Alan Stubbs favourite, followed by Billy Davies. Ferguson dropped to 3rd.

Didn't GazLaz have a few quid on Stubbs when he was at 20's? Fair play if so.

4/6 Stubbs. On at 20.

I looked at the odds around 6.40 last night on oddschecker and saw that nice man billy davies had entered the betting at 14/1 I was going to back wellens with the Doncaster interest so via oddschecker I backed "billy to be a hero" only trouble is  it turned into Kevin davies HORROR SHOW at 14/1 by the time I looked at the bet oddschecker didn't even quote - after giving them hell about there impossible mistake yesterday and today my kevin davies bet has been cancelled and the tenna might beon at 10/1 on billy
on checking my bets with them they laid me 40/1 marquis in October and 66/1 Portsmouth on 18th april so obviously no inside information there

funny thing is after my tenna on billy that ended on Kevin davies the odds on billy dropped like a stone

He was an absolute disaster at Rotherham. They may have been better off leaving Richie in charge!

there seem s to be a habit of the management staff at Everton being a disaster in South Yorkshire DAvid Weir looked good on paper so did the Mona Lisa !! (can't really take her down the pub)but he was an absolute disaster at Sheffield Disunited
David Weir[58]   Scotland Scotland   10 June 2013   11 October 2013   13   1   2   10   7.69%

even worse than i thought won one in a row drew 2 lost a mere ten

Stubbs literalty put his foot in it at Rotherham and did some very bad unprofessinal interviews on radio da da before he was subbed not Stubbed

Never thought we'd see him in England again.

I checked last night and Wellens was evens which pi$$ed me off as i intended to back him but didn't haven't a clue whether i've got a bet on Davies or not but it is shere stupidity prefering tubbs to the "nasty man"

any how just looked now and it's 1/2 stubbs 3/1 wellens 8/1 clarence seedorf (who has been 1/3  fergie was once 1/3)

so let's hope gaz can do it

sadly from a betting point of view looks like wellens is wellin for the job he's  2/5
and 2/1 stubbs

just imagine his team win again on saturday whoever they play can't really not give it to him

i've just worked out why wellens was never given a chance as a tempory manager at Rovers

Jones went because he wasn't fit and hadn't trained. There was never any sign that he would ever get fit enough to play.

Wellens went because he wanted to. He was disruptive in the changing room and had fallen out with his teammates.

better never than late  :suicide: :suicide:

How does SM know what went off in the changing room?
It's a slur on an excellent player.
I'd like to see the evidence for it and I wonder who told him to say that?

I doubt anyone told him to say it. I heard about it from a separate source and as I recall, there were a few others aware but, after all it's not something you'd want to be broadcasting at the time. Plus, it's hardly surprising players fall out from time to time.

Players at all levels fall out with each other.
When it gets to the level where their income depends on what they do it is more likely.

On the Oldham subject, i have read today that their staff still hasn't been paid their September wages.

Probably why all the talk about who will be the next manager has stopped. They will struggle to attract any decent candidates until they can show they have dealt with the money problems.

Richie may end up being caretaker for quite a while. If he continues to do well he could end up being offered the job.

If this rumoured takeover goes through then I can't see money being an issue.

It's the first time that Wellens has been chosen over Paul Scholes, despite a few opportunities in the past.

Oldham to appoint Richie Wellens as permanent manager
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4992064/Oldham-appoint-Richie-Wellens-permanent-manager.html

"Ex-Leicester, Oldham and Blackpool man" - typical national rag, no mention over Rovers, despite 2 spells and over 190 appearances (203 for Blackpool, 143 for Leicester, 100 for Oldham)

Disagree with this - he made the most appearances at Blackpool, Leicester are of most interest to the man on the street and Oldham is the team he is taking charge of. Makes perfect sense that in mentioning 3 teams they would mention those 3. Not everything is a slight on little old Doncaster!

Good luck to him as a manager if he takes his drive, passion and experience into his new job he should do ok. He may ruffle a few sensitive souls feathers with his aggressive demure but he’s a winner and won’t suffer those who are not. He also says he liked the way Doncaster played football and eventually wants his teams to emulate that.

You never used to provide evidence when you had an inside source.

we all know that the curse of the manager of the month strikes regularily
 
seem to remember penney "dropped 3 points" first game  when he was promoted from caretaker manager

so MK Dons at home to beat Oldham at MK has to be a banker speculative treble Oldham to lose next 3 ? any takers

You should have the courage of your own convictions. It's a straight forward question, it's either a yes or a no.

Post by: anne honemous on October 18, 2017, 10:32:32 pm
I want to see how good Wellens does over 100 games.

Admittedly, he's got off to a very impressive start but he's not experienced a transfer window, dealing with agents, fixture congestion, injuries, pressure from directors/fans/media, disruptive or problematic players, financial restrictions, etc, in a managerial position yet.

How he copes with the above over a prolonged period will show whether he's cut out for management in the long term.
Title: Re: Betting for Oldham manager suspended?
Post by: DRNaith on October 18, 2017, 11:12:14 pm
He's played under some good managers and coaches, it will be interesting to see how his teams play.

My question to you was a straight forward question and you didn’t answer that either so it is hardly fair to about turn that on me.

I have no idea why you should have asked me why I might be having a dig at you.

Are you just being controversial?
