4th Favourites to Win The Championship

[Guest Bilo]

They went down to League 1, then known as Division 2. They did do back-to-back promotions but I'm pretty sure that three consecutive promotions is unprecedented in the Football League.

i am sure back in the late 60's or early 70's northampton town managed to go from the fourth division straight up to division one & then went straight back down from where they came from sorry dont know the proper dates

My bad!

Very unlikely to happen in modern football though, the gulf between the divisions is much larger now than in the 1960s.

Putting a tenner on it whatever the odds, just so I can feel slightly better if it happens, might do it every season from now on

Relegation funded my League One season ticket.

Brilliant, well that must have made relegation feel a tad better.

Won't get odds like that for a while tho.

Fez made about a grand from us getting relegated.

How much did he lose betting on Peterborough to win the title?

How much did he lose betting on Peterborough to win the title?

£100 at 10-1.

We won't be 4th favourites when the season starts. Dependng on how next weekend goes Newcastle, Middlesborough or Sunderland would all have the cash and enough decent players remaining to make a real go of a promotion challenge.

And Hull?

Don't you get something like £50m parachute money for relegation from the Premier League?

[maddog]

We're not 4th favourites.

We will be 8th favourites once the POF losers are confirmed and the 3 relegated teams come down from Prem.

8th favourites is fair, we should be looking for top 10/playoffs.

Plus odds aren't avaliable for all the other clubs yet so we will probably end up mid-table in the odds

[Ultra]

I'm as optimistic as anyone but City will do well to finish in the top third this season. In fact it might even be best that the club don't finish higher.

It takes time to build a base to survive in The Premiership should we ever get there.

Stoke seem to have managed it easily enough.

If they've done it, why can't we?

[TrickyTrev]

Well add the play off final loser, and 3 teams to get relegated, then 8th favorites doesn't sound ridiculous. The team who wins League 1 usually does pretty well, and we probably have more funds than most sides that get promoted.

[Carlos9]

Has anyone ever even come close to achieving three consecutive promotions? Not a hope in hell, mid-table at best for Posh next season.

If they get United youngsters on loan, they could do quite well.

[Raj]

Put money on City to get promotion.

You heard.

DO IT!

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

I hope City do really well, but I think a couple of seasons in the Championship, would at the end of the day, put them in a better position, to cope with life at the top, and to build a solid foundation. Good luck City.

18/1 bad considering I had 6/1 last year and we had a much higher chance.

I would bet if 30/1 or higher.

I'd still be looking at slightly better than 25's more towards 30's maybe but at 25's i'll have a couple of quid, just a token bet, I like throwing my money away to the bookies anyway

[Webbo]

Glad I didn't bet us at 18/1. Well worth a couple of quid at that price.

Peterborough shorter than us! At those odds i think Watford would be a good bet. Brendan Rodgers struggled when he first went there but really picked up towards the end of the season.

[purpleronnie]

I'll happily offer anyone 50-1 for leicester to win the championship.

[maddog]

We are mid-table in the odds list then

Best odds on us according to oddschecker are 33/1.

Pretty shit odds if you ask me, maybe worth £1 e/w though

[kirkwood]

I predict that anyone having a bet on Newcastle United to win the Championship will lose their money.

[C-man]

Peterborough shorter odds than us!

Ipswich 8/1 lol

[Maybes]

Peterborough shorter odds than us!

Ipswich 8/1 lol

Hardly surprising. Monies.

Newcastle at 5/1 NO THANKS!!
