From Skysports clockwatch: 11.30 Gianluca Vialli has been the subject of a surprise gamble today to succeed Alan Shearer as Newcastle manager. Sky Bet received a flurry of requests for odds on the Italian taking over at St James' Park and he is now 4/1 second favourite behind Shearer (2/7) to lead the Magpies into the Championship next month. Sky Bet's Helen Jacob said: "This morning, out of the blue, we had a dozen requests for Vialli for Newcastle manager. We didn't even have him in the betting so quoted 12/1, which was snapped up and he is now down to 4/1 second favourite behind Alan Shearer. We'll be keeping a close eye on this market today. "Rumours abound that Vialli may be installed as Director of Football alongside Shearer as manager but punters have been quick to back Vialli for the main job. He's been out of the game for seven years so it would seem to be an odd appointment but you never know the way things are with Newcastle at the moment." ;D

Yeah, to a Hong Kong based consortium! Apparently they will install Vialli as DoF and Shearer as manager.
