I do look forward to the Burnley market Alex. It couldn't be Curbishley. Never in a million billion years



Never rule anything out. Even George Graham.


Any news on the Garfish relationship with the Norfish? I have not been able to find that on google.


I have Holloway and Cough money first being taken at 360.0 btw. But we are ok, I can say that coz nobody ever comes over here.

My Tolkien glossary lists the Norfish people as a tribe able to resist temperatures down to -170 in their underpants, particularly after imbibing the locally produced mead.

It seems unlikely Curbishley would contemplate associating with such types unless he can manage the club from home via the miracle of the internet. I believe Keane did that at Sunderland, so it is not without precedent

Given your hot underpants theory I will now lay to 1000.0 any Nigerian and Yemini trained managers that might appear on the list.

I reckon Curbs is a prospect. But only if a Coyle deal cannot be done.

For the moment we are treading water and anything can happen. I am doing very little and just waiting for action. It should not be long.

In fact this is an interesting analysis of betfair users habits.


I play safe and just level up Coyle and Curbs with no reds at all. A modest return I accept but I don't think I am gambling. Clearly I must have done a bit to get there but I am not now.

That 11.5 looks a tempter of a lay on Reid. His candidature would appear dead in the water. But I am always reluctant to disturb such a nice green book
By:
GeorgeBrush
When: 03 Jan 10 12:17
In fact the pink book in general is looking a little over excited

Another lay of Reid would give me a red. Count me out I have had a good week and I may settle down and watch a movie.

Remind me to use the phrase "over excited books".

Have you gents spotted the Ian Ridley comment that Coyle was seen in the tunnel 45 minutes after he was supposed to have left for his flight.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1240188/Coyle-bids-farewell-Burnley-Bolton-chairman-Gartside-set-make-official-approach.html

Conversely I've seen various comments asking why he would fly to Edinburgh last night? Coyle's family are based in North Lanarkshire not Glasgow so Edinburgh would actually be closer for him.
By:
Alex the old wrinkled retainer
When: 03 Jan 10 12:54
Yes.


It seemed to me that planes don't fly immediately and that the Times commentary was there before the Mail. He just did not want to answer questions and that may go part of the way to answer where his odds where they are.


Lay Coyle at you peril, imo.

That view may not be the way to quick riches or to big losses but I think it sensible. There will be another manager market along in a while and we can just have a nudge at that or perhaps go in gung ho. But there is not panic today is there? Slow and steady.
By:
Ernesto
When: 03 Jan 10 13:12
I had my initial 1.45 lay matched early on but have long since greened up in anticipation of a more drawn out Burnley search.

As far as I'm concerned Coyle spoke to Celtic in the summer so I'm aware he'd look for a move but I'm still astonished he's leave in Jan but he's a smart cookie so I'm sure he's got it all worked out.. Maybe he thinks he'll give the new guy the chance to but in the transfer window.

I think that you are making this too complicated Ernesto.

It seems to me that you just need to play these markets in a certain way but just be patient.


Trading this now without fresh news is mug trading.

We appear to be at 1.4-1.44 now.

And I appear to be banned from the General Forum!

Shocking

:D

Alex I may even be older than your old wrinkled retainer himself. I'm may not possess his wisdom but I've learnt that by following certain rules, I can make money on these markets. I'm sure I picked up one of these from yourself or GB both of whom demand respect in these markets. I'm a layer not a backer these days although I am cautious now not to be the last layer of the fav.

I have a question though which you or GB can choose to answer. At which point do you oppose the money. Hid*****was fairly obvious for the rules readers but how about Poyet or 'Arry. When do you decide to oppose for huge profit or stay neutral?
By:
Alex the old wrinkled retainer
When: 03 Jan 10 21:39
Praise indeed.

I am still banned from the general forum however I can live. :|

You oppose when you think that you are ahead of the news or sometimes when you see complete idiots putting up silly odds.


Right now I am not and it looks like a one way street. I am not suggesting a back at 1.31. Just don't oppose.
By:

When: 03 Jan 10 21:39
I never oppose big Erny. Oppose in moderation. I'm always annoyed because I've opposed the final favourite 'too much'.

But this only means cutting them back to the average green. Sometimes we all overdo it. I cut Ancelotti back from £6.5k to £600. That was excessive, and came from being a little impatient.

We have promoted Ernetso to Big Ernie.

I can run with that.

The main thread is a classic. It reminds me of Deal or no deal, crossed with Derek Acorah.

I see we have a few out at 1000 now. I suppose i am going to have to move out to there shortly.


Allow me to compose myself.

I note that between myself, Alex, and Ernesto Guevara we never seem to know who the manager is going to be.

Perhaps that is the best advice to give anyone on these markets
By:

Absolutely. !!!

Just don't tell anybody else.

On these markets somebody else will always know more than you do is all I wanted to say. But we know that don't we.

I never think anything as firm as that. I just think that sometimes certain choices would be dangerous to oppose. ;)

Absolutely no reason for Coyle to leave Burnley half way through the season.






It is precisely this rationale why there is a fred on other sports.

well i said from the off Coyle would be favourite. Ive obviously followed this market closely being off work last week also helped. Coyle is my smallest green by some way. Him getting the job will be greater than any financial gain as i may finally be able to enjoy the match once more. If he doesnt get it i will be quids in. Ive managed to create a nice green on Jewell, Warnock, oleary and dowie in case the worst does happen

sky are saying bolton want to speak to him

Coyle is saying nothing

The odds are 1.4

i would suggest he is on his way
By:
Alex the old wrinkled retainer
When: 03 Jan 10 23:44
I think that you are right. Skybet dropped their odds to 1.2 earlier. Lads went to 1.17 but sky usually are ahead of the game and the Lads compiler is under the thumb.
