Next Reading Manager: Press Conference @ 9:15

[melonhead]

why the assumption that the mentioned names would want to manage reading?

cos they are out of work and desperate for a chance at prem management

For 8 games?

[Ian Royal]

Yes please:
Adkins.
Martinez if he gets sacked before we find a replacement, he won't leave for us for damn sure.

Maybe:
Curbishley if he's still got it, which I doubt.
Hughes if he's not allowed much money.
Dolan
Gary Neville
Di Matteo
Coyle
Poyet

No thanks:
Di Canio
Parkinson
Murty
Warnock
Pearce
Gibbs
Brown
McCleish
Keane
Cotterill
Kean
McGhee
Sanchez
McLaren
Hoddle

No Gus Poyet, Steve McLaren or Glen Hoddle that list.

Happy?

[The Prisoner]

I cant find prices for the 2 I wanted to bet on - E Dolan and Advocaat - can anyone?

If you are looking for a bit of value then Coral seem to have lost the plot at the moment.

They have Nigel Gibbs as 10/1

And even though DI Matteo is as short as evens with some, Coral have him at 20/1

Excellent spot. I've just opened an account and lumped £20 on. As a new punter you get a free matched bet for the same amount as your first bet too.

Because they have made such a hash of Nigel Gibbs price it has reflected badly on their market. They also have Di Canio as 2/1 where he is odds on everywhere else.

[The Prisoner]

The no lose thing to do would be a tenner on PDC and £20 on RDM to get stake back if the latter doesn't come off

Assuming of course that Jose doesn't make a later surge.....

[The Prisoner]

Oh, and a bet on Dolan is a waste of a stake. He only stands a chance as caretaker given that AZ will want a marque name. Need to be in charge 10 games for the bookies to pay out (as referred to earlier in thread) - there are only 9!

Check the small print to see if any bookies take fewer games, but certainly BF and Sky is 10.

[parky]

Don't sky bet only pay out after 10 games in charge? So you'll have to wait till August for any money anyway.

Isn't that only in the case of caretaker managers?

Any manager who manages for 10 games shall be deemed as permanently winnings will be paid out then.

Looks like we will have to wait till August then.

I wouldn't bet on a caretaker manager getting the job permanently, I mean who was the last person ever to do that at RFC.

Oh and Coral have just realised that Nigel Gibbs has left the club and adjusted their market to,

Di Canio. 11/8
Di Matteo 7/4

That 20/1 looks rather large now.

I could be wrong, but I think it is down to the length of contract given. I laid BMcD with Betfair for several hundred pounds and lumped on Terry Connor with Wolves when it became obvious they couldn't get their targets this time last year (think there were 11 games left when McCarthy went). BF didn't pay until the 10th game as Wolves openly said TC was a caretaker (hence prone to being replaced), but if a club offer a season or longer to the new man that is regarded as permanent, so they pay immediately.

Us to beat united on sat and then Dolan to be given the job till the end of the season?

I've got a feeling we may announce the new Manager before Saturday.

[shaka's shorts]

Jonny Fordham has resigned from reading post too! Who is next.....?

I doubt that a new man in even if it was announced today will take over the game on sat. There is next to no time to look at players and pick a side to go to Old Trafford. They will be announced this week but the first game will be Arsenal.

[Divvy]

Jonny Fordham has resigned from the Reading Post, and the Band went missing last week.

We look at the positives and move on.

Can see this happening, even with how difficult the first bit sounds

[The Prisoner]

Boom! Suspect my bet drew their attention to it - as Leics Royal said it's gone down to 7/4 now! Someone got their arse kicked at Coral I bet!

Fold the club!

Was about to post the same pic. Also lumped £20 on.
