Derek McGovern’s Bets of the Day – Thursday, April 15
While at Chelsea Avram Grant finished second in the Premier League and runner-up in the Champions League yet was deemed a failure.
This season Pompey have had four owners, administration, a nine-point deduction and relegation, and Grant is hailed as a hero.
Everybody is pleading with Avram to stay at Fratton Park – that includes the players, the chairman, the administrators and the local massage parlours.
The Israeli is 4-6 to still be at Portsmouth next season – that should cheer him up.
Hills offer 7-2 for at least 19 of the current Premier League bosses to still be at their club at the start of next season. It’s just 8-1 for 12 or fewer.

How refreshing that for tonight’s TV political debate it’s the general public and not just privileged Westminster journalists who get the chance to hear their questions avoided.
