Tony Mowbray is Ladbrokes 1/3 to replace Gordon Strachan at Middlesbrouugh but don’t discount Paul Jewell at 33/1 with Skybet
Strachan left the Riverside today after a highly unsuccessful spell on Teeside.
Phil Brown is the early second favourite at 5/1, Alan Curbishley can be backed at 6s, Alan Pardew is an 8/1 shot with Paul Ince 14/1.
Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes told betrescue.com said: “Tony Mowbray has been the name on Boro fan’s lips for a while now, and looks to be pole position to take over.”
Nevertheless we fancy former Bradford City and Wigan boss Jewell who has been out of the game since leaving Derby nearly two years ago.
He gained promotion to the Premier League on a fairly small budget, he lives within 90 minutes of Middlesborough and the size of club would be a step up for the Liverpudlian.
