  • Still no "next Charlton manager" market available on Oddschecker website.

    In this massive pot of conspiracy theories, rumours from sources, unsourced rumours, rumours from dubious sources, unconfirmed sightings, tip-offs, bookies rapidly shortening odds, bookies rapidly lengthening odds and bookies not taking bets anymore, I don't know what to think or what is going on.

    Have decided I'd be well happy with Sir Chris, he must have learnt a few tips from Curbs, Sven, Aidy Boothroyd and Peter Taylor amongst others. Won't be him then.
  • [quote][cite]Posted By: jazzyjazzyjazzy[/cite]Would I be correct in thinking that Powell would get alot more faces back to The Valley!?[/quote]

    I think you are, jjj.
  • [cite]Posted By: Plaaayer[/cite]Just reopened on Skybet.

    I was typing while that happened! Still none the wiser though.
  • And let's hope we stay none the Wiser....

    Have we even asked permission from Leicester to speak to Sir Chrissie?

  • Hope I get more people then 14, a little low at the moment.

    Agreed that people may be playing the market to get better odds on Johnson, but SCP is still at 1/8 on with GJ as second favourite (3/1), the rest including Wise and Curbs are slipping back.
    1/8 on is a huge frontrunner, surley the bokkies would be looking for betting patterns so thye dont get 'burnt' if a 2nd favourite came in, to guard against this they could have shortened GJ to evens? Just a thought/question to those more in the know on betting.
  • Has ANYTHING happend to suggest we may be speaking to SCP, or is this all based on the fact skybet slashed their odds to 1/8 - which could just be done to get people to put money on him - would be very excited if we managed to get Sir Chris back.

    If the board are seriously concerned with how to get bums on seats down the valley, this is certainly one way.

    GJ just shortened to 6/4......must have been your £5 Scoham!!!!
  • We can all be confident it isn't Wise right? Surely it would have been all completed now if it was.

    [cite]Posted By: supaclive[/cite]Scoham - Peterborough are above us in the league ...
    They weren't when Parky was sacked.

    Peterboro have now played the same number of games as us .......

    Anyway 6 points from automatics or 6 points from 18th proves what a wanky league this is and how wank our position really is and the same for johnson....... But how long had johnson been at p'boro? nowhere near as long as parky at charlton

    I'd love powell and think whoever we get is a punt and sometimes you just gotta gamble ...... He who dares rodney , he who dares .......

  • My theory about Wise is this.

    The new board is friends with Wise right, so before sacking Parky they would surely have sounded Wise out about taking the job. They wouldn't sack PP and then turn to Wise and say fancy it?

    In conclusion IMHO if Wise was going to be manager here would have been here by now.

    You got to be correct... And maybe it was always going to be Wise, but they had a look around on CL and realised that below 5% would want him in and decided to go with our wishes? or am I totally wrong with this?
  • Inexperienced former legend becomes manager - never works, just ask Beckebauer !!!!

    Yes, I'm sure no important decisions are made before CL has been checked.....

    haha, I guess i'm wrong then.

  • The betting market for this has just been ridiculous. It seems anything more than a tenner is enough to take you into odds on
  • [quote][cite]Posted By: oldbloke[/cite]Inexperienced former legend becomes manager - never works, just ask Curbs !!!![/quote]

    Curbs was never a legend before being manager
  • Why hasn't the Leicester Mercury got a sappy blogger following Sir Chris around all day, telling us what colour socks he is wearing and what he's having for lunch? Hopeless...
  • [cite]Posted By: jazzyjazzyjazzy[/cite]We can all be confident it isn't Wise right? Surely it would have been all completed now if it was.

    On the contrary this is all a charade and Little Dennis will ride in on his white charger to rescue us as we couldn't get anybody else.....

    The longer it goes on the more likely it will be Wise I reckon...

    Yeah they're wearing us all down emotionally so in the end we are grateful for our saviour (Dennis, tonight Matthew I'm going to be Charlton manager, Wise)!!

    Do you really think they care about what we think that much ???
  • If Chris Powell were to come to us and fail as a manager can you really see him holding out for his contract to paid up? Imo, he's an honourable man and would put the club first before lining his pockets. I would love him as our manager.

    Why hasn't Newshopper or the SLP got a Blog with reporters outside Sparrows Lane and the Valley keeping us updated with comings and goings and the occasional quote?
