Coral Suspend Betting on Jol to get the Sack

By Sam Jenkins

Coral has suspended betting on the next Premiership manager to leave his job after taking a series of big bets on Martin Jol in quick succession.

"The pattern of bets was unusual in a number of ways including the size of the bets, the source of them and their timing.

"There are also rumours circulating about the subject but these could be something or nothing so we have decided to suspend betting until the dust settles," said Simon Clare, Coral spokesman.

The betting has sent the alarm bells ringing. Sources claim that one individual bet an amount believed to be in the region on £20,000.00. These large bets placed in quick succession have scared the bookmakers as it's likely that the unnamed individuals making the bet has some inside knowledge.

Other bookmakers have left the bet open.
