Manager for next season

[pauliewalnuts]

That list tells you the bookies are clueless.

They'll surely just be reacting to the bets being placed, and general speculation.

Miniscule market, not much punted, doesn't take huge amounts for the prices to move around. They were really volatile last time we were looking for a manager, too.

Yep. In the week Garde was appointed, I worked out that I could have stuck £20 on me being next manager and I'd have gone straight into the top ten favourites.

I had a tip on Garde so early only one bookie showed a price for him on oddschecker, stuck 20 notes on at 20/1, five minutes later I decided to go back and put more on, and he'd come in to favourite already! (Mind you, could have been others with the tip)

I had a similar experience Paulie. The odds moved enough to get into the backing and lay market – I had it so I'd win whether he was appointed or not.

Of the ones in contention or even casually mentioned

The only two that would have me really struggling would be Bruce or Pulis, I know they are both in jobs and I hope they both stay where they are

I could live with it being Bruce. Pulis would be horrible.

Dear God no.

God almighty I hope that's not true.

Aston Villa manager? That's a Sunderland/Norwich appointment.

Benni McCarthy?

Hope it's just a twatter thing. There's a reason he's got nul points on our poll

[Toronto Villa]

Melissa McCarthy?

[ozzjim]

It'd come from some obscure journo venturing compensation is agreed.  I would much prefer bruce.  Even Pearson.

[Toronto Villa]

If it is true why has it come from an obscure journo? Just asking like...

And you'd have thought the King of Twitter Stan V Collymore would be clued in to all Twitter links. I assume him to be like Professor Charles Xavier, mentally logged into all Twitter posts.
