Thought it deserved its own thread that Paul roos has been backed in from $6 last week to $1.80 this morning....

Looks like a done deal

Will he bring Ross Lyon? It was Lyon who was the brains behind the Swans' two grand finals in 2005 and 2006.

Where??

Still $5 third favourite at Tom waterhouse.....

IAS Bet have Roos at $2.

Wow. He's a certainty. I'm impressed MFC.

$1.80 on sportingbet

Betting agencies - as much as they annoy the daylights out of me - are rarely wrong when they alter their odds this much in a single change. Looks done. The question remains:- is he really up for the fight?

What do they base these prices on? What do they know that no one else seems to?

Given that only a week ago he said things needed to change, he either has very low pain tolerance (from PJ twisting his arm) or that what he hasn't been telling the media outlets the entire truth about not wanting to coach "at the moment".

its beginning to look a lot like Christmas

toys are everywhere

the pieces are starting to fall into place

a win does wonders for the posts on this site

I think the $250k bet @ $5 fixed odds from P Jackson's account has probably altered the market to some degree.

Edit - spelling

I'm going to back Dean Bailey at $41... LOL, do they just chuck any name in there?!?!

At $41.00, do you think they'd even get a single bet on Gary Lyon, Dean Bailey, Brad Green or Grant Thomas?

Perhaps he liked what he watched on saturday night? The list has potential!

if we put some money on Thomas and bring his in, maybe roos odds will slacken and we can make a killing

good way to pay off 3 mill

Garry Lyon had a huge bet on Terry Wallace.

I think the odds shortening is probably related to us winning which maybe got a few people thinking Roos might actually be keen as we aren't a massive basket case after all.

The bookies then react to the cash coming on by drastically shortening the odds.

If Roos was really locked in they would've suspended the market.

I maintain it means very little. It would undermine Craig too much to fully commit to Roos right now. Especially considering Craig is getting some positive results from the players.

gary is tight as a fishes blurter, he wouldn't spend a cent

still got his lunch money from grade 3

There was a bloke at the presidents lunch who kept winking and telling anyone who would listen that, "we got our man". He was in no way connected to the club on a professional level and was completely wasted by the time I spoke to him. Maybe he is sportsbet's source?

Tune in to 'On The Couch' tonight....

Could be a good way for the club to make back the money from the Tanking debacle. Though betting on that could land us in hot ater again..... JK

For a second there I thought you were saying that you still had Garry's lunch money from grade 3. I was going to blame Garry's inability to choose a coach on your bullying in primary school. And his bad back.

I actually think PR has always said we have some talent and the make up of a fair team

but something is very wrong at that club

well the wheels are in motion to fix that something that is wrong

so now that something has changed he has to have another look at it

you would be right about some of those comments jjj

I don't htink I saw that Williams, Eade or Craig's odds were slashed.

There is firming odds, and then there are plunges. Not often the latter isn't from "smart" money.
