Us and the other teams may as well not bother because their largeness will totally overwhelm us all.
The betting relates to how large the teams are. Blackburn won the league in 95. Wigan and Portsmouth have both won the FA Cup in the last 10 years. They have large reputations but what is their financial position right now? Pompey have a big manager too, so large he was much too big for us but the new Wigan boss doesn't think Pompey are as large.

Fleetwood nearly went up last time but are 20/1 as the bookies don't think they are large enough even though they have a manager with a big big reputation, and because he is so big that's why they have shorter odds than us.

We don't have a large Manager because he has no experience, certainly not when compared with the big bosses who are very large and their CV sets out which very large clubs they have been fired from.
Hmm mate I don't mean to interrupt a good rant at bookies but odds go lower depending on how many rich morons bet on them. But yes these rich people who bet £50,000 on a team to win or promoted I hope they lose they don't know football or care on the mood on the club or the training camp of hell we sent the players on no they go on who's bigger and what clubs have money. I can understand Wigan but Blackburn come on you got more chance on getting money for players from tony Stewart than Blackburns owner. He don't watch his team he bought he won't talk to fans when they travel to India and he won't give them any money. I'm shocked that anyone would even put money on Blackburn to make play offs never mind win.

And people wonder why our country is going down the pan (the IQ of the super rich is lower the South Pole
