The other used to present Going Wild on BBC1 with Terry Nutkins.

Howard Kendall added on Betfair

Martin O'Neill added on Betfair.......

Yes - thats exactly my point. He moved to distance himself from it, put it that way. Yet he's still heavily backed. Usually a press story like that would cause odds to drift.

He is strangely short odds for someone who has all but come out and said he's not in the running. There must be more to it....

Coleman and Sturrock added at very short odds........... Damn you Cookiemonster!!!

T4E You need to take 1 off every price to work out the odds. So if it says Strachan 8.4, he is 7.4-1 Hughes is currently 2.8 so 1.8-1, virtually 7-4 reid is getting some support as well That'll do for me, thanks matey

Brownie - Is there a way to change the odds on Betfair from decimals to fractions?

Bryan - I think it was Garner.

I think you might have misplaced this -

Was going to say exactly the same Sam, nothing quite like dressing up an opinion as a statement of fact!!

imo Hughes could be disastrous. The biggest criticism of GS was that his tactical nous was poor as was his ability to manage and motivate his players s in dividuals, these qualities are absolutely imperative nowadays. Those abilities ...or lack of em constitute the biggest question marks over Hughes, especially the motivation cos by and large motivational skills are not required for managing minor international teams. Tried and tested candidates only please there is no room for sentiment. Halle-fricken-lujah. I love it when out of the blue someone just pops up and applies some sense to the arguement.

SkyBet have suspended betting on Hughes...............I still dont know what significance that holds. Damn you Cookie.

Erm, Glenn Hoddle We all have such high opinions of Glenda dont we?

Glen Hoddle?

Dowie is yet to appear on SkyBet...........cant be long now.

Hughes is now 2/1 with Skybet, and Advocaat is 4/1.

Advocaat won the Treble in his first season at Rangers and the Double in his second. They failed to win anything in his third and he left midway through his fourth. Hardly a complete disaster by any stretch. Although he did pay £12m for Tore Andre Flo

Haha

Here you go Sam (Mods, if this is a problem feel free to edit and accept my apologies ) - Blackburn supporters shed no tears at loss of manager By Oliver Kay ONCE the initial shock of Graeme Souness’s sudden departure had subsided, the overriding emotion at Blackburn Rovers yesterday was one of something approaching relief. This, after all, was the manager who had presided over the club’s slump over the previous 12 months and was “probably only two games from the sack anyway” — at least in the view of one of several unperturbed posters on a message board on the club’s official website. The Blackburn board did not attempt to stand in Souness’s way once they learnt of his desire to leave. Indeed, his departure — and a considerable compensation payout from Newcastle — may be viewed as a blessing in an unconvincing disguise. Souness might have left Blackburn in something of a predicament — one place off the bottom of the Barclays Premiership with just two points from their first four matches — but the job remains a desirable one. John Williams, the chief executive, talked of the club’s “financial stability” and “excellent squad” and will be confident of attracting a high-calibre replacement such as Mark Hughes, the Wales manager, or Gordon Strachan. For the moment, Tony Parkes, the long-serving coach, has been named caretaker manager for the sixth time. Hughes would perhaps be the more popular appointment for the club’s supporters. He spent the final months of his playing career at Blackburn and has since enhanced his reputation as a coach by taking Wales to the brink of qualification for last summer’s European Championship finals. It appears unlikely that the former Manchester United forward could be tempted to leave his post before Wales take on England in a World Cup qualifying match at Old Trafford on October 9. Should their qualification hopes suffer during the next month, his desire to enter club management may increase. “I think we probably will lose him (Hughes) sooner or later because clubs are bound to want him,” Craig Bellamy, the Wales forward, said. “But if we do lose him, hopefully it will be on a high — after the World Cup in 2006.”

Anybody got any links to anything on the matter this morning? Havent had a chance to scour the net yet.

Dont know if this has been posted before....... << Rovers Fans Shed No Tears For Souness >>

Erm...is it me you're looking for?

You must have been thinking about that joke All Night Long....

His dad threw up."
