New Head Coach

[Confucius]

I can give you 3 good reasons he would improve us.
Young, will fit in with our way of thinking 2. and a bit aggressive what we need, 3. He don't suffer fools. Unlike Beal. Fighting with your own keeper, who appointed him????

Bob man with all due respect shurrup about Heckingbottom and any of your mates getting the gig.

The fact Norwich and Watford were nowhere near kind of shots on the argument that those odds were the best shout a little bit too..:

Surely the betting odds are subject to factors beyond football too. Like who people are putting the most money on. That's surely going to skew things to some extent.

 

[alcoauth]

My point is they were one of the favourites to get promoted, had one of the most expensively assembled squads so it wasnt a shock that they got promoted was it?

Everyone who knows football knew they would be challenging for the title with the squad they had, which is my point

Are you saying based on the squad they had he over achieved the yr they got promoted? If you say yeah then fair enough but i dont think they did

What I'm saying is the odds had them finishing in the playoffs, mostly 4th or 5th, bookmakers are in the business of extracting as much cash as possible from punters so however they compile their metrics will be as thorough as their Switzerland/Barbados based CEO demands it to be.

Under that metric, which is the best one available, they exceeded expectations by finishing 2nd and getting automatic promotion, avoiding the lottery of the playoffs.

Perhaps we are quibbling over the weight of the term "exceeding", I'm not saying they were expected to be battling relegation and beat untold odds to fire themselves into 2nd, I'm saying they beat the margins, which is what success is about 99% of the time.

Aye. The truest guide is knowing your game I’d suggest.

We all had Burnley on here.

 

[Wayne the Punk]

are they normally reliable? I assume not if people call them a bot

Usually just cuts and pastes info from other sites for clicks. Once they move from that they havnt got a clue

Another day without a head coach - what on earth is going on

Odds will change based on various things tho, including the number of bets placed on each team

I get what you are saying, and we are likely quibbling over what is classed as exceeding

The bottom line is i wouldnt want him as our manager, dont feel he is a manager to kick us on at all but thats just my opinion

 

[Yorkie]

Can someone else try explain this to him, please?

I’m surprised either of you care that much. Sorry.

And that is absolutely fine mate, we can like and not like whomever we want, but Higginbottom did a job for them.

Aye that’s the be all end all.

I just don’t think he is even close to a fit for what we need. Gotta be honest I’m really struggling for who is.

The whole Still thing even is it a bit Hollywood? The hope is he is Potter 2.0

If we got Potter like Swans/Brighton results from here we’d be running.

I didnt say he didnt, i said it was an achievement to go up - i just dont rate him at all

They’re doing everything they can, apparently…

 

[alcoauth]

I feel like I've justified my point and we can move on.

 

[Hudson92]

Anyway, that Will Still would be canny…

 

[LD19SAFC]

Steve Cooper the new favourite for the Leicester job.

 

[Nads]

Shouldn’t we be announcing Rigg contract about now to calm some nerves…

 

[Southern A]

Echo saying Chris Rigg is delaying his contract decision until he knows who the Head Coach is.

They've been pretty steadfast in saying he's staying so that's a concern.

Feels like a big downgrade from Maresca.

 

[Southern A]

he's not 17 for a couple of weeks

 

[Nads]

he's not 17 for a couple of weeks

Ahh makes sense.
