33/1 Fergie To See Red Against Old Enemy

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

Alex Ferguson has been charged by the FA could be forced to watch his side from the stands if he is found guilty. The fiery Scot already has a suspended ban hanging over him and bookmakers, William Hill, are offering 6/1 that he gets another ban this season (should he receive a ban pertaining to his current FA charge). He is 33/1 to see red against Liverpool and get sent to the stands.

“Liverpool have really gone backwards since Kenny Dalglish left in 1991 and Fergie will be looking to flex his muscles against his old enemy some 20 years later,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “He just has to make sure that he does not flex too hard.”

Should United win the Premier League this season, for which they are 8/13, Fergie could well call it a day, having broken Liverpool’s League record and Hills offer 11/2 that he is not in charge of The Reds at the start of the 2011/2012 season. He is 3/1 to not be in charge of United come the start of the 2012/2013 season.

William Hill Alex Ferguson Prices:

6/1 To receive another ban this season (not including the current charge he is facing)
33/1 To be sent to the stands against Liverpool

Will Ferguson be at Manchester United at the start of the 2011/12 season: 1/10 Yes; 11/2 No
Will Ferguson be at Manchester United at the start of the 2012/13 season: 2/9 Yes; 3/1 No

8/13 Manchester United win the Premier League this season

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

William Hill are offering 25/1 that Peterborough win League 1 and 50/1 that Darren Ferguson is Sir Alex Ferguson’s replacement at Manchester United. For Ferguson to get Peterborough into the Premier League within five years is 16/1.

“Because of his family ties, Ferguson will always be in the running for the Manchester United job, however, the odds suggest that Fergie Sr’s retirement, when it comes, will be a touch too early for his son,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills are also offering odds on how many Manchester United players Peterborough take on loan during January and are offering 5/6 that none make the move. It is 3/1 that one swaps Old Trafford for London Road and 2/1 that two do.

William Hill Peterborough/Darren Ferguson Odds:

How Many Manchester United Players Will Peterborough Take On Loan (January signings only): 5/6 None; 2/1 Two; 3/1 One

What Division Will Darren Ferguson’s Next Job Be In: 13/8 League 1; 9/4 Championship; 3/1 League Two; 4/1 Other; 16/1 Premier League

You Bet Preston Fans Will Be Browned Off

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

YOU BET PRESTON FANS WILL STILL BE BROWNED OFF!

Despite appointing Phil Brown as their new manager, Preston are 7/4 with William Hill to remain in the Championship and 2/5 to be relegated – while Hills offer Even money that Brown will get them off the bottom of the table at any stage of the rest of the season, but Even money that they never manage to rise above that position.
‘Brown seems to relish a challenge – which is just as well considering Preston’s current plight’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
After Sir Alex Ferguson called back all of the Man U players on loan at Preston, Hills offer 5/2 that any United player will figure in the Preston side for any Championship game during the rest of the season.
Hills also offer 25/1 that Brown will keep his players on the pitch during half time of any Championship match this season, and 8/1 that the new boss will entertain the fans by singing on the pitch at any stage of the Championship season.’Brown is one of the game’s more eccentric characters so Preston fans can probably look forward to one or two surprise exploits’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WHERE WILL LIVERPOOL FINISH THE SEASON?

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on where Liverpool will finish the Premier League season in the table and make 5th-7th their 11/8 favourite. ‘Perhaps it is something of a damning indictment on the general current lack of quality in the Premier League that a club performing as badly as Liverpool can still be predicted to finish on the heels of the top four’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

MANCHESTER UNITED SPECIALS…….
Hernandez 11/10 to outscore Rooney, as:
UNITED 12/1 TO STAY UNBEATEN AND 10/11 TO PROVE STRONGER IN SECOND HALF OF SEASON

WITH MANCHESTER UNITED still unbeaten in the Premier League, William Hill have opened a book on how many games they will lose during the season and make them 12/1 to go unbeaten throughout, and 4/1 to lose five or more games. And Hills are also backing Alex Ferguson’s belief that United traditionally do better in the second half of the season, by making them 10/11 to clock up more points in their last 19 games than the first 19 in which they collected 41 points.

