    Jake Paul next opponent: Conor McGregor and KSI among those tipped to fight YouTuber after Tommy Fury denied US entry

    JAKE PAUL’S hotly-anticipated bout with Tommy Fury is under serious threat after the Love Island star was denied entry to the US.And Betfair reckon KSI is the favourite to step-in and fight his fellow YouTuber – with Conor McGregor’s name also linked.
    Jake Paul might be on the lookout for a new opponent
    BETFAIR: GET £30 IN FREE BETS*
    Fury arrived at Heathrow to travel across the Atlantic to promote the bout at a press conference.
    On arrival, a member of staff advised him his ESTA had been rejected.
    That has left the August 6 clash at Madison Square Gardens in major doubt.
    On hearing the news that Fury wouldn’t be granted access to the US, KSI tweeted that he hoped the issues would be sorted.
    And joked that Jake Paul could fight on his undercard if he had no other option.
    Paul tweeted back at KSI and accused him of running scared and avoiding the bout.
    As a result, Betfair make KSI the 6/4 favourite to fight Paul in Fury’s absence.
    Jake Paul next opponentBetfair odd

    Nick Diaz is next best in the market at odds of 3/1.
    The 38-year-old UFC legend has been tipped for fights with the Paul brothers before alongside younger brother, Nate.
    Another from the UFC world, Anderson Silva recently beat Bruno Machado in an exhibition bout last month.
    He’s been tipped to be a step too far for Paul at this stage of his boxing career and Betfair have him at 5/1.
    Then two opponents he knows very well. Tyron Woodley is 8/1 to face Paul a third time, having lost out twice to the YouTuber previously.
    He stepped in for Tommy Fury last December when Fury pulled out through injury and illness as he went looking for revenge.
    But he came up short again.
    Ben Askren lost out within two minutes of the pair’s previous bout and is as big as 10/1 to take him on again in Fury’s place.
    Floyd Mayweather is no stranger to being called out by the Paul brothers for what would be a mega-money clash.
    And any talk of a rematch with Conor McGregor appears to have been shut down in recent days.
    Mayweather is 16/1 to face Jake Paul, with McGregor a 20/1 outsider.

    Next Derby manager – latest odds: Liam Rosenior odds-on ahead of Sean Dyche after Wayne Rooney sensationally quits club

    LIAM ROSENOIR is odds-on favourite to replace departing Derby manager Wayne Rooney.Manchester United and England legend Rooney won rave reviews in charge of the Rams last season.

    Rooney almost kept the club in the Championship despite starting the season with a 12-point deduction.
    However, his time at Derby has come to an end as he announced his resignation.
    Rooney told the club website: “Over the course of the summer I have been closely following developments regarding the ownership of Derby County.
    “Today I met with the administrators to inform them of my decision that it was time for me to leave the club.
    “In fairness to them, they tried tremendously hard to change my decision but my mind was made up.
    “My time at the club has been a rollercoaster of emotions, both highs and lows, but I have to say that I have enjoyed the challenge.
    “Personally, I feel the club now needs to be led by someone with fresh energy and not affected by the events that have happened over the last eighteen months.”
    But who’s tipped to replace Rooney as Derby manager?
    What do the odds say?
    Bookmakers Betfair are tipping Rooney’s assistant Rosenoir to be promoted.
    The former Brighton ace is odds-on at 4/6.
    Former Burnley manager Sean Dyche is at 4/1 with Betfair.
    Third best is Frank Lampard, who nearly guided Derby to the Premier League in 2019.
    The now Everton manager is at 6/1 with Betfair.
    Steve Cooper performed a miracle at Nottingham Forest last season, helping the club go from being relegation-threatened to promotion to the top flight.
    Rosenoir is 4/6 to become Derby boss
    The Englishman is being tipped at 8/1.
    Former Derby manager Steve McClaren is an outside option at 10/1.
    However, the 61-year-old has just taken a job back at Man Utd as Erik ten Hag’s assistant.
    And John Terry is at 12/1 to land his first managerial role in professional football.
    Next Derby County managerBetfair odds

    Chelsea Icon Terry insists he’s “ready” for management following his departure from Aston Villa as assistant manager last summer.
    However, the job has to be right for the former centre-back.
    He said: “I’m ready to go into management and had been approached while I was at Villa, but those jobs wasn’t right for me, I was always honest with the gaffer, I didn’t want to start the season if a job come up.”
    He continued: “I’m ready [for management], I’m waiting but there’s a lot of things that need to be right, I’m in no rush, just patiently waiting, if the right one comes along I’m also comfortable with that.”

