Meaning someone bet a fiver. These markets are set ENTIRELY by computer risk management software and the amounts staked in total are tiny.

Insider knowledge? Seem's an outlandish bet

 

[Simon Morgan]

Based on his spell at Fulham? No thanks

 

[lizard]

Still 25's at Corals if anyone fancies losing some money.

No, seriously, someone has bet about a fiver to cause that change. If someone made a hefty bet the market would be closed by that bookie immediately.

of the names thown around, be pretty happy with him. wouldnt hold Fulham against him, dont think anyone could solve the problems there.

What about based on his 6 years as assistant to the greatest manager that's ever lived? If we are just basing it on their last job, I guess Moyes is out too.

 

[Brownstuff]

Get him in, he's Dutch

Not sure about him, would be interesting. Certainly not holding Fulham against him, he was on a hiding to nothng there. Undoubtedly a good coach, yet to be given long enough as no. 1. I'd take him over Sherwood

The Bookies do this to take money of mug punters..relax

He was coach, Phelan was the Assistant Manager, so on that basis may as well have him !! Maybe he didn't have enough time at Fulham, and it wa sa tough gig, but didn't show enough for me that he had what it takes, brought a few in in January, and even with Wilkins and Curbishley there, the slide seemed inexorable. I'd hope for someone with a bit more successful management experience, or a hungry young manager. Plenty of both available out there

 

[Insel affe]

nah Fulham reject

 

[jamie the seagull]

He was on the short list 11 months ago......(see link below)
We now have a good relationship with Man Utd after Lingard's successful loan period.
Man Utd players had nothing but praise for his training and coaching methods (handy when you have spent millions on a state of the art complex).
