Interestingly, ex-Sunderland boss Poyet has been installed as a 25/1 outside shot to take the vacant role at St Mary’s by BetVictor with Marcelo Bielsa the current favourite at 7/2 with the bookies.

Poyet left Sunderland in 2015 after leading the club to the League Cup final and the “Great Escape” from Premier League relegation during the 2013-2014 campaign.
