Harry for the sack?

Bookies have slashed odds. Hope this is just gossip, but the words "Amdy Faye" may come back to haunt us!

Paddy Power have stopped taking bets.

It was too good to be true....

Looks like there's truth in this one.

I'd imagine it's complete bullsh1t. Bookies odds are based on rumours as much as anything and I don't see where this has come from. If he was under investigation for dodgy dealings we'd have heard about it by now.

It's probably a rumour planted by Gary Megson or someone else involved with Bolton!

has to be bullsh1t, if not i am definitely giving up this time!!

We've a bit of a leaky backroom, and there's rarely smoke without fire. Could an "Asian betting syndicate" really manipulate odds across all the major bookies in this way, and still profit from it? Or is that just wishful thinking?

That article is from the future....look at the date on it

Strange rumours lads. No smoke without fire, anyone got any idea what its about ?

ruiseal · 02-10-2009 11:18pm

Don't like what I'm hearing. No smoke without fire and all that. And just when things seemed to be moving in the right direction for the first time in years......FFS!

Harry said it was a load of nonesense,that's good enough for me.

Liam Byrne · 03-10-2009 12:49am

I reckon (and hope) it's just a slow news day with tabloids making up stuff as usual.

I mean, on what basis would you sack him ? A loss to Manchester United and Chelsea ?

Apart from those two, he's doing just fine this season.

What is it that people tend to say about Harry, whatever he says, you can assume that the opposite is the truth

RichMc70 · 03-10-2009 10:04am

Either a slow news day or some attempt to trying a boost the odd's on a more likely candidate

Either way, the story itself is bull.

ziedth · 03-10-2009 10:10am

i'd say surely if there is any truth to this it can't be to do results/form. I think that will be the end of football for me if this happens, i was prob his largest objecter on this fourm when his name was first mentioned and i have come to love the man as i would a drunk uncle at a wedding. I really hope if lies there will be no damage done in the spurs camp.

Deal is as follows. Syndicate manipulate odds downwards fast. Easy and not costly to do. Tabloids and SSN then try to join the dots ( Portsmouth takeover, Inland investigation grassy knoll) Joe p[unter gets in on the act, odds plummet further, and syndicate now lay off on spread, making a surefire fortune.
There is only one potential problem with this system, and that's if the story feeds on it's own momentum and unsettles a wobbly board.
Tottenham was a great place to locate such a story
1 We have sacked managers in oct 08 and 07 - not likely to go this path again.
2 Harry is a good fit for where our club is
3 portsmouth a third time ?- grassy knoll.

Harry for the sack?
