Did anyone place a bet for us to be relegated @ the start of the season?

No, I did Top 6 and promoted and Top 6. Really must cancel that holiday booked on the back of it! I'm OK though as I backed Southampton to go down.... D'oh!

Although many had reservations about the squad I don't think anybody thought we could finish bottom 3 and even if we were heading that way we would get a new manager in who would turn things around, how wrong we all were.
Fair play to you. (I hope you lose your bet, obviously)
No, but at least I didn't back you to go up as I did before Poyet's two Championship seasons with you.
Anyway, you're not going down. Once Hyypia is removed then you'll climb away from danger. How far you climb depends on who replaces Sami.
Actually there is one man who might take you down but stick with him and you'll be in The Premier League within five years. Paolo Di Canio and his loyal backroom team could struggle initially but in the long run would bring the best times B&HA have ever known.
I think Tony Bloom and Paolo would be a very good partnership, but I don't think it will happen.

My dad did, he said he thought things weren't right - I told him he was mad and wasting his money

No, on principle, despite being strongly advised to by someone close to the club.
As each day unfolds, and he's still not gone, I'm beginning to question if Tony Bloom is in some sort of denial over the serious mistake he made in hiring Hypia.

I had 10 at 20/1 pre season. I thought we were replacing premiership bench warmers with league 1 hopefuls. The Championship is a pretty average standard but if you can't keep a clean sheet you must be able to score more than the opposition to stay up. Pretty obvious but 46 points is relegation, I didn't rate Stockdale and couldn't see that we had replaced Leo. It was also 20/1 to get promoted at that time and of the two, I thought relegation offered best value. The bookies still don't see it that way so I think 4/1 is still fill yer boots value. I am off to wolves on Saturday and whilst it is normally a lucky ground I have no expectations other than Sami getting a hard time from the fans

Tony Bloom?
Yet another conspiracy theory to detract from the working day...........

I was seriously thinking about putting a £1000 on it, but to have a conflict of interest all season didn't sit well with me.
In hindsight I wish I took the gamble.

i managed to get 30/1 - only a few quid on it during pre season but like the posts above no confidence in the recruitment team, Barber or Sami from the get go and the players that were being brought in were never going to fill the shoes of those that have left...
i hope i'm wrong but at the same time would going down make Bloom wake up and see that this business model isnt working

At worst I thought we would be lower mid table but we are exceeding that by some margin and currently would struggle to win 5-games all season

If you haven't already got an account, why not help yourself to a no risk bet with BetVictor (£25 free) by having a wager on whatever you want! Personally think Leeds at 7/2 for relegation with BetVictor (especially with a no lose bet) makes sense! Good luck!

Strictly speaking, I don't think you CAN be relegated at the start of the season..............
