Only success he has was at molde when he rejected us Wasn't comparing them like that mate. Wagner definitely seems more suited to the job but the situations seem similar to me. Not many people has considered him but it just seems to have snowballed and everyone (me included) are quite excited by the idea of someone they don't know a lot about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody hell. Haven't heard that for a very long time. And actually it was probably on BRMB last time I heard it. On topic.... Pearson, Allardyace, Sherwood, Bruce Please, just kill me now.

Now I know this market can be moved easily but RDM, Garde and Sherwood were all the only manager's that becomes odds on before being appointed. That said OGS become odds on before we appointed Lambert. I want Wagner! Solskjaer was 1/33 Just saying. Ignore that.

Then when Vagner Love scores goals, Wagner will love Vagner Love and in turn we will love Wagner and Vagner Love. Or if it all goes tits up they'll be a pair of V/Wagner's! Hope he scores loads of headers so we can sing "Love is in the air" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds like this are moved purely on what is being lumped on, computer assisted to ensure the bookie always wins...lower the odds on popular markets to ensure the payout doesn't exceed the total takings/etc. I know this has all been said before, but most of the time this is all it is and people lump on pure speculation. Twatter rumours fuel customers and odds change / etc. Rarely is there any privy info with the bookies, sometimes punters get lucky and there is the possibility that odds are moving because punters got a lucky tip off but that is unusual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post NurembergVillan Posted October 4, 2016 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2016 It's almost as if one of the main news outlets for speculation on this market ALSO owns a bookies who they reference when reporting the speculation. In my eyes, morally reprehensible. I can't help but admire the brass-necked genius of it, though. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Midfielder Posted October 4, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2016 Whoever we get, we could be hours away from an announcement. Could be close. I've watched this site for years, joined this summer. But considering how many managers we have had, and the time I have spent reading posts of our managers and especially transfer windows too, that I hope this coming era brings success. I know we all hope that but I'll go to sleep soon... I'll probably wake up, check refreshed BBC gossip page, check the mail, come here and throughout the day. After appointing the manager I'll have a scan, see the reaction... See the Welcome new manager posts. The new era begins. I have so much hope for us to progress, Phoenix from the flames all that stuff, especially after the last few weeks and well, the last few years that I hope we get someone who turns out to be a long termed, our own Eddie Howe. I personally think we can do better than Bruce, whether that's Wagner or maybe someone who hasn't been linked yet, a surprise candidate that gets us all excited. If it is Bruce or someone similar so be it. I'll back them and I hope they get a good crack of the whip. Thanks Tony for the money spent and no doubt what you'll give to the new guy in January. My pride in the club has been severely tested in the last few years but this brand inelasticity is the beauty of football. Our family. Our loyalty. I'll always love the Villa, sometimes the last thought on my mind before I sleep, the first when I wake up. Like a kid waiting for Christmas this is. Come on Santa Xia, let's get it right this time. Make us proud. Night all. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) Really hope we get Bruce. Of all the names mentioned he fits the bill perfectly. Wagner would be a huge risk and will end in tears IMO. Edited October 4, 2016 by jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 We really need to make a decision sooner rather than later so that a new boss has some time to prepare for the next game and to look at the players he has at his disposal. The international break gave us some time but not all of the time in the world to choose a new manager. Those charged with making the decision need to get together to reduce the list of 10 (if that is how high the number of candidates are ) down to around 3 tomorrow. They then need to find out who of them is interested in the job and decide who their first choice is. The decision for me needs to be based on who will be most likely to hit the ground running, get a squad that others have brought into the club winning games and looking at the top 6 rather than the bottom 6, Lets not hang around lets get a new manager appointed by this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
