a1canary 0 Posted January 20, 2009 Ok, bare with me. I put this on another thread but think it''s such a cool idea it deserves a new one.The board club together, along with Mssrs Moore and Cullum, and stick as much money as they can put together on Souness to be manager, at 80-1. Say £1m. Then they lure him with a massive contract, appoint him, and collect the EIGHTY MILLION quid which he can spend on players. Once we''ve paid off our debts!Club saved and promoted. Genius!Or entire board sent to prison and club ejected from the football league :( But hey, worth a punt at those odds! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Bump 0 Posted January 20, 2009 You wont be able to put 1 million on, there''ll be a maximum bet of like 250 squid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barry Brockes 157 Posted January 20, 2009 And even then they''ll offer you much-reduced odds if you want to put on a hefty wedge. That''s why you never see a bookie on a bike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blahblahblah 2 Posted January 20, 2009 And anyway, do you really think that Souness could do anything useful with only 80 million ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Fish Seller 0 Posted January 20, 2009 I''m in so long as when they get the £80m they sack Souness and pay his contract off I''m sure a decent manager would be able to do a good job with the remaining £78m Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted January 20, 2009 [quote user="a1canary"]So if i give you a tenner 7rew and ask you to put in on Souness for me, that''s illegal? [/quote]no.. because yo are not involved with the club in anyway.. or the selection process for the manager are you.... Its basically Rigging it... which would see the board in deep do do....jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
