Oh sorry ...a jinxer of bets. I think my Solskjaer bet is lost - he always seems to pull a win out when he most needs it
My Birmingham supporting pal says their fans want Karanka out after only a few months in charge. Very negative boring football is the common view. Karanka has now failed at 3 relatively big English Championship clubs - it’s amazing how these people keep getting jobs ? (In his case, it’s because of José Mourinho).
Chris Wilder at Sheffield United was about 33/1 at the start of the season to win the Sack Race. There’s every chance now he’s going to **** my bet.
Maybe TS can sign Wilder if Sheffield United sack him. And please, can CL posters not upset CW this time? According to Roland that's why we didn't get him in the summer of 2016
Manchester United knocked out of the Champion's League - outclassed by RB Leipzig https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55219522 They entertain Man City this weekend at Old Trafford. So no pressure there OGS If United get a 4 or 5 goal caning, will he be fired? Personally I don't mind. Watching the long term decline of Manyoo has been one of the pleasures of the last few seasons. They've become one of those teams whose only aim is 4th place Their owner seems happy enough with that.
Just checking my Sack Race bets. Potential pay outs as follows - Graham Potter £510 (£10 at 50/1) OGS £325 Slaven Bilic £160 With Edu declaring that Mikel Arteta is safe this season, the fly in the custard is Chris Wilder at Sheff Utd. You could have had 33/1 at the start of the season. Today he is 5/2 I’m still hoping that the hapless OGS will be fired over the Xmas period. Pochettino won’t wait forever.
Sadly the bet applies to the Premier League only. Looking at the Millwall Twitter feed, it’s clear that Gary Rowett-Nil is on borrowed time. How deluded the Millwall fans are, including @TC (Lovely Geezer) They suppprt a club with the third lowest budget in the league and who can barely attract 10,000 gates.
Y Which will land you £160 if I'm not mistaken. But how many £10 bets did you put down? Just asking for a friend who might try this next season...
Fair question .... I have staked about £142 in total on OGS, Potter & Bilic. So it will be a small profit if Bilic goes first.
but you are sweating on Wilder ..... personally, because of his history at the Blades I think he would be given time staying even if they get relegated.... bit like Bow did.
There has not been a single credible rumour about Wilder getting the sack, and I monitor such matters closely The tragedy of this bet is that it’s a matter of ‘when, not if’ for hapless little Solskjær.
Houdini Solskjaer pulls out a win or two whenever he's on the verge of getting sacked. Very frustrating.
