If we had that Carlsberg Saturday and then stayed up, the odds of that are about 75/1. Our bit of that is about 7/1 to survive. All definitely possible albeit highly unlikely.

Re: The summer Trafford/Muric dilemma
I would also keep him as number 1 (no disrespect to young Traffs) and value Muric at about £30m given age and improvement potential, but I still see him going in the summer for £10m-£15m.
Basically, we have probably, left it too late, and there will be a lot of bad news to come if we have.

I reckon the bookies odds are correct, gone from a 1% chance of us surviving to about 15%.
Still expect an appeal stitch up, not in our favour.

Maybe a bit more open than expected about the inexperience, even though it is obvious. I think the line sums our season up.
