There still seems to be a belief that the new(ish) owners of QPR plan to invest signficant amounts of money into QPR i.e do a 'Chelsea'. This can be the only reason why QPR are 1st/2nd favourites for the 2008-09 Championship. However, transfer activity this summer has made it clear the owners intend to take a longer term approach.
QPR improved their performnance in the 2nd half of last season to take them into mid-table position. A repeat of this performance would make them likely to finish approximately 7th-8th this season.
Skybet have launched a who will finsih bottom on the handicap market. The prices for this equate to the outright prices (inverted). I've therefore had 4pts at 14-1 on QPR to 'win' this market (missed the 18-1 whilst checking facts on QPR, damm.). A 7th/8th position *may* be enough to win this bet.
The full list of teams (and their handicaps) are listed below.
QPR Scr Watford +9 Coventry +19
Birmingham scr Bristol City +12 Sheff Wed +19
Reading +3 Charlton +12 Burnley +22
Wolves +3 Cardiff +15 Preston +22
Derby +4 Notts Forest +19 Doncaster +24
Sheff Utd +6 Swansea +19 Plymouth +24
Crystal Palace +7 Norwich +19 Barnsley +28
