    2/7 with SkyBet, 1/4 with BetVictor, who are the only two running books.

    This has changed in the last hour, so something has triggered this (presumably) run of money.

    Cannot see Flitcroft getting job........he's been part of the football management set up that has failed, so why would you give him the job?

    What he does have in his favour is that he is available and cheap!

    Stan James and BetVictor now look like they've closed the books at the moment. As per oddschecker.com, the only active market is with SkyBet.

    would be astonished. the reason for sacking hill, was to give us a chance of retain our championship status. not even the don would be mad enough to think the assistant could be the answer.

    It could simply be that there's been a run of bets on Flitcroft and the books will re-open tomorrow when the (non)-news settles down.

    Can't find anything to suggest it's anything more than this, as yet.

    If we sack the manager, then the assistant has to follow. It's the same ideas
    We'll go for the cheap option as normal

    Hill and Flicker both live in Bolton, are best mates, and both arrive at the WELL every day in the same car.
    They are both equal parts of the same management team

    When Barnsley and Keith Hill signed any player; Flicker was part of that decision
    When any team selection or tactic was decided at Barnsley in the last 18 months then Flicker was part of that decision

    So why why why...........would anyone sack Keith Hill...........but keep Flicker ??? !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Dosent add up and I just cant see this happening

    unless of course.......THE DON has had secret talks with Flicker and realises that Keith is just the mouth piece that needs to be got shut of..........while Flicker is the one with the football knowledge who can do a job for Barnsley
    But........I just cant see this happening
    I would be shocked if it was Flicker

    I'm hoping so, but that news broke this morning and didn't affect the prices greatly. These price changes are all within the last hour.
