Next Sunderland Manager Betting - O'Neill looks nailed-on for Black Cats job Visit Betfair Save For Later Posted by Bettingpro Staff 2 Dec 2011 Tweet Martin O'Neill (credit: Denis Doyle/Getty Images) Related Articles See all Manager Moves newsWolves v Sunderland tips - Martin O'Neill to begin with a win?Martin O’Neill new Sunderland manager – report Share it Pin It Martin O’Neill has been backed in to 1.06 to become the new Sunderland manager following reports he has accepted the job.The BBC are reporting that he has agreed to step in at the Stadium of Light, and though that claim will be taken with a pinch of salt after they initially talked up Mark Hughes' prospects, leading him to trade at 2.22, the odds suggest that his appointment is imminent.O'Neill divided opinion by leaving Aston Villa days before the start of the 2010/11 campaign. His critics were outraged by the timing of his resignation, while his admirers understood his frustration at a perceived lack of financial backing despite guiding the club into Champions League contention.What even his detractors - this writer being one to an extent - would find difficult to deny however is that the Ulsterman has delivered at pretty much every side that he has ever worked for.His Premier League record as manager of first Leicester and then Villa comprises of eight top-half finishes in nine seasons. Given that Sunderland are only five points off the pace, 3.0 is an attractive price on him making it nine in ten on Wearside.The main arguments made against O'Neill are that his style of football isn't the most attractive and that at Aston Villa he spent large amounts on several players who didn't achieve much, but the Black Cats have already been guilty of both in recent times.And given the unpopularity of Bruce towards the end of his regime, which owed as much to his failure to understand Sunderland supporters - his droning about expectations in the north east bordering on patronising - as underwhelming results, the arrival of a boyhood fan will be welcomed.Even if O'Neill is confirmed this weekend, it is unlikely that he will be in the dugout for Sunday's televised trip to Wolves, in which the visitors are 3.15 to secure only their third victory of the campaign.
