikely. Scolari is also now just 7/4 to last the season as the Blues boss.
Let us know what you think the reason is behind the flurry of bets with a comment below.
UPDATE: Scolari’s price has dropped further to an alarmingly low 4/1, which is just behind joint favourites Mark Hughes and Tony Adams at 11/4. He is now just 5/4 to last the season.

In some ways I miss Mourinho, at least he was entertaining. Plus I htink Scolari’s true colours are now showing. He is a stubborn old man that refuses to adapt and change his tactics when they are not working.
I just hope Chelsea don’t disappoint again this season because of this one fact.
