It's fair to say it didnt work, but I wouldn't call it a car crash to be honest. We still finished higher than most people predicted in their pre-season predictions and those predictions were made over the summer assuming we would have Jones and Crowley.

But yes, you would hope Alves being odds on is just a tiny betting market being influenced by a small amount of money.
