Buzz Killington 0 Posted May 20, 2011 I know this is getting ridiculous, every time someone needs a manager, and don''t want to cause outrage. I heard today, just from a mate (who is nothing to do with the club), that lambert is being strongly tipped for the villa job, if GH doesn''t come back. It''s purely a rumour, and there''s no source at the club or anything. I dismissed it entirely, I then looked at the odds checker website,with vicor chandler, Lambert is 2nd favourite for the job! 11/2, as opposed to 12/1, or 14/1 for the wet spam job. Bookies don''t know anything official (which I know, as I am one!), but I found this interesting. If he''s going anywhere, which I don''t believe he will, surely Villa is more likely than wet spam.

Gingerpele 0 Posted May 20, 2011 What do the bookies know?He was odds on favourite for the Burnley job... He never go that. How does anyone other than the Chelsea board, know if 1. Ancelotti is getting sacked/leaving, 2. What kind of manager they want in his place. Maybe Chelsea want a young manager with potential, to bring Chelsea success in the long term...

Scottlarock 3 Posted May 21, 2011 I think he''s 11/2 because it''s more likely PL would want that job instead of a now Championship club (West Ham). It''s an open show market as there isn''t actually a job yet - prices will then fluctuate when there is a vacancy and the rumours start flying. Bookies make a fortune from these bets and can manipulate the market easily - most of the managerial rumours are from bookies PR people.I remember backing Peter Grant at 33/1 :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gandhis homeboy 0 Posted May 21, 2011 When I go on oddschecker it says that he''s 6th favourite at 7/1 and skybet don''t have him in the running for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whoareyou? 0 Posted May 21, 2011 Do we have to have these ludicrous posts linking him with every job going?Its because he has been so succesful with us that every club would want him as their manager but you may as well link us with Ferguson or Dalglish as his replacemnet here as well!!

Block E Buh 0 Posted May 21, 2011 He''s not going to Villa, all getting very boring now, can we talk about potential new signings? Which Premier team we face on opening and last day and Mcnallys tweet today on new kit V.Soon instead? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really have no idea how Lambert''s contract is made up. Obviously the Mirror and Sun claim he has a rolling contract which we are yet to renew, if that was the case he could go for free.

I am sure Worthington was on a similar contract? In that instance he would never be ''free'' to leave the club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
