Same here. It can't last too long surely? I bit the bullet I placed mine on about ten minutes ago.

Maybe plain stupid, but I just stuck on a score on Pulis at 16's. I have honestly, dreamed twice in last week that he became manager, but that may have more to do with overdosing on NSC or wishful thinking than any reality.
No Value left in Hughton anymore
That 16s is well worth a sniff - he will be the number one choice, but we won't be his.

Hopefully we won't have too much egg on face when Colin or Twatkins is paraded out to the press at Lancing sometime next week.

Not suspended at BF but 1/2 to back, no thanks for me at that price, but looks nailed on, £600 traded at 1.6 since last I looked when there was barely anything traded at that price, so either someone has mugpunted £500 in the last hour, or get ready for a press conference tomorrow

Half that amount - Betfair include both the Layer & Backer in their inflated turnover figures.

Regardless, more than has been traded on any other price, and BF punters and their bots are more likely to reflect a true price than regular books

I'm not convinced by these odds. I've just had a dabble on Rosler, @ 33/1. Tried to do £30, but max stake permitted was a tenner, so that's what I staked. I'm presuming most/all bookies (except maybe Betfair) cap the amount you can wager. So, though Hughton looks a logical choice, maybe people are reading too much into this, & blindly putting £10 - £20 stakes on, hence price dropping continually. If it's not Hughton, then everyone else is value at 16/1 bar. Rosler, as far as I know, is very interested in the position, & didn't wish to talk in depth when asked on Talksport...

Hughton now into unchartered territory at 1/7 with Skybet. Still a best priced 1/3 with BetVictor and Coral at the moment.

Coming up on the outside in the last furlong is a complete unknown darkhorse and outsider, Esteban Vigo, (who?) who is quoted at 20/1 with Skybet. A journeyman coach who's managed lots of teams, his last being Xerez. He guided them to a segunda division title in 2008/09. Apart from that? Probably a mate of Oscars looking at the time he spent at Barcelona.

Pulis now 20's with BetVictor and skybet.... had another £25 with Sky at 20's to double up on the £20 at 16's with Bet Victor earlier.
Despite who we may want or not want as manager, i think this is cracking value (even though I accept we're not Pulis first choice)..... my theory.
Argus said, We spoke to Pulis first....that says a lot. We went from: paraphrase Barbers quotes. "making a swift appointment", to the club alluding: it's happy not to rush but to take time to get right man "for both short and long term" and to carry on interviews.
It could have been that preferred candidates said No, but Hughton saying today on BBC "he wants job" shows thats not the case. And I doubt a whiley old operator like Pulis would say No outright, he may use us as leverage elsewhere where he's a candidate, but he wants to work and we are not a terrible option if all else fails...... and its the "all else fails option" that may see him here.
I have a hunch TB wants Pulis, but Pulis wants higher if he can get it and thus is not yet ready to commit. Hughton, has seemingly been interviewed, says he wants the job but hes still not appointed. Why?
There's no need to yet. Hughton is not going to Palace, Pardew is shoe in. WBA are deciding according to press between Pulis and Sherwood, and whilst Pulis is favourite. I dont see it. Chairman Peace has a strict DOF structure and with Pulis that would have to be ripped apart, all Sherwood would want is his own coaches not a complete revolution, he was going to accept the job before but had a change of heart because he couldn't bring his coaches, a small allowance from Peace this time would surely be enough and his structure could remain.
If Bloom wanted Hughton as first choice, we could have him today imo, Hughton is saying he wants it, but we haven't appointed him, the clubs noises about taking time to get right man i reckon is biding time in hope of getting Pulis. Jones is helping to relieve pressure by showing he can be trusted with the first team, so there is less need to act as quickly as before.
Now I reckon WBA will go for Sherwood, and assuming Newcastle (Once Pardew leaves) dont go for Pulis (Ashley has DOF arrangement and Press say - Fran De Boer), and assuming no more sackings before the weekend.
Brighton becomes the only available turkey in the shop for Pulis and Bloom will get the first man he chose to speak to, and I reckon the one he now waits for.
If Pulis goes elsewhere, I expect "Hughton was always our preferred candidate and number 1 choice, but we wanted to be thorough and we believe we have got the right man to lead us forward" blah blah
20/1 for Pulis.... dont mind if I do!
