But they do have the benefit of being able to change they mind throughout the season To be honest I think it will take time for the new team to gel and for Allen to mend the obvious flaws of the Hessenthaler rule, so I think 8th would be acceptable this season before pushing on next season.
I'm not quite sure myself predicting 2nd and 83 points pre season is far of the mark, in fact that would have near enough been a bookies nightmare had I placed a bet on it? gfc1234 predicted champions and a few others also predicted 2nd.
Before Mr throwoff reminds me (again!) I have to admit that he suggested we put our winnings from the first game of the season (was about £30 ) on winning the league and I refused! I see we are 33/1 for a L1 League win - anyone tempted? Roy
I am going to put a bit of my winnings on it, I won over £80 this year and it would have been more if I had not bet each way and also spread it on promotion as well.
