Just had a look on bet fair where we are 8th favourite to be relegated. Looking at the odds for us either to be relegated or not, they have us as having between a 12.5% and 20% probability of going down. I'm not fully aware of what teams around us have done but personally I think we will be stronger than last year. I'd place us as closer to a 10% chance of relegation. . Towns transfer tracker

Rod Liddle in The Sunday Times tips Rotherham, Charlton, us and Reading to be the four to struggle in the Championship. He supports Millwall, so his knowledge of football will be limited. He predicted us to go down last season too. Yep! I think he did - I remember mentioning it.

Yeah how dare a journalist have an opinion. Even a lazy one Undoubtedly lazy as none of his predictions are startling insights, but the vast majority of pundits will have us in the bottom 6 and it's hard to argue with the rationales.

Totally agree. Was hoping Liddle would predict it again. But can understand the (lazy) assumptions.

Our odds will always be huge due to our business model. Every year we are set to sell a player or two and only invest a small percentage of that into the squad. To the uninitiated that (more likely than not) would predict a worse performance the following season.
It's worked for us do far and this is not a dig in the slightest.
However, when pundits look make their predictions the clubs who've invested money into transfers will always be picked to improve and those who have taken money (value?) out of their squads will be predicted to do worse.
Simple, if flawed, ways for those with no knowledge to guess at a season's outcome.

MK Dung 40, Huddersfield 100 is a bloody insult. Mind you if we signed eleven Brazilian internationals the bookies still wouldn't fancy us.

I never feel insulted by bookmakers, they never get any money from me...
