Sam Allardyce is one of the favourites for the Sunderland job: Action Images
West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce is one of the favourites for the Sunderland job after Gus Poyet was sacked.
Allardyce's contract is up this summer and he has been linked with a return to Sunderland where he had a spell as a player.
He is currently as short as 7/1 with Coral for the job but Paddy Power are offering 11/1. The clear favourite to replace Poyet is Dick Advocaat who is priced at 4/7 with Coral.
