Bookmaker suspends betting on Benitez exit

Irish bookmaker Paddy Power has today suspended betting on Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez leaving the club after a flood of bets this afternoon.

At the start of the day the Liverpool boss had been a 22/1 outsider to be the next Premier League manager to lose his job but a betting plunge pushed Rafa’s odds all the way down to 7/1 before the firm pulled the plug at 4/1.
