No bets on Hoddle successor

Bookmakers William Hill say they have no plans to open a book on Glenn Hoddle's successor at Spurs - just yet.

Bookmakers William Hill say they have no plans to open a book on Glenn Hoddle's successor at Spurs - just yet.

The former England boss was dismissed on Sunday night following the club's worst start to a Premiership season.

But Hill's, who had made Hoddle 4/6 favourite to be the first Premiership manager to leave his job this season, say they believe former Luton and Barcelona boss Raddy Antic is set to take the reins at White Hart Lane.

Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe said: "We have had phone calls from people who would be in a position to know, asking to bet on Raddy Antic to take over, so until we find out for sure that a successor has not already been lined up we will not be opening a book."

Spurs are 9/2 with Hills to be relegated.
