KingLear Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Apologies if this has been posted already (I couldn't see it anywhere), but early SkyBet odds for promotion next season are out... Fulham 5/2 Leeds 11/4 West Brom 11/4 Cardiff 7/2 Huddersfield 7/2 Stoke 7/2 Middlesbrough 9/2 Sheff Wed 9/2 Swansea 9/2 Brentford 6/1 Bristol City 7/1 Nottm Forest 7/1 Luton 8/1 Birmingham 10/1 Hull 10/1 Preston 10/1 Blackburn 12/1 Barnsley 16/1 Millwall 16/1 QPR 16/1 Reading 16/1 Wigan 16/1 Obviously missing 2 of 4 from Aston Villa/Derby and Charlton/Sunderland. Can't look too much into anything at this stage but 11th favourites for promotion at 7/1 after last season seems a bit stingy, and if (when) we start spending some money I can only see those odds getting shorter not longer. Also interesting to see Luton at 8/1 seeing as they haven't played at this level since 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Think Wednesday, Stoke and Swansea are poor odds for their clubs situations, would want much better odds to bet on them for promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 As per usual what a load of tosh. With play offs still to be finalised and squads to be sorted nobody can have a clue. Not that it will improve once the season has started as the EP will post endless inaccurate tables as to who will get relegated and promoted, and will print the daily predictions of a ‘world class data analyst’ who will constantly get wrong which teams will make the play offs.

pongo88 Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 I always find it ridiculous that clubs relegated from the Premier League are always favourites for promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially Huddersfield at 7/2. They won something like 3 games in the league last season. Not easy to turn around a team so used to losing as that one.

Cider-Head23 Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 I'm prepared to be proven wrong but I think Huddersfield will be top 10 at best can't see them doing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obviously early to judge and depends on signings etc. but I don't think any of the three relegated teams are by any means shoo-ins to be challenging. Next season looks like it could be the most open in a while and few would have called Norwich or Sheffield Utd last season. Two or three teams will likely dominate as that seems to always happen but it is hard to say who those two or three teams will be and at least fifteen or sixteens team will think they have a reasonable chance of a promotion challenge.

Depends- think they need a new manager for a start. Plus a goalscorer- they had a very poor conversion rate last season- stats maybe wrong but from what I read, it took them 18 shots to score a goal last season! Put a new manager and for example Maupay who they've been linked with before in their side and their prospects improve considerably IMO. Obviously it isn't a magic bullet but Maupay and new manager would definitely make them somewhat more of a threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You take unknown factors into the equation and bet on what you believe is a likely end result. It is, the transfer window has just opened and we don't know two of the sides who will be in the division next year You can only start to make an educated guess in early August about who's going to win the league but until then it's pointless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I'm biased as I was recommending him before he went to Huddersfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they need a Maupay though- mind you so do many clubs including us! Out of range for us price wise but a parachute payment club who haven't overstretched. Actually, you might well be right- maybe they already have the striker they need. Scored 4 goals in 13 for them in PL in a badly struggling side! Still, think they should go for Maupay- would love him here but likely £20-25m... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
