TBH I am really happy with it.
The bookies rarely get anything wrong.
In this instance I think they are.
Therefore I am happy to take advantage of the odds.
Last year I really felt we had a good chance of a top 4 finish, and put money on it. I could only get 9-2, which I didn't really feel were good odds.
This season I believe our young and exciting squad will improve to a degree that it is impossible to predict. Another year older, confidence of last year, continuity of management, to name but three. Add to that we don't even know who will be coming in, and I feel that 33-1 for the title is way previous by the bookies (get down Corals, I got a Lady on it at 40-1
). I think it is a real outside chance for the title, but if we get some serious recruits now and in Jan., and get off to a flyer, as the fixture list suggests we may, who knows? I got 3-1 on us to finish in the Top 4 at Ladbrokes; I'm going to Corals tomorrow to see what they are offering on this. I strongly suspect that after a couple of transfers in, and some good early results (I hope) and our odds will tumble soon enough.
But there again, I could be wrong...and that is why it is a gamble.
