Martin Jol To Be Sacked By Fulham?

By Joseph Dempsey / January 14, 2013

Team Talk. Fulham have just one win in six games and are slowly drifting toward the relegation zone, just six points from safety. Although they are considered outsiders for the drop at 14/1, manager Martin Jol could still face the axe. Sky Bet Football Trader Chris Spicer said:

"It comes as somewhat of a surprise that Jol has been backed this morning but Fulham's form of late has been far from impressive, failing to beat strugglers Wigan, Southampton and QPR in recent weeks."

Jol has been sacked by a Premier League side before when his contract was terminated by Tottenham Hotspur in 2007 and he went on to manage Hamburger SV and Ajax before ending up at Craven Cottage in 2011. Meanwhile, Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert remains the 10/11 favourite in the 'next Premier League boss to leave' betting after his side were hauled into the bottom three of the Premier League at the weekend after a 1-0 defeat by relegation rivals Southampton. Villa have now been made "odds-on" for relegation.
