BRYAN ROBSON has been backed from 100-1 to 8-1 to become next manager of Blackburn Rovers.

"All of a sudden we found ourselves laying 100-1, including £200 at that price. We've since gone 50-1, 25-1 and 12-1 but still there is interest," said Balthazar Fabricius of bookmakers Ladbrokes.

"This move is intriguing purely because of how quickly the money has been put down."
