That's fu&ked us....

Crazy....

Reading has to be the favorite, they have a decent young manager and some really good players like Le Fondre.

I would say they are already ahead of us.

bookies looking for mugs.

That's me in then, £10 all the way!

Well we were favourites to be mid-table but ended up relegated. Boo to bookies.

[Factamondo]

no way....wigan/reading/leicester/leeds/forest and either palace/watford all better bets than us thus far!

Don't agree with you lot - we should be the favorites.

We have the most financial clout, which has been demonstrated over the last windows, we have an experienced manager who is a big name and can attract players.

The only reason we have been relegated is the club has been run naively - I think the owners will have learned (I hope so anyway).

So how do bookies choose favs? They will look at current squad (the relegated teams are always the favs with a cpl of others), they look at manager and they look at money. Why would we not be favs?

Facto Old Bean. Have you been on the sauce this morning. Leeds!!! Leicester!!! They are garbage teams in the worst quality Championship there has been for years.

I dont see how we can be favourites ,when weve no idea who we`re going to be able to offload/get in yet. This "team" hopefully will be nothing like the team we put out next season

Agree 100%.
I'd be more shocked, not to say alarmed, if we weren't favoured ahead of most of the dross that's currently in the Championship.
