Support For Swiss To Beat England As Hartson Becomes Wales Boss Contender

SWISS BACKED TO ROLL OVER ENGLAND

William Hill say punters are placing bigger bets on Switzerland than England to win their Euro qualifier – ‘We have taken bets of 1500 euros and £1200 for the Swiss at 7/2, along with scores of other, smaller bets, while the support for England consists pretty much just of the two £1100 bets we have taken for them at 5/6 – for once, and it is exceedingly rare – we face a much higher liability for England’s opponents and as our book stands pre-kick off the Swiss are likely to be a six figure loser for us, thus enabling us to support England for once – unless there is a late rush of support.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

William Hill – 7/2 Switzerland; 12/5 draw; England 5/6.

HARTSON FOR WALES?

JOHN Hartson has declared himself a contender for the job of Wales manager, and William Hill now make the fomer Luton Town striker 12/1 seventh favourite for the job, for which Ryan Giggs is 11/4 favourite with Hills also offering 3/1 Brian Flynn; 7/2 Chris Coleman; 6/1 Mark Hughes; 9/1 Gary Speed; 10/1 Dean Saunders. ‘There has been no substantial support for anyone as yet which suggests that noone has yet been directly approached about the role’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
