Analysis
This market shows extreme illiquidity with only $5 in 24-hour volume and open interest, creating a wide 10¢ spread and inflated yield metrics (401.7% for Yes) that don't reflect realistic risk-adjusted returns. The 45¢ price implies a 45% probability of Emery's departure within the 111-day window, which seems elevated given Aston Villa's recent stability under his management and the lack of public speculation about his job security. The negligible price movement (46¢ to 45¢) and neutral regime suggest limited conviction from traders, making this a low-confidence market best avoided until liquidity improves.
Resolution rules
If Unai Emery ceases to be the manager of Aston Villa starting Apr 16, 2026 and before Aug 1, 2026, then the market resolves to Yes.
