Next Sheffield Wednesday manager odds: Joey Barton now clear favourite
Joey Barton is now the clear favourite to take over as the next Sheffield Wednesday manager, at a best price of 9/4. In a shock move, he left his position as head coach at Fleetwood Town on Monday and has since had his odds cut from 33/1 to as short as 11/10 for the vacant Wednesday job.
Sheffield Wednesday are on the hunt for a new manager since sacking Tony Pulis after just 45 days in charge of the club. The Owls now sit 21st in the Championship table but are equal on points with Derby County in the relegation zone.
Ex-Wigan Athletic manager Paul Cook had been the favourite in the market just a couple of days ago, but he’s since drifted to 4/1 since the Barton movement.
Caretaker manager Neil Thompson is next in the market at 6/1, while Swiss coach Rene Wieler has been cut from 25/1 into as short as 4/1.
Elsewhere in the market, Mick McCarthy is another market mover. The veteran manager was sacked earlier today by APOEL Nicosia after just two months in charge. Having been priced at 16/1, he’s been cut to as short as 8/1 for the Sheffield Wednesday job since that news.

Oddschecker spokesperson Callum Wilson: “There’s a new favourite every few days in this market, and given the disastrous appointment of Tony Pulis, who knows where Sheffield Wednesday are planning to go next.
“There’s been all sorts of speculation about Barton’s exit from Fleetwood, but having guided the club to the League One play-offs last season, it’s no surprise to see him linked with another job.”
Next Sheffield Wednesday manager odds:
- Joey Barton 9/4
- Paul Cook 4/1

- Rene Weiler 15/2
