Kompany tipped to win ‘Royal Rumble of Prem managers’ – with Hodgson out first

Admit it, you've thought about it, who would win in a WWE-style Royal Rumble involving, exclusively, Premier League managers?

Well, wonder no further, as SportsLens.com have compiled a list of odds for the Prem manager most likely to pointing to the Wrestlemania sign. And, unsurprisingly, it's not good news for 75-year-old Roy Hodgson – who, at 500/1, is ranked at the bottom of the list.

At least Hodgson can take some solace in the fact that he's been given considerably shorter odds than Leicester City were infamously handed during the 2015/16 season. Stranger things have happened, Roy.

So, who's the favourite? Burnley's Vincent Kompany and Luton Town boss Rob Edwards, both set to take charge of their first Premier League fixture next weekend, are the bookies' favourites – coming in at 7/1.

"Sean Dyche is another manager who wouldn’t look out of place in a wrestling ring and I reckon he would fancy his chances of being the last man standing.

Tactics and triangles won't work in the squared circle for Man City supremo Pep Guardiola, his former protege turned Arsenal rival Mikel Arteta, and Manchester United's Erik ten Hag, who are all ranked at 25/1. While the towering Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp at 14/1 is somewhat of a favourite, with Everton manager Sean Dyche at 10/1.
