Next Everton Manager

[tommye]

shortlist is:

1. Steve McClaren;
2. Nigel Pearson;
3. Ronnie Moore

Ronnie's been spotted in his local William Hills lashing a grand on Pearson.

Make of that what you will...

 

[Librarian]

Ancelotti

Can the mods change the 'Simeone' option to just 'someone' please?

Thanks xx

Someone who can actually get his head in the sand. Get him in.

It feels that by the time we work our way down our list of candidates, Koeman will be the best available manager.

 

[Lee Smith]

Looking at the graphs (and there is £1000 to lay at 2.5) someone expected the Martin O'Neill price point to bottom out 2.5. It didn't go as far as that, and people are beginning to lay it again. No one is currently tempted at this precise moment for 2.88 , for example.

If there is nothing in this but panic I would expect that price to be at least 4.5 after the embargoes. If it is sustained after this bounce, then we can all panic.

I jumped onto the exchange and tried to lay it at around 2.54, but as soon as I did the price kept creeping up so quickly and steadily that every time I edited what I was offering to get it matched, I kept missing out lolBack up to 3.0 last time I looked

Don't understand a word of that mate, not being a betting man.

Basically, not much money in the market, so anytime someone backs someone / anyone the price collapses, so big disparity between implied probability / actual probability.

I think here someone - and not necessarily from Everton directly - has asked Martin O'Neill's people about his general willingness if he was seriously approached.

It's the strange thing about football manager betting. The people who get the freshest info here are usually seriously wealthy people; are they going to fart around for £40 here, £50 here? I've never been convinced. Let's not forget that when it was on here early summer about Koeman before he was appointed, you could get 8/1 in loads of places for ages. It's just a weird market; it's been open five weeks and £170k TOTAL has been matched across all possible candidates, that's less than a single donkey class horse race at Dundalk tonight.

On a skiing holiday...

The last fella was on his jollies when we wanted him. We know how that ended.

 

[Hangleton]

Joachim Loew would be my choice.

so given the amount etc, the sneaky suspicion would be someone laid a lot at high odds, manipulated the market down because of that bet and hopes that he can now flog his bet on and make a nice little profit from a days work

Hmmm, not heard that name in a while but a Middlesbrough friend of mine didn't rate him too highly last time we'd spoke about the togger

I think he got the reputation of being too controlled.

Seems like a good attribute for us right now.

ETA 5 MORE WEEKS

I assume ETA stands for Everton Take Ages

Who d'you think is on this shortlist, mate...if one exists?

 

[Blues Harp]

At this stage I'd actually favour Aitor Karanka.

His organisation of Boro's defence was formidable. The feller was let down by a lack of cutting edge up front and that can be easily rectified here in January. Shipping goals is our downfall right now.

Available.
PL experience.
Short term appointment.

Dave ..just stop it... 2nd rate championship manager who created discord within his club ...mate who has an S/t at Boro' hates him.. But Silva is ours ...Ha Ha !!

Joachim Loew would be my choice.
