09/07/2008 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - West Ham has confirmed that Slaven Bilic, Gianfranco Zola, Roberto Donadoni and Michael Laudrup are all on the shortlist to replace Alan Curbishley as the manager at Upton Park.
Hammers Director Mike Lee has revealed that Zola and Donadoni have already been interviewed for the post while Laudrup will have his chance to impress on Monday. However, the Hammers have not been given permission to speak to current Croatia boss Bilic.
"There's no favorite at the moment but we've set up a proper selection process," Lee told the BBC. "We've been surprised and pleased by the number of applications we've had and we're moving towards a short shortlist and ideally have a manager in place in time for the West Brom match next week.
"Slaven Bilic could potentially be on that shortlist but it depends very much upon his availability. If for whatever reason he was not available until January in terms of working with us I'm afraid that will rule him out.
"We have a very strong shortlist and it's going to be a tough decision with some exciting candidates. From the meetings that have taken place so far, the two that have really shone have been Donadoni and Zola."
Lee has also said that the club will not be appointing Gerard Houllier, John Collins or former Ajax boss Martin Olsen.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:
| Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame) Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma) Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State) Michael Bush (RB, Louisville) Steve Slaton (RB, West Virginia) Brian Brohm (QB, Louisville) Chris Leak (QB, Florida) Mike Hart (RB, Michigan) Ted Ginn (WR, Ohio State) Darius Walker (RB, Notre Dame) Drew Tate (QB, Iowa) Marshawn Lynch (RB, Cal) Kenny Irons (RB, Auburn) Chad Henne (QB, Michigan) Kyle Wright (QB, Miami) Drew Stanton (QB, Michigan State) Kenneth Darby (RB, Alabama) JaMarcus Russell (QB, LSU) Drew Weatherford (QB, Florida State) Blake Mitchell (QB, South Carolina) Reggie Ball (QB, Georgia Tech) |
