Coca-Cola Championship Preview 2008/09
FOOTBALL – CHAMPIONSHIP 2008-09 SEASON PREVIEW
Whereas the Premiership can be whittled down to a small number of serious contenders (at least at the top end) the Championship is a different story entirely. The 2008-09 Championship looks, on paper at least, to be one of the most competitive ever. A great level of expectation surrounds clubs such as Queens Park Rangers and beaten play-off semi-finalists Crystal Palace. The favourites, QPR, are still something of an unknown quantity. They have plenty of financial clout, but from a punting perspective, Iain Dowie’s presence is offputting.
Relegated Birmingham and Reading have the quality to be promotion contenders, while Crystal Palace and Watford both have managers who have taken sides up to the Premier League. Ipswich, Sheffield United and Wolves ended last season…

WHO IS GOING TO WIN EURO 2008?
The tournament that all of England has been waiting for with gritted teeth (Thanks once again Steve McClaren for saving us the agony of another Quarter Final exit on penalties) kicks off on Saturday, and having already previewed each team’s individual strengths and weaknesses, we now look at who the likely winners are going to be – And it’s a case of the usual suspects, but there are more than a few dark horses (with tempting odds) circling with intent – Let’s not forget Euro 2004 was won by 100/1 “nobodies” Greece – Surely it can’t happen again…

Past Championships
The Spanish national side seems cursed at World Cups and European Championships, more often than not starting amongst the pre-tournament favourites, and then struggling to qualify or capitulating at the quarter-final stage. They seem to prove the point that a squad…

Past Championships
A study of the Greek side’s inauspicious qualification record for the European Championships makes their victory in Euro 2004 all the more remarkable. Their only previous appearance at the tournament finals consisted of elimination at the group stage in Italy 1980, and there was no…

Austria, co-hosts for Euro 2008 have a 100% record in the tournament. Having built sides capable of qualifying for the World Cup, most recently in 1990 and 1998, the Austrians have never qualified for the European Championships, in twelve attempts…

Past Championships
Following a fourth place in the inaugural tournament of 1960, France failed to qualify for the next five Championships finals. This is somewhat surprising given the overall quality of French teams of the 1960s and 70s. The side has consistently failed to assert its…

Next Chelsea Manager Odds
Update: 9th Feb 2009 – Chelsea have just announced that Luis Scolari has been sacked as Chelsea manager, so the book on who will succeed him is now open!
Below is the original content, written after the sacking of Avram Grant in the summer of 2008.
What usually happens after a manager is sacked is all the bookies release the odds of the likely (and not-so-likely) candidates to take over, and then tens of thousands of people pour their money down the drain betting on Martin O’Neill, Sam Allardyce or Glenn Hoddle. The situation at Stamford Bridge is a very different one however – Barely a week after their loss to Manchester United in the Champions League final which lead to the sacking of Avram Grant…
