Have a feeling either York or Boston will win it.

I also fancy York to win it but Alfreton at 33/1 could be a good each way bet.

Southport at 12/1 is pretty decent.

Kidderminster will be well in the mix.

I think it'll be much more open this year - any number of teams could do well, it might be easier to predict who won't.

Teams change so much from season to season predicting a winner in June is difficult Kiddy have lost 4 of last seasons side already with a possibility of at least two more but they will have money to buy a couple of key signings for York will make them better Boston also, Nuneaton are up for sale with a winding up order hanging over them so maybe a reprieve for Tamworth or Gainsborough. So much up in the air at the moment

Chester have just received a £1m investment (over the next 3 years), let's hope they use it more wisely than they have done in the past...

Don't hold your breath.

They've made a hell of a lot of signings - obviously one or two Salford cast-offs.  Scott Burton is a great signing in the middle of the park.

They've signed Ashton's two full backs, Smalley and Pritchard (who I thought were their best players), as well as ex-Alty CB Jon Moran, Steve Howson from Southport and a few others besides.

Unfortunately I can't see them not being in the mix. I can't stand how cocky their managers are, I really hope they fail.

Alfreton due a bit of a windfall from Aden Flint moving to Middlesbrough, although it looks like it's a percentage of a percentage.

I've never heard of a club having a recurring sell on clause? Surely once he left Swindon for Bristol City and Alfreton got their percentage of the fee for that deal that's them done?

That's what I used to think - but clubs tend to word the clause as 'x% of future profit' - meaning they get the same percentage again if there is another sell-on.

This all relies on each club in the chain inserting their own sell-on, which I believe is quite commonplace amongst deals now.

Win win then! Cheers for the info.

Let's say Alfreton got 10% when he went to Bristol City, and are entitled to 10% of any future profit. Swindon may be entitled to 10% of the future profit, so Alfeton would in fact get 1% of THAT profit. Each subsequent sale would further dilute Alfreton's windfall.

It's usually always based on profit as well, therefore if the next club in the chain sells for less than they bought, you get nothing (rather than a percentage of a percentage of the whole fee, which is what I used to think).

Duncan will be a good example of all this if/when he moves on from Sunderland.

We're out to 33/1 on William Hill.

EDIT: Managed to back this in-store, for those who prefer to bet that way.

still a stingy 20/1 on bet 365

Anyone manage to get on at 33/1? Completely gone now.
