    Not by Ben, sadly. But good enough to end the speculation!

    Skybet 1/8, Corals 4/11

    Walking in the Wilson Wonderland!

    COYR!!!

    That means either they know something, or there's been some serious wedge placed on DW to pull them odds down that far. I still don't see it happening this week myself but it must be rare that someone with such short odds on has ended up not getting the job. Those odds must be one more click away from closing the book.

    Think we had similar odds on Butcher this time last year - I doubt the bookies have real inside info more likely there has been a run of bets on him over the last couple of days by people hoping thats what is going to happen

    Of course there is a good chance they are right but I wont be getting my old Danny wilsons red and white army flag out again just yet

    That's because we did offer the job to Butcher. The difference in this case is that Wilson has (supposedly) said that he would be interested.

    Personally, I'm clinging to anything that gives me hope that he will be our next manager

    Purely fuelled by homemade rumours.

    Since I posted this BetVictor have gone back up at 1/4 and Stan James at 1/5.

    The 'weight of money' factor usually applies to one firm, who then go short having offered the longest price initially. Here, all the firms have contracted markedly. Corals in particular have a reputation for being switched on in footballing matters.

    As said above, 'deal done' will mean the books close. I read this as 'negotiations at an advanced stage - signature awaited'.

    Admittedly very wishful thinking on my part, but in this case I think the runes look good.

    I hope so, hard to tell without knowing how much is simply Barnsley fans putting money on Wilson and how much is down to some insider knowledge due to some large wadge of cash going on Wilson.

    I still hope it's Wilson. Unless rabbit is to be pulled from hat i'm not quite sure outside of those two who it might be.

    Mind, you could make a fortune at BFC knowing who each manager was going to be. We've had so many in the last 10 years I think if i'd have had insider knowledge id be worth a million by now.
