Relegation Odds

[Snibbo]

Man City 12/1! So we're only about twice as likely to be relegated as City.

Spurs at 40/1 might be worth a quid.

All the so called experts are calling us  out to struggle this season with the R word getting Regular mentions you can see where there coming from New manager a few key players leaving the Club?

As it stands I understand why we would be relegation candidates. We've lost our 2 top scorers for no fees. Weve lost a strong defender after a good world cup. We have no genuine goalscorers at this level in the team at present. No signings yet and a new manager. The club will hopefully address this but there is a lot to do. I think we need about 7 players in various positions. If we get the right players in we will be fine. Otherwise, if we leave it too late and we start badly we could be down there.

...and yet, given ALL that evidence, we are still only joint 6th favourites...
You would think what with all this going on, we would be odds on...
You never see a bookmaker riding a push bike....

Other clubs seem to have similar concerns, even one that has just won major trophies:
