I mean, according to all reports the interviewing has not even started yet. Not all ''favourites'' win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I think (hope) if it wasn't going to be Bruce he would've been announced by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam3773 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I don't think we should read too much into the time taken. Tony seems like the kind of owner who would be hands on and want to meet any potential candidates. If reports that Tony isn't about until next week are true, it could still be Bruce who impresses him most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be a very good appointment but I don't think I would use the word exciting when it comes to Sean Dyche. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems some where in the middle of Bruce's dull but reassuring and Wagner's exciting yet risky. Excites may have been strong. He's not a one night stand, yet I'm not gonna marry him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 53 minutes ago, imavillan said: in the managerial market it does not take much money for odds to be slashed as not that many people have a bet on it because its largely down to guess work if 3/4 of us from VT went and put £20 each on say, Dean Smith, at Corals (current odds 10/1) the odds will be slashed in half. Its a notoriously volatile market, look at Swansea, manager gone new one in. One that was not on anybodies radar. I would not take any notice of the managerial betting market. look here and you will see some firms still quoting a price on Neil Warnock It is the other way around. It is a volatile market because it is potentially not down to guess work. Most betting comes down to guess work because (in theory) no one can know the result of a match, it is a guess work all round. The bookies price in their odds and take home a good amount of money no matter the result. With a manager appointment, at some point someone is going to know the result before the bookies do, thus taking the guess work out of it. To cover themselves bookmakers give crap odds, adjust the odds dramatically anytime they get a bet in, restrict the maximum amount that can be bet and suspend betting anytime a decent volume of bets come in on one person. It makes for a much more volatile market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guyavfc Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 You can still get Bruce as next Villa manager at 1/2 or greater on Skybet, betvic, coral, 888, net bet and Bwin. Wouldn't pay too much attention to the others suspending betting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Bruce has never had proper owner who has backed him..am I right? Hopefully he hits the ground running. I just want someone in asap.. we need a new manager before the next match.. ideally by Monday. We can't afford to drop more points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I think we should keep this thread open regardless of whoever is the next manager. Our manager turnover post MON is ridiculous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
