PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[mcrpogue]

It is to make the bet look attractive to punters. In reality we canbt be 'relegated' as such as the Premier League cannot order the Championship to take us. We can only be expelled from the PL which is not what they offer.

We can if they knock 50 points off us.

Fair point.

Still might not be enough.

We might not get to 50 points to take off us

Relegation. What’s that?

I'm sure a blue who's involved in the gambling World said that even if we are relegated when the Tribunal give their findings, we would appeal it and all bets would be null and void.

As always I might be wrong and I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.

There’s no way a bookies would keep us at 500/1 with the threat of relegation being there.

If we were to get relegated and there was, say, £50k bet on us getting relegated across the country, they’d owe out £25m. There’s no way they’d take that chance, so they play safe and reduce the odds.

Is there any way of knowing how much has been placed on it. I’d like the thought of it being fucking millions.

We've been priced fairly short in comparison to how we usually would (and how Liverpool, Arsenal are) since the odds were first released. It's been brought up before quite a bit on this thread, the current prices are very little to do with being backed in - I can't remember exactly what we started out at but from memory it wasn't any bigger than 15/1. So it's possible to some extent we've been backed in from 15s to 9s with various bookies, others still have us 12s, but again they will be adjusting their odds based on risk throughout too.

TL;DR, don't bother with them meantime. A complete red herring. Simply a case of bookmakers weighing up risk/reward accordingly.

What price are the Rags? Genuine question, I fancy a flutter ;)

150/1 on bet365 might be nice little earner off £20 :-) more chance of them to be relegated than us lol

Just looked & seen it’s the same to win the league…

Dippers were favourites which tells you the they’ve all got over excited.

I've checked. Apparently, there's still something called a 'bottom half of the table'..?
Who knew?

Haha good one.

They say we have lost our soul and can’t have a laugh now the club is successful with bad investment.

Oh how wrong they are.

Watched the talksport interview with Stefan yesterday and came away with nothing other than it's still going on, no reflection on Stefan it is what it is.

True but did you notice the change in attitude from Jordan??

That'll leave us well above the relegation zone. I can live with that.

Yes I did mate, he looked actually annoyed that the cartel existed and are trying it on. To be fair he's said a few times that there was a cartel but as you say he had doubled down on it and it looks like he has got fully on board disgusted at the cheating bastards.

AKA the top 13 and the bottom 7.

And Jordan gets his information from some very strong City-haters so his comments probably reflects the current mood of our enemies. Jordan doesn't want to be on the losing side.
