I see most bookies have got us at the same price as Brentford to win the league. Are we really seen as on par with Brentford? Maybe we fans don't really appreciate how much we've fallen over the years. Quite alarming really. Going by this statistic it's going to take a hell of a lot more than one or two free transfers to get us anywhere near the top half of the league.

{Ed003's Note - Or how far Brentford have risen maybe.}

Will only let you put a max of £40 on. (As bookies still as uncertain as us fans are) so don't read into it. Ps I put £40 on us for promotion as odds are good at mo. "WHEN" not if. Ratification comes through odds will be slashed.

Odds are based on our current squad. When the takeover happens and our team improves then the odds will come tumbling down. I'm not fussed if we don't get promotion this year, I would take high top half, I think it would be too much of a leap to go from our squad now to needing to overhaul it to a premiership squad if we got promoted at the end of this season.

Summat different to moan about

On some of the new kits (definitely the kids) the Sondico logos the wrong way round on the sleeves. This may be delaying the kits into the Megastore.

People need to learn some patience, takeovers take time. I think a lot of people saw MM takeover the club in a month and think that that is how all takeovers go. However even MM's takeover was going on for a couple of months before it was finally reported on, if some things I have read were true as soon as he sold Leicester he started making enquires about buying us. Hm's takeover got leaked to the press a lot earlier than HM and MM would have liked, my guess is that they would have left it till the major paperwork like due diligence had been done so it looked a little more certain. Add to the mix the unfortunate timing of the banking issues in Azerbajian which meant that HM has had to spend time back home sorting out some problems with his core business mean that it has taken time. Another way of looking at it that a lot of people have already mentioned is that buying a house isn't simple so a football club must be even worse. My own house sale took ages, we agreed the price within a week of seeing the house but the paperwork then took 3 months to complete.
