Notts County Betting - Can Sven Goran Eriksson Revive an Old Bird?

Bookie Paddy Power is offering 100/1 that Notts County will be in the Premier League in four seasons time following Sven Goran Eriksson's imminent arrival to the club as Director of Football.

With the recent takeover from Middle East consortium Munto Finance and Sven's appointment Notts County are now 8/1 to win this season's League Two title and 5/2 for promotion.

The Meadow Lane club had been 25/1 for the title prior to the Arab takeover and 12/1 before news of the Swede's appointment.

Another flirtation with relegation out of the Football League also looks to be a distant memory with the club 25/1 to be relegated should it all end in tears.

The ambitious new owners have set their sights on Championship football as a priority and Paddy Power is offering 16/1 they secure a slot in that division by the start of the 2011/12 season.

Whilst it is 100/1 they have made it all the way to the Premier League a year later, the shortest time possible with three successive promotions required.
