tisspahars Posted 15 March, 2018 Posted 15 March, 2018 The Betfair market is only settled if a manager completes 10 games in charge which means you have the bizarre situation where you can currently back Mark Hughes to be next Saints manager at around 4/6 despite the fact that he already is! Working out if that is a good or bad price is a particularly salty problem imo. I think we can be pretty sure he will complete 8 games but you then have to factor in the likelihood of whether we stay up or not and whether that makes him more likely to stay or not. For an odds addict like me it is, as I say, a fascinating one.
shurlock Posted 15 March, 2018 Posted 15 March, 2018 Does it include cup games? In which case if we beat Wigan, he'll have managed for 10 games (8 league games + 2 cup games) even if he gets the boot at the end of the season.

beatlesaint Posted 15 March, 2018 Posted 15 March, 2018 No, league games only. Bet Victor have paid out on him within 5 mins of the announcement. Gotta watch some of these bookies, a bet that’s not particularly fair !
saintmatt Posted 15 March, 2018 Posted 15 March, 2018 I’ve been trying to work out why they’ve not paid out today but doesn’t the below suggest the 10 game rule only applied for ‘interim’, ‘temporary’ or ‘caretaker’ managers? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
tisspahars Posted 15 March, 2018 Author Posted 15 March, 2018 No it means they don't settle on someone described as interim manager unless he completes 10 games, but also the same for someone described as permanent.

Is that captured in the rules elsewhere then? I can’t see how someone described as permanent falls within para 1 or 2 of my screenshot Sorry if being thick.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
egg Posted 16 March, 2018 Posted 16 March, 2018 So what happened with C Palace and de Boer? He wasn't described as interim, caretaker or temporary so they'd have paid out despite him getting the boot after 4 games. The issue is when someone described as an interim, caretaker or temporary boss manages for less than 10 league games.
Weston Super Saint Posted 16 March, 2018 Posted 16 March, 2018 Is that captured in the rules elsewhere then? I can’t see how someone described as permanent falls within para 1 or 2 of my screenshot Sorry if being thick.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk He's not being described as permanent but 'until the end of the season' which is covered in brackets in para's 1 & 2 : http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43403577 Also para 4 relies on official info from the club : https://southamptonfc.com/news/2018-03-14/announcement-mark-hughes-new-southampton-manager

I hadn't appreciated we'd only put him on a short term deal
