    Yeah but if someone is to but £250 on a manager then alarm bells will ring with trading. Not saying it can't happen but bookies has been had with this market before hence why normally they have a limit or £20 or so.

    If you calling up to get the bet on then more than likely you know something.

    Looks like Ryan Sparks is making a critically bad decision. Woodgate is not the right man at all.

    Parky came in saw what was wrong and implemented many things to change it. That's a manager

    Grayson came in clueless and left clueless if he had anything about him as a manager he would've looked to change things see it as a challenge he bottled the job bottled the challenge and cheap shots like that hopefully will keep him unemployed

    Seems we going down the Woodgate route @BamyBantam@BamyBantam **so funny

    I wouldn't mind Woodgate but with help and I think this is what Sparks wants. I think he wants to build a team that will help a manager.

    From 1985 until 2004 we spent 13 of those years in the top two divisions that was certainly no fluke. The financial meltdown then condemned us to many years in the lowest divisions followed by the Rahic disaster.

    And despite what the busted flush Grayson thinks.
    Of the first 18 years of my life we spent 15 in League Two. Its our natural level.

    Bookmakers been had? You having a laugh there?

    They ONLY exist because they fleece punters like you every minute of every day. They are a continual profit making machine. Who do you think pays for the vast advertising campaigns? You the mug who bets on random outcomes.

    Someone called in after the match yesterday and when he said Woodgate they laughed it off and said there was no chance. They were quieter on Hurst and McGreal

    and that's why if someone calls up for a new manager market then they will just turn it down or say we have limit.

    Well the government don't seem to want to tackle the problem, so shut it. The government could make it really tough on bookies but don't.

    Oh for you inform. I make money!

    Well money is piling on Woodgate.

    Considering Hurst in @BamyBantam@BamyBantam and others eyes is a done deal Hurst odds are not moving and money is so piling in on Woodgate from nowhere.

    I'll take no notice of what the media say.

    My mate didn't put the bet on. He was in the bookies when the guy next to him put it on.

    Sparks promised to do due diligence on this appointment but it looks difficult for him to appoint Woodgate and say he had done that unless it was a full package including an experienced good number two or a DOF

    Woodgate is highly rated in the football circles.

    If Sparks wants to build his own vision for the future then hiring Woodgate, with an experienced number 2 and having a DOF would be a good shout.

    It's not about the fans. I agree with you and the longer it goes the less likely its going to be Hurst because more than likely he will have his own team. Woodgate doesn't unless he wants to bring Robbie Keane with him.
