Whilst all eyes have been on the Cheltenham Festival this week, bookmakers Paddy Power have not forgotten the diversity of their markets and in a crossover sporting special punt, they are offering Odds on Phil Brown's next career move.
Hull City manager Brown, whose unique coaching style has brought him copious tabloid coverage has found himself on 'Gardening Leave' from the club after a run of four defeats have left them in the relegation zone. Brown's managing career has like many been elastic, bouncing from hero to zero. Securing the Tigers' promotion to the premiership in 2008, the first time in their 104 year history, the ex full back was practically canonized but even after trying to bolster his side with a number of new signings in the summer of 2009 the club are finding it difficult to keep their head above water in the premiership.
Gamble On Phil's Future With A Free £250 bet with online bookmakers Paddy Power
Clearly a motivator, passionate and driven by the game it seems unlikely that his future will be outside of the game. Odds of 10/11 are given for him to be offered a managing position back in the Championship and 6/1 that some plc will gamble on him leading their Premiership side. Assessing whether he is a skilled soccer tactician or a motivator is key to assessing this market. If his demise at Hull is analysed as a man out of his depth then others are unlikely to employ him, but if there is a question mark over Hull's financial support of their manager to build a side then a more wealthy team might take a gamble on him.
The 5/2 bet on him taking up permanent pundit status on Sky Sports is understandable for someone who is clearly a natural communicator but it seems unlikely that he would be happy stepping that far back from the turf. Paddy Power are obviously having a lot of fun with the other choices suggesting that at 100/1 he might be a Tanning shop assistant!
