At the bookies

[dave.woodhall]

Skybet odds on Martin to be next manager to leave have gone from 14/1 to 4/5 in the past two hours.

Draw your own conclusions.

Nice.

I had a tenner at 25/1 a few weeks ago.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Is it because were selling Milner behind his back?

[PaulTheVillan]

Maybe we're selling Ashley Young behind his back

[London Villan]

Maybe we are selling Milner and Young because of MON?

[Monty]

Bookies make all sort of irrational reactions. Based on the Twitter from what probably isn't Stephen Ireland's actual account some of them made Manchester United 6/4 favourites to sign him. There is a bollocks article someone's quoted on the transfer thread about MON leaving which the bookies could be basing this on, but apart from that there is less than zero evidence.

Unless the deed is already done?

[Chico Hamilton III]

I'll stick a fiver on it.

Each way

Victor Chandler seem to have suspended betting on MON as far as I can tell.

[Risso]

To be fair, the odds also nosedived after that stupid Talksport Twitter announcement.

I was told that betting has been suspended at Ladbrokes too.

Bookies are very jumpy these days. They're very wary of people getting rumours from the internet that turn out to be true and taking them to the cleaners. Therefore, there's a possibility that they might not discriminate between the reputability of different rumours as perhaps we fans should and indeed do.

Skybet had it spot on about Dunne joining us from about June onwards last year too...

Two fairly well respected bookmaking chains have stopped taking bets though. We are not talking about attention seeking bookmakers like Paddy Power

We will see. For now, we most remember the reaction following the Talksport Twitter nonsense, the Ireland Twitter nonsense, and so on. Until I see that rolling yellow band on SSN saying MON's gone I'll assume nothing.
