STEVE COOPER is favourite to be the next Premier League manager relieved of his duties.
That’s according to bookmakers Betfair, who’ve priced the Nottingham Forest boss at 11/10 to become the 14th managerial casualty of the 2022-23 season.

We’ve reached the business end of the campaign, but that clearly won’t stop clubs from considering their options.
Leicester’s Brendan Rodgers and Chelsea boss Graham Potter become the 12th and 13th top-flight departures of the season yesterday, and Betfair think Cooper is most likely to follow suit.
Nottingham Forest extended their winless run to seven matches over the weekend when drawing 1-1 with Wolves at the City Ground.
Daniel Podence scored a late equaliser to leave Forest in 15th position with 27 points from 28 matches, and a single point above the relegation zone.
Forest have now dropped 15 points from winning positions in home Premier League games this season, the most of any other side.
Next Premier League manager to leave his position (14th)
Betfair odds
- Steve Cooper – 11/10

Cooper’s side are now second-favourites to be relegated from the division at 10/11 with perhaps the most difficult fixtures remaining.
Forest still have to face Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal in their final ten games and tomorrow’s trip to Leeds is a genuine six-pointer.
David Moyes is next in the betting at 5/2.
The Scotsman, 59, has spent much of the season as favourite to be the next manager axed but looks more assured after their 1-0 win over Southampton.
The Hammers have 27 points and a valuable game in hand over the majority of their relegation rivals.
No manager to leave is available at 7/2, ahead of outsiders Thomas Frank (11/1), Ruben Selles (14/1) and Julen Lopetegui (14/1).
