    I’ll take that bet. £10 to a charity of the winners choice.

    Rightly so.

    If the clubs owners decide to take huge gamble with our premier league status then they deserve pressure.

    Haha haven’t moved goal posts at all you pedant! I said regardless of minutes and he’s scored 1 less than adams since he joined wolves. Fact

    I rather wish I hadn't listened to that. Allowing the team to decide tactics, playing an injured player against medical advice and making the "bold" move of switching systems to the one he wanted to start with originally. Yes I know it was with a paper thin squad with no money who he has worked wonders with but it's not like anything I've heard on any of the All Or Nothing shows!

    Wow you are a special one. Your quote:

    “I would put a bet that Costa scores more than adams or Armstrong this season. Regardless of minutes”

    And then you went on to only count Che’s goals since Costa joined ignoring those from before. Regardless of minutes means you count all of Che’s goals in all of the games he played. Discounting them is ignoring your own “regardless of minutes” statement.

    You may have *meant* something different. But it isn’t what you wrote. But you also called both of Che’s goals against Leicester “tap ins” which is just factually incorrect

    Check again greggers if it means that much to you. Pretty sure a total of 3 goals was mentioned in the same breath.
    If you’re going to quote you should quote the total, not just cherry pick to confirm that you are right. Guessing you work in the political sphere, or media?!

    It's probably worth dropping it now. He wasn't particularly clear in what he said but you get his gist. I think this comment is a bit unnecessary TBH in what is a friendly bet.

    What charity do you want? I’ll ping £10 now. You can do the same to children with cancer uk if Costa comes through at end of season.

    Not sure that's how bets work? But if you want to donate £10 to MacMillan before the bet is out, be my guest!

    Nothing like a bit of patience then. Unaware we've made an appointment yet!

    My takeaway from this was that he'll listen to the players (which seems to echo what I've read about his man management skills) and that he's not afraid to make a change when winning. Given they were one-nil up I think it's fair to say it was a 'bold' decision to switch tactics.

    Yeah, he's an odd interviewee, but what I took was that he recognised something that was occurring in-game and made immediate, bold changes. That's a good thing.

    The reaction when this gets announced is going to be glorious. I’ve already received around 50 messages of people laughing their heads off about it, hopefully I can save these and throw them back in their faces in 6 months time

    Well if he gets the gig he gets my support. If he can replicate his success at Luton with us this will become a very happy forum.
