ADAMS GOES ODDS ON FOR POMPEY

Paddy Power Portsmouth & Spurs Latest
Tony Adams is the man almost every punter wants to back to be next manager of Portsmouth with bookie Paddy Power cutting his odds in the first 36 hours of betting from 9/4 to 1/2.

Sam Allardyce remains second favourite, although his odds have eased from 4/1 to 9/2 whilst almost all other contenders have seen a significant drift in their odds.

The most noticeable exceptions to this that are seeing some levels of interest are Avram Grant, whose Portsmouth connections have seen his odds slashed from 14/1 to 9/2, and Kevin Keegan who came into the betting today after some small interest at 20/1. Joe Jordan, who many believe may join Harry Redknapp at Spurs, is the biggest faller at 14/1 from an early 5/1 on Sunday morning.

Jermain Defoe, who Redknapp brought to Portsmouth from Spurs, is already the subject of speculation over a possible return to White Hart Lane, which Paddy Power makes 5/2 to happen in the January transfer window.

Darren Haines, spokesman for Paddy Power, said: The speculation may have been about Allardyce so far but the betting is almost exclusively Tony Adams and Avram Grant. It remains to be seen if punters will be enjoying another betting coup regarding the Portsmouth manager.
