New Manager Gossip & Rumours

[sainttomski]

lol

[KK the 2nd]

Martin O'Neill evens now on skybet

 

Still 5/1 with Chandlers. Skybet just crash the odds as soon as they see a bet. Has generally been backed though ...

I think we can all agree it is highly unlikely it will be today.

[Under Weststand]

Probable announcement 11.23pm tonight. At least I will be home from work by then.

 

 

 

 

 

Or maybe not!

[B Rabbit]

Yes, 2 things.

 

1) Some idiot made up that a manager would be announced today, so lots of people are coming on here to check every 5 seconds.

 

I am an idiot =(

[buctootim]

Put £50 on WGS at 50-1 (had to ask for price as he was unquoted), still 40-1 this morning and now 14-1. Not ITK so I must just be damn smart lol.

[Appy]

Surprised Brentford's Andy Scott hasn't been mentioned, just as good credentials as Eddie Howe anyway.

[shirleysfc]

Jeff Kenna's odds have come right in... WTF!!!

Think it just shows that one bet can move the market.

there should be a law against bookies profiting from people's idiocy,betting on WGS, kenna,MLT and all that sort of candidate is just gifting them money. If it's burning a hole in your pocket give it to Unicef or something FFS.

Very smart if it comes in! Not if it does not.

WGS is not idiocy. Hes managed here before, popular here, hes uncomfortable at Middlesboro, lives locally, presumably attractive to Cortese given his history of managing Saints in prem - hes at 50-1 whilst MON is evens. um I wonder which the better bet is.

I am sure the bookies just shorten the odd's just so punters put money on. they are probably watching this site and laughing while the money roles in, and Saints hire a managr that is not even on the list! lol

keeping your money is the best bet

Again if Martin O Neil is our new manager then that bet would the better bet, but if WGS gets in then that would be the better bet. Does not mater what the odd's are it has to come in!

Odds From VCbet

[Crazy Diamond]

I'm currently stationed at a leading football magazine. (Sorry to add to the list of people who are supposedly ITK, but I am genuinely here).

 

From what we can gather, it's down to two names, Adkins being the first choice.

 

I've only got two posts left today as I don't have a full membership to the forum, so I'll use them wisely. There is doubt over the announcement being made today, I have been informed.

[thorpie the sinner]

Adkins back into favourite, O'Neil back out to 3's and 8's respectively. The Adkins move is beginning to roll!

[Channon's Sideburns]

Well if Adkins is first choice, my guess is him and Brown.

[K,Billy's supersound]

the next manager wont be MoN, Brown or Zola i'd bet on Adkins or Howe they are the young english managers in the frame most likley to get it atm.

[Chez]

I don't see a price for Andy Scott on that VC list.

[Appy]

People that think that its O'Neil are so deluded, fairly sure it will be Adkins or Howe.

 

Like i said i am surprised Scott hasn't got a mention.

[harefieldsaint]

No odd's for Guus either. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southampton_F.C.

[bigd316316]

Was messing around with Wikipedia last night..... interesting read!!!

 

[The Dogman Of Bassett]

Is there a bookies in Southampton taking bets on this?

Every one I have been to are not betting on it, would appear to be online only.

Who is Nigel Atkins?

Ladbrokes will usually quote for most things in the shop, or most bookies will take bets by phone.

interesting couple of tweets....

 

@JamesMawFFT :Alan Shearer or Nigel Adkins for the Southampton job. You heard it here first (unless you heard it somewhere else) (via @KitCox)

 

@FootballAgent46: @JamesMawFFT you're half right on the final two.

 

 

so the selection is down to two and one of the two is either Shearer or Adkins?

Well I don't reckon it's Shearer

[Crazy Diamond]

James Maw got that information from me by the way.

Saw that. Cant think of any way on earth NC would prefer Shearer to Adkins, hopefully. So between Adkins and someone else - possibly WGS imo.

[itchen_dan]

I reckon that it's Nigel Adkins & Phil Brown.

[bigd316316]

Who's Nigel Atkins?

 

lol..... Doh!!!

[saints-cris]

I would be underwhelmed by either in all honesty.

[Jones91]

Martin O'Nigel or Phil Howe

[ottery st mary]

MON would take the job without hesitation but stipulated our DOF be demoted to tea person...

 

Ethel the tea lady is not amused having a Director of Tea above her in our new management structure.

[shurlock]

Shearer fits with being young and english but doesn't have success on the CV.

[September Saint]

IF the two Premiership managers in the running are Ian Holloway & Sam Alladyce which (if any) do you want

[(not THE) Kevin Moore]

Was messing around with Wikipedia last night..... interesting read!!!

 

 

That is very interesting, clearly MON is lightyears ahead of the rest because his wins were (mostly) at a higher level, Howe is relatively new so not many games. Mowbray comes high up the list and I'm surprised he is not being widely discussed. He got WBA up playing some sublime footie the other year and is currently out of work. Looks the best of the 'realistic' candidates for me.

MON is ahead of all the others because he was Celtic manager and there are only 2 teams in the country.

 

 

 

 

Still a good manager though.

[bjk]

Goooooooodddddddddd why dont they just bloody appoint someone i cant spend all day on this forum.

[yorkiesaint]

Surely Brown has a fluke on his CV followed by a meltdown.

[Topcat]

(not THE) Kevin Moore, you left out Les Reed's record of 14% wins.

[egg]

It is not MoN or Adkins.

 

Have patience people, the familiar face will be unveiled soon.

[Saint_Ash]

Adkins - Skybet 8/11 Victor Chandler 4/6 Paddy Power 4/7

 

The 3 bookies that are only taking bets and all odds on.

 

Like a yo you these odds!

[buctootim]

I bloody hope so. Ive got £50 on him!

Markets like this one are almost always online only now because the bookies can control the price far easier and not get caught out by loads of people putting the same smallish bet on at the dame time at lots if different shops!!
