Ok, now the bookies are getting in on this. A disaster for LFC if this is true.
"Liverpool: Jose Mourinho favourite to succeed Rafa Benitez this season
Antony Melvin, SquareFootball
As Rafa Benitez continues to discuss transfers with Liverpool's owners using the fourth estate rather than the telephone it has further slashed the odds on him quitting. William Hill have released the latest odds on him going and quote him as 5/2 to leave liverpool before the end of the season (25 Nov, 3pm).
In fact the bookies are smelling blood to the extent that William Hill have opened a book on his successor, and after a report in The News of the World (25.11.2007) Jose Mourinho has been installed as the short odds favourite to replace Benitez.
Next Liverpool Manager:
7/2 Jose Mourinho
11/2 Martin Jol
6/1 Martin O'Neill
7/1 Fabio Capello, Guus Hiddink
8/1 Jurgen Klinnsmann
14/1 Marcello Lippi
'The days when Liverpool invariably promoted from within are long gone and were this job to become available it would attract interest from all over Europe'
said Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe."