With Hernandez threatening to keep Wayne Rooney out of the United side if he continues to score regularly, Hills make the Mexican 11/10 to out score Rooney in terms of Prem goals this season.

‘The United to remain unbeaten bandwagon is rolling now, but we are sceptical that they will manage to match Arsenal’s unique Premiership achievement of an unbeaten campaign, but it is quite possible that United will fulfill Sir Alex’s prediction of a more successful second half of the season – and Hernandez looks well capable of embarrassing Rooney by out-scoring him’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Grant Next To Go Following Hughton Departure

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

Following the departure of Chris Hughton, William Hill have reopened the betting of the next Premier League manager to leave. West Ham manager Avram Grant is the 7/4 favourite ahead of Wolves manager, Mick McCarthy, and Manchester City’s Roberto Mancini both at 5/1. For another manager to go before Christmas is 7/4.

“Chris Hughton’s departure came as quite a shock seeing as he was 16/1 at the start of the weekend. Under-Fire Avram Grant was the favourite to go before we suspended betting and now the market has reopened he is once again walking on a knife edge” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Next Manager To Go Odds:

7/4 Avram Grant; 5/1 Mick McCarthy; 5/1 Roberto Mancini; 6/1 Carlo Ancelotti; 10/1 Roberto Martinez; 11/1 Roy Hodgson; 20/1 Ian Holloway; 20/1 Mark Hughes; 25/1 Next Newcastle Manager; 25/1 Sam Allardyce; 28/1 No Manger To Go; 33/1 Alex McLeish; 33/1 David Moyes; 33/1 Steve Bruce; 40/1 Gerard Houllier; 50/1 Owen Coyle; 50/1 Roberto Di Matteo; 50/1 Arsene Wenger; 66/1 Tony Pulis; 100/1 Sir Alex Ferguson; 100/1 Harry Redknapp

Tottenham, Liverpool, Chelsea and Newcastle all scored which made it the first time in Premier League history that all 20 teams have scored in the Premier League and defied odds of 486/1 on William Hill’s ‘will both teams score’ coupon. Hills are offering odds of 16/1 that it happens again this season.

Chelsea failed to win once more and Hills are offering 7/1 that Chelsea fail to register three points before Christmas. They are 1/3 to defeat Everton next week, however. Ancelotti will be feeling the strain again and Hills are 9/4 that he has left his position by the opening game of next season. He is also 7/1 to be the next manager to go.

Roy Hodgson’s Liverpool managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and he is now 7/1 to be the next manager to leave their job. Avram Grant is the 10/11 favourite.

“It really was a fantastic weekend of football with upsets and plenty of goals. It may be a long time until we see another one like it,” said Hill’s spomkesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Premier League Odds:

2nd Manager To Leave: 10/11 Avram Grant; 5/1 Roberto Mancini; 13/2 Roberto Martinez; 7/1 Carlo Ancelotti; 7/1 Roy Hodson; 8/1 Mick McCarthy; 16/1 Chris Hughton; 20/1 Ian Holloway; 20/1 Mark Hughes; 25/1 Sam Allardyce; 25/1 Arsene Wenger; 33/1 Roberto Di Matteo; 33/1 Steve Bruce; 33/1 Alex McLeish; 33/1 Gerrard Houllier; 33/1 Owen Coyle; 33/1 Tony Pulis; 33/1 No Manager To Go; 40/1 David Moyes; 66/1 Harry Redknapp; 66/1 Sir Alex Ferguson

When Will Chelsea Next Win: 1/3 Everton; 13/2 Marseille; 7/1 Tottenham; 10/1 Manchester United; 7/1 None Of These Fixtures (Must be played in that order)

Ancelotti to be manager of Chelsea for the first game of next season: 1/3 Yes; 9/4 No
