Anthony Hudson

[Bentley Bullet]

Psychology is called for here....Watch this space........

SM, I can't believe the rumour I've heard that Moore hasn't got the job. What do you think about it?

[WSBBA_Ben]

Now 7/2 to get the job. Moore is drifting.

This would be Dickov-esk deflation 

[Michael Gibson]

How can they appoint Hudson 9 wins in 60 games???? Wtf.

[jackthelad]

Now 7/2 to get the job. Moore is drifting.

This would be Dickov-esk deflation 

It would be worse than that.

[drfchound]

Some nervous posts there lads.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

I cannot see it and I hope it is not him. Just shows that theres no whispers as yet.

[Fal]

Would be massively disappointed if it was him, just think it’s a lot of rumour mongering from people all over and gullible people are chucking money on him.

Still think it’s Darren Moore

[steve@dcfd]

He would be the cheap option with his experience of running an EFL club aiming for promotion or any EFL club. Win ratio of 25% if appointed it would be a joke and make the club a laughing stock.

[rtid88]

His odds are dropping and Moore's beginning to increase again.... Getting worried....

[IDM]

No one can accuse our board of not applying due diligence in the recruitment process.

Every new appointment will be a risk to some degree, but if they choose Hudson they must have good reasons and being the “cheap option” doesn’t come into it IMHO.

Joke.? Laughing stock.? Really.?

Fans maybe underwhelmed by what they perceive as a poor choice, but shouldn’t any new manager be judged on the performance of the team and the players brought in, and the results, rather than any prior reputation.??

[One_Matty_Lucas]

We need to pin this thread in case Hudson is appointed, and see how well the posts age...

Have some faith with the board, they haven't done badly in previous recruiting (Dickov being the exception, and only because of JR being mates with him).

[IDM]

His odds are dropping and Moore's beginning to increase again.... Getting worried....

Isn’t that just fluctuation due to betting.? People are guessing here.?

As I just posted, shouldn’t we give the new manager a chance.?

. Im sorry, but if he gets it over the other candidates interviewed then it is criminal.

Skybet haven’t got a clue. In the last hour or so;

Moore has gone from below evens to above evens to back below evens.

Hudson has gone from 2/1 to 5/2

Flitcroft has come in to 6/1 from 12/1 then back out to 7/1

Appleton gone from 4/1 to 8/1 and now 10/1

Eustace rumoured to be the fifth candidate has gone from 22/1 to 25/1

Think it’s a lucky dip who we get

[pib]

Could be completely wrong, but I really can't see how this guy would make it through the entire process ahead of Moore or Appleton, or even Flitcroft for that matter - given the criteria of:

- Working knowledge of the EFL or equivalent
- Proven track record of securing results
- Excellent contacts within the football community
- A proven leader

Now Hudson may well have some of the above qualities, but for him to emerge ahead of three men who have coached and managed extensively in English football, and each had elements of success at clubs of a similar (or higher) level as DRFC, would make very little sense.

Still holding out hope for Darren Moore. Appleton would be my 2nd choice and wouldn't be disappointing at all. Not keen on Flitcroft but I think even he would eclipse Hudson on paper.

[Southboy]

I don't know a lot about betting but thought odds reflect two things. The likelyhood of the event happening and what other bets have been placed. Unless Sky and others have a hotline to the Board, they don't know anything more than us lot. So the betting reflects bets placed and guesswork.

If I were a serious betting man I would now start a rumour that Hudson had got it, wait for the odds to shorten and lengthen on Moore and then place a wodge on Moore.

Actually, that's a good idea.

My mate who works at the KM has told me he's seen the contract they are offering Hudson, honest!!

[silent majority]

You guys need to have faith.

[pib]

That is me saying I do have faith!  Can't see the board choosing this guy.

[Colemans Left Hook]

the odds on moore range from 8/11 sky to 1/7 with plastic paddy power slight difference of opinion
hudson is 11/5 (was 2/1) with reach for the sky &  6/1 with plastic
 flitcroft 7/1 sky  14/1 plastic
apple 10/1 sky 16/1 plastic

i reckon they work on £500 meaning lay to lose £500 then shorten

they work this way on overnight odds on certain events when we are supposed to be asleep

[Fal]

You guys need to have faith.

This fills me with a tad more confidence, short and to the point.

[dickos1]

You guys need to have faith.

Think this should quash the panic,
I trust them to pick the best candidate as they have done almost always.
It would be deflating if we got Hudson but McCann was also deflating at the time.

Are we likely to get the announcement today Martin?

[DonnyOsmond]

Yeah, any idea of time scales?

[IDM]

Like I have said several times now, who appoints our manager, the bookies or our board.?

[Colemans Left Hook]

sky have read the post and now gone 8/15 from 8/13 accordingly hudson 3/1

think they'll be no moore betting on this soon book closed

[dickos1]

Like I have said several times now, who appoints our manager, the bookies or our board.?

I don’t think nobody is suggesting the bookies appoint the manager, but at this stage they will have people leaking things to them. We all found out flitcroft had got an interview just on the basis he went odds on.
Doesn’t mean they’re getting the job but a swing in the price often indicates they know something

[IDM]

Or that punters are speculating..?

[redarmy82]

If you think the bookies odds are solely based on money being bet then you're seriously mistaken.

[Move DRFC]

Odds are changing constantly - Moore is now 8/15 odds on fav and Hudson has drifted to 5/2.

Does now look like a two horse race though. Can't believe how well kept this has bee, would have thought it would have gotten out by now.

[Pancho Regan]

You guys need to have faith.

This.

To me it all boils down to faith in our Board and Gavin to make the right decisions.
I'm not going to get all worried and anxious about this name or that name.
 
I trust them with the decision.

[Glyn_Wigley]

If you think the bookies odds are solely based on money being bet then you're seriously mistaken.

Bookies odds are always based on maximising their profit and minimising their losses. It's a business.
