It is only a handful of posters that constantly hound the bloke for his detailed opinion on every single subject Matty

When they continue to hound him on it, despite him having already agreed on another thread, he has a right to be letting them know that they had already acknowledged it

If people didn't constantly go at him on multiple threads we wouldn't be forced to wade through the Chaddy Roversfan show every now and then

What’s that got to do with my question?

[DE.]

I don't really think it's harsh for Leicester to go down, if they do. A well managed club would have dealt with the Rodgers situation a lot sooner, found a good replacement and recruited better in January. Leicester did none of these things so if they go down it's simply because they didn't act fast enough, or in some cases at all, to ensure they stayed up.

You exude confidence in what you post often dismissing the content of other members' postings - all I'm suggesting is that you put your money where your mouth is if you are so confident in what you say; what could you lose?

No interested in betting with you. Why don't you just let that sink in for abit.

Look like Russell Martin is the odds on favourite for the job

If my inside is correct it won't be Potter at Southampton. 

The current Southampton ownership is pretty clueless by the way.

I read a few articles about the problems with Southampton and the management set up. 

I read Plymouth's manager Steven Schumacher is their first choice.

He got away lightly with an eight month ban.

Especially that in 1962, the then England centre half Peter Swan along with his two Sheffield Wednesday team mates, David (Bronco) Layne and Tony Kay were given a four month jail term and banned from football for life for placing a £50 bet that Wednesday would lose to Ipswich Town, which indeed they did. The ban was lifted ten years later. 
These were the days when the authorities had the power. 

[K-Hod]

Be interested to see what bets he’s being banned for. If he’s been betting on games he’s involved in, then fair enough, if not, I don’t get why footballers aren’t allowed to bet on footy tbh.

Trippier’s ban was effectively insider trading and not as long as this, so it must be bad….

[Ianrally]

The problem these days is the fact you can bet on all aspects of a game. The number of cards, which player will get a card, number of corners etc etc.

It is open to all sorts of corruption. If I was a ref for example I could get a pal to put a bet on the number of yellow cards and make sure that was exactly how many I gave in the game.

They feckin must be to have appointed Nathan Jones!

As for Russell Martin - I think the lunatics have really taken over if they appoint him.  I'd give it to Coyley before him!

When last I looked, Swansea fans absolutely hate him. Given that Martin has also been linked with Leicester in the tabloids, I suspect it's his agent putting nonsense out there to force the Swansea board's hand.

[Darrenbot]

Swansea finished the season as one of the leagues form teams won 7 drawn 2 of the last 9 games,maybe he finally got through to the players how he wants them to play.

We will see.

£50 says either Potter or Rodgers at Southampton.  Are you on?

I’ll take you up on that 👍🏻 No chance either of those two end up there. 

[philipl]

My inside has Potter going somewhere else.

My eyes tell me Rodgers would be nuts to go there.

My scales tell me I have drunk too much red wine.

Coyley? ... 🤮

Also, I wouldn't give him my dog's shit to put in a bin. It would somehow end up smeared on a window.

Players move around a fair bit, so imagine player X, Y and Z all played for Southampton for a few seasons. but are now at 3 different clubs. All 3 could theoretically collude to get booked/sent off on the same day, or rig a combined number of attempted shots in their games to be below or above a certain level. Then they talk to some bookie in Singapore, India or any country where gambling is illegal......

Voted for Pep Guardiola as PL manager of the season

Voted for Haaland as PL player of the season 

Voted for McAllister as young PL player of the season. 

Anyone can voted on the PL website.  

[roversfan99]

McAllister is 24! Is that particularly young? 

(Not aimed at you chaddy, aimed at the awards)

Haaland is 22 - surely he’s player and young player of the year.
