Brighton odds for the forthcoming season - You in?

[1901]

Reading and Leeds to pull away early.

 

[Triggaaar]

We are currently 5/1 to win promotion next season

We were 11/2 last summer, and I thought we had a better chance then, so no, I'm not in. Surely it'll take some time for Oscar to get used to football here, and his new players?

Why?

What if Team Oscar is better than the second tier of English football?
Why would he have to get used to our football if he can win with his own style.

What is now his team were plenty good enough to be the fourth best team in the division.
By most accounts we've been playing an Oscaresque style, and any players bought in will only go to strengthen that.


Unsurprisingly I don't get the mantra of 'you need a manager who understands the C/ship, to get promoted from the c/ship'.

LEEDS!!! They've got a good manager but not much on the pitch. They'll need to make 5 or 6 decent signings to be anywhere near the top IMO. Reading on the other hand, I've already backed them. Gonna try and find a price for Reading and us top 2..........

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

16-1 for promotion is now looking good

 

[Durlston]

Chelsea (2/1) - Brighton (14/1) - Bristol City (8/1) - Oxford (14/1) - each way in a Lucky 15 for the leagues.

16/1 to win the league mate. 5/1 to win promotion.

Chelsea (2/1) - Brighton (14/1) - Bristol City (8/1) - Oxford (14/1) - each way in a Lucky 15 for the leagues.

Have Oxford sacked Wilder?

Quite. Every single year someone touts Leeds for big things, I just don't get it. Their squad is mid-table quality at best.

I disagree. Albion with Ulloa are a much stronger prospect than without, even with the loss of Bridge taken into account.

I think for me, this is one of those random odds.
