14-1 for Relegation?

Decent odds if we lose too many more of our remaining better players eg Lookman, Texeira, Kashi, Diarra or Bauer. Not convinced we have anything like enough quality across the team to compete strongly. A poor start could see us fail to lift the gloom of last year, small home crowds, lacking atmosphere and Russell Slade would be in trouble before Christmas. More likely than promotion in my view (as things stand). If we don't sign several more (goalkeeper, central defender and a holding midfielder), we could have under-estimated the challenge of Laegue One.

  • Definitely worth a score atleast
  • Just checked on PP. 14/1 for relegation, 11/4 for promotion & evens for top 6 finish.

    The relegation bet seems the only one to come in of any value.
  • I'm lumping on at those odds.
  • 16.5 on betfair exchange.
  • Got 25/1 with bet365 yesterday.
    Also done us to finish bottom at 100/1 on betfair sportsbook.

    Yep me too, 25-1 on bet365......I didn't want to,but couldn't resist
  • Many thought we were a great price for promotion last year!
  • 14s for relegation is as close to a money tree as we're likely to see. Taxi! Get me to the bookmakers and step on it my good man!
  • Got 22-1 last week. Had £20 on it.

    Yep. Even more so than in the past nowadays. League one has got weaker so half a dozen signings by the end of Aug could easily give us the best squad in the league. We're one of few teams in this league with money to spend....whether we will of course remains to be seen.

  • I've put a bet on promotion the last 3 years. Learnt my lesson, put $50 relegation at 25-1.
  • Don't underestimate just how much shit is were in this division.

    Until they all play us this season
  • We'd have to be proper shit to be relegated.
  • We do have Relegation Roger in the team. Lumping a score on those odds...

    'Half-a-dozen signings by end of Aug" is why 14-1 looks very attractive because I reckon we might get two or three at best. One or two of them might be network signings. Anyway, I will be having a bullseye on it. I will be more tha hapoy to lose the bet and ensure League One football for another season, by which time we might be shot of the Incompetent Belgians.

    I'm sorry. I'm as pissed off as the next person as to squad building but I really don't see relegation a threat. Certainly mid table is a distinct possibility but I just can't subscribe to relegation let alone finishing bottom.

    Six weeks left on transfer window. We will sign more players. Hopefully quality enough to do better than mid table.

    Many people said that at different points before and throughout last season too. As you say still time, and we don't know how Slade is going to get on with what he's given. I know it's an easier league to survive in than the Championship but never say never at the moment with the way this club is.
  • The odds look good, but I could never bet against Charlton, I don't watch them play now, since this regime sacked Chris Powell, but I still want them to win every match, and am in a bad mood when we lose.

    Agree, and there are some very middling teams in this division. Even if we have a poor start with a stretched squad and were to spiral through to Christmas, I still think there is more than enough dross for us to be more than ok.

    Exactly. Get the bet on.
  • If we get relegated I'll have Roger Johnsons face tattooed on my arse.

    Not a lot of work.
  • First team 'professional' squad down to 18 by my reckoning with four of those unlikely to be fit for August. No goalkeepers, only Solly at right-back (can't do two games a week), three central midfielders and three strikers? The side at Orient today today has to feature a host of U21's. I think we need five or six more professionals but Katrien and Roly may see a bigger window to develop youngsters for next seasons Summer Sale. Those odds look increasingly attractive.

    Should be a great crack!

    At least it will show him with his mouth open yelling abuse as usual

    Are you saying he's full of hot air
  • Roger Johnson spouting shit..............
