Betting Suspended On Brian Laws Taking Pools Job

Betting on the new Hartlepool United manager has been suspended after an influx of bets on former Scunthorpe boss Brian Laws.

Bookmakers SkyBet withdrew the betting market this afternoon after a number of new bets on Laws. The ex-Burnley gaffer had been 5/1 to take charge at Victoria Park before shortened dramatically to 1/5 overnight.

SkyBet said on Twitter: ''We've suspended betting on next Hartlepool boss after seeing numerous bets on Brian Laws.''

It is thought Laws was strongly considered for the position last year after the departure of Mick Wadsworth, although Pools opted for Neale Cooper instead on that occasion.
