Arsene Wenger's odds cut to be next PL boss exit


Arsene Wenger is now 5/1 from 12/1 with Sky Bet to be the next Premier League manager sacked after Arsenal's humiliating Champions League exit at the hands of Bayern Munich.

The Gunners had a mountain to climb after a 5-1 defeat in Germany, but they capitaluated in exactly the same manner at the Emirates and were dumped out 10-2 on aggregate. 

The Frenchman was greeted once more by disgruntled fans in north London while an increasingly tense situation with best player Alexis Sanchez - who was substituted - has not helped. 

Sanchez is now only 7/4 to stay with his current club while his odds to join Manchester City next are into 12/1 from 16s with Sky Bet. 

Arsenal have slipped out of the top four in the Premier League and an FA Cup quarter-final against giant-killing Lincoln is up next - they are 1/12 with Sky Bet to win that and it could be curtains if there was an upset.

Sky Bet make Wenger 11/10 to have no managerial job on August 31 this year and 13/8 to still be employed at the Emirates, while it is 8/1 he heads for Barcelona and 9/1 any of the Chinese Super League outfits. 

Bayern strolled into the next stage of Europe and they have been PRICE BOOSTED currently to 11/4 from 9/4 in the outright betting, while holders Real Madrid are 7/2 chances after they swept past Napoli 6-2 on aggregate.

All eyes will be on 66/1 chances Barcelona on Wednesday night as they try and recover from a 4-0 deficit at home to PSG (7/1). 

It might have been a gloomy night for Arsenal and Wenger but punters were in clover as the Soccer Special Price Boost landed at 9/1 (from 6/1) - it never really looked in a great deal of doubt following those wins for Real, Bayern and also Brighton in the Sky Bet Championship.
