Astonishingly, SkyBet are offering you the chance to get on Rafa Benitez to join Newcastle United at 16 to 1 odds. Newcastle are listed as the first English team on the odds list, whilst Spanish and Italian clubs head up the list.
Benitez was only sacked yesterday by the Spanish giants, but that hasn’t stopped bookies looking for a hopeful punter or two should the Toon fail to turn around their alarming form.
Currently third from bottom, McClaren’s men are in real danger of a relegation scrap, with Rivals Sunderland closing the gap last weekend. It remains to be seen if the current Head Coach will have any backing in the transfer market, with previous reports stating he would have to buy to sell.
Should Newcastle look into signing Rafa Benitez and sacking Steve McClaren?
Here are the odds:
Spanish national side: 4/1
Valencia: 5/1
Atletico Madrid: 9/1
Sevilla: 14/1
AC Milan: 16/1
Newcastle United: 16/1
Manchester City: 25/1
Swansea: 25/1
Chelsea: 40/1
