Bookies Predict Toon Progress Won't Be This Season

Last updated : 12 July 2011 By Footy Mad - Editor

The bookies tell us three clubs - Man Utd, Chelsea and Man City - will challenge for the title, with Newcastle looking at odds of 2000/1 to triumph.

But, let's be honest, we know we won't be breaking the Top Four, but we hope to push on to challenge Spurs and Liverpool (or am I deluding myself?).

We don't seriously expect another relegation battle, but the bookies suggest we won't be that far away - with odds of 8/1 - worse than the Mackems, Fulham and Stoke City.

Is Alan Pardew safe? Not exactly, but there are bigger heads to fall ahead of him. Harry Redknapp at 11/1 is surprising but the odds are low because Fabio Capello is walking a very thin line as England boss. And odds say Steve Bruce is third favourite for the chop.
