    Houllier is odds on now! 1/3 with PP, around 2.0 on Betfair. I haven't had any bets on this since I backed Roy Hodgson abouot a month ago. I've a few pound coming on the newcastle market and am laying it all against Houillier.

    Crazy price. Unless someone knows something I don't...............!

    Edit: €4000 waiting to back him at 1.9! That's a lot of money. I layed at 1.96 only a minute ago..

    It's crazy. On Betfair alone Brady, Houllier, Venables have all traded odds on...Venables as low as 1.5ish! Deschamps went less than 6/4. David O' Leary was around 2/1 back when the market started. Dalglish had been less than 2/1 before he got the Newcastle job.

    A layer's paradise! Bookies are laughing I'd say.

    Big Mick will be the favourite by Sunday!

    The betting was suspended in every bookies (bar PP) hours ago. Paddy Power suspend betting at about this time every night.

    There was much more money put on Houllier today than there was on Venables when RTE posted this:
    http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2008/0111/venablest.html

    At least when Deschamps was getting backed there had been rumours flying about beforehand and Roy Keane even mentioned it. I don't see any reason why Houllier would be be getting backed more than anyone else just because his odds got cut.

    imo there's definitely something up with Houllier and the FAI.

    I dont think theres any fraud of any sorts, its just people are getting too excited when one big bet is put on, or another interview is done, this has caused so many different candidates odds to drop, Paddypower are laughing!!!

    Who do people think will get the job?

    Can't imagine Gerard Houllier leaving his post as the French Football Federation's technical director, for the Irish job, looking at the betting and the way its going you would think Houllier has signed the dotted line last night!

    It seems to be between the front three runners in the betting exchange, Liam Brady, Houllier and Venables! I honestly think that none of the big names want the job, becuase it is going to be very difficult to succeed. Thats why I fancy Liam Brady to be given the role!

    you should get on betfair and take the small few quid on him at 55's & 60's!

    Jaysus lads, trying to pick the next manager for Ireland is nearly impossible.

    Those guys that used to be in Merrion Square could do anything. For all we know they could appoint somebody with no international management experience & very little managerial experience of any sort.

    Some taxi driver txted a radio show saying he collected Kenny and he told him he had just come from an Interview for the Irish job. Althought it may not be true it could be the reason for the money on Dagliesh (who would be sh*t).

    Saw one lad going from one bookie to another backing Tigana. Wouldn't be for me though. But just in case anyone wanted to know. Wasn't for big money but probably enough (if it won) to get a holiday out of.

    Not intentionally but it was the end of racing and as I was leaving I saw him run across to another bookie across the road. And as he walked into the first shop, and went straight to the counter to check the price and then backed it, I assumed he was doing the same again.
