David Flitcroft 2-9 with skybet

[Drover]

Could be a reaction to Bolton’s misleading webpage the other day.?

Or God forbid,they knew something we did'nt!

[LincsRover]

Hope not! That’s all, just hope they’re wrong!! 

[South East Rover]

1/3 now, only bet I'd have is the favorite will change between now and tuesday,   
FFS they had Steve Evans odds on a week or so ago, I don't think one Rovers
supporter thought that would happen,after last season I trust the board to pick the
best man for the job.

[IDM]

Who’s choosing our next manager.??

Is it speculating bookies, or our board.???

[DRNaith]

You can probably pick faults with every name on the list.

We have to trust the board to make the right selection for the club after they have gone through all the applicants and interviewed however many make the shortlist.

Don't think many were too impressed when McCann was appointed but we had a good season and the fans were behind him soon enough into the season.

Most managers will have been sacked at some point in their career after a bad run of results.

The last two appointments this board have done after John Ryan left haven't done too bad. (Ferguson may have had his critics but he left us a lot stronger than we were before he joined)

 

Spot on.  If a player was perfect they would be playing at the top level, why, as a third tier club, do we expect to get a perfect, or near perfect, manager?

[Branton Rover]

He’s a Lancastrian which never goes down well - but if you disregard that his win ratio figures are fairly impressive - he won half his matches as Swindon manager. The problem is that the club has raised expectations amongst supporters that we’re going to get a manager of serious quality & no disrespect to Flitcroft it would be like putting a pin through our expectancy balloon if he gets the job

[Padge_DRFC]

Come on guys me and mates prstting around on social media 1 being his son got Billy Russell down to second favorite at one point

Surely you pissing about is just you lot wasting money?

[DonnyOsmond]

Appleton's climbed into the top 3 aswell now.

Bump..

[5minstogo]

Alan Stubbs appeared at 16/1 as well. Can't remember him being on the list before.

Nope hes a new name. Can't say i know too much about him.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Looks like some are going into panic mode based on betting odds! 😂 Without even an interview being held!

[Retdon1]

1/6 now

[Rovers91]

Hope the odds are wrong, don't think Flitcroft would be the right option. With the budget he had at Mansfield he should have got them up easy.

[karldew]

1/6 with Moore second favourite at 7/1 is a massive gap in the market. Wasn’t McCann similar when we thought the bookies knew nothing? Possibly something in this even if the interview process apparently isn’t until Monday/Tuesday

Bump..

Bump again.!!

The only thing that might be known is the candidates selected for interview and not the final decision.!

[grayx]

Really hope the bookies have got this one wrong.

[IDM]

Ok folks, seriously, given that the interviews haven’t even taken place yet why on earth would these be the odds other than pure speculation.???

[Bristol Red Rover]

Someone, or a few people, who know for sure Flitcroft has an interview and fancy him for the job maybe even based on some feedback he has. I can't imagine it's more than playing the odds before they shortened.

[GazLaz]

If it does end up being DF it makes a mockery of the recruitment process.

[IDM]

If it does end up being DF it makes a mockery of the recruitment process.

Why.?  If he’s applied and the board are convinced he’s the best candidate.?

Not saying he is, but questioning your “mockery” statement..

[Retdon1]

If it does end up being DF it makes a mockery of the recruitment process.

I agree he’s hardly a high calibre candidate is he 

[ian1980]

Fatty Evans was odds on a few days back. I wouldn’t read to much into it at this stage

[Retdon1]

He’s more than likely just the first name that’s been leaked of someone who has an interview... he has been rumoured to be 1 of the names on the 4 man shortlist for the past few days

[Pancho Regan]

Bugger this, I’m sticking £600 on Flitcroft

 

[Draytonian III]

With it being a small inclusive market if someone put £25 on Paul Mayfield being the next manager he would be 33/1 - 50/1 , try it

Was McCann a high quality candidate when he got the job.

[dickos1]

He wasn’t, but the board have said this time we’ve had a number of high calibre and exciting applicants.
You can’t be saying things like that about flitcroft

[Retdon1]

McCan was an unproven manger when he was appointed. Flitcroft has managed over 300 games.

Baldwin has started that a number of high quality candidates had applied this time. Idd say a large number of people would argue with good reason that Flitcroft is not in the high quality Category
