Sack race odds: Sean Dyche cut after Bournemouth complete 1000/1 comeback


Bournemouth were matched at the maximum exchange price before winning at Everton, which sent Sean Dyche's sack-race odds tumbling.

Dyche entered the weekend as a 4/1 favourite, already having been cut from double-figure odds in pre-season following a dismal start for his Everton side, who lost 3-0 to Brighton and 4-0 to Spurs.

Things looked to be improving just in time for the international break when they led Bournemouth 2-0 with just minutes remaining, before the Cherries scored three for the unlikeliest of turnarounds.

A precious few punters had taken the maximum 1000.0 odds on Betfair Exchange before Antoine Semenyo triggered the turnaround with Bournemouth's second shot on target, and it went from seismic shock to all so very predictable when Luis Sinisterra completed it.

Dyche's sack-race odds were halved to just 2/1 while only the three newly-promoted clubs are shorter than Everton in the relegation betting, with the Toffees into 6/4.

Everton will next head to Villa Park on September 14. After that, they have what appears to be a kinder run of fixtures until the Merseyside derby in December.

Next Premier League Manager to leave (odds via Sky Bet)

  • Sean Dyche - 2/1
  • Steve Cooper - 5/1
  • Enzo Maresca - 7/1
  • Erik ten Hag - 8/1
  • Russell Martin - 9/1
  • Oliver Glasner - 12/1
  • 14/1 bar
