Next Chelsea Manager

I noticed that Ladbrokes allegedly went 7/2 Mourinho to be next Chelsea manager yesterday, not long after the " Rafa rant". The price, if it was ever available, was totally unsustainable as other bookmakers had been trading this market before Ladbrokes and the average price of the Portuguese was consistently around the even-money mark. Predictably Oddschecker today published the moves at Ladbrokes: 5/2, 6/4, Evens, 8/11.

Of course my interest in this market can be seen near the top of my 2013 c/f bets list:

Just over two years ago (on 22/02/11) I recommended three points @ 16/1 that Chelsea would be Mourinho's next English club managed. The bet is with legendary (non-) layer Victor Chandler, with whom my account has been closed for some time as, contrary to his image, he doesn't tolerate punters that back winners.

The timing could be right for Chelsea as Mourinho looks like he will be free in the summer. This would be terrific if it came off but there are a lot of ifs and buts as yet.

But how sweet it would be to cop another 48 points from the "great" (non-) layer!
