David Flitcroft 2-9 with skybet

[Donny Viking]

Just gone clear favorite for the job - has something leaked out the camp?

[Dare to dream!]

Ahhh f**k sake. What a nightmare.

[ian1980]

Still doesn’t really tell us anything substantial though.

If they aren’t even interviewing till Monday/Tuesday the best anybody would probably know is that he is shortlisted and is having an interview.

His name has been frequently spoken about on here, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if he has been but that is obviously still along way from being appointed and a lot will depend on how the candidates interview

[DonnyOsmond]

Interviews aren't till Monday so maybe it's just been confirmed to someone that he's got an interview and some people have gone in big?

No, it's because somebody's dumped a load of money on him. That's why bookmaker's change their odds, to mimimise the chance of them losing money and maximise their chance of making money, not by how likely something actually is.

Why’s some lumped money on him? Because they know something.

You're sort of right but not.

Really? And what could someone possibly know before any interviews that would make someone dump so much money on Flitcroft to make the odds on him 9/2 ON to get the job??

And if it's not because someone's dumped a load of money on him, what could the bookies possibly know either??

[IDM]

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

[Dare to dream!]

I would imagine he’s got an interview. The Bolton thing was too long ago to fuel this price change.

Flitcroft would be a bad appointment but he may be the best of a bad bunch. Maybe we’re kidding ourselves thinking Moore/Appleton are interested.

He would be a Dickov like appointment where the majority of fans don’t want him from the get go.

Not if an idiot's read it, believed it...and dumped a load of money on him thinking it's a sure thing. Which would make the bookies change their odds without it making it one iota more likely that Flitcroft will get the job.

[DRNaith]

Would make for an interesting poll

[GazLaz]

The fact he’s gone odds on shows he’s definitely got an interview more that he’s definitely getting the job.

That isn't the only reason odds change.

[dickos1]

No,
But what else can it be when the interviews haven’t even taken place?
A good bet now would be one of the others

[dickos1]

I would be very surprised if we appointed him, the board described the applicants as high calibre and exciting.
Not words you would use to describe him

[WSBBA_Ben]

Dickov Part Deux.

[Boomstick]

How the f**k is he on the short list? Never mind getting an interview!!

[vaya]

There's nothing to say he's on the shortlist, or has an interview.

[CantleyRed]

It could just be the Bookies being clever trying to attract punters who see the odds and think it's a done deal. I would agree he must be on the list but definitely not anything more than that.

[nortikorner]

fake news just making abook

[Copps is Magic]

He talks a bit bluntly which doesn't make him sound like a footballing genius, but there's some things on his CV which aren't too shabby (Kept Barnsley up, Promotion with Bury, good finish with Swindon, then nearly got promotion with Mansfield). I'm not sure why people are dismissing him out of hand.

[Dare to dream!]

He had a huge budget with Mansfield and failed to get promoted hence his sacking.

[NickDRFC]

How someone comes across in interviews doesn’t really bother me - SOD was hardly inspiring and McCann often said stuff that was contradictory or cringeworthy.

I think people are put off by how Flitcroft has just been sacked by a team in the league below but if you look at the bigger picture like Copps is Magic has, his track record isn’t bad. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him join us and wouldn’t be too disappointed either. The name that most people are championing is a guy with about 8 months experience of management who was sacked despite his team being in the playoffs, with few fans of that team being disappointed at his leaving. If the roles were reversed and Darren Moore’s name was David Flitcroft and he’d never played for us I’m sure we would be having an entirely different conversation.

[phil old leake]

I’d be very disappointed

[since-1969]

If we get then we ultimately get Keith Hill and that’s not worth the risk !!

[Alan Southstand]

How much experience did McCann have?

More I look at the runners and riders, Flitcroft wouldn’t even be on the shortlist!

Darren Moore for me and closely followed by Robinson, that’s if either are shortlisted.

[Chris Black come back]

No idea how good or bad he is - but what is true is that his career as a manager has been going backwards. Started in the Championship with Dingles, then League One with Bury, then last two jobs in League Two.

[dijit8]

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)

 

[Colemans Left Hook]

anyone recall sod 1/10 for the Burnley job and Dickov 5/2 for the sheff wednesday give em a ring and ask what price he is NOT to get the job

I can predict his team every week  11 human beings every week

of course the  bookies  "crookies" read all these posts.
