Unlikely, yes, but 'repeat after me' suggests you know for sure. Do you? Have you spoken to DM? Yes and no. But not necessarily in this order. But it's not going to happen. Well, is it?

GrahamC Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I think I have a vague idea of how betting works but I'm baffled by this. Someone must be putting money on him for his odds to shorten so much. Apart from living fairly locally I can't think of a single good reason why he would even be on our shortlist, let alone be favourite. Assuming for a moment that Pearson isn't interested and Moyes is out of our league, even from unemployed managers Garry Monk, Steve Clarke, Uwe Rosler, Neil Warnock or even Chris Powell would make more sense as appointments than Pearce would.

They would make more sense. For the moment I'm not worried. When all the bookies start to become 1/5 that's when you know somethings happened. Honestly I simply cannot think of a worse appointment than Pearce. I think appointing him would be a huge step towards relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its always like this with manager markets. Different days see different managers backed into favourites. My theory is with something like oddschecker bookies just follow each other. Corals went into 1/5 on him earlier whilst odds against was still widely available. It would only take a couple of £20 bets for Corals to react like that, its a highly volatile market. All other bookmakers react to this a few hours later making him now odds on in most places. This is where Betfair comes in. People are now wanting to back Pearce as they have seen his odds tumble so they think its probably inside information therefore the people that originally caused his price to tumble can now "lay" at silly short prices for a job he may not have even applied for. Rince and repeat with a different manager in a few days time. Bristol City next manager market is relatively low key but for the big jobs you often get a multiple of managers that are traded at very short prices at various stages.

If you had met Steve Davis you would know he is infact hilarious. He always used to play the drab public image because it was just that an image.

I would only worry when people are trying to back him at about 1.5 (1/2) on Betfair Exchange. Then there's probably something in it. At the moment you can back him at 2/1 so don't worry (for now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 12 minutes ago, Charliesboots said: It appears to be getting worse....1/1 Bet Victor..... Don't worry. Some of those odds are far too long for there to be any inside information. When you get a dead cert (and a horse is never a dead cert like a manager is), what's the first thing you do? You lump all of the money you can get your hands on. When I got word of Cotts' sacking last Thursday I was frantically looking around for a market for it. I had 8k to put on it. But there wasn't a market so I couldn't. When you take into account that I wouldn't have been the only person to know and most of those people would have been looking to do the same, then you'll understand why the odds would tumble dramatically and quickly at all bookmakers. Factor in further that the people who will be first to know will be friends and family of Pearce and the club - a fair assumption that they're all relatively well off - then there'd instantly be a lot of money on him. The fact that evens is still available at evens and even 8/15 means there's no way he's signed. It's when the 1/10's start appearing across the board and they appear very quickly is when you have to worry. I'd say we're OK here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was a market for next Championship manager to be sacked, good luck getting £8k on it. £50 tops would be my guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dereks no1 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Great player but crap manager. It has been clearly highlighted that he runs out of ideas after 10 games and relies on set pieces for all his goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartockRed Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Some geezer wanted 2.5 (6/4) on betfair for Pearce to be named next manager. My 75 against this 50 he won't be. Surely we have better options... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Pearce isn't my choice...but you never know how someone to quote Mark Ashton might "fit Bristol City". my head is with someone like a Gary Monk or a Roberto Di Matteo. I did hear Danny Murphy mentioned too. Houllier used to say Murphy pestered him about tactics and management / coaching when he was in charge and Murphy was young. His punditry is a bit Hansen-esque, i.e. It's normally a defensive error type thing, but he does come across as pretty astute tactically. Can't see him wanting to come hear though.

Kingswood Village Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Personally I wouldn't have a problem with Pearce. I think forest are a bit of a basket case of a club (or they were during pearces reign). He is a warrior and someone that should have decent contacts. That appointment would please me far more than an Appleton or tisdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
