Anthony Hudson

Every club has fans that moan about their manager you even get people on the radio moaning about klopp and pep

He's not my first choice aswell. Appleton is much better but I guess we'll see. Hopefully he's learnt from his time at West Brom.

Appleton is clearly a good coach but for me lacks certain qualities as a manager which for me Moore has...

West Brom fans told me Moore is tactically naïve. Brill.

All of them.?

Clearly not but everyone will have a different opinion..

Naive enough to get them to 4th in the championship..

So a few WBA supporters don’t rate him.
So what. Means absolutely nothing.

[Cramby10]

And those West Brom fans are experts are they? Jeez!!🙄
Some of the shite on here is laughable. Just back whoever we get for gods sake. There’s better qualified people than us mere mortals to make informed decisions.

[Nudga]

They sacked him and STILL didn't go up

A fan on footballforums.net told you he was made a few mistakes not that is tactically naive, every manager makes mistakes in games regardless of their qualities.

[RoversAlias]

Posh fans all said McCann couldn't quite put it together and many said they were fine with him being sacked. He did pretty well for us last season.

What Albion fans think is interesting but not always relevant, and certainly not always to be taken as gospel fact. If it is Moore, he comes here with his own ideas and with the experience of what he got wrong as well as right in his time at WBA. A young coach still growing and learning, which fits well with what the club ethos is.

It was the thread on there from when he was sacked they said he was tactically naïve. I mistook which thread I read it from, doesn't change anything though.

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

Explain then how Steve Evans was a big (pun intended) bookies favourite before the interviews, even though he’s publically denied any interest, which was confirmed on here by SM as being true..

I said solely based.

Why did Mccann become odds on favourite with SkyBet before his name was even mentioned anywhere. They knew he was being targetted for the job./

I've moaned slightly and he's not my first choice but if he does as good as McCann by playing good football, developing players and getting results then I'll quickly buy into him. Not everyone was excited about McCann when he first joined.

[NickDRFC]

Anthony Hudson rang a bell a bit so I looked him up - I recognised the name as he went from coaching at Spurs to Newport almost 10 years ago. When he joined, "He arrived with a "glittering reference" from Harry Redknapp, who likened him to "a young José Mourinho"" - that's the first red flag for me, a reference from 'Arry. Interesting CV after that but ultimately a dreadful record in his last job - I'm all for being open-minded but this guy's not for me.

Still I suppose it's a moot point given it looks like we've got DARREN MOORE, HE'S OUR MANAGOOOOOR!

[Bristol Red Rover]

Go to bed kids, Santa will come when he chooses.

He was operating at a much higher level with them though. He’s got to be given a chance to prove himself dropping back down the pyramid.

If you'd asked me in December 2007, I'd have said the same about O'Driscoll.

Let's be honest, the average fan knows shite all about tactics.

[DonnyOsmond]

Thing is it might not even be Moore.

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

I’m talking about the odds fluctuating..

When the odds for each candidate are going in and out like the f**king hokey-cokey, hoe does that reflect the bookies being in the know.??

Simple. It doesn't. They don't need to be 'in the know' to make money out of people who think they are.

I agree to some extent but they were certainly in the know regarding McCann to Hull.
There wasn’t even a whisper and he was odds on

If somebody lumps a large bet on it it's more than whisper as far as the bookies are concerned, the odds are going to alter whether the bet turns out to be a winning one or not.

I know, but what I mean is only the people who know McCann or work for hull would’ve placed that bet, so by default those bets were by only people in the know.

False logic. Approx 80% of bets (in money) are losing bets. There's plenty of idiots out there.

You know nothing about how bookies make up their markets.

Yes, money bet has a large part to play, but if you think these companies aren't clued up and don't have contacts passing them information, then you're very misguided.

[dickos1]

Exactly
But McCann was 8/13 at the bookies without him being mentioned anywhere.
So someone in the know put a bet on or the boooes found out themselves

It wasn’t a short price just because a load of chancers had randomly backed him

Mccann wasn't even in the market to bet on, then within an hour he was odds on. It was clear Sky Bet found out what was happening and he was a dead cert for the job.

[IDM]

Ok so the question about Evans’ earlier odds remains, when he hadn’t been interested in the job.

Either the bookies made it up, or someone’s leak was incorrect..

Either way it’s not an exact science is it.?

McCann was 33/1 on original sky bet odds remember someone winning a brilliant sum of cash last year when he was appointed

I don't doubt it and I never said they didn't - but as you confirm yourself, money plays the large part. That's the bottom line, they're a business.

You've missed out the third explanation. An idiot bet enough money to make the bookies change their odds. Nothing to do with inside knowledge or potential leaks, money talks pure and simple.

Were talking about McCann to hull though

Of course there are occasions when someone has just lumped on or even just spoken about on social media.
But sometimes it’s because they know

[IDM]

I get that, and there will be leaks - I’m not that naive to think otherwise.

But there have been so many names in and out of the odds this time that the knowledge is questionable at least..
