Ferguson to Oldham ??

[anton123]

Very short price on sky bet to become next Oldham manager , can't see it myself but does seem odd

[selby]

Has Oldham been moved to the coast?who the hell would want to move to that wet, cold,and windy part of the country.

[Donnybax]

Well his dad did... there must have been a fair bit of early money on him. I really can't see it myself though

[Rovers91]

That won't happen, hopefully they get relegated about time they end up in league 2.

[Dutch Uncle]

DF has a rolling 12 month contract, so presumably anyone taking him has to pay compensation. I know there is talk of a takeover at Oldham, but would they want to pay for a manager as well as new players?

[CrippyCooke]

Bit of an odd one. I cannot see either A. Oldham paying the required compensation, or B. Ferguson opting to go to Oldham.

[1879Rovers]

John Sheridan is the early favourite to replace John Sheridan as the Oldham boss.

[since-1969]

Maybe if he promised not loose another game , it could work let's face it they were stupid enough to give him the job in the first place .

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Barry Ferguson, Duncan Ferguson?

[MrFrost]

Darren Ferguson is 6/4 with Sky Bet, 2nd favourite.

Someone is lumping on him, he was 9/1 earlier today.

[darren61]

it seem DF is second favourite with a few different bookmakers, very short odds.

[MrFrost]

He's evens now.

This could be happening.

[bobjimwilly]

absolutely no chance in Fergie going to Oldham. Time to pick off a few people on Betfair maybe?

He's come in from 9/1 to evens in less than 2 hours.

The only thing you can safely assume from that is that someone has placed a bet on him to get the job.

Don't forget that the bookies had Ugo Ehiogu on the list to be next Birmingham manager last week.

[Rich_The_Conisbrough_Rover]

This looks serious 🤦🏻‍♂️ Now 1/3 Fergy

[hoolahoop]

What this is crazy ....bloody Oldham !!

[CrippyCooke]

Oldham fans don't seem to have any idea where this link came from either.

[redwine]

With the size of the book, I'm guessing someone has put a fiver on it !!!!!

However I won't believe it until Rigo comes on and denounces it and offers to eats dogs testicles   

[Guernsey Exile]

They lambast ferguson and then.start berating unknown  Uruguayans.......Kitsons

[Guernsey Exile]

I love how this forum changes 
Kitsons to Kitsons

[dickos1]

One of my mates spent all day on Saturday telling me how he'd been told that ferguson was resigning after a fall out with the chairman. His next door neighbour is friends with blunt and they'd had a big fall out on Friday.
I thought it was nonsense, but might not be

[acko]

The rumours about fergie and blunt have been doing the rounds for a bit now.When i saw the early odds 12/1 on fergie taking over at Oldham it somewhat surprised me too,but i must admit i had a bit of a flutter on it happening.

[Chris Black come back]

SkyBet have Ferguson as clear favourite at 1/3 with next bloke at 9/4.Rest are absolutely miles away.

[Rich_The_Conisbrough_Rover]

Shall see in the morning then if Oldham make an announcement.

[RoversAlias]

I just cannot see it. Even if he fell out with Blunt, he speaks regularly of this being a long term project, he loves how the club is run and what he's building. Sure, all that could go out the window if a decent Championship club come in for him...but Oldham? Really? I just don't see it.

[Colemans Left Hook]

Just seen this thread

Dickov was once 5/2 favourite to be the next Sheffield wednesday manager  forgot he did the famous "resigning job" at Oldham on that cup run

I remember was it Paul Scholes who mentioned one day managing Told em Oldham (after he'd recharged his batteries)

fergie is 8/13 with sky ritchie wellens who i've been touting as a manager since before Jones got the Rovers job on trial is a mere 16/1 scholes 25/1 (has a flat battery apparently -doesn't want to be in "charge")

their have been some weird transfers deals done by Oldham AFTER the transfer deadline got a job lot of froggies


sep 12
Mohamed Maouche [Tours - Oldham] Free


sep 6
Queensy Menig [Nantes - Oldham] Loan

Gevaro Nepomuceno [Maritimo - Oldham]

Abdelhakim Omrani [Sedan - Oldham] Free

transfer deadline day
22:30 - Jack Ruddy [Wolves - Oldham] Loan
21:30 - Kean Bryan [Manchester City - Oldham] Loan
19:30 - Eoin Doyle [Preston - Oldham] Loan
14:18 - Johny Placide [Unattached - Oldham]

aug 29
Jack Byrne [Wigan - Oldham] Loan
aug9
Gyamfi Kyeremeh [unattached - Oldham]
aug 4
Ben Wilson [Cardiff - Oldham] Loan

point iS to get all those froggies in their must be some sort of cunning plan - would take a lot of contacts - organisation

i expected them to improve and they won one in a row or almost won one in a row from memory some good performance away

apart from the fact caldwell won't have his compensation sorted at 25/1 he looks a good bet to continue his lancashire "club crawl" at least he's not pint sized (like Dickov) .

[mushRTID]

No chance!

The bust up rumour sounds concerning though, any idea what it's meant to have been about?

[1879Rovers]

That is about it. I once saw a bookmaker talking about manager betting. He was saying that very few people bet on it so even a small bet would see a big market move.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Exactly that. Crazy rumour really. These days a clear backward step.
