Betting Odds/Managerial Market

[Bungle]

I don't think I ever remember a time where betting odds were used so heavily as an indicator for our next manager.

So so many of the shouts about who is nailed on for the job are based on odds that have shortened rapidly, and then moved away just as quickly. I think we all need to learn that using those odds as a serious indicator is futile.

It seems that they are also used as a substitute for common sense, I mean Simeone and Ancelotti have both been linked and whilst common sense suggests neither would touch the job, odds are used to suggest there might be something in it. Indeed the opposite applies, O'Neill and Unsworth are 2 of the current favourites, yet I don't think there's a chance either of those are getting it, yet whilst their odds are still short some will still think it's happening.

Please stop this madness, each time you quote Everton managerial odds we're going to be forced to make you listen to Phil Neville on a continuous loop for 48 hours.

AVB 6-1 on Skybet now.

AVB 6-1 on Skybet now.

I bet on him when at Skybet at 60/1 and tweeted about it asking what do people reckon and within an hour he was down to 8s.

Sorry about that everyone.

You mean to tell me all these poor people have burned their money by putting the likes of Allardyce and O'Neil into the favourite position?!

Shocked... and think they deserve it for being utter melts.

Thierry Henry available on Skybet at 33-1, worth a few quid isn't it lads?

No it absolutely is not you complete moron because it is never happening, just set fire to your money and then use it to set fire to yourself.

I've just chucked a fiver on Andrea Stramaccion at 66-1 though, worth a pun isn't it hahaha

Shut up.

As an experiment could you use your significant social media influence to tweet that you've had £2 on Glenn Hoddle at 80-1 and see where his odds stand in a couple of hours?

Oh look who it is having a go at the fans again whilst he sits in his piss sodden underpants salivating at the prospect of his second Rustlers burger of the day.

All your fault, and AVB is blaming you for losing the Chinese cup final.

Oh here we go, the shake has kicked in and he's got someone literate to write down one of his pointless rants for him again the utter buffoon.

Get back to the free weights and stop licking the real athletes sweat off the rowing machines seats.

..the odds are an indicator, they are not THE indicator. Whoever comes in will be backed, there’s no doubt about that. The bookies won’t offer big odds about somebody on the verge of appointment. The Silva odds are a reflection of genuine interest. I presume there has been talks with Allardyce. Sometimes the odds contract if an agent puts something out there.

Folk are getting excited about Simeone but he’s 50-1 with the bookies which is a good indicator.
