Post by: drfchound on May 07, 2018, 08:17:28 pm: I would be amazed if he dropped to L2 when he has indicated he wants to be a Championship manager.

Post by: RedJ on May 07, 2018, 08:21:05 pm: Well he unexpectedly dropped to League Two last time he got himself a League One job.. ;) :P

Obviously, but that doesn’t change the fact our manager is second favourite for another job.

Looks like BetVictor is only bookies running book on this and Ferguson not mentioned at all - closest you will get is Neil Redfearn way back on 25/1.

Post by: Dare to dream! on May 07, 2018, 11:25:11 pm: Weird this has come up because when we played them recently, something that struck me was how complimentary DF was about MK

and as i've told you many many times Dickov was once 5/2 favourite to be the Shefffield wednesday manager when they were in division one

you can only get a pittance on at any odds anyway

Not on any betting sites I have looked at. No mention of DF at all.

Post by: aidanstu on May 08, 2018, 02:46:14 pm: I can’t see this one happening. Mk isn’t much closer to DF’s home in Stamford than Doncaster is and I would imagine, given his father’s illness he won’t be mad keen on spending much time further south. Then there is the whole drop a division thing as well. He did say he didn’t want to be a league 1 manager though. Never mentioned league 2.

Post by: Campsall rover on May 08, 2018, 05:44:41 pm: He’s going nowhere. I really don’t know how these stupid rumours start. It’s total nonsense. Now I have said that he will be unveiled as new manager of Barnsley tomorrow. :facepalm:
