Betting odds don't matter but Koeman at 16/1 is worth a few quid I reckon.
AVB too. More out of hope than any basis.
Can't get a price on De Boer anywhere like.

What are the odds on Martinez still being with us next season?
Might have a flutter on that.

First off before anything else there is his ostrich rant. Enough said on that point.
Secondly, Ranieri has taken his squad and mounted a title challenge. Yes you could say credit Pearson for putting it together, but then there's also the question of how did he almost get a title winning squad relegated?
For me Ranieri is the genius and is getting very good, but not world class players, playing in a way that brings results. Pearson is an average manager who took a whole season to get very good players producing results.
Not for me. No one else in the league has touched him either.
4/1 SkyBet he's still in charge for the first game next season

4/1 last time I saw it
....De Boer is 14-1 with BetVictor. AVB is interesting, 40-1 with BetVictor and only 16s with Paddy Power. Pelligrini's odds have halved overnight, as low as 3-1 favourite now.
Not great odds, thought they would be at least 10/1
Just got 12's on De Boer with Betfair, whereas AVB AND Koeman were 25's. Suppose, like the board, we should take a look around before we jump into something too quickly.

Jorge Sampaoli has shot up since the last time I checked
And Rudi Garcia, Walter Mazzarri

The example you give though are of Betfair which is slightly different to a regular bookie, as it simplifies the bet and makes it more like an exchange.
Bookies operate in two ways. 1) They have stats guys who assess the probability of something happening. 2) They then fluctuate their odds to cover themselves. As long as they cover their losses with bets on the other side they are happy. Their profit margin lies in the differences of the pay out.
They would probably only look to suspend the market if they felt information was available that in instance 1 they were overlooked by. A managers race is different to a match, because people can have insider knowledge that isn't about stats and probability. That's more the cause of a suspension in this instance. Stop the market, assess whether the deal had been done, and only open if they know it is still an on race.
The collapsing odds on a manager will mean that members of the public are betting on them. When you see that you do have to ask why? It may be because there is something in it, or alternatively it may be a bit of a dead end rumour.
The current odds give us some idea, but only some idea. 2 months ago it looked completely unrealistic. There is some thought into this but you will only start to see a serious market if Martinez is confirmed to be moving.
The Sampaoli shout is an interesting one because he fits the profile of Bielsa quite closely and is out of work. It wouldn't surprise me if they had the same agent/contact point. Mazzari seems to be getting linked with a few jobs including Liverpool so wouldn't read too much into that.
Nice to see De Boer on the list now. I think Cocu would be higher than what he's being shown on the list though and surprised Alan Stubbs isn't more prominent.
