Handicap Odds on bet365 (You have to win the league with all the other teams handicaps added as well. )

 

So Bet 365 have us finishing 20 points behind the play offs. 

Probably about right, but in the unlikely event VI gets it almost right and we replicated last season's finish, +32 wouldn't be far off winning.

Ipswich apparently signing Hackney from Boro for over £20M.  Which you would imagine will leave Boro with the funds to buy Brittain

On a side note, how is an inferior player, moving to a Championship club for more than Wharton moved to Palace?  Are some still trying to claim that we got a good deal?

Andy Brassell was saying on Talksport on Sunday that there were rumours of Spurs interest in Wharton but Palace didn't want to sell and they would demand £80 -£90m for him which would rule it out.

He thought if he had another great season then the really big boys would be back in for him in 12 months at that sort of level.

But £18m was a great price of course.

Which is why I have to chuckle at Palace falling foul of the rules in Europe.

I wish nothing good on that club.

Just seen they've also had one of their stands closed by the council due to it failing health and safety regulations. Grim stuff.

What an utter mess they are in. Registration embargo, North Stand no safety certificate. Threadbare squad.

i remember wolves being in the same situation in the 80`s and that was because of terrible ownership,hopefully wednesday can turn it round,it`s a warning to all footy fans about dodgy owners and financial deviants

[roversfan99]

Looks like Wrexham are signing Nathan Broadhead for over £7m from Ipswich. They are really going for it.

I was watching something earlier rating clubs away kits and it said 7 teams hadn't even released one yet with a week to go till the new season 😕 not sure if it was 100% accurate, Sheff Weds were one though, maybe they'll just play in 'skins'?

[Upside Down]

I don't see why kits need to be changed every year. They never used to be. 

Anything to keep the sham going I suppose, regardless of the toxic holocaust it reaps upon the earth.

Reading the situation at Hillsborough, a 44 game Championship season and just 2 relegation slots is a 50/50 likelihood this morning.

And yet Barry Bannan signs a new contract this afternoon 🤷‍♂️

[DE.]

Considering wages are repeatedly being paid late it may soon not be worth the paper it's written on. Either that or a takeover there is imminent. 

[chaddyrovers]

at £100m? no chance

It’s certainly not needed, but I’m sure it’s a nice little revenue stream for the club, particularly these days with football tops being both fashionable and collected.

Watching Leicester - Fiorentina now.

 

Leicester are miles ahead off us. What a squad and A. Fatawu is going to rip the Championship apart if he can continue like he has done today.

Poor defending though. Two players tackle each other then the  guys at the back must have been saying - “ just come inside and have a pop with your good foot “

Wait till you see the defending for NEC’s third goal.

Yeah I saw it live, a very similar situation.
