Quote ="Mr Bliss"Are the odds based on
1. Player recruitment and players not retained.
2. The coaching team
3. A quick look at the end of year league table?????'"
Point 3 has the biggest influence on these odds. In reality very little money will be taken on this market until near the start of season. By then the odds for who is favourite to be wooden spoon will be out, they should be more an accurate prediction on who the bookies think will be the weak teams at the bottom half.
