Right who's the next manager then? (17 Viewers)

[Jamieb87ccfc]

Robbie Keane isn’t employed he left Tel Aviv after one season having won a cup.
Lee Carsley for me won’t last if appointed, his experience is working with U21s and to be fair Englands youth setup is blessed with hugely talented kids. He doesn’t have the experience of managing adults and hasn’t been great as interim (I know only a couple of games) for England.
Lampard for me isn’t ideal either but he did have a great season at Derby albeit ending in failure and a great go at Chelsea first time round.
Ruud VN has done well at UTD and did well at PSV, seems passionate and to really love the game. He is young and good be a show stopper but I feel is out of our reach.
Matt Bloomfield is young but has had a good almost half season so far so jury is still out.

Carsley and RVN have come right in

These betting odds can’t be trusted. It’s just whoever is putting money on.

I can foresee the local media giving Carsley too much stick for not singing WLADITT before kick off... so he might avoid it.

Be right back, just gonna put a shit ton of money on Russell Slade

That's how betting odds work though, if people have inside info and lump a load of money on the odds come down

Ideally you would have thought that DK would have already had some kind of plan given the international break and it would have given the new manager a couple of weeks to work with the players. Seems to be winging it.

Lampard out to 8/11, Carsley into 5/2 and RVN into 7/1.

If you have any confidence in the odds (I don’t!)

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

If it’s Lampard why isn’t he in place already to work this lot, I thought when king said it may take until after international break that Carsley is his choice.

Is that an inside snippet @Saddlebrains or just you agree with @Terry Gibson's perm logic ?

Sounds like it to me too. Imagine if he got Carsley as coach and Southgate as Director of Football?

sure is - although the Cov manager betting market will hardly be big, so it wont even take a "load of money" to move the odds.

 

[shmmeee]

we should all put £1 on Horneland just so he gets into the odds and people write about him.

Their league finishes 1st December, would be mid December before he would even consider coming here

 

[shmmeee]

Because he needs a rest to avoid injury?

 

[WebbCCFC]

Because he needs a rest to avoid injury?

Is the sarcasm necessary? He won't leave in the middle of a title race, he'd have a break after the season is finished, potentially celebrating a title win. I'll let him know Shmmeee says he can't have a day off and must fly straight here on the final whistle

Work in the betting industry and have priced these type of markets in the past, these markets aren't worth referencing as a source of information because:

Max stake and max win will be capped at tiny amounts so the bookmaker doesn't get caught out out by insider information
Prices will be automatically cut when small amounts are bet as there are at best a handful of books offering the market to reliably compare prices.
Because the turnover is so low, very little time is spent researching the market and that's why you see the same usual names alongside ones mentioned in the press.

Cov fans havce managed to talk RvN into being priced, some have clearly bet on him and now his price has shortened lol.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

If it’s Lampard why isn’t he in place already to work this lot, I thought when king said it may take until after international break that Carsley is his choice.

If so though, could still have him appointed but just confirm that he will take the role once the international break is complete.

Or just we are letting carsley crack on either way and then waiting for him (which if Doug thinks he’s the right choice, good as would rather us wait then rush in).

Does anyone know if he’s even applied?

Interest in RVN is genuine…

And so it should be, my shout from the off.

 

[Colin Steins Smile]

No!

 

[Offhegoes]

Carsley will be the man. He has to honor the remaining U21 games hence the delay in announcing.

 

[fernandopartridge]

TBF Dean Smith built the core of the current successful Villa team. Got Villa promoted (having taken over in November with them in 15th place).

Just saw someone say that on Twitter, it’s so true. Far away from where we used to be

 

[Evo1883]

Il be honest I can't see any positives from Dean Smith or even Lee carlsey tbh , none whatsoever

Sparks actually gets some good bits sometimes, also trolls occasionally so hard to tell. @Ccfcisparks what you sayin?

I remember a time when Paolo do Canio was available and thinking I’d love to have him as our manager.

I’m not going to lie mate I was gonna put another post saying

“he’s got interest from me”

but I forgot to post it as I heard the microwave ding for my lunch.

I do hope there is interest though. Appeals to me more than most of the names

Carsley i would class as an unknown that could go either way. Dean Smith and i'd probably cry.

Smith got Villa promoted and Carsley won the 21s Euros playing great football.

I'd rather have Dean Gaffney than Dean Smith though.
