    Knutsen has gone to favourite with SkyBet.

    Either a lot of people lumping money on him or something has happened.

    I'd hope so. Surely not everyone is daft enough to ignore it like Ange did.

    And no qualifiers so doesn’t have the biggest games of the season before the league even kicks off.

    Always remember Rodgers saying when he first came in he only concentrated on fitness and that the football would come later after the qualifiers.

    The bookies choices are almost always the result of people lumping money on them.

    Especially early days.

    Socialism feels like everyone at the back and few to no flair players. Pre-WW2 Japan fielded a 3-1-6 formation, so fascism might be closer to all-out attack.

    He's also currently 8 points clear this season.

    Ange had a pretty poor season before he came to us, Knutsen would be great for us.

    Tbf looks a bit like Molde just had a brilliant season, perhaps a bit of an anomaly for them in only losing 2 games. But Bodo won the last two prior to that and he's off to a very good start this season. Wouldn't read too much into it.

    And this season they're first, already 8 points clear after just 10 games. 9 wins, 1 draw no losses.

    Knutsen apparently has a good eye for a player, Bodo often lose their best players but replace them well with unknown gems as they have a system that ensures continuity regarding their style of football.

    Only worry I have is that it will be a completely new challenge for him here and Bodo has been his only job so far. He's quite literally never left his "comfort zone". There's also the language barrier. Seemingly his communication skills and how he deals with the players is one of his main strengths, you'd think that would lessen slightly in a new culture.

    But his results have been impressive and let's be honest they schooled us twice with a fraction of the budget. We were all drooling over their football and hoped that Ange would have us playing like that in time. He's massively overachieved there and done better in Europe than Ange did with us.

    Can you imagine the hype if we skelped Roma like they did? Aye we had a great 60 minutes versus Real but we need to change good performances into wins. Honestly the more I read on him the more sense it makes for him to be Ange's replacement.

    My mate sent me that earlier, and said they've scored 29 goals as well.

    Would win 15-0 at the Tony Macaroni with big Knutsen at the wheel.
