Clark & Sparky backed for Leicester

LEE CLARK & Mark Hughes are the latest managers to see their odds shorten for the Leicester vacancy according to Ladbrokes.

Martin O'Neill has been friendless in the betting after an overnight gamble with his price now stagnant at 10/11 whilst Lee Clark sees his odds slashed from 10/1 to 5/1 instantly.

Mark Hughes is also a popular selection as his odds halve again from 10/1 into 5/1 after brisk trade.

Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes said: "The deluge of money for O'Neill has dried up as attention now turn to those with bigger prices. Clark & Hughes are all the rage today whilst Curbishley is the best backed outsider."
