[Archived] New Manager Part 2 - With Poll

[Pedro]

Wow, I've only skirted through a few pages and people are expecting Poyet, panicking about Dickov, championing the hapless Phil Brown and rounding upon MG Road. Calm down boys.

[UpShad]

On the former player subject, can someone tell Venkys Mark Hughes used to play for us too!!

[neophox]

Now Michael Appleton has emerged.

[Mike E]

Someone tell them Moyes used to play for us. If they'll listen to shebby's 'statements', they can believe anything.

[Andy]

Didn't Pep Guardiola play a couple of games for us on loan in the 90's?

[koi]

Why is Saunders so bad exactly? Left Wrexham top of the Conference and left Doncaster joint top of League 1. Fair enough he couldn't save them from relegation but he did have a lot of points to make up.

As much as I hate to agree with Phil Brown, I do think he's right when people focus on the negative in this case on his CV is shows Donny got the drop with him in charge. He's got the chance to prove himself now so we'll see.

[J*B]

Michael Appleton now bookies favourite.

[wazzarover]

Appleton now a staggering 1/3 odds on from being 33/1 this morning with betvictor.

[Stuart]

I'm sure some bookies are laughing their socks off at the moment where Rovers are concerned.

Yep! I wasted a few quid on Shearer last time based on a defo from a not so ITK!

Appleton though, where has that come from? Cryer has tweeted that Stan James have suspended betting on it!

[Mercer]

Something not right here.

Appleton now 1/8 with BV.

To get to those odds, even in a narrow market, there is a fair bit of dosh going on. Unless, some punter is deliberately trying to skew the market and therefore lengthen the odds on another candidate before moving in for a killing ! For example only, Poyet 16/1 yesterday and now at 50/1.

[Lathund]

Appleton? He's been at Blackpool what, two months now?

Shebby; I know a lot of fans said they wanted the Blackpool manager the last time around, but it's not the same guy anymore!

[dwayne cage]

Forgive me for being so thick but who is Appleton?

[Amo]

Forgive me for being so thick but who is Appleton?

He is about to lose the one player who is keeping Bl;ackpool afloat at the moment, without Tom Ince, they have little to offer!!

[dwayne cage]

Sign him up!!!!!

Oh yeah Appleton at Blackpool. Blackpool have been quite medeocre under him haven't they?

[Black Burn]

Forgive me for being so thick but who is Appleton?

Current manager of Blackpool who took over after Ian Holloway left for Crystal Palace.

[glen9mullan]

No truth in Appleton Rumour

[Black Burn]

No truth in Appleton Rumour

You should have added no truth in Paul Dickov rumor as well, will go a long way in assuring the rest.

[dwayne cage]

Current manager of Blackpool who took over after Ian Holloway left for Crystal Palace.

Don't think he'd leave so soon but he hasn't been doing too great anyway has he?

[Ricky]

1/8 is crazy odds though. Wonder where that rumour started from.

[chaddyrovers]

Glen, who in line for rovers manager then?

[dwayne cage]

Yesterday Poyet dropped from 60/1 to 16/1 in less than 10mins. Wouldn't pay attention to the bookies

[Kelbo]

1/8 is crazy odds though. Wonder where that rumour started from.

Asian betting scam??? I do wonder, drive the odds down on the ones its NOT going to be, then they can bet on a 20/1 man who will be!!

Asian countries have quite a reputation for shall we say, irregular betting!!

[bob fleming]

I don't know enough about all this betting market stuff to pass comment, however on oddschecker there's only 2 companies with a book open for the appointment. Is that unusual?
