Next Burnley manager odds: Bookmaker revives market amid Vincent Kompany uncertainty
Vincent Kompany remains the overwhelming odds on favourite to become the new Burnley boss at Turf Moor.
But with the saga dragging on — and supporters beginning to grow anxious — popular bookmaker SkyBet are once again taking bets on who will be appointed as Sean Dyche’s successor.
Work permit issues are believed to be the hold up for ex-Anderlecht manager Kompany, who is priced at 1/20, though reports circulating recently suggested that the former Manchester City captain had welcomed talks with Ligue 1 side Nice.
So here are the revised runners and riders in the market.
