Niall Quinn 10/1? He isn't exactly going to sack himself

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

11/1 on Bruce is not a bad punt I reckon.
Again shows how slack betting odds can be, 15/1 on Tilly, what a joke. Maybe not to leave

but to be sacked

I would put Jim Magilton at the top, really think they will struggle this season. 1 of my tips for going down.

I'd have had Bruce higher. A few bad results, maybe slipping to midtable early on and he will be under tremendous pressure

Blackwell has done pretty well but maybe should have done better with the players he brought in.

Agree to an extent about Magilton. Then again, it really could go either way for Ipswich this season.

Worthington 11-1?!?!?! Great odds...

I think you will find all these prices are one point lower than quoted. For example 50/1 not 51/1, 14/1 not 15/1 and in the case of Blackwell 11/2 not 13/2.

Hope it isn't Blackwell. If they have a horror start and we start well, if Leeds come sniffing Tilly will be off like a shot, as he is a Leeds fan.

True he is a Leeds fan, but I still don't think he feels he has finished the job here. I think it is quite possible he will manage Leeds one day, but I certainly don't think it'll be this season.

I have put £5 bet on 34/1 - Peter Taylor - its seems to be a good odd knowing Simon Jordan, what happen if they lose at home to Southend (hope so!) & are 20th by October, I don't think Jordan will give Taylor time for this job.

Have you?

As above, I think you will find, if you have

, that it is 33/1.

If Blackwell was sacked by October and Tilly left to take over, it would probably feel like my heart had been ripped out. Even the thought of it as I read that post was a very chastening one.
