Odds slashed - 4evaabaggie - 02-03-2017
The odds on TP being the next Leicester boss slashed to 14-1 and for him to be the next PL boss to leave his club from 50-1 to 9-1.
Hope it's all hype ...... every time we start to build something and success appears to be getting nearer someone comes along to stifle it. Same goes with transfers ....... really want to see us lift a major trophy and the constant poaching of our managers, backroom staff, star players, youth players and transfer targets just puts us back when progress is being made.

Never thought I'd be worried about TP going, what a turn around!! Mind you, can't see him going to Leicester, yes they beat a very poor Liverpool, but I still think they are major relegation candidates.

Baggietrousers, know what you mean, it's the unsettling interference every time we start taking two steps forward that gets my goat ....... and boy is my goat not happy.

Leicester would have to be blind not to have noticed our success under Pulis so it stands to reason they would enquire about his availablity. That, I hope and expect, would be as far as it goes.
He is still under contract to us and after the fiasco at Palace where his credibility was so publicly called into question he would not want another court case if he were to leave us against WBA's wishes.
After a phenomenal performance at Palace which brought him the title of Manager of the Year, he lost every penny he earned and some in the acrimonious case afterwards. He surely would not want this to happen again.

If I was TP, I'd be very wary of replacing a manager who was sacked 9 months after winning the league and masterminding (perhaps) the biggest sporting upset of all time

No way he would go. Total media hype.
RE: Odds slashed - BaggieMan - 03-03-2017
All comes down to hard money and we know TP owes plenty to Palace.
If a club came along and offered him £3m plus if he kept them in the Prem it would be hard to turn down.
For the offering club it would be a cheap investment given the financial rewards on offer.

Can't see any other manager than Hodgson landing the job to be honest. It's already openly reported that he's been approached and he's a free agent which makes it less costly for Leicester.
As a club we wouldn't cash in on Berahino despite the fact he was basically on strike and drugging himself up to the eyeballs after not getting his move to Spurs... I don't see us parting ways with Pulis unless there's a colossal payout to compensate us from Leicester, of which there won't be.
The bookies odds being slashed I'm convinced is just a con by the bookies to get people dropping money onto bets at long odds, making people "think" they're getting onto a bet at just the right time.
