flamingsombrero Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Don't think Ranieri is the man for us, although he isn't the walking disaster area people are making him out to be either. Wilkins as a number 2 on the other hand is something that would interest me greatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onje_villa Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I think we all need to agree on our new first choice. For all we know, the board are on VT gauging the fans' reaction. The only candidate we know we went after was Ole and he was obviously the N°1 choice in this forum. Let's just hope they don't do a word count and end up with McCarthy...

Craigy1874 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Personally i'd like Ally McCoist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Not that I think there's anything in this but Ranieri's odds have moved in quite a bit today, no doubt because of the interest from West Brom. Well you obviously do think there's something in it, otherwise you wouldn't have mentioned it. People don't seem to understand how bookmakers odds work and how they fluctuate by the day. Nothing in it.I really don't think there's anything in it but since there's absolutely nothing else going on what else is there to talk about? I know how they work. However, when odds on somebody drop suddenly it does make you think that somebody knows something. Remember OGS's odds dropping? They dropped because everyone on here knew Randy had flown to Norway and thus were putting bets on him. We all knew something. Not that I think that's the case with Ranieri, but it's still interesting to monitor odds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the odds drop, if there's nothing in it then after a while the odds go back up. Just look at GMac, Grayson etc. for examples of this. Rafa's odds have been decreasing for around 24 hours now and show no sign of going back up. If they are still low tonight I would suggest there's something in it.

Coops_AVFC Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Everyone still chasing their tails today then. I've no clues myself but i'm pretty sure we're not going to hear anything until next at least. So get outside and enjoy the sun people and come back when something concrete happens...or MM drops a massssssive hint, that'd be nice to be fair.

Not that I think that's the case with Ranieri, but it's still interesting to monitor odds. Each to their own. I don't monitor the odds really. The only time where odds have significance is when the favourite's odds are say 1/10, which i believe Solskjær was at one stage. That had 'significance' because of the endless rumours circulating by the hour. But if you take our two current favourites for the post right now with the bookies....Benitez & Lambert. There has been nothing to indicate they are even in line for the job. Ok, it is good to speculate, but don't go reading too much into Ranieri's odds dropping or Benitez being favourite off the back end of some half-hearted twitter rumours.

I think they go back up when another new name crops up and comes in, in the absence of any new names, it just stays static. The only question I'd like answered now, is roughly when will we have a new manager?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted May 25, 2012 Moderator Share Posted May 25, 2012 If we remove the 'big 3' for the purpose of finding a new list, I'd say these 4 in this order of preference, though I'll admit to only having a very basic knowledge of how Paciencia goes about his work. Ranieri Paciencia di Canio Poyet This also assumes Moyes & AVB are non-starters. They'd be above those 4 if they were a remote possibility.

catanzaro Posted May 25, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted May 25, 2012 I know Rogers turned down being part of the Liverpool process; but why do we think he's not interested in us, he doesn't really get a mention here? He may think our situation is far more appealing after following AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Di Canio would add a bit of spice at Villa, and Villa could do with a bit of spice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
