Mark Hughes stepped down from his post as the manager of Fulham on Thursday night, amid speculation he was about to take up the vacancy at Aston Villa. Although it seems this may not now be the case, either way Fulham are still looking for a new boss. Hughes, and Hodgson before him were both good appointments for the West London club, as the Cottagers have enjoyed solid midtable finishes. It is important then that Fulham get it right again to ensure the solid building work can continue.
Martin O’Neill is the early favourite, and would be a popular choice after he enjoyed a good spell at Aston Villa, guiding them to several 6th place finishes. O’Neill has been out of work since leaving that post at Villa in August last year and is best priced at 4.5 with William Hill. Alan Curbishley is another early favourite with odds of 9.0 available at Victor Chandler.
Curbishley has been out of work since leaving West Ham in 2008, but is most known for the great work he achieved at Charlton when he won promotion to, and kept them in, the Premier League. Chris Hughton is another name in the frame, although slightly longer odds, with 21.0 available from Paddy Power. Hughton is a fairly young manager but achieved good things at Newcastle in getting them promoted and establishing them in the top flight.
