Wagner.

[GodlyOtsemobor 2,343]

Would you be happy if it is? 

now odds have been slashed. 

 

Personally, I think it's not a bad shout.

I saw 2-1 just now. Better than Smith. I’d back him 

[KeiranShikari 1,426]

Not really but whoever we appoint will have my support.

I'd have big concerns if it was Wagner. Came undone at Huddersfield, his Schalke side were diabolical. I don't know much about his stint in Switzerland, only that it didn't last very long.

Now odds on everywhere, in last 10 minutes SKY bet have gone from 3/1 to 10/11. A couple of places now 1/3.

I’d still have him despite posting in another thread his 18 game winless record run for schalke

[Hucks6 169]

No thanks 

[hogesar 9,717]

I'd have him. He knows what it's like working under Webber and was successful when he did.

I'd prefer him to the likes of Parker.

[Virtual reality 716]

Stuart Webber may as well come out waving a white flag and admitting he is a one trick pony if Wagner is appointed. His Huddersfield championship side were superb but it appears to have gone hugely downhill ever since. Poor man’s Daniel Farke

Does anyone have any idea why the odds have suddenly tumbled?

Of course it is just money being placed at the moment, but the bookmakers didn’t even have him listed this morning.

I could back Wagner, but it does beg the question as to why sack Farke as we have done a complete circle.

[Coneys Knee 983]

I wouldn’t be against Wagner, but it would leave me questioning Webber.
 

Hiring Wagner would just look like he had adopted an easy, no effort required recruitment process which would make me question further,  his commitment to us and how much he’s really bothered about succeeding with us.

People put money on it.

[Well b back 3,260]

The 10/11 with sky is being taken now 4/6. Unusual for big money to carry on once somebody goes odds on.

[HazzaJet 256]

4/5 on Bet Victor now. Loads of people placing money on him getting a reunion with Webber

[rock bus 854]

Seems a decent option and I’d probably prefer him over the likes of Martin and Robins. May be old boys network with Webber but at least means should hit ground  running.

 Been successful before and Huddersfield certainly played decent football.

 Although the main truth is probably that there’s a  bit of Farke about him and I still miss him (sad I know!)

He has never been the same since Natalie Wood died

[Virtual reality 716]

I doubt it would take much money to move a market like this one 

[canarybubbles 1,934]

Obviously Webber knows Wagner very well. Is it possible that Wagner could be persuaded to take a contract until the end of the season, with a guaranteed extension if we went up?

EDIT: Makes sense for us; manager in place immediately, no big financial outlay, flexibility according to what happens in terms of promotion. Makes sense for Wagner; a chance to revive his career?????

And not on others, you can get at least 8/1 anyone else.

[Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,836]

Hopefully this is just a case of one or two big bets creating a bit of a bandwagon. I wouldn't be enthused; did well at Huddersfield initially before the wheels came off and has struggled to repeat his success anywhere else, a bit like Paul Lambert here (barring the wheels coming off, obviously).

[crab man 164]

I don't think many of the managers linked are blemish free, take Hassenhuttl for example, he has a few 9-0 hidings to his name. 

Wagner's time at Schalke was under difficult circumstances, and at Young Boys he got a scalp over Manchester Utd in the Champions league and was sacked whilst second in the Swiss division. 

Be fairly happy with that appointment, similar style of football to Farke, and obviously the Dortmund links.

Although I don’t disagree, some betting companies didn’t even have him in their odds this afternoon, so this has started by people asking for a price.

Got mentioned in The Athletic, obvious link to Webber, available. 

[Coneys Knee 983]

I don’t think Wagner has been as bad as people think since leaving Huddersfield. Reading about him, it seems his Achilles heal is that he struggles to halt bad form. He seems good while the going is good however.

He was listed on Sky Bet at 18/1 last night. I looked after I read Michael Bailey's piece in the Athletic.

No I didn't🙄

[Peregrine Shorts 327]

last time around it was Sky Sports News announcing that Lampard was going to be offered the job that prompted people to start punting on Lampard at Skybet..........

I guess it’s the easy and logical connection. People will know Webber appointed him at Huddersfield and there’s a lot of similarities with Farke. I think he could be successful here but I also think it smacks massively of the easy option for Webber and as others have said it leaves more question marks about his ability if he has to return to old manager appointments.
