    Relegation ?

    The bookies have had time to weigh it all up for next season and delivered their verdict. Luton and Sheffield United are going down, both odds on, opinion is divided on who's going down with them, some think it's us, some think it's Bournemouth, and they all think Forest are in the mix as well. There is one exception and it's a notable one, Ladbrokes, no equivocation from them, they think Bournemouth are the third team down, 6/4 and we're staying up, 9/4.

    I'm a bit surprised really, seems the books aren't convinced the Vinni/Pace revolution will fare well in the Best League in the World. I think they're wrong on this one.

    "Little Old Burnley" eh mon ami?

    Ten team mini-league and we will be in it - choose any three from ten.

    The rumour mill is in full swing and there is a confidence at least five new players will be signed.

    The key will be "Fortress Turf Moor", I'm going for 10 wins, 10 draws and 18 defeats.

    40 points will keep us up for sure.

    The top half one seems reasonable at 25/1.

    Been a bit of a change in the betting, all the other bookies have come round to Ladbrokes way of thinking and have Bournemouth going down with Sheff U and Luton.

    So that's OK then, we're safe.

    What are the odds now CM after our multiple forays into the transfer market?

    The quiet revolution going on at Turf Moor continues unabated, once this new lot settle in to the task at hand I expect no less than a top ten finish. I'm relying on sinkov to inform me who to place the bet with.
