Odds at this stage are pointless. Charlton by the time the season kicks off will have a first eleven and squad that will have little in common with last years players and performances. Might work or might not but nobody can even guess at this stage.

Players lying on exotic beaches considering their options. If they are in demand they will let their agents negotiate the best deals. Then it's do they like a certain club or chase the money.
If that's the case why have Rotherham signed 7 players..?
Must be because Rotherham is such a nice place to live.
Rotherham isn’t but you don’t need to go far before it is.
Exactly! I can see Rotherham from where I'm sitting. Lovely place..... from a distance. A bit grubby close up! It's highly unlikely any monied players will live anywhere near the New York Stadium, as there is little housing and what there is, is not at the top of the housing ladder. Probably still get a terrace for £50k. Then again they might be aspiring Robbie Fowler's in the business world.
To be fair, I wonder how many of our players live in Charlton?
At around 900k plus for a semi-detached with no garage, I'm not sure our players could afford to live in Charlton!

JS If you back us every season surely it is better to have a punt at big odds. Odds compilers probably read football forums and many posters on here have little faith even though it is early days.
It's Charlton init? If they were even money shoe-ins for promotion they'd fuck it up! If they were relegation certs they'd probably have over 100 pts in the bag before May. What are the odds on midtable obscurity, because that'll be where my 50p would go?

Rotherham 12-1 looks very generous, with the players they've signed and Steve Evans' record.

The odds are altered when bets are placed, but they don’t come from nowhere. A market is established before a single bet is placed, based on what the bookies specialists think the probability is.
Yes, Charlton could end up as odds on favourites if enough people bet on them, but they won’t. People aren't stupid. (PS I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before Henners).

I mildly disagree. If we made some sensational signings more people would bet on us and the odds might drop as a result.

I know. I tend to do an each way bet for the title (1/4 odds for 2nd or 3rd) and a bet on promotion.

Every summer a significant section of this forum convinces itself we've got the best defence/midfield/attack in the league, with any number of players who'd walk into anyone else's team. Taking into account our track record of delusion I doubt our insights are that highly prized.
Another 10 minutes of my life I won't get back. Now it's become the betting discussion thread. Anyone have an idea when it will be worth checking back for actual rumours?

Hopefully when they do start to announce signings it’s very matter of fact. IMHO the mystery tweets etc are a bit of a joke now after our worse season in decades delivered by a revolving door of mediocre signings.
Would prefer a photo of player and onto the next…giving out the message that this season the club is totally focused on one aim, promotion.

I don’t think 16/1 is long enough for a team that just finished 16th & needs a whole new first team.
