Leicester?

Nah...

It will be somebody like Levante.

 

[Kenny]

Leicester?

Nah...

It will be somebody like Levante.

Leicester are in the States so no chance.

It will either be someone like Stoke or, as you say, some low end Foreign team

 

[Tony Towner]

Leicester?

Nah...

It will be somebody like Levante.

...and as with previous years it'll be the day after they've played another English club and we'll get their second team

Bournemouth...

 

[Derby Wolf]

Friendlies against Crewe and Port Vale announced for 15th and 23rd July respectively.

 

[Freddeno]

Great i hope we can get a draw from one of them..

That's unfair, we only draw at home. Away is a 2-1 loss!

Sorry, i was a bit optimistic!

 

[Norman Deeley]

Very early betting on the Champo for next season and it's not looking good for the men in gold and black... http://www.oddschecker.com/football...onship-2016-17/winner?selectionName=newcastle

On the bright side Dean said we'd stay up because the bookies were predicting it. *Sees straw. Clutches it*

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I wouldn't read too much into that. One small bet and we would be up to 20/1 sixth or seventh favourites.

What it really shows is that the division is expected to be absolutely wide open.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Also I doubt that all three relegated clubs will go straight back up.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Highly unlikely but they will be at the top of the betting until the playoffs are sorted. Villa have odds of 14/1 so hardly cast iron!

 

[FrankMunro-371]

I am surprised we are playing Port Vale, given the trouble there a couple of years ago.

 

[Norman Deeley]

Also I doubt that all three relegated clubs will go straight back up.

Completely agree - I certainly wouldn't take a short price about Newcastle. But bookies clearly don't expect Wolves to be spending much this summer...

 

[Kenny]

Jez knows Wolves won't be Spending much this summer so the Bookies are on the ball.

I suppose if we get a new owner, who gets shot of Moxey and KJ, and gives the new manager a few bob to spend, then we would be expected to get in or around the top six.

A lot of ifs and maybes there though.

 

[Kenny]

A new owner is the key to us going forward regardless of any other actions

The new owner doesn't auto mean handshakes and best of luck speeches for Jez & KJ though (it should but no guarantee)

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

I think next season hangs on how advanced we are at being taken over. If we're still courting potential investors (which I personally think we are) then I doubt we will have any change or real chance of success next season.

If we were in advanced talks with a single party then there may be some chance for the season, at the moment theres not much positivity looking forward until the ownership situation is resolved for me
