Neil Critchley is now 4/1 to make a return to Blackpool
The hunt is on for the next Blackpool manager and former Tangerines boss Neil Critchley has been backed into joint favourite at 4/1 in the market.
Critchley left the club back in 2022 to become Steven Gerrard’s assistant at Aston Villa and reports suggest that a return could well be on the cards.
Sunday Mirror journalist Darren Witcoop reported that Blackpool had “sounded out” Critchley for a return to the club in the Summer.
BetVictor now put Critchley alongside Karl Robinson as favourite in the betting market with a 20% chance of doing so according to the odds.
| Next Blackpool Manager | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Neil Critchley | 4/1 | 20% |
| Karl Robinson | 4/1 | 20% |
| Graham Alexander | 4/1 | 20% |
| Ian Evatt | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Stephen Dobbie | 12/1 | 7.7% |
Karl Robinson and Graham Alexander alongside Critchley in the betting
The betting market for the next Blackpool manager sees both Karl Robinson and Graham Alexander also at 4/1 to take over the club next.
Both Robinson and Alexander are without clubs so joining Blackpool wouldn't need any sort of compensation to be agreed with a current club.
Robinson has been linked with many roles in recent months and was a short priced contender for the Tranmere job at one point before drifting out to 8/1 in that market.
Next Blackpool Manager Betting Odds and History
Blackpool are now just 1/50 to be relegated this season
Betting is still available for relegation in the Championship this season and Blackpool are as short as 1/50 to go down from the division this season.
Judging by those odds it will take a miracle for the Tangerines to stay up this season and with 5 games left and 7 points from safety it’s unlikely they’ll stay up.
Wigan have the slimmest chance of staying up this season with bookies making them 1/100 to go down from the Championship this campaign.
| Championship Relegation 22/23 | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Wigan | 1/100 | 99% |
| Blackpool | 1/50 | 98% |
| QPR | 5/4 | 44.4% |
| Reading | 7/4 | 36.4% |
| Huddersfield | 11/4 | 26.7% |
