Skybet have us at 5/2 to win the Championship outright and promotion at 4/5, that's without official confirmation of Rafa staying in the job, those odds may get even shorter if and when he is confirmed as Manager.
100 points I can see the value in that. 46 games unbeaten, not a hope in hell. Honestly that would take a monumental effort. There are some good teams in the Championship, and we haven't suddenly become a great one. I assume this has never been achieved. You only have to look at how they do against PL oppo in the cups. Every dog has its day remember! Rafa and 100+ is gettable though but still not easy.
Im going to request the odds of Newcastle winning every championship game in the 2016/2017 season by at least 2 clear goals. Then I'm gonna stick £100 on it!
Agree, the odds on unbeaten should be nearer Leicester's opening odds for winning the title. With Rafa, I think the 100 points is a good shout; whilst it'll be 46 cup finals, a good few may be a bit overawed by Rafa.
The Boro to win the premier league, I fancy a £10 on that. Derby look the best championship team by the way.
I think you also have to consider Villa. As bad as they've been this season, they will have new backing from this chinese lot, a new manager and a fresh start. Winning the league might be tricky. Indeed just getting promoted may not be easy. I think quite a few current PL sides would find it tough to do so!
Newcastle to get 100+points, finish with the best defensive record and Armstrong to finish top scorer? Canny Treble?
