    Look I think just like with transfers in the most part it’s good that they keep names secret until an appointment or deal. But I wish they could just give us an update of the state of play

    He's was down as low as 1/4 last year. Yesterday when the market came back up he was 2/1 after a bit, if they were convinced he was going to get the job he would be 1/10 or they would take the market down. They're just covering their backs after a few people have backed him.

    They could have done what the Gills did, at each different stage of the process send a message out to fans.

    So you know my next question.

    However, whilst agreeing re Rupp can you explain why the CEO needs changing. He’s following the owners REMIT to the letter, like it or not. As a result he’s measured on that remit. Therefore according to the owner he’s doing brilliantly well.
    A different owner may have a completely different remit, the CEO , new or Sparks will once again be measured on that “ alternative” remit.

    Anyway back to my question, you know exactly what it is without a prompt, surely?.

    Other way around. The people placing the bets have been so convinced by the bookies that they are lumping on Holden. It could be the bookies trying to preserve their funds by placing a candidate at such low odds that punters stick money on him.

    They make more money from a losing bet at 2/5 than they do from one at 10/1

    Perhaps the clubs been caught with their trollies down. Superb immediate turnaround in form under KM, many fans suggesting we give him to the end of the season.
    The club looks favourably at this option.
    Then wallop, two bad defeats.
    Eeeek thinks the club, we better get interviewing again haha

    These markets only take a few hundred quid for a candidate to shorten.
