Appleton backed for West Brom vacancy
Published:Michael Appleton is the subject of continued support with Ladbrokes for the West Brom job.
The bookies have responded to the money by cutting Appleton from 7/1 to the 5/2 second favourite behind Chris Hughton.
Roy Hodgson’s price has also halved into 5/1 (from 10/1) with Sam Allardyce the big drifter (5/2 to 12/1) as punters remain unsure of his chances.
Alan Irvine is shortest priced new addition to the market at 6/1 with Roy Keane a 20/1 chance.
