To see the genuine markets you need to look at the lay odds as well as the bet odds eg on betfair.
As posted above, the sports news companies who also run books, like sky can manage the news and impact the bets accordingly.
If someone was saying, for example Moyes was evens to be manager, I'd check if he was near evens not to be manager to see if those odds were "genuine".

Alan Nixon on Twitter has said that one very serious candidate isn't even in the bookies' favourites.

Villas Boas?
Van Bronckhurst?
Howe?

Heard of three major names who think they have a chance ... bizarre.

I take it that's Moyes, Mick and another who think they have a chance when they don't?

Sam Allardyce?

If Mendez is involved and fonseca is his client.....

He is involved I suspect. But he's not one of his clients.

Oh I just read he was

And hasn't he already said he's not swapping CL football for The Championship?

Smoke and mirrors, mate, all smoke and mirrors...

Let's just sit back and enjoy the ride of speculation and when it's time our new manager will be announced in the not too distant future.

Please god, not another dour Scotsman.

I think I would really consider taking up rail timetable collecting or something if Moyes was given the job.

why is he claiming its bizarre that 3 major names think they have a chance? I mean if he's claiming he's got some inside hotline to the decisions makers and who they don't want, then why didn't they give him the Bruce sacking scoop?

I'd be honoured to take the job but mirrors is a prick, I haven't spoken to him in years.

Also rules out K.Mac judging by his demeanour at the press conference this morning.
I know he is disappointed his mates have gone (he said it) and I know it’s not his main job, but bloody hell, let’s try and show just a little bit of enthusiasm FFS.

Allardyce absolutely, McCarthy no thanks. Seeing Darren Moore pick up manager of the month after nearly keeping baggies up last year combined with Lampard producing the goods at derby has got me back to thinking a punt on one of the lads with little experience is as good an option as most. Arteta, Henry, Terry have all worked with the best in the world.
.
I was even thinking how good it would be to get in Arsene Wenger as technical director and Henry or Arteta as 1st team coach

The Arsenal love-in that would ensue if that were to happen would put Houllier's fawning over Liverpool to shame!!
