After activating ‘Operation: Get Sacked (Again)’ with a moan-riddled press conference this weekend, we’ve slashed the odds on Jose Mourinho being the first Premier League boss to leave their job.
He’s now the 6/1 favourite in that market – with Mauricio Pochettino (4/1) leading the betting to succeed him, according to our traders.

Mourinho has been critical of the Old Trafford club’s spending and, though they’re odds-on to land Harry Maguire or Toby Alderweireld, the Portuguese is unlikely to be satisfied at the close of the transfer window.
Our spokesman Paddy Power said: “Jose Moan-inho is at it again, getting his excuses in early.
“It looks like a familiar tale, the Special One angling to add a ‘G’ to the second word of his nickname – and a fair few Gs to his bank balance, too.”
