| McCarthy Favourite Premiership Manager to Get Sacked |
William Hill has made Wolves manager Mick McCarthy the favourite to be the next Premiership manager sacked.The bookmaker has made McCarthy 4/7 favourite to be the next managerial casualty in the Premiership after their recent 3-2 defeat to Aston Villa despite recently managing a draw with title contenders Tottenham.
William Hill spokesperson Graham Sharpe said “The internet has been alive with rumours about Mick McCarthy's future and punters have been keen to back him to be the next Prem boss to go.”
The other contenders to face the axe next in the Premiership include Blackburn’s Steve Kean at 9/2, Chelsea’s Andre Villas-Boas at 8/1, Bolton’s Owen Coyle who is also at 8/1 and Wigan’s Roberto Martinez at 10/1.
Despite this recent news, McCarthy was defiant when questioned about whether he was concerned by the daunting prospect of the chop.
"If you listen to it [the rumours about him being the next Premiership manager to be sacked], you would go off your head anyway. I just make sure I get on with it with Terry Connor [assistant manager], Pat Mountain [goalkeeping coach] and Steve Weaver [development coach] and we try to find a result,” said the Wolves manager.
He continued by saying "It is a results business but performances have been very good. We have played very well in recent weeks and I cannot question the performances at all.”
