Title: footie bet Post by: ACE2M on July 18, 2011, 12:38:18 PM Birmingham are in dissaray behind the scenes, there longest standing director stepped down today so carson yeungs 18 yo son could step in! Rumours of financial troubles, maybe administration loomig, selling all their players, 16/1 them to be relegated looks very tempting.
Title: Re: footie bet Post by: redarmi on July 18, 2011, 12:41:51 PM Agree totally - Would be amazed if there were any double figure prices around come August.
Title: Re: footie bet Post by: ChipRich on July 18, 2011, 12:41:55 PM nice, me and BH were talking about this like a month ago. We saw it coming, they were obviously going to have to sell all their players.
Shame i couldnt afford to get on, BHOOOO got on at 40s at the time though. Title: Re: footie bet Post by: ChipRich on July 18, 2011, 12:48:09 PM Very surprised no1s came in for Foster yet, hes still only young (for a GK) and at times for them last season was just brilliant.
Title: Re: footie bet Post by: ACE2M on July 18, 2011, 12:50:20 PM BH is to shrewd.
Title: Re: footie bet Post by: Solaris on July 18, 2011, 02:08:32 PM Chopra's a decent striker at this level, but nothing special. Struggled for goals this season and it's worth noting that Cardiff are happy to take a 2.5 mill loss on a player they spent 4mill on last year. St Ledger would be a decent signing, but I really do honestly believe that they've got not one player worthy of Premier League football at the moment. Bullard almost certainly won't sign for them. One issue is the wages, but recently on Soccer AM he was asked why he was POTY having played so little and he himself said it was because the others are crap. Couldn't believe that when I heard it. Boro would be a good bet for me. Gibson will always back his managers and Mowbray's had the best part of half a season or so to come to terms with the quality of his squad so I expect them to be up there. Reading too, depending on how many go, as they've a decent squad with a solid backroom and lots of stability which counts for so much in this league. Also fancy Burnley and Hull. One team I'd happily lay is Birmingham. Nobody knows the true extent of their financial situation and I have a feeling there'll be a few shocks to come from that club this year. GL anyway. June 10th I might add. ;danafish; Title: Re: footie bet Post by: redarmi on July 18, 2011, 02:21:00 PM Haha I'm thinking of backing Birmingham to go down @ 50s. If they sell Gardner, Johnson, Danns and Foster which they probably will, they are pretty snookered in a very tough division. TBF Brent posted this before you in the same thread!!! Title: Re: footie bet Post by: Horneris on July 18, 2011, 02:24:28 PM redarmi, redarmi, redarmi.
fwiw, with the current info I still think 16s is a decent bet. Probably about a 10/1 shot. Unless they go into admin or some huge trouble I see them coming 15th or 16th, but if they do then it could be very close indeed and they will probably go. People underestimate how tough the championship is. Title: Re: footie bet Post by: Solaris on July 18, 2011, 02:25:47 PM Haha I'm thinking of backing Birmingham to go down @ 50s. If they sell Gardner, Johnson, Danns and Foster which they probably will, they are pretty snookered in a very tough division. TBF Brent posted this before you in the same thread!!! Oops. Wish I'd have seen that now. ;ashamed; Either way it shows how badly they're being thought of if they've drifted in from 50s to 16s. Title: Re: footie bet Post by: redarmi on July 27, 2011, 12:43:11 AM Rumour is Birmingham going into administration tomorrow
Title: Re: footie bet Post by: ACE2M on July 27, 2011, 11:51:31 AM 10/1 best price now, as low as 5/1 some places.
Title: Re: footie bet Post by: DungBeetle on July 27, 2011, 12:51:03 PM Birmingham are going to be a FANTASTIC sell on the spread markets. Comes out Friday. If I can sell at anything 68 or above I'm going in.
Title: Re: footie bet Post by: redarmi on July 27, 2011, 01:02:07 PM Good luck getting 68......Would be surprised if you can sell anything above 60. i would be something like 55-57
Title: Re: footie bet Post by: DungBeetle on July 27, 2011, 03:04:41 PM No chance. Remember points deductions for liquidation are not included in these markets.
I suspect they will be 68-70 or something like that, with West Ham/Leicester being in the mid 70s. Title: Re: footie bet Post by: redarmi on July 27, 2011, 03:45:53 PM Side bet on sporting index's opening quote midpoint?? I will take 65 or under for anything up to £200 @ evens
Title: Re: footie bet Post by: DungBeetle on July 27, 2011, 03:52:59 PM Best not as we don't know each other :) But I'd make a sportsmans bet that the mid price will be 67+ Anything in the middle and we'll call it a draw.
Title: Re: footie bet Post by: DungBeetle on July 27, 2011, 03:55:09 PM Where would you pitch Leicester points Redarmi? And would you buy them at the start or wait for the team to gel with all the new signings. (I am keen to have them onside this year - I really like their signings for this league). I think they'll be 73-75 and I'd buy probably up to 77.
Title: Re: footie bet Post by: redarmi on July 27, 2011, 04:20:30 PM Fair enough re:bet. Would imagine you will be able to buy below 77 but tough to say really. In the same way as I can only see Blues getting sellers i would mark up Leicester by a couple of ticks because I can only really see buyers.
Title: Re: footie bet Post by: DungBeetle on July 27, 2011, 04:24:55 PM yeah - they might flick it up to 77-79 along with West Ham, because they are unlikely to get many people selling either of these teams.
I've stuck my other thoughts on another thread - see what you think. Title: Re: footie bet Post by: DungBeetle on July 29, 2011, 03:36:00 PM No chance. Remember points deductions for liquidation are not included in these markets. I suspect they will be 68-70 or something like that, with West Ham/Leicester being in the mid 70s. Pretty close - Brummies are 67-69 Redarmi - I win our sportsman's bet ;) Title: Re: footie bet Post by: redarmi on July 29, 2011, 09:46:06 PM Yeah good call but I will claim a moral victory on opening day when it closes 8 points lower ;-)
