Idon't think the betting odds will influence a player - motivated by money, potential, what they know about the manager/club/players from personal contact
"That's exactly what the punters do which determines what the betting odds are" Not at all, Bristol Citys main odds will be judged on our previous finishing position and recent form. because most punters know nothing about Delboy it wont get factored in. (they are about to find out all about Derek Mcinnes!) Leicester favourites due to their recent investment, finishing form and playing squad. Bet you the table wont look anything like the betting odds table come the end of next season!
Well Banksy they do have some idea of Mc's potential from last season. Under Millen 13 games - 6 points; Under Mc. the new broom, 14 games - 24 points. Mc's next 13 games - 7 points ......... and lost to 4th Div Crawley in the Cup. But I agree with you on one thing the table will be different than the odds show.
'Morris is exactly what we have been missing since Hartley left' The season before Hartley joined City he played Champions League and even with us played for Scotland so not sure you can make a comparison. We have to trust Mcinnes but I'm 'Underwhelmed' again. Morris has played 4 years in a Sunday league where such ageing luminaries as Fallon, Heffernan and that 30 year old Chesterfield reject end their careers.
A wind up by a Saints fan to resurrect this old thread. Can a MOD please send it back to the archives?
