30 odd pages since I read this thread, is it worth reading or same old rubbish?

There is one really worthwhile post, sheds a whole lot light on this situation but I can't remember which page it's on. Better get comfy and read the lot. It'll be worth it trust me.

Because the money has gone on him and the press reports have him as a shoo in

See above - I would expect any manager we appoint therefore to be 1/8 for a week or more prior to appointment.

The odds are so big at present as to make it clear to me nothing is happening

Cannot believe we haven't made an appointment yet. Mediocrity from Kenwright rolling over into the new regime it appears. Every day that passes by is a lost day in terms of missing out on transfer targets. If it was an out-of-contract manager (Pellegrini) it'd be sorted now, so he can't be it. Koeman appears to have pledged his immediate future to Southampton, so he's out. Mourihno and Simeone are out of our league (sad but true), and Emery will possibly go to Atletico if Simeone heads off to Inter. Does that leave us with Mancini? Are we sniffing around ready to pick up whoever is left over once the managerial merry go round is over? Seriously can't believe how long it's taking. Questions need to be asked.

If we had appointed somebody immediately people would have said we were showing no ambition and we should be exploring ALL possibilities before rushing into things.
It APPEARS that we ARE looking at all the possibilities.
This is quite possibly the most important decision that the club have had to make in years. It is imperative that we get this right.
Making a quick decision based on whatever candidates happened to be immediately available ? Now that really would have shown the mediocrity rolling over.
Whoever we appoint It will be because they were the best that we could attract NOT just because they were available, wanted the job and were an easy option.

Ok but even the villa market has a clear odds on favourite: RDM at 1/7. React to the market yes but even then if something is imminent those in the know tend to pile in. I would expect the eventual manager to be 1/8 for at least a week prior to appointment

Bookies are risk managers. They just react to the money being placed to protect their exposure. They don't know what's going on. It's very, very simple.

I agree but with agents lawyers etc at work I would expect any appointment to be 1/8 for at least a week prior to appointment

True. We must hope he does his decision before Euro2016 though

Although I don't think there is any interest in mancini him being in America doesn't mean the mole fella is wrong.

At this time without agreeing any compensation we would not have met him officially one to one anyway we would have met representatives. Same with any employed manager.

Not worried yet. Hope to have the new manager in before the start of Euro 2016. Think with Everton taking the time in making an appointment indicates we're aiming high. If we wanted someone like Moyes it would have been done within a week.

Oh dear it looks like our mole has just had a spade smash him in the grid

@themole10

He over played his hand the other day we believe. Been waiting to see what might happen.

Why? What have agents and lawyers got to do with bookies?

Mate I've watched manager markets before. The eventual managers ALWAYS go massively odds on a week or 2 prior to appointment

So by your reckoning we won't have a manager next week then?

 

[paultheblue]

I am sure he will mate

Who overplayed his hand?
