Yeah same. Strangely I couldn't find Rovers manager odds anywhere easily. What’s the big secret?

I wouldn't describe 4/1 as heavy favourite. 4/1 essentially means it's a 20% chance of happening in the bookies eyes.

more compo

Dean Smith would be immense

According to Facebook sky have reported Alexander is in talks. It wouldn't be a terrible appointment. He's done a cracking job at Bradford. I doubt whether it will happen though

Manager of Charlotte FC and signed a new 2 year deal last year. He'd require some compo. Seems unlikely we'll be paying it.

That just show how expensive it must be to run teams at this level. I think it’s paying off up to a point. What sours it for me is when the lads you’ve invested a lot of time and money in swan off to other clubs and we get next to nothing back.

If I type "next Blackburn Rovers manager odds" into Google, the top result is from Oddschecker. The preview underneath has Graham Alexander 4/1, Coleman 5/1, Hughes 6/1, Bilic 6/1, Savage 8/1. When you click the link to go to the website, it doesn't display Rovers managerial odds, just the Man Utd, Palace Leicester etc. odds.

Dean smith being linked now.

With such a small market betting odds movement is largely irrelevant when trying to work out who it will be.. closing the market is a little odd though

Alexander would be above my pitifully low expectations.

Yea I think those days have gone and have to accept it. I think perhaps with better players it would be 'easier' for these guys to come in and get some wins but we need experience at this stage, poor players, with a fight on our hand, the last th9ng we need is a trip down memory lane for a heroic save. We need someone who can manipulate a better system for the guys we have now.

Tough to argue with his record, but still a Dingle non the less

Stranger things have happened and besides they are both non league. Sav loves Hughes and vice versa they might make a good duo with Hughes mentoring Savage with a view to stepping back in future. An opportunity to manage a Championship club and be sold the dream of taking it back to the Prem. It would certainly be something that would capture the imagination and get fans onside. A better suggestion than some of the guff being thrown around and more interesting than a return blandness.

Gary bloody Rowett - just get it done!

When you say heavy favourite? What price was he at?

That’s the pond we’re fishing in.

The thing is, it all stemmed from an "insider" account posting that someone with his initials had "interviewed" well. It probably just shows how easy it is to totally change the betting market on a market like this.

Mowbray got hold of him.

When we first signed Pickering his highlight reel consisted almost entirely of him playing as wing back. All attacking play with hardly any examples of him defending. What happened to that part of his game ?

Closed betting with Graham Alexander heavy favourite

Maybe he’s seen how the role of manager affects people physically and psychologically and he doesn’t want to end like that. I remember ITV doing a programme about the stress of football management. They chose Big Sam when he was involved in a relegation battle game at Bolton. They had him wired up to the usual devices. His blood pressure and heart rate went up to ridiculously unhealthy levels.

Johnson will be in charge for the Norwich game, even if we appoint someone in the next 5mins you'd think.

Graham Alexander is so underwhelming - please no
