When the full Championship line-up for 2023/24 was confirmed, the bookies initially installed Cardiff City as a 50/1 chance for the title.

When Erol Bulut was given the job as manager, the odds dropped to 66/1.

Following the signings of Yakou Meite, Karlan Grant and Aaron Ramsey, the odds have drifted again to 80/1.

The bookies were originally predicting City would finish somewhere between 14th and 16th. They are now predicting a finish between 20th and 22nd.

Work that one out, because I can’t. The downward trend in the odds following the recent signings doesn’t make any sense to me at all.
