I think I will have some of that 12/1 on Keith Millen, he seems to be making a bit of a pigs ear of things in Bristol.

 

Kieth Millen at 12/1 does look good.

Not sure why Sven is as short as 11/1. His job will be safe if we loose every game because he is good PR in Thailand which is what the owners want

 

I agree it would have to be pretty disastrous for us to get rid of Sven.

 

past records probably. under mandaric our club got rid of a lot of managers if underperforming. just our current club reputation. Rather than sack i imagine they would just back with more money!!!

 

I suppose it's clever from the bookies.


Other fans will look at our 'reputation' and think that sven won't get much time considering he has to let his team gel.

I bet they will make a few bob from it

 

IF VR sacked SGE who would he get to replace him bering in mind the players he has got in & the money he has spent ?
These are stupid odds & I don´t look to much in to them. SGE will get us in the to 6 no probs, I´ll admit it will be a fight to finish in the top 2 but we have a good, big squad so I guess we´ll have to wait & see. Good start though.

"COME ON LEICESTER, COME ON LEICESTER"

 

My bet would be on Darren Ferguson. He hasn't got a good record at this level

 

The owners wont sack Sven. The earliest Sven will leave is at the end of the season when his contract expires

 

I think Keith Millen, Steve McClaren and Simon Grayson would be the best bet to win the sack race. Anyone of them

 

Exactly my thoughts

 

Yep Keith Millen for me looks to be on the go...Hollowhead has been very public recently about the lack of funding especially after they recieved so much cash from being promoted and the Charlie Adam deal - so problems may be brewing there!

 

Peterborough have said that they won't rush into sacking Ferguson again so if they did get rid of him, it probably wouldn't be until Feb time and they'd have to be doing very badly for them to do it then. My money is also on Millen - fortunate to get the job in the first place and doesn't look astute enough for a manager.

 

I think it works the other way with SGE - he gets fed up and walks away - doesn't have a clue how to finish a job.......

I think Sven has a reputation in the moronic media which he doesn't deserve.

He has only left one job for another job. This being Lazio for England which he says he couldn't turn down. He left Notts County after it turned out he had been duped only after he had worked there for several months on zero pay. Ask Notts County fans about him, they haven't a bad word to say about him.

He has left all his other jobs either because he was sacked or because a temporary contract came to an end.

So for me, he stands out as an example of a loyal and principled manager amongst many others who cannot claim the same.

 

I think Sven is very loyal. As said he has only left one job in his career. Sven seems very happy here and has said if the owners offered him a new contract he would be more then happy to sign

 

Following Hull's dismal start to the season, I reckon Pearson might be worth a shot

 

I think Keith Millen, Steve McClaren and Simon Grayson would be the best bet to win the sack race. Anyone of them


Deffo McClown! Sven is safe. Full stop

 

if the chav get taken over...thorn is a dead man................

 

Mr Fallen - can you clear things up? Are you or are you not John Fallen? Or did you used to be! If you are and also used to be, then please let us know how the schizo treatment is going!

 

LCFC will be in the top 6 (after game 6) all season & that is no reason to sack your manager.
I say after game 6 because that´s when the lge table starts to take shape & there is a reasonable sign of what may happen in the npower.

SG (Leeeeeds) may be a good bet, as my SMc of Trees.
