blueharmie Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 Lennon has history with us. No way he should replace np but I hope he will be a bit like Mon when he first came here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Horse's Mouth Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 Noticed the odds have dropped on Steve Cotterill. He's probably better than Lennon but also not ready for the premier league. Out of interest who would you rather have, Cotterill or Lennon. that's like asking me if I'd prefer Cancer or Ebola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artursteppe Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 So why was Pearson favourite to be the first Premier League manager to get the sack for the last two or three weeks when Pearson was so good and had done so well with second best form rating in the Premier League over the last ten games. Why, it's all because the betting companies know nothing, of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alf Bentley Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 Lennon has history with us. No way he should replace np but I hope he will be a bit like Mon when he first came here. For a split second, I read "Mon" as "Moon" there, and thought that we might be appointing Keith Moon (late Who drummer) as manager. He'd be as good an appointment as some mentioned, as would the Reverend Sun Myung Moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hack Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 seems to be lennon's to lose now I'm hearing. as much as i loved him as a player i do not rate him as a manger in any sense. he won the SPL....with celtic...not hard really. He beat Barcelona is the only string i can see in his bow. he is untested in the premier league. he hasn't worked miracles with Bolton. How can we even be thinking about hiring him? we should be looking for premier league tried and tested and sparing no expense to stay in this league and push on if that's what the owners want and make ourselves a worldwide brand (which will make them richer.) Only name that springs to mind is big sam and i can't stand him! there is no one on this list i would want! So name a manager with Premier League experience who doesn't have a job that you would accept? Anyone please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom27111 Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 Everyone said that when Pearson's odds plummeted. 5/1 to 1/10 is plummeting. 2/1 to 10/11 isn't. So name a manager with Premier League experience who doesn't have a job that you would accept? Anyone please? Why do they have to be out of work?

Hack Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 If they've binned Pearson and don't get someone top notch in then this will become an almighty farce. The only marginally decent shout of the humdrum candidates is Allardyce. But we need better to push us on. Lennon would be a joke. Great player and decent bloke, but not the man for us. If the Thai's have made a moral stand with Pearson and truly want to see us as a European challenging club then they need to seriously dust off their wallets and make a top manager an offer he can't refuse. Anything less will be the sort of statement of intent none of us want to see. Who do you want? reasonably who of note and PL success will take the job who isn't employed. I love all this if they don't get a recognise super coach, but I ask who is acceptable that will take the job? Not one available manager is going to get acceptance from the fans. By the way the same group of fans who wanted Nigel gone in January are the ones going apoplectic about him being sacked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poznan34 Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 I don't see why the owners would go for Lennon. More likely than Pearson to get involved in touchline spats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaelicFox Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 If he was our manager it'd be 1/10 or suspended. Just look at Tuesday when Pearson left. There was no gradual 2/1 into 6/4 into 11/10 then touching odds on. That type of market move is just balancing the book due to bets being placed. Bookies knew nige was off, he went 5/1--->1/10. Bookies get bets placed on Lennon, so he goes 2/1--->6/4---->1/1 etc. Spot on and VC bet laid a whopper so they will be balancing , a few have laid 4 figure bets today from contacts in gAme , it's knowledge money for sure but know banker inside knowledge I SUSOECT as like you say would be shut shop already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ealingfox Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 It would be ludicrous to replace Pearson with Lennon, and yes he will either take us down or get sacked for Allardyce (if still available) before Xmas, but its a bit harsh criticising his poverty Bolton side considering Freedman signed many of them and theyre about 200 million quid in the hole. Not as if he had much to work with in January, and he did take over a dreadful side bottom of the table and steer them to comfortable safety.

fox123 Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 I don't tend to look at the bookmakers odds, more the betting exchanges - it's where the real money is and has a bearing on market movement. There has only been £4825 (which is f**k all in what bookies take) exchanged on Betfair and if the bookies have taken a serious hit, this is where they generally look to lay off their serious wagers (there hasn't been any on this market). Not sure if noticed as most people seem to be fixating on Lennon's odds, but Hiddink has just been cut from 78/5 (around 16/1) to 19/2 (9.5/1). Just saying, that's the odds I'd be looking at rather than the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Lisemore Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 Everyone said that when Pearson's odds plummeted. A gradual decline is nothing worth reading into, the market will soon rise again if SSN start gossiping about another randomer. Although, I'm with the bookies here, I have a feeling it'll be Lennon.

ARM1968 Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 If Lennon gets the gig everyone can forget about our 'amazing' owners. They should just watch a few vids of his finest moments - makes Pearson look like a saint. This would be an absolute joke and a disaster. And it says our owners know sod all about football and have way less ambition than we thought. Championship here we come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuki! Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 If it is Lennon, give the bloke a chance for fook sake! People writing him off, before anything has happened. At Celtic he won the league (yes not that impressive) but also managed his team to some incredibly inspiring champions league performances with resources that were a fraction of the teams they were matching up with. He also made some screwed signings in his time at Celtic- in the form of players like; Wanyama, Izaguirre, and Forster- for very minimal fees. At Bolton he took over a team in complete free fall, with no confidence and with a very angry and hostile fan base and managed to turn there season around and get comfortable survival- once again with the help of some.. this time uninspiring but clever January transfers. He might not be our new manager, but if he is don't shoot him down before he has even started! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hack Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/jurgen-klopp-open-exciting-premier-5852161 I know it's a pipe dream but you'd like to think if anyone sat the club saw that article, they'd at least make contact with Klopp. I know he wants a break but if you don't ask, you don't get Why do fans set themselves up for disappointment. There is absolutely no chance that Klopp is taking this Job. He can get any job in Football. He is not taking this or any mid tier team in the world.

RonnieTodger Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 I thought Lennon would walk into a Premier League job after Celtic. He did a very good job there. It is a Mickey Mouse league but his record in Europe was good and so were his transfers. He inherited an absolute mess at Bolton, not dissimilar to the one Sven left here, only Bolton were flirting with relegation. I think we can do a lot better, but putting him in the same league as Cotterill is laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
