Vincent Vega Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Take no notice of this.Our own board don't have a clue who to appoint so the bookies are as much in the dark as the rest of us ...well played Bristol Sport well played.

redfred Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Why are people getting wound up by the bookies' odds on the next manager? It isn't linked to SL's mobile and the number of times he's called each potential candidate; it's linked to the general public and the amount of money and bets placed on each of those names, so you're outrage should be directed towards the strange folk that think Warnock has a very good chance of being our next permanent manager, not our board.

Webzcas Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Probably to do with the fact however small the market, bookies are a good gauge. Add to the fact other than an interview with Ashton, nothing has been forthcoming from the boardroom. lets face it, it doesn't look good at this point in time.

ashton_fan Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 It's either going to be Pemberton or Pemberton/Warnock, nobody else is either available, wants the job, or is wanted by the Board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Wait till tomorrow to see who then gets their turn as favourite for the job Pemberton will obviously be up there as its getting closer and closer to 10 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know the board don't have a clue. Sure recent past suggests that and probably I am expecting far too much but I am clinging to the hope that recent events may have led to some cathartic insight of the need to really step up in their thinking. Either Ashton is just going to continue the small town thinking or encourage the board to really go for top quality in managers and players. Have to wait and see but certainly big things need to happen and they need to happen soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to the fact other than an interview with Ashton, nothing has been forthcoming from the boardroom. lets face it, it doesn't look good at this point in time. Bookies are a good gauge of what people know and what people think they know. If there's inside information then clearly it's going to be skewer the odds but, if there's no inside information, it doesn't work the same way. Ultimately the fact there's very strong odds on two managers when only one of them can get the job suggests there's no clear information emerging. All I'd read from this at the moment is that the board haven't made a decision or shortlisted managers yet and, in the absence of that, people are expecting Pemberton to potentially reach ten games (or perhaps until the end of the season). Meanwhile a lot of people have put money on Warnock as he's available. It might be the board, after our Boro performance, thought (as many on here, including myself did) there was no rush to appoint if Pemberton was getting good performances from the team. It might also be that, after Leeds, the board have decided they should start checking through those CVs. Or it might be Pemberton does get it on a temporary basis. But those odds are not sufficient for me to suggest any level of inside knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southvillekiddy Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 The bookies odds are an irrelevance unless there is solid information. SL could get Nigel Pearson if he wanted to. It's not the same situation as getting a player where there are many factors involved as regards the attractiveness of BCFC. Pearson would become our manager if the deal is right. He's said as much on BBC Radio. The situation remains unchanged as regards SL. Is he is willing to surrender control to someone who really knows about football and really knows how to take us to the Premiership? What I truly hope won't happen again this time is the "Board" (what a laugh) appoint Pemberton (for whom I have great respect as a seemingly honest hard-working bloke) and then try and tell us the usual b***ocks that he was the outstanding candidate in an outstanding field.

He's said as much on BBC Radio. The situation remains unchanged as regards SL. Is he is willing to surrender control to someone who really knows about football and really knows how to take us to the Premiership? Steve Coppell was someone who really knew about football and how to get teams promoted and he was an utter disaster for us. Malky Mackay knew how to get teams promoted from the Championship and took Wigan down. Paul Jewell was the man who originally got Wigan promoted and never really succeeded elsewhere. Ditto Brian McDermott and Nigel Adkins have strugged to replicate earlier success. Ian Holloway too. I'm not saying Pearson would be a bad appointment but I am saying we need to get away from this idea that appointing someone who got a club promoted at a different club in different circumstances is the guaranteed way to succeed. Let's not forget Leicester were a big spending Championship club who were able to financially compete with and out-muscle most of the division. We don't know if Pearson could succeed here in the same way. Perhaps he could and perhaps he couldn't but the biggest name isn't always the right manager.

Abraham Romanovich Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Clearly the way forward is for SL to have a crafty £200k on Nigel Pearson at 18-1 winning £3.6million offering said NP a deal at say £3million (he'd bite his hand off for this) so every one's a winner. It's this lack of progressive thinking which is holding this club back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are saying it is not true that Bristol City Football Club make the footballing decisions? It is in fact the commercial arm, Bristol Sport? I mean I can see how they have a vested interest in the success of the team, but actual footballing decisions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the two businesses, naturally, overlap. Where 'strong' personalities feel like pushing their weight around, from Bristol Sport into Bristol City affairs, weaker-minded individuals might wilt and they can influence things which are little to do with their remit. Short of naming names, that's pretty much the long and short of it. It's not necessarily a bad thing, people who can manipulate other people have always ended up with a huge amount of influence at football clubs far larger than ours.
