Early favourite for the post is ex-Hammers boss Alan Pardew, why is beyond me but he is tipped heavily on a number of sites as favourite for the post and is priced best at 6/4 on PaddyPower. However breaking news is that Martin Jol, the man who looked ‘certain’ to get the Fulham job over the summer, has resigned as Ajax boss. Fuelling rumours that he is headed for St James Park, he is tipped heavily on the sites now but the best odds can be found at William Hill at 5/4.

For those of you who like a bit more romance and entertainment in your football, there is the prospect of a Tyneside return for Alan Shearer, the England and Geordie hero is priced handsomely as an outsider in the race at 66/1 on Paddy Power.

More realistically though is Martin O’Neil, whose Departure from Aston Villa earlier in the season leaves him free for the post, the only problem is that O’Neil walked over a fall out with the board and chairman because of a lack assurances for the team. The same problem some must argue looms if he manages under Ashley, so the bookmakers have cautiously priced him out of being a favourite but a close outsider, with the best odds being at 10/1 on Sky Bet.

A last contender is Alan Curbishley who could prove to be a shock candidate but is helped by a stable CV which may appeal to Ashley, he is best priced at 9/1 on Sky Bet.