    Wayne Rooney next club – latest odds: Everton frontrunners to hand Man Utd legend next job after he quit Derby County

    WAYNE ROONEY has ignored the plea of Derby County administrators and sensationally quit the crisis-hit club.The Manchester United legend says someone with a ‘fresh energy’ is required to lead the club back to the Championship.

    But does the 36-year-old have something else in the pipeline?
    Talks continue off the park as the Pride Park club searches for new ownership following the breakdown of recent takeover talks.
    He was prominent in the betting for recent vacancies at Everton and Burnley, which were later filled by Frank Lampard and Vincent Kompany.
    Following relegation, Rooney told Derby supporters he would stand by the club and spearhead their promotion push.
    So what has changed and does he have his eyes somewhere else?
    What do the odds say?
    Bookmakers Betfair make Everton the 4/1 favourite to be Rooney’s next destination as boss.
    He was linked with the role when Rafa Benitez left but said he wanted to see through the job with the Rams as they battled relegation.
    The Toffees just stayed up in the top flight and Lampard still has two years left on his current contract.
    Next best is Southampton at 8/1.
    Ralph Hassenhuttl is amongst the favourites to leave his post first in the league next term – could Rooney be waiting for that?
    It would present him with his first Premier League job and a top flight club who will be battling for a top half finish.
    Wayne Rooney is tipped for an Everton return
    Championship side Norwich City are next but at double figure odds of 10/1 with Betfair.
    The Canaries will again be looking for a sharp return to the Premier League after last year’s dismal survival attempt.
    Dean Smith was brought in midway last campaign and is contracted until next summer but it could potentially open an avenue into the Premier League for Wazza.
    This one wouldn’t go down too well with United fans – Leeds are next in at 14/1!
    Wayne Rooney next clubBetfair odds

    Would Leeds fans be happy with that appointment either? Perhaps not.
    A return to Old Trafford is likely another managerial step away in terms of his career so far but they are priced up at 16/1 with Betfair.
    Erik Ten Hag has only just taken the reins and should be given time to rebuild after a hugely disappointing season last year.
    Chelsea the only other club given a price and that option is the rank outsider at 33/1.

    Watford next manager odds: Fabio Cannavaro favourite ahead of Frank Lampard & Paulo Fonseca as Claudio Ranieri is sacked

    FABIO CANNAVARO is the outright favourite to replace Claudio Ranieri as Watford manager.That’s according to bookmakers Betfair, who’ve updated their next manager market after Ranieri was relieved of his duties at Vicarage Road.

    BETFAIR – GET A £20 FREE BET WHEN YOU PLACE £50 WORTH OF BETS. REPEAT UP TO FIVE TIMES*

    The Italian replaced Xisco in October but has been unable to stop the rot.
    The 70-year-old has collected just seven points from a possible 39 since his arrival at Vicarage Road.
    The Hornets – aside from wins over Everton and Manchester United – lost 11 of their 14 matches under Ranieri.
    Their latest defeat to relegation rivals Norwich has seen Watford drop into the bottom three but they do still hold valuable games in hand.
    As a result, Ranieri was priced at a staggering 1/50 to be the next top-flight boss to be sent packing earlier today.
    And Watford later confirmed his dismissal on their official website.
    The statement read: “Watford Football Club confirms the departure of Head Coach Claudio Ranieri.
    “The Hornets’ Board recognises Claudio as a man of great integrity and honour, who will always be respected here at Vicarage Road for his efforts in leading the team with dignity.
    Watford next managerBetfair odds

    “However the Board feels that, with nearly half of the Premier League campaign remaining, a change in the Head Coach position now will give a new appointment sufficient time to work with a talented squad to achieve the immediate goal of retaining Premier League status.”
    The club’s owners, the Pozzo family, are known for their ruthless dealings with managers with Ranieri their 10th appointment in seven years.
    But who will replace Ranieri?
    Betfair believe Cannavaro is the leading contender at 2/1 having overtaken previous favourites Frank Lampard and Paulo Fonseca.
    The Italy legend – who won the World Cup and Ballon d’Or in 2006 – is recently claimed to have interviewed to replace Rafa Benitez at Everton.
    But the 48-year-old could be considered a major risk given that he’s never managed in Europe.
    Cannavaro has worked at Guangzhou Evergrande, Al-Nassr, Tianjin Quanjian and briefly as the manager of the Chinese national side, losing both of his matches.
    Free agent Lampard is next in the betting market at 4/1, with Fonseca slightly further behind at 6s.
    Daniel Farke, who was sacked as Norwich manager in November, is a fraction ahead of Bournemouth boss Scott Parker at 8/1.
    Rafa Benitez is offered at 11/1 to make a quick return to first-team management, while Mark Hughes is 16/1.

