Carroll Odds On For First Time To Leave Liverpool

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Liverpool have been fielding bids for Andy Carroll from all over the UK as it was revealed that Newcastle had joined Fulham and West Ham in the race for the striker and William Hill make the Magpies 7/4 favourites to be Carroll’s next club. West Ham and Fulham are 11/4 and 6/1 respectively. After initially making clear their wish to sign him, news reports linking AC Milan with a move for Carroll have died down and they are now offered at 10/1 to be his next club.

“Carroll certainly has a long list of suitors but with Liverpool reportedly only willing to get rid of him permanently, it remains to be seen as to whether any side can afford him,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill think an exit for the Liverpool targetman is ever more likely, with Hills making him 5/6 to have left the club by the start of the season.

Andy Carroll next club: 7/4 Newcastle; 11/4 West Ham; 6/1 Fulham; 6/1 Aston Villa; 10/1 AC Milan; 16/1 Malaga; 20/1 PSG; 20/1 Arsenal; 20/1 Tottenham; 25/1 Chelsea; 25/1 Reading; 25/1 Ajax; 25/1 Stoke; 25/1 Norwich; 25/1 Manchester City; 25/1 Manchester United; 33/1 Bayern Munich; 40/1 Inter Milan; 40/1 Everton; 40/1 Sunderland; 66/1Real Madrid; 66/1 Barcelona…others on request

Andy Carroll at Liverpool on the first day of 2012/13 season: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no

“There is no doubting that Lee Clark is a talented young manager and he swiftly became favourite for the Leeds job as soon as he was relieved of his duties at Huddersfield,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Whether he would jump back into management so soon though is another matter.”

Latest Leeds Boss: 11/8 Lee Clark; 3/1 Mick McCarthy; 9/2 Neil Warnock; 7/1 Steve Bruce; 11/1 Neil Redfearn; 12/1 Billy Davies; 14/1 Dan Petrescu; 14/1 Dave Jones; 20/1 BAR

Of the three English sides in the competition, Hills think that two of them will progress from this round, offering 5/6 about that happening. Hills go Even money that Manchester United outscore their noisy neighbours (City 7/4 and a tie 13/5).

Stoke could well struggle in their tie against Valencia and Hills offer 4/7 that they are eliminated in at the end of this round of fixtures.

Highest scoring Brit match:

13/10 Ajax/Manchester United
13/8 Porto/Manchester City
11/5 Stoke/Valencia

Stoke had a pretty tough time of it against Valencia at the Britannia and they are 8/1 to qualify (1/20 Valencia).

“Manchesters United and City are the favourites for the whole competition and should they avoid each other in the latter rounds and continue to play the way that they both did tonight, there is no reason why they cannot meet in the final of this competition,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

You Bet City Could Be Blue And Pool Could Be Red Faced

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Manchester City and Liverpool have left themselves with a lot to do in the second leg of their last 16 ties in the Europa League and William Hill are offering 5/1 that both sides progress into the quarter finals.

“5/1 reflects the hole that both Manchester City and Liverpool find themselves in after indifferent first leg performances,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “We would be very surprised if at least one of the sides did not progress.”

Braga performed well in their home leg, but having lost 6-0 to Arsenal, Liverpool are 16/1 to emulate that feat and score six or more goals. New signing, Andy Carroll is yet to get off the mark, but Hills are offering 8/13 that he scores anytime during their match against Braga, while he is 2/1 to score with his head.

Manchester City are 2/1 to qualify against Dynamo Kiev and 4/9 to win in 90 minutes. With the Manchester City owners seemingly demanding silverware this season, Hills are offering 20/1 that they win the Europa League and the FA Cup. Should they fail, the chances of Mancini staying in charge seem slim and he is 13/8 to have left his position by the first game of next season.

Manchester City/D. Kiev:

90 Minutes: 4/9 Man City; 7/1 Dynamo Kiev; 3/1 Draw

To Qualify: 4/11 Dynamo Kiev; 2/1 Manchester City

Liverpool/Braga:

90 Minutes: 4/9 Liverpool; 7/1 Braga; 3/1 Draw

To Qualify: 4/6 Liverpool; 11/10 Braga

Europa League Outright: 11/4 Porto; 6/1 Liverpool; 6/1 Villarreal; 13/2 Dynamo Kiev; 8/1 Manchester City; 10/1 Twente; 11/1 Benfica; 16/1 Spartak Moscow; 20/1 PSV Eindhoven; 25/1 PSG; 40/1 Braga; 40/1 Rangers; 50/1 Bayer Leverkusen; 50/1 Ajax; 66/1 CSKA Moscow; 80/1 Zenit St Petersburg

16/1 Liverpool to score six or more
2/1 Andy Carroll to score a header
20/1 City to win FA Cup and Europa League

British Team To Go Furthest: 11/10 Liverpool; 6/4 Manchester City; 11/4 Rangers

5/1 Manchester City and Liverpool to both qualify for next round of Europa League

Highest Scoring British Game:
Liverpool/Braga 7/4
Man City/D. Kiev 6/4
Rangers/PSV 7/4

Roberto Mancini to be in charge on the first day of next season: 4/9 Yes; 13/8 No
