FOOTBALL SUCH AN ODDS GAME

Jose Mourinho

Sunday January 4,2009

By John Richardson

IF you want to make a few extra quid this year, then you might want to take a look at these 2009 footballing specials courtesy of Sky Bet.

Sir Alex Ferguson is 3-1 to leave Manchester United in the next 12 months, the same odds offered on Arsene Wenger ending his relationship with Arsenal.

The odds are shorter on Luiz Felipe Scolari (5-2) cutting short his Chelsea reign, while you can get 11-2 on Rafa Benitez ending his association with Liverpool.

Jose Mourinho (above) has stated his intention of one day returning to manage in the Premier League and that is reflected in odds of just 11-4 on the Inter boss swapping the San Siro for a club near you this year.

Not so appealing, hopefully, is a 10-1 punt on Steven Gerrard and Alex Curran divorcing in 2009!
