Wigan lost their appeal .....

Wigan Athletic's relegation to League One confirmed after appeal fails

OXFORD United will face Wigan Athletic in Sky Bet League One next season after their appeal against a points deduction failed.

Suspect they'll be one of two things next year.......

If they can find owners that are willing to sink some money in, and they can keep the bulk of this year's squad together, they'll probably be the best team in League One. After all, they're basically a mid-table Championship team this season and they finished the year on a roll.

On the other hand, if they can't find anyone willing to come in and underwrite some losses, then they're going to have to wildly cut their playing squad down. And they could end up being next season's Bolton, the financial basket case that ends up playing half the youth team and getting relegated by February.

One more week as they said two weeks after championship play offs.

At least with the League Cup and EFL Trophy matches being played before the Season starts, it will allow Robbo to play strong line-ups to fine tune his preferred starting team in the league.

Almost like an extension to the pre-season matches.

Once the league has commenced revert to using fringe and youth players in EFL Trophy matches.

Bit early but bookies fancy us to push for promotion again

 

[Leysboy]

I fancy us as well. Them odds are very generous for a quality side. Our odds should be shorter imo.

The 9/1 is for the winner - we're more like 3/1 for promotion which is probably about right.

If you sync your phone to get the fixtures added to your electronic diary they (ECAL) want full access to your diary and permission to share your diary!!

11/1 at bet365 and 3.3/1 for promotion. Got a couple of quid on both!!

Brave man. I don't bet on Oxford anymore as always seems to go the other way.

 

[bashamwonderland]

Hmmm the first season or two after a playoff final loss are normally quite tough. I wouldn't be predicting a canter to promotion this time. Playoff challenge would do me.

Yeah I know what the odds are for both. I think we should be shorter for the title.

Brentford were losers in the playoffs, and they are favourites.

They always put Pompey and Sunderland, but always fall short, and I don’t think either have strengthened. Just my opinion.

Tomorrow.

Scotchers: are you expecting any transfer business to be done in what remains of this week?

In fairness, I was expecting at least one more (but likely 2) by now. The club are staggering announcements, and the sock was a clear example that they won't be rushed! Happy to go with the flow!
