The betting odds are completely irrelevant right now. What are they speculating on, exactly? Kenwright's psychology?
There's a decent chance several agents have been sounded out over their clients' willingness but there's no chance any serious decisions have been made by the board.
It's a funny one for Kenwright. He's a sentimental shmuck at heart (what did he suggest for the King's Dock, something like "Goodison-by-the-waterside"?), so he probably wells up at the idea of a Duncan-Kendall-Southall-Sheedy dream team, but he'll be savvy enough to know (and so will Green et al) that the only way this little thirteen-year adventure of his can pay off (or pay out) is if he makes a very good choice. I imagine that will mean a measured, considered and slightly safe choice. Certainly nobody who has a significant failure on their CV like Hughes or O'Neill, nor anyone with zero experience (Neville, D.Ferguson).
Martinez, Laudrup, Clarke, Pereira - I don't think he'll be looking much further.
God I wish you´re right.
