Bye Bye Playoffs...

1.25 are odds. A backer is a backer.

So would 1.24 be "evens"? Thanks for your help.

 

[Stat Brother]

Not a big move for him, smaller club.

Does Bloom think Gus has taken us as far as he can and maybe is thinking I'll take the money and get and a more proven manager in?

No, he just respects Gus and the process enough to say 'go and talk'.

I think 2.00 is evens.

No problem. 1.24 would still be the odds in JG's bet that Gus is not going. Each pound backed by the mystery "backer" returns them £1.24

And this is where it goes down hill.

 

[Barnham Seagull]

Thinking about it would'nt be suprised if there was a clause in his contract where if a club in the prem comes in we have to let him speak to them.

Interestingly it hasn't come up on the ticker at the bottom of the screen on SSN yet. Possibly SSN reacting due to the odds rather than an actual source?

I hope he doesn't go, I've got a feeling if he does, Bridcutt would follow...

So the "backer" is just another punter like JG, not a bookie?

Yes you think they would be right on it.

 

[killer miller]

Given permission to talk to them

 

[Rugrat]

Blimey .. he's odds on everywhere. Assume it's just money chasing money but no smoke without fire.

Would be a bloody odd move, can't see the logic at all

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Yes. It is a "betting exchange" used by members of the public to back/lay as they choose.

 

[James Bond's body double]

But Eammon Dolan was 33-1 30 mins ago on bet victor now 8-1

 

[Moshe Gariani]

SSN have spoken to both clubs

 

[Rugrat]

Given permission to talk to them

Source?

 

[Pavilionaire]

Sportsmole website reporting a few minutes ago that the Albion have granted permission for Gus to discuss terms with Reading.

 

[Loadicus Trux]

Look on the bright side.

He might just reject them. How sweet would that be after all the poaching of our assets in the past.

Re: Poyet backed for Reading job...

In Bloom we trust!! Bloom called Gus's bluff. Gus too stubborn and goes for chat, Gus tries to have conversation with Russian chairmen through a translator! Comes back and stays with the Albion, bloom leaks to press that big name lined up, Gus stays with Brighton denying he was ever interested in reading job, Brighton go up to prem, and Gus gets replaced by someone better. Never bluff a poker genius!
