Next Liverpool FC manager odds - Roberto Martinez set for Anfield talks

Roberto Martinez is odds-on favourite to be the next Liverpool manager after being given permission by Wigan to talk to the Anfield club.

The Carling Cup winners have approached Wigan chairman Dave Whelan over the Spaniard after sacking Kenny Dalglish.

But it is understood Martinez will not be the only manager Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group speak with in their search for a new boss.

Nevertheless, Martinez is now as short as 4/7 to make the short journey to Merseyside, although he is still available at 6/5 with Sportingbet.

Whelan said: “When Liverpool phoned me I was actually with Roberto having a meeting on what we are doing next season.

“I did promise Roberto and I’ve always said that when a big club comes he would have permission to talk to them, and they don't come any bigger than Liverpool.

“I gave him permission and he will be talking to them soon - I don't know when but quite soon.

“When Liverpool sacked Kenny I have to say I thought Liverpool would be knocking on the door and sure enough they are.

“I would love to keep him but I have told Roberto he has my permission to speak with Liverpool. If they are serious, I may lose him.”

Questions are being asked, however, about Martinez’s suitability for a club the size of Liverpool considering he only has experience at the bottom end of the Premier League with Wigan and in the Football League with Swansea before that.

And the understanding that Liverpool have not only set their sights on one man means this market should have quite a distance to go yet before it is settled.

Next permanent Liverpool manager (best odds available)

  6/5 Roberto Martinez (Sportingbet)
  6/1 Brendan Rodgers (Stan James)
  6/1 Andre Villas-Boas (Sky Bet)
11/1 Rafael Benitez (Bet365)
18/1 Fabio Capello (Sportingbet)
20/1 Jurgen Klopp (BetVictor)
22/1 bar
