Can I just clarify something on bookies, I know we post they have made him the favorite, or they have moved him out.
But after they set the initial odds, dont they base it on the bets made, so its not really the bookies, its people placing bets that change the odds?

I know all of that MJG I was just keeping people upto date

[Dr Know]

Twig  for your information ive been watching ffc since 1966  over 1000 games at 139 grounds so i think i know what im talking about

Oh no I wasn't having a go, its just I keep reading here and elsewhere the bookies have it this way or that, but just reflecting us poor saps really ;-)

[MJG]

Clark was great for us and how anyone can call him a negative or sideways player I just dont understand.

[westcliff white]

I know you weren't having a pop, think we have both been on this board long enough to know when the other is having a pop LOL.

I read an article recently which gave the names of those supposedly under consideration saying that they'd been "mentioned in connection with the job". They'd all been mentioned on here and it occurred to me that our speculation/wishful thinking might be the sole source of that mention! Real news seems to be non-existent as the club is really keeping this one close.

[Holders]

He was all heart and commitment as a player. With Clark what you saw was what you got.

So, if the bookies odds reflect the monies being bet on each candidate, can I suggest that we all put a couple of pounds on MJG today and by this evening he'll be the odds on favourite to be the new Fulham manager :-)

Tigana with Lee Clark or Tigana with John Collins

Or Tigana with Murphy.
In fact Tigana with almost anyone, even Tigana with Kit.

Can I sign my own players and bring in my own staff?

What about Stuart Pearce??

[Neil D]

What about Stuart Pearce??

No thanks.  I know he's the polar opposite of Symons when it comes to showing some emotion on the pitch but...

[sunburywhite]

All the bookies do is balance the books

They don't have wild guesses about who it will be but if a load of money comes in for one person they will lower the price on that to maintain their profit margin

Yes, but I should consider it a short term project!

I'd very much look forward to his 5-5-0 or 4-6-0 formations

[Chutney]

I'm bored.

[rusty shackleford]

so, Curbs on Saturday then?

[f321ffc]

When Kit was sacked i really thought that yesterday would be the day the new man would be  announced as i was convinced someone was lined up , the longer this goes on the more convinced i am that Rigg has #ucked up again and if no new man by Saturday then my fears will be confirmed.

I wouldn't say that Rigg has ###### up, but I agree with you that I expected us to have announced a new manager by now.
