Would you be happy with Ole Gunnar Solskjær? Now with added poll.

[Chris Jameson]

I'm more certain than ever about Dowie now.

[pauliewalnuts]

Yeah you're correct. Absolutely no ITKs have been on here. No one on here has been mentioning MM or TheTrees or Tim Abraham or Gazton or Kendrick.

Tim Abraham and Kendrick are journalists. it is their job to talk about these things.

TheTrees, MM and Gazton all post on VillaTalk exclusively, not on here.

So you might want to do a bit of research before losing your rag about it.

And with regards to the last three many people have been talk ing about them on here. Hence my complaint that all these ITKs are chatting shite. Plus there have been more on here quoting from twitter and other places or claiming to be ITK themselves. I truly can't be arsed looking for them.

So, we're all mentals for talking about them (incidentally, I have never heard this Gazton character even mentioned on here)

Put your knickers back on and calm the fuck down, you're making yourself look a knob.

I never said you were mental for talking about it. Just that these ITK clearly know nothing.

Very classy last line from you there. I better heed what you say in case your retorts become even more mature.

Oh, it's just that you were banging on about people on here claiming to be ITK, and named three people who never actually post on here, and two journalists.

If you want to lash out at someone, go over to VillaTalk where you'll find the three posters you mentioned, rather than coming on here and ranting at people.

Quite why the general assumption is footballers and managers will move without a second thought for their families is beyond me.

Erm, because they stand to make millions of pounds from it?

[PeterWithesShin]

I wonder if my Sam Allardyce ITK still has legs?

OGS gone from 28/1 to 3/1 with Skybet

Out to 5/1 now. They, like us, haven't got a clue.

If nothing else, the Board should be applauded for keeping the bookies guessing!

anyone get 28/1 tonight

no got 33/1 (£10) just thought it was worth a punt on sky bet, but lets face it its a bit of a  long shot,

You are correct, there was definitely one person claiming ITK on here, but he was roundly rubbished days back.

So? Most of them are already loaded. Do you really think Ole and his family are short of a quid?
And even if they aren't loaded there is more to life than money you know. I'd put my family ahead of £ every single second of my life.

Do you really think Ole and his family are short of a quid?

Family reasons sounds strange, though.

Surely they'd have been there the whole time and not just surfaced after a meal with Rokke?

Pleased you see it like this as well.

How long would you expect your wife and 3 kids would take to make the decision to move to another country?

I guess like all of us He knows his wife and his kids views very well. So why did he come over last week when he knew where the job was? Why did he string us along after that for 4/5 days? And if it was family he didn't need a dinner meeting with Rokke to make that decision. And this another country is not so strange. This is where the kids have lived mst of their life. They were probably born here.

Again, I know a few people who were offered jobs abroad and even went for interviews but turned them down after their families decided they didn't want to move. They went for the interview so as they had the option as to what to do with their lives. They then spent X amount of time talking to their families abut what they wanted. All of them took a lot longer than 4 or 5 days to come to their decisions. Including the folks I know who did move abroad.
Quite why the general assumption is footballers and managers will move without a second thought for their families is beyond me.

And now they are in their home country, with their family and a much nicer lifestyle than they'd have in Brum. It's not really a stretch of the imagination to assume they'd like to stay there now.

High achieving hungry men are totally focussed and obsessive about these things. There is nothing wrong with him "putting his family first" but that is not the man we wanted. OK let's stay disagreed on this.

There's no "they" involved.

The prices are just reflecting the money that's being punted. The bookies aren't sat there at 11 o'clock at night adjusting odds. If the odds are changing, it is because people are throwing money at it, and in a small market, it doesn't take much money to bring about a big change of odds.

I blame dodgy programming of betting software myself.

[Greg N'Ash]

heh.  there is so many awful options possible with this board but BigSam would take some topping

[dave.woodhall]

Well, if he signed up for the GM club he'd see exactly who it was that' sure OGS was coming. And I'm sure there'll be a few GM's asking for their money back after all the ITK bullshit spouted which has only come from Kendrick anyway. Let's not get all hoity toity about other people's opinions, eh?

So it's fine for someone to come on here slagging us off, but we're not allowed to point out that he was wrong?

[PeterWithesShin]

It's probably John sticking his tenner on that's caused the odds to tumble.

We're front end only. We blame the back end people on a daily basis, so I'd tend to agree with you. It usually is their fault, too.

[john e]

maybe just maybe OGS knows we are talking to others,
 he wants the job but knows who the other candidates are, he also thinks that one of the candidates is hot favourite with Randy and feels he cant compete,
 so has pulled out gracefully so not to upset the apple cart further at Molde

[damon loves JT]

Greg, don't take this the wrong way, but fuck off.
