This keeps changing every few minutes, an hour ago it was McCall.
 
Sincerely hope it's not either, what Utd need is stability, another David Moyes, a manager who will stay for a good few years and get us performing. I picked Moyes out when he was at Preston and knew then that he would become a great manager. Everton have punched above their weight for years thanks to Moyes. I feel the same way about Karl Robinson and think he would be a good fit for us.
 
Heaven forbid. Why oh why? Well there goes another fan. I won't be back til he's gone, he'll be another Robson!
 
More worrying that Appleton has appeared in the betting after Donny went for Dickov. Probably bookie speculation more than anything but his odds have halved since this morning.
 
Just as a matter of interest, and knowing that at least one of our members works in the "trade" (Coops).

How much real money would it take to make a significant change in the odds?

Could it be done with a tenner at big odds or are we talking hundreds/thousands to have an impact?

I was at Carlisle races a number of years back when Steve Norton (Barnsley trainer and well known for betting on his own) took the price of his horse from 16's to 5's by placing about 4 separate £1k bets in a few minutes on an egg and spoon race. Such was the impact on a small track/race of a not exceptional amount of money.

Are these markets fluctuating because "real" money is going on?
 
people seriously over estimate bookies.

bookies dont set prices on stuff like this, punters do.
i tried to have a bet last week, maximum stake allowed was £2.
i didnt bother. if i had bothered, the person i was backing would have been halved in price.

already wilder has gone to 1/10 fav.
wally downes was fav at one point.
so was chris morgan.
so was mccall.
so was robinson.
now southgate?

bookies dont have any info, they dont even vaguely care who is next manager. they take less money on these markets than a 13 year old boy in the playground would.

Agree, appointing Southgate would without doubt spell disaster not only in terms of what he would (or wouldn't) bring to the club but also the effect it will have on the ever dwindling supporter base. I cling to the hope that even we couldn't get it so wrong yet again.

Anything to add moDtheGod ?
 
I don't think it would take much Grecian but interesting that McCall is now Fav across the board since the announcement that Motherwell confirmed our approach.
 
he wouldnt get 1k at skybet!

youd be be lucky to get £5 on.
think im joking? try it.
just select a manager, put in a stake and see what the maximum is.

Regardless of how much it takes, it's continuing to be wagered, Macca odds on everywhere now.

But betfair is ordinary people laying the odds as well as taking them.
