nzlatic Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 5 minutes ago, Midsblue said: Alan Nixon laughed it off a few seconds ago on Twitter. Wouldn’t put 10p on it apparently. 1/20 is mad odds and normally reflecting the bookies knowing something Someone asked him if he had anything on it and he said "Not even 10p sadly". Think 10p is his running joke or something. So rather than him laughing it off, it seems like he's saying it's a shame he hadn't backed it. Don't think I've ever seen a manager market go to 1/20 and then them not get the job. But also it closes quite quickly after going so short. And for there to be no rumours out in the media at all? All seems very strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Betting peeps. Could a few dozen bets at £50 quid (ie loads following the favourite) move it to 1/20 in low volume bet like Oldham Manager Market or would it literally take £1000's? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleetwood Blue Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Could be a two or three £100+ wagers and no money being bet elsewhere in the market..does anyone actually know if he’s even had an interview Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midsblue Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 The weird thing is the lack of posts from local media. Normally if it’s sensational but total bollocks then they’re quick to discredit it. Bill Rice has said “watch this space”. Alan Nixon cryptic with his bet post. Why do I get the feeling that people close to Scholes and club are keeping this closely under wraps and therefore more likely to be true than not.

Cheers It normally depends who is betting, it would take significant amounts to move in to 1/20 though or they are privvy to information that's not out there, in my opinion they have probably got wind that it won't be Wild and altering the market accordingly.

LightDN123 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 We reckon this is true then ? Because the idea of Scholes managing Oldham ticks a lot of boxes for me. 1. Most importantly he’s a fan of the club. 2. Most fans will back him 3. He will have more chance of getting backing from AL due to his reputation. 4. Players will listen and respect him 5. Connections within the game 6. Media coverage for the club Get Scholes in, with a good team, let’s get up the table Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have no idea, I would imagine it would take some serious money to move it. Having said that, how many people are betting on the next oldham manager...
