2012 Fa Cup Is Over…roll On 2013 Di Matteo 4/7 To Still Be In Charge Next Season
Chelsea won the FA Cup 2012 and William Hill make them 7/1 joint third favourites to win next seasons competition behind the two Manchester sides, with Liverpool 10/1 to do so. Roberto Di Matteos interview for the Chelsea job appears to be going swimmingly and William Hill make the Italian 4/7 to be in charge of the club on the first day of next season (5/4 he is not). On the other side of the managers technical area, Kenny Dalglish has not had the best of times and he is 5/6 to have left Liverpool by the start of next season (5/6 to still be there).
Di Matteo has turned the fortunes of Chelsea around and whatever the result in Germany, we think that he will still be manager next season, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
Fernando Torres failed to play a single minute of the final and Hills make him 9/4 to have left Chelsea by the start of next season. Andy Carroll started the match on the bench but came on and bossed the forward line for Liverpool and he is 8/15 to still be at Liverpool come the start of next season.
A potentially contentious decision saw Andy Carrolls header saved by Petr Cech with it unsure as to whether the ball had crossed the line and Hills offer 9/4 that goal-line technology is introduced in England by the first game of next season (1/3 that it is not).
