2019/20 Marco Silva

Met Alan Myers a couple of times , was sound to me also enjoyed his recent podcast episodes with former players.

Admittedly I found it a little odd he just left the club twice particularly his last time here. I remember he got some stick the deadline day we signed Lukaku, Barry, McCarthy.
 

The reliability and credibility of Alan Myers in a nutshell.

Posted this piece on Sky Sports News 11th October 2019 - https://www.skysports.com/football/...ans-to-sack-manager-marco-silva-at-this-stage



Lower down in the same article he writes this:



In other words he didn't actually have a clue and was just making it up and speculating but posted the headline as a factual 'in the know' statement. This dishonest reporting of his went viral and was rinse and repeated by practically every news source and social media and within a few hours was taken as fact even by many Evertonians, many of whom still follow him and take what he says as fact from an in the know without ever checking the reliability of the information for themselves.

Mind boggling.

I don't have much time for Myers but I don't read those two passages above as you do.

In the first he's presumably speaking from sources (or pretending to) but there's a difference between that and anything official or on the record.
 

Amazing how little people understand about bookies odds. It's the money that makes them shorten, and manager odds have relatively tiny stakes placed on them. It doesn't take much to change the prices - something like a widespread Internet rumour maybe.

If only £1,000 has been placed on Silva being sacked in the last 24 hours, then suddenly £10,000 gets placed, the bookies will dramatically shorten the odds or close the market entirely. Otherwise, they are unable to secure their profit.
