Monk on brink of Swans sacking?

Garry Monk is odds-on 1/2 favourite with Coral to be the next Premier League boss to get the boot, after his struggling Swansea City side have won one of their last nine in all competitions.

Reports in today’s national press claim Swans manager Monk, 36, will be sacked after snubbing a proposed structural change that would see a director of football appointed to work above him.

It is rumoured Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins will seek a more experienced coach to take over at the Liberty Stadium during the international break. Monk’s men are in an even lower league position of 14th than when he replaced predecessor Michael Laudrup in February 2014.

Missing Mourinho sees odds for Blues axe drift

Jose Mourinho may have missed Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat at Stoke City due to a stadium ban, but his price to be axed next has eased to 2/1.

Blues owner Roman Abramovich looks set to stick with ‘the Special One’ for the foreseeable future due to a lack of available alternatives.

Although former Chelsea coaches Carlo Ancelotti, Roberto Di Matteo, Guus Hiddink and Brendan Rodgers, plus ex-England boss Fabio Capello have been linked with Stamford Bridge on an interim basis, Mourinho may be the man to turn things around.
