Brendan Rogers even money to be sacked

I doubt anyone will think it harsh. I often wonder what managers who have spent decades learning their trade think when some clueless clown gets a gig in the top flight just because they happened to have been an average footballer once upon a time. when they then prove they are utterly incompetent and then get another go, it's even more baffling .
 
Dick Advocaat has fucked me over twice this year. He seems like a nice bloke and I have nothing against him personally but at the same time I FUCKING HATE THE CUNT

When he first took the Sunderland job near the end of last season I layed him on Betfair as low as 1.1, this was before people realised that the Betfair rules meant he had to complete 10 games in charge - there were only 9 games left of the season so this meant that he had to be in charge at the start of this season for him to be confirmed as the next permanent manager. This looked highly unlikely for several reasons, not least that he made it abundantly clear on many occasions that he had no intentions whatsoever of abandoning his retirement plans and staying for any longer than the short term contract he had signed. Also, if Sunderland went down (which looked likely) there's no way in the world he would manage in the Championship.

Add to that the fact that his wife didn't want him to take the job, that he clearly didn't need the money, and that it would be a ridiculous signing anyway as at his age he wouldn't be able to commit long term, which is clearly the type of manager Sunderland needs. Also, he has no experience whatsoever of managing a team in a relegation fight - everywhere he's been he's had a ready-made team of winners or National teams so again, totally the wrong type of manager needed to try and get shit footballers playing a bit better to achieve mid-table mediocrity.

Anyway, he quickly drifted after people began to realise all of these and soon he was odds against (3/1 I think), and his odds stayed there until Sunderland survived the drop (very fortuitously) and then he started saying that he had fallen in love with club and that he might change his mind. I still didn't think he'd be stupid enough to take it (why potentially ruin going out on a high?) and I stood my ground as I had a cracking book as long as he turned the job down. A loss of £280 if he took it, a profit of between £100 and £800 if he didn't (most of the other fancied candidates were +£300 or more, all the unlikely outsiders were +£100).

I went on holiday to Turkey at the end of the season and was waiting in the airport for him to make his decision so I could green up, the daft old cunt waited until the next day to say he wasn't taking the job. I couldn't use Betfair in Turkey so had to leave it, even though Advocaat was now trading at 500 on Betfair. Got back home at around 5am but didn't feel the desperate need to get my quid on as let's face it, no-one expected him to do a u-turn. Got some sleep then went on the Betfair to stick a quid on him at several hundred to one only to see the old cunt trading at evens :eek:

Obviously word was out that he had changed his mind and I had to sit and watch his odds tumble down to 1.01 :ohwell So because of my holiday I missed out on £500 for a quid not once but twice, I needed him to turn the job down a day earlier or change his mind a few hours later.

Then this week I layed him as short as 1.1 for next manager to go, only lost £30 but had he just waited a few hours until Rodgers had been sacked then I'd have recouped a chunk of my previous losses (£200ish).

FUCKING OLD CUNT :rant
 
Well Seen , when you put it like that , its hard to disagree with you.
 
Lol @ Seen, unlucky m8.
I was actually thinking yesterday some buggers going to be mighty fcuked off with the first manager to go market, considering both went within hrs of each other.

Aye, fine lines sometimes but enjoy your winnings mate :thumb

I'd still do both bets again because both times the odds were far too short for their true odds.

Just small stakes at the minute, have layed Allardyce as I don't think he wants it, I've also layed Pearson but am now regretting it as he's shortened up and I think he's the type they'll be going for.

The club is run by idiots, anything can happen.
 
LOL Believe me chaps, if you knew how much bad luck I had yesterday, you know I've got nothing to gloat about. Well, I say bad luck but really just my own fucking stupidity. I was having a lovely afternoon thinking how well my bets were doing when it suddenly struck me - you know that feeling in the pit of your stomach when you think .....oh fuck, no!..... - I hadn't put my bastard bets on! I shit you not, six out of the seven bets that I'd written down to place yesterday morning came in and I'm thinking "you know something, I can't remember which bookie I put that bet on with".... and then...."In fact I don't actually remember putting it on come to think about it"....and then.... "fucking hell, I haven't put any of them on!". The only bet I actually put on was the bet365 in running bet on the Arsenal game where I backed the draw with the intention of putting the in running bet on Arsenal once they'd kicked off. I went to back Arsenal and the price had gone to odds on - fuck that, I thought, I'll wait until it goes out to evens.

So I apologise for enjoying my brief moment of respite but if Brendan had gone first and then old Aardvark had left hours later I might have had to have launched myself head first out of the bedroom window!
 
I didn't realise Sherwood had bought so many players from France, you'd think looking at Newcastle would have kicked that train of thought into touch.
If you do get Rodgers also expect a load of Liverpool rejects.
 
Sherwood leaves Villa. Not surprising - bloke's a fucking clown.

Rodgers anyone?

Possibly. Nigel Pearson another. Both look big prices at present. 10/1 & 16/1.

I'm not getting involved with a bet but these two have Premier League experience and would not cost Lerner/Villa a penny, in terms of compensation etc.

Pearson did a great job of getting Leicester going on a long unbeaten run last season. It's fair to say he put them there, but the escape was a good one and this could be a short term or permanent fix that Villa need. He's seen it before.
