Temuri Ketsbaia's odds slashed in Next Newcastle United Manager Betting

Temuri Ketsbaia is the big mover in the Next Newcaste United Manager Market after bookmakers cut his odds following a flurry of bets. At the weekend the former Toon midfielder was as far out as 66/1 with Bet Victor, who have since slashed the Georgian's odds to 12/1, whereas the likes of Bet365, William Hill and Betfair have the 46-year-old priced even shorter at 10/1. Meanwhile Remi Garde is once again the narrow favourite for the vacancy after jumping ahead of Steve McClaren, who insists he will remain at the helm of Championship side Derby.
Newcastle fans will remember Ketsbaias from the 1990s, during which he made 78 appearances for the Magpies, netting eight goals, including a last-gasp winner against Bolton (1998) when he infamously whipped off his shirt, and went berserk by furiously kicking the advertising boards.
