Morrell isnt even on there.

Local, on a very good run, ex cov, cheap and upcoming.

50/1 or more and he has to be worth a shout

Agree with Otis. Not a pleasant sight - looking at the list of favourites. Very worried!

Absolutely. Although Boothroyd wasn't in the running til the end when he got it, and I don't think Pressley was straight away last time round.

Thorn was but that was an obvious choice for the time.

Very easy markets to change only needs 2 or 3 small bets on someone and they will shoot up. Sky bet chief even said there's only been a few bets

The signals can be true though. I remember last time City were hunting for a new manager and, almost immediately, Pressley shot to second-favourite. That seemed odd given his lack of pedigree in England, and there was no press coverage linking him with the post. He was not an obvious choice for a big bet. Had to be an insider. Also saw a couple of others (inc. Eric Black) making surprisingly strong runs over the course of the manager hunt...

And he probably has seen and heard enough of SISU from Southampton to rule him out. Unfortunately.

SiSu leaked Pressley's name to the Bookies so they could get a bet on for a good price & make some money on CCFC. A quid from anywhere will do …….

He is from Market Bosworth and a big Leicester fan. Please take Nigel Pearson from us

Neil Warnock on the list. If Colin came in, I for one would be over the moon. Quality manager who is just a little out of his depth right at the top end, but at L1 he could do a job, no doubt about it.

On the list Craig Hignett manager at ASDA,, he would have experience with working with cabbages and low cost items. And with SW transfer policy of get 7 for the price of 1 he could be the next man up...

Although Hignett has got a decent rep as an assistant, him with Wise or Lee Johnson would be a good mix in my opinion..

Some good names on that list could you imagine any of Keane, Warnock or Billy Davies working for Waggott and Sisu there would be blood on the first day.

Don't know why people still mention Curbishley? Doesn't ever sound like he'll go into management again, been out the game for a while and loves London.

I have to agree there but to say he has been out of the game too long I disagree...crying out loud we talking about L1 here not the Prem or Championship. To me this statement does not count in League1.

Problem I have with Di Canio is that he seems to have tendencies of falling out with quite a few black players. If you notice we have quite a few in our squad.

I didn't say too long. He's been out the game for 7 years and a lots changed within that time, whether it's PL level or L1. 7 years is a while, especially in terms of football! Still, we're not in London and he seems comfortable in his punditry jobs.

We have a London Rugby Team that might change his mind

Totally agree he gets mentioned all the time but he's been out of management for years.in fact he's been on gardening leave so long that he's changing his surname to Tichmarch !
