Curbishley favourite for the Villa Park hot seat

Alan Curbishley has left Charlton Athletic after 15 years of service and bet365.com are pricing up where he will manage next.

bet365 spokesman Steve Freeth "Curbishley's name has been bandied around Villa Park for a number of years now and these whispers will now get stronger now he's walked away from the Valley.

"Villa have had a shocking season and with the fans calling for a change of manager, Curbishley could easily be top of the list should there be a change in the summer."

The odds for Curbishley are Aston Villa 2/1, Newcastle 7/2, England 4/1, Middlesbrough 5/1, Hearts 7/1, Fulham 8/1, West Brom 14/1, Birmingham 16/1, Portsmouth 20/1 and Sunderland at 20/1. More odds are available from bet365.com.
