Punters pile on Rafa departure rumour
Wednesday, 19 August 2009 17:52
Paddy Power bookmakers have suspended betting on Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez leaving the club after a flood of bets this afternoon.

At the start of the day the Liverpool boss had been a 22/1 outsider to be the first Premier League manager to lose his job this season, but a betting plunge pushed Rafa' s odds all the way down to 7/1 before the bookie pulled the plug at 4/1.

Darren Haines, spokesman for Paddy Power, said: 'A rumour of some kind has spread like wildfire - we don't know what's behind it - but something looks to have happened at Anfield for such a sustained outlay on Rafa to leave the club

Bookies are always suspending the betting on Rafa. It's part of the self-fullfilling ritual. Rumour starts, internet goes nuts, obligatory 'bookies have suspended betting' post is posted, bookies suspend betting. And nothing happens.

 

[Dandred]

Are any premier managers actually leaving?

I'm thinking of walking out on my fantasy team after my chairman wouldn't give me any more funds for players! I understand that William Hills have suspended betting...

Exactly. Free publicity out of a nothing story for the bookie.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

One day i'm going to start a rumour about a prem league manager or something, on twitter and see if the radio picks up on it.

 

[stupid dogbot]

I heard that TrippyLondoner is going to be the new manager of Exeter Town.

*bets*

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Yeah, i heard that to.

 

[stupid dogbot]

So it begins.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

 

[kained&able]

i heard the one too! i also heard trippy is getting gerry francis as his number two or direcetor of football.

[TrippyLondoner]

Nah, i'm trying to get sven away from notts county.

 

[stupid dogbot]

Just breaking now...

Supported by a middle-eastern oil consortium, there will be £60bn to spend on players.

Rumours of supporters getting "Exeter Town, Champion's League winners 2014" tattoos are presently unconfirmed, however.

 

[kained&able]

i heard they are signing marlonm harewood for 6 million. Apoparently thats his level. Although i reckon it might be a bit optimistic.

My mate works as an estate agent in exeter and his agent let it slip that that who he was finding properties for.

[TrippyLondoner]

Gonna try to get Rafa on the coaching staff to, that's why this rumour about him has happened.

 

[stupid dogbot]

Aaah, of course. Suddenly it all makes sense.

Because you actually have a transfer kitty...

 

[TrippyLondoner]

exactly!

 

[Relahni]

Rafa? Moyes? Ferguson? What a load of shit.

 

[bluestreak]

Well, that was a storm in a teacup innit!

 

[big eejit]

Rafa? Moyes? Ferguson? What a load of shit.

To be fair Moyes is a pretty good manager. Would agree re the other two tho.

 

[stupid dogbot]

Shocker.

Bit disappointed no bookies have suspended betting on the new Exeter manager, though.

 

[Maggot]

Are any premier managers actually leaving?

Of course not.
