Relegation Thread 2023/24

[Tredman]

Still need another 2 points.

You happy clapper. West Ham went down with 42. We are still far from safe!

 

[Dire Wolf]

There's only 12 games left, where are they gonna come from!? Doomed.

 

[AndyWolves]

Get us. Big shots not even on the list (no idea why anyone is offering odds on Villa, Spurs or Liverpool, even crappy exchanges like that, but they are).

And it's not even March!

Chelsea look mighty short at 51

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

And Albion survived on 34, the jammy bastards.

 

[Tony Towner]

Everton have 4 points back

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Everton get 4 points back on appeal.

Puts them above Brentford and Forest for now.

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

But don't they have another judgement to come this month?

I think it has to be sorted by mid-April? Same as Forest's?

I can see a hell of a lot of uncertainty off the pitch with the relegation battle. So many appeals etc to be heard, it'll be messy.

The inevitable appeal is after the playing season has finished. Unfair on the other teams down there.

Bet365 offering a stupid 7/1 on Everton to go down now. Had £20 worth of that. They haven't won since before Christmas FFS.

Only lost once and that was to man city. In the pl anyway

What about the 3-0 defeat at Molineux?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

What about the 3-0 defeat at Molineux?

Quite.

It's 5 points from 9 games. If they average that kind of return for the rest of the season they'll go down, it's awful.

 

[AndyWolves]

What about the 3-0 defeat at Molineux?

I'll give you that one. Since their 3-0 defeat to us on 30th Dec they've only lost to man city in the PL.

They're grinding points even if they are shit.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I don't think they can draw their way to safety and they'll probably lose more points. I don't think they've scored from open play in 2024.

7/1 is a silly price, that's why I've taken it.

Said it on the other thread they’ve got another 6 coming and will find it very hard to appeal that especially if Forest get docked as well.
Let’s not pretend this is a massive win for Everton they’ve still been docked points for breaching the rules.

 

[Lycan]

Assuming Everton and Forest are docked another 6 it'd be

Luton 20 (-16)
Everton 19 (-6)
------------------------------------
Forest 18 (-14)
Burnley 13 (-33)
Sheffield United 13 (-44)

Depends if they hold the market open until any appeal has been heard after the season ends. If it depends on that you can guarantee they will.

It's a pretty small punishment though isn't it.

Playing devil's advocate a little here, but If for example Liverpool or City got the same punishment they'd still very comfortably make the Champions League. Almost makes it worthwhile?
