    Best off if he came back to us then, Moyes is new at the job and needs people like Pearson to do him a favour.

    Maybe he's at a club whose ambitions match his own - now where have I heard that before? :D

    Don't you just love the bookies? They've got square head as 2nd favourite to be sacked - but they've also got you as one of the favourites for promotion! They can't have it both ways - or are they saying they think you've got a better chance of going up if you get rid of Nigel?

    After 10 games one of those odds will get longer, lets hope its the sacking one <ok>

    Its defiantly going to be one or the other, so the bookies are prob about right.

    makes sense - we are one of the favourites to go up, so if we start bad then the manager will be one of the favourites to go. One of the teams may be favourite to go down but if its expected eg yeovil then the manager is unlikely to go

    Maybe its because the bookies put very little of their personal opinions into deciding the odds.

    Its just a numbers game to make sure they make money regardless of the outcome.

    Managers have to be sacked in the championship because about 15 teams expect the top 6!!

    After one week the latest odds show Tony Mowbray the new clear fav and Nigel Pearson drifting to 7/1. Interesting that Oscar Garcia is cut from 28/1 to 14/1 in a week.

    4/1 Paul Ince
    6/1 Lee Clark
    7/1 Nigel Pearson
    10/1 Paul Dickov
    11/1 Mick McCarthy
    12/1 Dave Jones
    12/1 David Flitcroft
    14/1 Harry Redknapp
    14/1 Oscar Garcia
    16/1 Sean Dyche
    16/1 Brian McDermott
    18/1 Steve Lomas
    20/1 Gary Bowyer
    25/1 Billy Davies
    25/1 Chris Powell
    33/1 Gianfranco Zola
    33/1 Mark Robins
    33/1 Owen Coyle
    40/1 Nigel Adkins
    40/1 Nigel Clough

    Mowbray definitely under pressure after losing two at home - especially getting dumped out the cup to Accrington ... Nigek will feel that the Sword Of Damacles has at least been sheathed temporarily ....

    I'll say he'll go 7 games, winning once and he'll be sacked.