    Watford next manager odds – Pellegrini, Benitez and Fonseca rival favourite Lampard for Hornets job if Ranieri is sacked

    FRANK LAMPARD is the outright favourite to replace Claudio Ranieri as Watford manager.That’s according to bookmakers Betfair, who’ve updated their next manager market as the pressure increases on Ranieri at Vicarage Road.
    Former Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is favourite for the Watford job, say Betfair
    BETFAIR – GET A £20 FREE BET WHEN YOU PLACE £50 WORTH OF BETS. REPEAT UP TO FIVE TIMES*

    The Italian replaced Xisco Munoz in October but has been unable to reverse the club’s fortunes.
    The 70-year-old has collected just seven points from a possible 36 since his arrival at Vicarage Road.
    The Hornets — aside from wins over Everton and Manchester United — have lost 10 of their 13 matches under Ranieri.
    Watford sit 17th in the division and one point clear of the relegation zone but do boast valuable games in hand over rivals Norwich and Newcastle.
    As a result, Ranieri is favourite to be the next top-flight boss received of his duties.
    He would be the 15th managerial departure under the club’s owners, the Pozzo family, since they took over in 2012.
    Watford next managerBetfair odds

    But who will replace Ranieri?
    Betfair believe former Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is the frontrunner having significantly shortened his odds from 10/1 to 7/2.
    Paulo Fonseca is next in the betting at 5/1 having recently been tipped for roles at Tottenham, Everton and Newcastle.
    Daniel Farke, who was sacked as Norwich manager in November, shares odds of 8/1 along with Bournemouth boss Scott Parker.
    Free agent Rafa Benitez, who was sacked by the Toffees on Sunday, and Real Betis’ Manuel Pellegrini are locked together at 10s while Blackburn boss Tony Mowbray has been added to the list at 14/1.
    Mark Hughes has made it clear he would like a return to top-flight management and is offered at 16/1 to get his wish.

    Watford next manager – Bookies SLASH odds on former Chelsea boss Frank Lampard, Allardyce, Hodgson and Farke in the mix

    FRANK LAMPARD is now the outright favourite to replace Claudio Ranieri as Watford manager.That’s according to bookmakers Betfair, who’ve updated their next manager market as the pressure increases on Ranieri at Vicarage Road.
    Former Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is favourite for the Watford job, say Betfair

    The Italian replaced Xisco Munoz in October but has been unable to reverse the club’s fortunes.
    Aside from memorable victories over Everton and Manchester United — Watford have lost ten of their 12 games under his leadership.
    The club have lost seven-consecutive matches and conceded a whopping 20 goals in the process — only Leeds, Newcastle and Norwich have let in more this campaign.
    The Hornets sit 17th in the division — two points clear of Burnley in the relegation zone and Watford would drop into the bottom three if the Clarets win their game in hand.
    As a result, Ranieri is joint-favourite to be the next top-flight boss received of his duties.
    The 70-year-old would be the 15th managerial departure under the club’s owners, the Pozzo family, since they took over in 2012.
    Watford next managerBetfair odds

    But who will replace Ranieri?
    Betfair believe former Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is the frontrunner having significantly shortened his odds from 10/1 to 11/4.
    Daniel Farke, who was sacked as Norwich manager in November, is the second-favourite at 4/1 to make a quick return to the English top flight.
    Paulo Fonseca is next in the betting at 6/1 having recently been tipped for roles at Tottenham, Everton and Newcastle.
    Veteran duo Sam Allardyce and Roy Hodgson are both locked together at 7s with Slavisa Jokanovic and Garry Monk also sharing a price of 9/1.
    Neil Lennon is 10/1 having remained a free agent since his Celtic departure in February 2021.
    Previous favourite Diego Martinez has drifted markedly from 4/1 to 11/1.
    The former Granada boss, 41, earned promotion with the club before leading them to a seventh-placed finish in his debut top-flight campaign.
    He reached the Europa League quarter-finals during the club’s first ever European appearance before losing to Manchester United.
    The Athletic claim Martinez, who allowed his contract to expire in June, has spent time in the UK working on his English and watching Premier League football.
