Interesting Pearson is only 5/1 at Betfair, but 20's and 25/1 at all the others. work pc internet filtering thingiemabob blocks out skybet, however it allows me access to www.thesackrace.com its quoting skybet at those figures. wagner is 9/4? i'm not gonna place a bet. just keen on seeing who's linked as i think we will move quickly on this. sometimes these lists are complete BS or very knowledgeable Edited October 4, 2016 by Midfielder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted October 4, 2016 Moderator Share Posted October 4, 2016 The best odds you'll get on Wagner at the moment are 7/2 with Coral (2nd favourite). Bruce is favourite at 6/4 (BetVictor). Smith on 7s with SkyBet and Clarke on 12s with BetVictor. Cotterill, Giggs and Allardyce next on 14, 16 & 16. That's all accordingg to Oddschecker.

Richard Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 Cotterill may just be one of those well at least we didnt appoint him suggestions to allow for the appointment of a manager we may not universally like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midfielder Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 hang on . it's got worse Bruce 6/5 Wagner 9/4 Smith 7/1 Sherwood 11/1 Clarke 11/1 Cotterill 12/1 Carver 12/1 Giggs 16/1 Who on earth is betting on Sherwood, Cotterill and Carver? This either proves that this is all BS and i should completely stop looking at odds list (and rely on Villa Talk) or.... that there are some real dumbasses out there backing these candidates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm, what? I know who Steve Bruce is and I think he's a good manager who will get us promoted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was simply making an observation on the swings and arrows of outrageous fortune, but if you cant see that I can't help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villastine Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I’ll be honest, I wanted McCarthy or Bruce in the summer. My view was either/or would get us promoted and we would then let him go. A bit of a Watford style approach. However, at this stage and with this squad I would now go for Wagner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy has only managed for 44 games unless we are counting his time managing Borussia Dortmunds B team. The one thing I will say for him though is that Huddersfield signed 13 players over the summer and he has quickly got them to gel something which Di Matteo failed to do after signing nine players. I just think his amount of games as a manager is such a small sample size and the margins are so tiny. Had Huddersfield lost a couple more games this season and were sitting 8th he wouldn’t even be in the discussion to be considered. He would be a huge gamble and not one I think we should, or need, to be taking at this time. Agree - there is no way a Manager can be judged on just 44 games ! .(no more I promise..) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dortmund II do actually play in the German professional league, so in that sense his time there is relevant and far more valuable in terms of experience than would be the case in England. It's like saying that managing in English League One doesn't count towards a manager's experience. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His stock is not as high as he makes out and failed to get a good derby team promoted. I doubt the fan base would be entirely behind him and it wouldn't take long for the fans to turn on him. We need a youngish progressive manager who can install an identity for the team. I'm not bothered by nationality, just want someone in that has an idea of what to do and how to achieve it! Won't be Bruce will it? Worth laying bruce now and backing when he goes out or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
