(Football League Two is the 4th Level of football in England, and the lowest rung of League football.)
Promotion favorites: {click here (Statto.com)}. The oddsmakers have made these clubs the favorites for promotion [Note: unlike the higher levels, 4 clubs, not 3 clubs, get promoted to League One each season]… Notts County (on the strength of their new, deep-pocketed owners and the appointment of Sven Göran-Eriksson as Director of Football) Rotherham United; Bradford City; Shrewsbury Town (who lost in May at Wembley to Gillingham, in the Playoffs Final); Northampton Town; and Bury (who lost in the 1st Round of the Playoffs in May). Also rated for promotion are Bournemouth, Chesterfield, and Rochdale (who lost in the Playoffs 1st Round in May).
Here is an article on the recent events at Nottingham’s less prominent club, Notts County, called ‘Sven on the Trent? Don’t laugh, this could well be the future’ {click here (Guardian.co.uk article from 22nd July, by Barney Ronay)}.
