  PADDY POWER has reopened its betting on the next England manager following EnglandÂ’s Euro 2008 qualifying struggles. And itÂ’s expected the same names that were in the frame for the England hotseat after ErikssonÂ’s summer exit will be in the running once again.
  
  Guus Hiddink is the 5/1 favourite ahead of Phil Scolari and Martin OÂ’Neill at 8/1. ItalyÂ’s World Cup winning coach Marcelo Lippi, known to be learning English, is also in the running at 14/1 whilst a fellow employment seeker Tony blair is less likely at 1000/1.
  
  Former contenders Alan Curbishely and Stuart Pearce have quickly dropped away after indifferent seasons domestically at 16/1 and 20/1 whilst itÂ’s 100/1 for a return by Sven.
  
  Darren Haines, spokesman for Paddy Power, said: “We never expected to be re-introducing this market so soon. "But the first people to know the fans opinions in the pub are very often the bookies and this is something they are asking us to bet on.
  
  “It seems England fans are already looking at a life beyond Steve McClaren.”
