Gob smacked - Bet365 has us at 2/1 for relegation!!!
Hull 5/6
Burnley 5/6
Middlesbrough 5/4
Watford 15/8
West Brom 2/1
Bournemouth 11/4
Sunderland 4/1
Swansea 4/1
Leicester is 16/1 (which I had hoped would be 500/1 and then I would have put a fiver on that)
Will be interesting to look again in early August when hopefully a few transfer dealings will have happened.

Not bad.
My £1,000 gets me £3,000 next May (or nothing!) whereas my ISA gives a guaranteed £1,013. Mmmmmmm??? Decisions!

Lots of bookies are betting against us, we have an old squad, odds will change dependant on us having a good transfer window ..... we need youth and pace and a top ten finish is easily possible. Chester/Evans, Fletcher/Yacob, Rondon is a great spine need full backs and wide pace and we could have an amazing season ......

2/1 is also down to the useless football we play and the approach we adopt against lower league opposition.
With some good players and a change of mentality from TP, we could easily finish top half. I'm pretty sure if nothing substantial changes, JP will act before Christmas.

KEEP CALM and look to the positives either the bookies have it wrong and we could win the league, if they are 100% right with their predictions then they are saying we will finish in 16th place.
I would not be surprised to see the odds shorten even more, as people will look at those odds and think "that's not a bad bet 2/1 for relegation, with their history and playing style" and have a punt, which if enough people do that will shorten the odds further.

Pulis should take up PR because as manager he is flu kin useless. He needs to come out and say Saido is shit, lambert is shit and I've let go the better players this squad had go but really I couldn't tell because me and the lads in the backroom are shit too.
Now we've missed the boat with Shakey again.
