Roger_Dubuis Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 and 100-1 to win the league with bet365 At 20-1 They seem to have written off a quick take over and enough decent players being signed to reach the play offs. Worth a punt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benny The Ball Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) Might give that a miss ... Put another way we are 23rd favourites out of 24 to go up !! Interestingly and presumably because of the unknown points deduction we are not yet listed in the relegation betting !!

bwfcfan5 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I think we have absolutely zero chance of promotion next season. Finishing bottom half but safe is what we'll be aiming for - and if we do that it will be a job well done. Season after - different story hopefully.

I don' think you'll be getting much value there - we already know we're starting on -12, that could get a whole lot worse yet, due to not finishing last seasons fixtures. I'd not be surprised to see us start on -20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyrotten Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Its the great unknown, if we have money to spend before August we can be one of the better teams in the league (assuming we lose Parky). If we are just making do on free transfers and loans, getting in players who have no immediate ambition to be in a promotion fight, we wont even make a fight of stopping up given where we're starting from (-12 pts minimum and no players to speak of). We will just be looking at being competitive in Div 2 the year after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new owners might appeal this - but even then the financial rules in league one are tight so we won't be on any spending sprees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted May 29, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted May 29, 2019 Unless we get 6+ points additional deduction, I don't see us troubling either end of the table come next May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderlust Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Don't think the bookies know any more than we do about what will happen over the next few weeks so they're just throwing out a price to see who bites. We need title winning form just to get to the playoffs and to do that we need to get a rich owner, top players whilst under an embargo and have a bit of luck thrown in. And we don't even no for sure that we won't be liquidated yet so there are a lot of ducks to line up before I'd consider throwing money at the bookies.

Moderators Casino Posted May 29, 2019 Moderators Share Posted May 29, 2019 I'm still struggling with why a points deduction for a game played this season is applied next season If we hadn't played a game in October, it wouldn't be a points deduction the following season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomski Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 To be fair the club/players knew the rules on administration and forfeiting games. We deserve whatever we get thrown at us. Thanks again ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like going into admin after you've gone down and taking the points deduction that season. It's no punishment If a player gets sent off on the last day of the season, doesn't their ban roll over to the next season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razaldo9 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I had a small bet on us to be relegated again at 7/1 a few weeks ago before they removed us from the market. Felt it was going to be way too big given we had the admin penalty + potentially more and they hadn't adjusted it yet. Looks like we're back on at 5/2 joint second favourites. Hopefully it doesn't come in and we're up the other end though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bolty58 Posted May 29, 2019 Members Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) Love a punt. I wouldn't put a red cent on us to be promoted when we are starting on minus 12 points. Anyone want to take 30-1 with me. No chance of promotion. Happy with mid table obscurity next season - not least because we must still be in existence to be there!

Johnnyrotten Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I bet there there are punters in GB or worldwide that wont know we've been deducted points (if Brechin or Dukla Prague had points deducted I wouldnt be aware of it). There will be plenty thinking that our long odds are because we are skint and will lump on at 20/1. The points deduction should be stated surely.

If half the squad is leaving, which is normal at many EFL clubs, they can decide not to bother with a couple of games to avoid injury etc knowing it will be somebody else's problem the next season. What puzzles me is why there is absolutely no urgency to sort out the punishment, is it really so difficult compared to other penalties/suspensions that are routinely dished out every month?

Burndens Bogs Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) Why should a new owner, new players, and possibly a new manager, be punished for an offence committed before they even arrived?
