[Milkman]

Skybet and Ladbrokes down to 16-1 on Megson being our next manager. Must've been a little flurry of bets this afternoon.

Neither an A list guy nor an up and comer...next.

Diego Simeone is the one I want. I have no idea who we'll actually get.

We could go with a whole new approach, kinda like the NFL, get a coach for each position. I won't rest till I see all these fellas in the technical area with steve round headsets and tony Pulis caps!

Wouldnt mind Felix Megadeth or Ralf Ragnarok..


seriously, though ...

Roberto Di Matteo odds are slashed to 12/1

Ralf was in the new this week for turning down Vardy 2 seasons ago for him being too old....

Apparently he only wants to sign players under 24... wait there, sure i have heard that banded about on here.

Likes em young does arl Ralf.


EDIT

"In the plane, the agent said to me 'Mr Rangnick, it's a crying shame that you are so radical about who you sign and only go for players who are under 24 because I've got somebody who would be just perfect for you. I can guarantee he would become a national team player under you, but he's already 27'.

"It was Jamie Vardy."

Rangnick recalled himself replying: "No, he's 27 - we're not doing it."

Why would odds drop like that? I don't really get the market. No rumours or anything about AVB?

....the bookie 'makes a book' (Bookmaker) and adjusts odds against his liability. Basically, the odds will lessen because he's taking wagers and will lose money on that particular candidate. To be fair, in a market like this it probably doesn't take much money to have an impact. The thing with AVB odds is that they have shortened with a couple of bookmakers suggesting punters are chasing the best odds.

No avb he's won jack all in this league.

The thing about the market for us, and what is actually rather odd in next manager markets.. is that we could do a double whammy and announce the sacking AND the new appointment at the same time.
The usual forming of a proper market may not actually happen this time IMO.

Really?
And there was me waiting with baited breath for the announcement

Hahahaha.

If we employ Roberto Di Matteo I'm completely done with Everton.

He's below abject, I'd rather give Martinez a new contract.

 

[Thomasc]

No avb he's won jack all in this league.

hmmm if we are going on that as a pre-requisite that really leaves about 6 names, Ferguson who has retired, Wenger, Kenny Dog Leash, Mancini, Pelligrini and Ancelotti......wouldn't mind 3 of them actually!

 

[AndyZ]

I'd like Mourinho but voted Pellegrini as it's a tad more realistic.
