The Joy Of Sixth? - Martin O'Neill 4/1 To Get Black Cats Purring

Martin O'Neill looks set for Sunderland and bet365 are 4/1 about the Northern Irishman guiding the Black Cats to a top six finish during his spell, 9/2 to win a trophy and 33/1 to finish this season above Newcastle.

bet365 spokesman Steve Freeth "Sunderland fans seem delighted with the expected appointment and Martin O'Neill made a habit of finishing in the top six at Aston Villa.

"However, some may argue that he spent a huge amount of money during his time at Villa Park, so it will be interesting to see how well he does at Sunderland."
