Manager mayhem

I don't know how to price the chance of somebody leaving their job or even being appointed to a new one. I do know that if you lay two selections at least at odds on, you will make money. With this in mind you may want to look at the next manager or related markets which always seem to throw up significant opportunities.

This week saw Kevin Keegan resign from Newcastle Football Club, or at least we thought he did. It then appears that Alan Curbishley beat him to be the 'winner' of the managerial change market on Betfair when he quit West Ham. Betfair have the market on hold while they try to work out who did or didn't quit first. Both traded below 1.05.
