Bookies offer odds on potential successors to Pardew
10:55am Monday 30th August 2010 in Saints News
Paul Tisdale
BOOKMAKERS are already naming the men they think most likely to takeover from Alan Pardew at Southampton.
Ex-Saint and current Exeter manager Paul Tisdale, was the early favourite, at 9/2, before being usurped by Gianfranco Zola.
He was linked with the job before Pardew took over in July 2009, and has guided the Grecians from Non-League football to League One.
Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe is at 6/1 to make the short journey up the A31, while caretaker boss Dean Wilkins and ex-Middlesbrough manager Gareth Southgate are both priced at 8/1.
Other names in the fold include Alan Curbishley (14/1), Kevin Blackwell (16/1) and ex-Southampton striker Iain Dowie, who is priced at 25/1.
Steve Coppell, Chris Coleman (11/1), Gary Megson (20/1), Phil Brown and and Paul Ince make up the list of favourites to take up the St. Mary's hot seat.
More left-of-field names such as Ruud Gullit, Sven Goran-Eriksson and Glenn Hoddle have also been mentioned as potential successors, although rather unlikely.
Updated odds:
Gianfranco Zola 4/1
Paul Tisdale 5/1
Eddie Howe 6/1
Glenn Hoddle 7/1
Gareth Southgate 8/1
Phil Brown 10/1
Tony Mowbray 10/1
Ian Dowie 14/1
Jim Magilton 14/1
Alan Shearer 16/1
Chris Coleman 16/1
Paul Jewell 16/1
Dean Wikins 16/1
Steve Clarke 16/1
Dennis Wise 16/1
Alan Curbishley 20/1
Paul Ince 20/1
Gary Megson 20/1
Kevin Blackwell 20/1
Micky Adams 22/1
Steve Coppell 25/1
Kevin Keegan 25/1
Chris Wilder 25/1
Alan Knill 28/1
Jim Gannon 28/1
Martin O'Neill 33/1
Jeff Kenna 33/1
Dan Petrescu 40/1
Carlton Palmer 66/1
Matthew Le Tissier 100/1

Poor old Pardew, I see a career as a tv pundit on the cards. You win 4-0 and get the sack?

just that we need a manager with thick skin and not afraid to leave the big stars out when needed so my guess is martin.

All of them are great managers at Conf,L2,L1 with proven track record. We are building for a premiership challenge in a couple of years time and so need somebody who has experience at that level.
Taking somebody with less experience than Pardew would just not work. The goals we want to achieve do not allow for somebody to learn on the job.
Shame that Pardew has gone, but to be honest I suspect the writing was on the wall at end of last season. Poor start to this season finished him off - Saturday's result just came too late.

sw = iron-lord so maybe it is Martin; its certainly an intriguing situation but I cannot help to feel sorry for AP as he did a "very good" job, all the best in the future AP

Tisdale or Howe are a step backwards. I don't think people realise how close we were to appointing Cotterill in May, I'm surprised that he hasn't been mentioned by the bookies so far......

O'Neil would do a Hoddle and high-tail it the minute a Prem League Top 6 became available, waste of time. Coppell is a bottler, Dowie has been sacked more times than an NFL quaterback, Zola has achieved nothing, I asked curbs in Bernidorm over the summer if he fancied the job and he said and i quote "it would be difficult"

Forget 95% of the bookies lists- none are any better than Pards who ,to his credit has been thoroughly professional.
No English Mgrs who are any better than Pards.
Strachan or Zola will do me..and keep Wilkins

Doubt it will be Martin O'Neil as he is "quite" outspoken and NC seems to dislike this sort of character (hope i'm proved wrong though!!!) sw = iron-lord so maybe it is Martin; its certainly an intriguing situation but I cannot help to feel sorry for AP as he did a "very good" job, all the best in the future AP

You will have them too - when Howe loses a few matches, as will happen then you will get them say " Howe has taken us as far as he can". Most football fans are a little less knee jerk than that. Most of us were unhappy with today's news.
You lot make me laugh, You spend the summer slagging him off and then act all indignant when he`s sacked. You might temp a half decent manager to step down to the third tier but only for the money. What are the odds on the next manager being sacked by Xmas? UTCIAD!!

More seriously, the only man in the Echo's betting list I would prefer to Pards is Martin O'Neill. I doubt he'll step down to L1.
Bring back Pards!! All is forgiven.

sorrry about saking pardew..i feel i need to explain why i sacked him
reasons are as follows..
1) tactically inept
2)failed to get promoted with a war chest
3)boring,tiresome post match interviews.(i have been informed they were worse than burleys?)
4)has reverted this great club to long ball kick and rush football.
5)tried it on with my missus.
6)greame souness wants the job.

How come nobody has got on this? It's got to be Shearer. He's said that despite his successful media work he wants to be a manager one day. Surely a club with money (which hopefully we still are) with the potential we've got, what a great opportunity - he takes us through the leagues and then he's the Messiah. He's availiable so could be anounced tomorrow. I'm having £20 @ 16-1. I do want to say however that I am appauled at AP's dismisal. I think he's done a great job, home & away I missed 2 games last season and it was one of my top 5 favourite seasons since I started going in 1966. He's not made a bad signing in my opinion. He p....ed me off on occassions only playing one up front and putting 10 men behind the ball at corners but in all I think he's done a great job. After Bristol on Saturday I thought ..hear we go-at last - and then this!
Thanks for last season AP and I'll buy you a drink out of my £320 winnings if I met you again, best of luck in the future AP.

I would like to see Phil Brown or Tony Mowbray as they get their teams playing good football and have both got out of the Championship so have the best experience.

Saints are looking for experience in the Premiership and promotion from the Championship hence my predictions of Brown or Mowbray...end of discussion!
