PAUL LAMBERT is the even-money favourite to replace Alex McLeish at Aston Villa according to Ladbrokes.
The Norwich boss saw his odds slashed from 8-1 to 2-1 in a matter of hours once McLeish had been dismissed – and a run of money since has forced his price down to 1-1.
Mick McCarthy is also a massive market mover with his odds tumbling from 20-1 to 5-4.
Early favourite Roberto Martinez has been left to drift out to 3-1 after Wigan chairman Dave Whelan publically stated he expects his manager to be at the DW Stadium in August.
