Punters bet on Fulham Premier League title win as club were 5,000-1 when they appointed ex-Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri
Fans are betting on Fulham to win the Premier League title after a strange twist of fate.The Cottagers sacked Slavisa Jokanovic on Wednesday morning, replacing him immediately with former Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri.2

New Fulham boss Claudio Ranieri

The Italian led the Foxes to their miracle title win in 2016, which was listed as a 5,000-1 shot before the season began.And as Ranieri was appointed Fulham boss most bookmakers had them at exactly the same price to do the same thing, in what would be even more miraculous circumstances given their league position.This has led to a flurry of bets on the outrageous outcome with86 per cent of all bets on a title win placed on the Cottagers, leading some bookies to slash their odds.2

Claudio Ranieri lifts the Premier League trophy as Leicester City boss.

Thats comfortably more than favourites Man City (4 per cent) and Liverpool (10 per cent), and money is set to continue to pouring in for Ranieri and his new side.Oddschecker spokesperson Callum Wilson said: Fulham are languishing at the bottom of the league and Ranieri has a mountain to climb to even drag his new team out of a relegation battle, let alone the insurmountable task of winning the title. “Although, many were left regretting their decision not to back Leicester at the same odds, so we’re sure to see some speculative punting on Fulham this time round.”
