I'm referencing the actual odds - not the overall favourite. There is of course better value to be had on Everton being seen as slight outsiders in the betting tonight with the bookmakers.
13/10 to 11/5 isn't a 'big jump' either. That gap can literally be covered by the home advantage swing - it's nothing to do with the disparate quality of each side.
Anyway - swerving this discussion unless it gets taken to the match thread (or not preferably, as I cba with the hyperbole anyone).

We won our last 3 PL games in a row and we have a stronger squad when compared to last year.
Leeds have just signed …checks notes… DCL to challenge Patrick bamford who scored … checks notes … zero goals late year.
They’ve also signed Sean Longstaff in midfield.
If we’d made their signings everyone would be going mad.
And yet, *clear* favourites.

The bookies see what we can see: a team that cant score.
We need another CF in here badly.
Totally different.
Grealish was a record fee at £100m not so long ago.
It's safe to say we know what we're getting.
It's an actual loan, and one in which we retain an option to buy.
Clubs paying a big fee hoping to untap potential, which selling clubs can take back on a whim - feeder club/glorified loan.
What next? A take back fee - force the selling club to take a player back if they don't perform?!
No wonder Everton never bought Doak - optics would have been horrendous with a buy back. Thankfully for the likes of Liverpool, there's no mark teams who'll oblige. They bank the PSR benefit, and mitigate the risk of losing elite talent. Everyone knows their place.
If it was up to me, buy backs wouldn't be allowed - just on the basis they risk circumventing loan limits.
Didn't Villa do the same thing recently with Philogene?
Knew they could sell him for more than the buy back - so bought back, knowing they can sell for more.
It's a part of the game that'll be exploited to the benefit of the teams at the top, again and again.

I think that's harsh. Everyone has to start somewhere and what teams like Brighton, Brentford and Bournemouth have done is to be admired.
The key is their youth development and smart aquisitions without breaking the bank. It also needs a strong management structure - and each of these may struggle following manager changes. Brentford are most vulnerable - but they do have money in the bank so it's whether someone like Andrews will be backed with some major buys. I doubt it.
Forest are muscling their way in - and they are gambling to an extent - with the safeguard that they do have some very saleable assets should they need to raise funds for PSR purposes.
We are also playing it cagey - such as with people like Dibling. I think we could pay what Saints want - but we cannot fall foul of PSR again - so that may mean putting too much into one basket if it means we can't get 2 others in within a total remaining budget of say £20-30m range. We do need immediate RB / RW and middle of midfield - so 3 at least - and there are players that are around that we could get for a total budget of around £70-75m. Paying £45m for Dibling wouldn't necessarily allow much scope for another 2. I do really like the lad though - but if I was picking my fantasy team and had a limited budget for 3 players then he wouldn't be one I'd buy at this stage.
Let's also be honest - PSR is an absolute farce though when City / Chelsea / Utd and RS have spent what they have. It's like playing monopoly with someone who has their own bank.

A fully fit DCL would start over Beto and Barry. Whether he’ll ever be fully fit again is open to debate.
We’ve been chasing Longstaff for years - he’s a solid performer and in my opinion better than Garner and Iroegbunam.
people moaning and the seasons not started till 3 hours and 15 minutes
lads i really happy you know with the current future etc
i refuse to let any of you in my head

leon Bailey going Rome, haven‘t followed him in recent yrs, but would he have been an option to consider?
Marcus Kendall
Player Valuation: £10m
DCL clearly was to risky to give the wages he wanted
and what would you say you’ve seen from sean longcrap?
i’ve only ever seen him run around a lot
Buy backs need to be banned. The bigger teams hoover up youngsters, keep the best ones and allow the lesser ones to go with an option to take them back if they turn out any good.
Another thing, like PSR, that will keep them at the top
not to moyes mate.
i mean i know we all say why not this player etc
but it’s not upto us
