Once someone sees a price crash they think someone has inside information and then more people pile on etc etc. Darren Moore anyone? odds on to be next Derby Manager not many appointments ago! At this stage those markets are only just starting to form and mean very little beyond speculation and whispers in the press etc. I Stuck a £50 on him at 6/1 yesterday, that was probably enough to shove the price up not down.?

I don’t think he’ll be moving anytime soon Not saying he is coming to Oakwood, but funnily he could be looking for a move from his mega bucks job. I know it's only paper talk however it is the local Geordie rag so they will obviously have the right contacts. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/rafa-benitez-newcastle-liverpool-dalian-19066643 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he was he makes a good choice usually. McClaren both times was good, Rowett got us into the playoffs, Lampard was entertaining and got us into the playoffs, Clement was sacked with us in 5th place and even Cocu did alright in his first season here. I would say Pearson has been the only real mistake from a management perspective (I know some people will argue we should have stuck with managers that played the same style) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Cook ticks the boxes, over 40% win rate for Chesterfield, Pompey and Wigan and plays attacking football.... Seen his away record in the championship with Wigan???

Nuwtfly Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Just me who thought this statement was a bit...odd? Not known the club put out a statement of sorts to declare the hunt for a new manager is underway before... ...almost feels like, and maybe I'm just reading into it too much, but a bit of build up to something exciting? I don't know. Maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know. Maybe not. I think it's odd, the new owners would have been in discussions regarding Cocu and the next steps regarding the future manager would have been discussed at the same time. It's strange that this wasnt on the original statement last night and instead released this evening as a standalone statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe it's saying "the takeover won't happen before we appoint Rooney & Gregory but the new owner is ok with the decision". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
