Blacko Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Celtic at 1/2 is a risk free bet, essentially free money. Rangers manager clement admitted last week that there is no money available despite promises from the boardroom. A full rebuild is needed at Ibrox, players signed so far have either been poor or future investments. Brazilian Jefte was so poor against Man Utd on Saturday that fans were questioning if he had played professional football at any point. Meanwhile Celtic look stronger by the day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems incredibly generous as Rangers are the only credible alternative and if as you say they are rebuilding it looks nailed on for Celtic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philinvicta Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I notice both Paddy Power and Boylesports are 4/9  this may be due to the huge number of Celtic supporters in Ireland. I think the only reason they are around 1/2 is that many people do not like betting a 1/2 shot and then waiting for months to collect. Mind you Paddy has a habit of early settlement for the publicity.

It’s depressing times for Rangers fans, I’ve even read comments where certain supporters just want the season over before a ball is kicked. Celtics ability to buy low and sell high has been remarkable whilst Rangers end up with an overpriced shower of dross who run down their contracts before fucking off to Turkey. There is a growing gulf between the old firm. Not good for Celtic either as it’s unappealing to any aspiring player to join the SPL, Byrne days of signing legends such as Gascoigne, Laudrup, Larsson etc.. are long gone. 1/2 is money in the bank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the league so uncompetitive as it is if the Old Firm games are also one sided it will be bad news for the Scottish Premier League with them having very little rights incomes. What plans do Rangers have for getting funding to compete. I know they have been a right mess in the last few years Edited July 24 by philinvicta 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philinvicta Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Major new signing for Rangers on loan . Some bloke whose name no one can pronounce  and obviously did not speak to @Blacko before signing as he thinks he might win something ! https://www.rangers.co.uk/article/vaclav-cerny-wants-to-win-silverware/2JhuIimEPILzXle6HOWK4w 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1111 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Bookies have premier league title as a 2 horse race again. It's difficult to argue with that as I can't see where other winners will come from. Anyone have any fancies for the title outside the top 2 Â 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any fancies for the title outside the top 2  One thing i noticed is that after the Leicster win at 5000/1 that nobody is bigger than 2000/1.  One I think will go better than their price is Notts Forest but I doubt that anybody outside Man City or Arsenal will win in the end. If Arsenal get Toney then that might make it very close between the two.  I expect Arsenals price to get bigger as they do not have a great start to the season fixtures wise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think he has too many options. Not too many teams are interested in him which is a little surprising with his skills but the ban did him no good.

philinvicta Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Just looking at Toney and Brentford bought him for 5 million and he cost another 5 million in add ons.  He is on 20k a week and is talking about wanting 250k a week new contract. All that talk about him being worth 100 million before the ban  and now talk of he will run down the last year of his contract.  Brentford could be open to a 30 or 40 million offer .  After all that crap he spoke about Brentford and deserving to be at a better club I reckon Brentford should just cash in and get rid after all they players they have did ok whilst he was banned and it is not as though they are challenging to win the league. I can see him sitting out his contract looking for a pay day next year and would not be surprised to see him end up in Saudi. Another thing I read said that he may not be the best for a settled dressing room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philinvicta Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Also just to show the madness of football nowadays I see that Jhon Duran who Villa signed for 17.75 in the January 2023 transfer window  is being looked at by West Ham for 35 million and they are trebling his wages from 30k a week to 90k a week despite having just 25 league appearances in the 18 months he was with Villa. I also saw West ham were prepared to trade one of their best prospects in a swap deal plus money. looks like nothing changes at West Ham who whenever they get a good prospect look to sell them ( who can forget when they sold Cole Lampard and Ferdinand etc ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
