0% Villa: Benitez sacked (Confirmed p.6)

[boboonthecorner]

I think O'Neill will be higher up their list than Hodgson. I'm hoping so, anyway

Yes, then we'd have an anxious summer to find not only a new manager, but possibly a replacement for Milner. Well thought out.

or on the other hand, appoint a manager like Hodgson ASAP, and have 30 mill to spend on putting a footballing midfield together

I'm quite tempted to agree with you here, be great to see some fresh ideas!!

Dalglish the favourite, followed by O'Neill.

all depends where you go -

Skybet - MON 6/4     DAL- 5/2

W Hills - MON - 9/4     DAL - 3/1

Ladbrokes - MON 9/4     DAL 9/4

Dalglish the favourite, followed by O'Neill.

I don't see it, Dalglish is one of the two people at Liverpool with the task of finding a new manager. Surely they'd have asked him first if he wanted the job?

Dalglish: "After a long worldwide search, we've found the right man. Me".

Not sure what's what, Mark.  Sky reporting O'Neill was the favourite but there's been a massive rush for bets being put on Dalglish.*


*I don't understand gambling termanology.

only paddy power has Dalgliesh favourite at 9/4 with MON at 5/2,
so not a lot in it so far

Dalgleish being in the betting could be the bookies covering themselves in case he's made Manager on a temporary basis until the end of the World Cup.

1st text joke -

Raffa Benittez said he feels great to be a true scouser now he has no job,

[TopDeck113]

I'm bored with this already.  MON will not be the next Liverpool manager: they'll want it to be someone with proven CL/international pedigree and/or a Liverpool connection.

Dalglish as an interim manager is a possibility; the long term successor I reckon will be a younger foreign manager - someone like Frank Rijkaard or Jurgen Klinsman.

That doesn't sound unlike HDE's extensive search for a Director of Football/ General Manager back in 1998.

Dalgleish being in the betting could be the bookies covering themselves in case he's made Manager on a temporary basis until the end of the World Cup.

They usually state that betting is for, 'Next Permanent Manager'. There will be lots of money going on Dalglish because he returned to work for the club this year, he may well become a caretaker manager until a takeover goes through, but I doubt he will be permanent.
The bookies cover their backs with low odds at the same time as coining in a bit of cash from people who don't realise it's permanent or bet with their hearts.

I seem to remember Nial Quinn doing that at Sunderland.

[PaulWinch again]

Bloody hell, I wanted him to continue in that role.

[sfx412]

Roy Keane perhaps?

Darren Gough plays cricket I find his opinions on football as valid as Alan Shearer's ones on cricket.

They really are linked with some hopeless cases who haven't been in club management in donkeys years. I might put my name in but I don't think I could do as excellent job of messing them up as Rafa has.

Truthfully, I might be inclined to bet on Pellegrini.

You have to factor in that he is a good deal less intelligent than Shearer as well. Thick doesn't quite do it justice which is why he is on prime time Talk Sport so his provocative twattish comments can net the largest quota of fellow thickies to text and ring in...

[eastie]

Let mon go to Liverpool and we can get klinsmann or rijkaerd-tin hat going on now!
