Do people just like arguing and winding people up for the sake of it on here.

Gobsmacking - is the world being used - as well as Meltdown.

What I am saying is Gobsmackingly bad could only mean MON or McLeish.

If we got Martinez I'd be fuming, if we got McLaren I'd be livid - but neither would "gobsmack" me - they would

In a good way, Pep , jose - which is silly - but then Ancelotti or Van Gaal would gobsmack me that we have pulled off the two coups of the year so far.

David Moyes - why would I be gobsmacked.
So why have you plucked six random names out of the air?

Wouldn't Ferguson, Wenger, O'Leary or Barry Fry meet you ridiculously narrow criteria?

Still, feel free to carry on.

A tenner it isn't. Not on every site, anyway.

Almost all bookies will suspend markets like this overnight. Skybet are one who tend to leave them running, though. Maybe Victor Chandler, too.

Woo-hoo! I'm owed a tenner!

He probably suspended the market just before you had your tenner on ;-)

What we really need right now is the people from a certain Sunday newspaper who have access to peoples voice mails etc. to come on here and put us all out of our misery. ;)

At this minute I'd prefer a certain Sunday newspaper to send me naughty pictures of where a certain lady shoved the head of Donny Dawg !  ;D

What odds Gareth SouthGate? Maybe I should post on twitter under a false name and start taking bets at 11-10?

As compensation was mentioned a few minutes ago, regardless of who the target may be, I'd like to remind those on here who are old enough what Tommy Docherty said after signing Bruce Rioch. He was asked when did he know Rioch was available? to which the Doc replied he wasn't available.  He was then asked what made him available? and in usual Doc style replied the money! That may not be exactly verbatim but you know what I mean and yes I remember what happened to us under Docherty.

How do you search for the managerial odds on Bet365?
