Hull coy on managerial targets

Soccer Betting Lines

03/16/2010 - Hull, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Hull City chairman Adam Pearson has revealed he is working toward appointing a new manager from a select group of names on a concise short-list.

The Tigers parted company with former manager Phil Brown on Monday and several replacements have already been linked with the job.

Former Crystal Palace, Charlton and QPR boss Iain Dowie is believed to be the frontrunner alongside ex-Manchester City manager Mark Hughes, but Pearson is keeping his cards close to his chest.

"We've got a pretty tight list and we're working through it," he told the club's official website. "We're working through this exercise as quickly as we can, but obviously we want to explore every possibility.

"I think all the names mentioned are pretty reasonable. There are a few who the press haven't picked up on yet that we're talking to and it's always nice to have a couple of secret ones tucked away.

"I think we'll be able to bring that to the fore over the next couple of days."

Whoever takes the job will be charged with saving the 19th-place Tigers from relegation this season.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.

Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season.  Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money. 

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy.  A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.

Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:

Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma)
Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State)
