Premier League Title 2010/11
Late July early August is always put your money where your mouth is time for the massive community that bet on the Premier League. So who are the main runners and riders this time round and who'll end up on top of the pile? The traditional 'big four' were shaken up a bit last year and look to be again this time round with Man City and Spurs challenging the traditional order of things.
History has shown that a fat cheque book and an impatient billionaire can win you the league although it's difficult to get instant success through this route and usually takes a manager or 2 to get there, just ask Claudio Ranieri. Chelsea did 'buy' the trophy in only 2 years for Abramovich, the question is can the new super rich club Man City match that timescale? Lifting the trophy this season looks to be a bit beyond them if the odds makers are to be believed with
The favourites for the title according to
Sir Alex Ferguson however will never be out of the title race as long as he's at the helm at Man Utd and season 25 is a nice round number. The Red Devils are at 3.8 to secure Fergie his 12th title with punters favourite
Third favourites City then, the money men, 100 million plus looks to be the money spent this summer picking up some of the world's best players. The biggest names in world football don't just come for a giant pay-check though (although it helps!) players want medals to look back on in retirement. The bank balance will look pretty impressive having played in any of five or six of Europe's top flights. Can City deliver silverware this season then? The main difference between Man City now and Chelsea of 2005 could well be the manager. Mourinho had the already won the title in his head before a ball was kicked and the rest was merely a formality for the special one. Will Mancini be able to do the same? Odds of 6.0 at
Making up what may be the new 'big four' are Arsenal, with odds of 8.0 and another having not strengthened big and Wenger won't have done enough to improve from last season standing still is probably also beyond them. A better outside bet might well be Spurs at 40.0 on
