Arsenal odds-on to win nothing – again!
BOOKIES HAIL ARSENAL’S MULTI MILLION MIX-UP

THE Arsenal defensive mix-up which cost them the Carling Cup was worth £10 million to bookies. ‘We faced a seven figure payout had Arsenal gone on to win the Quadruple and as much again had they lifted the Carling Cup itself, so that defensive mix-up was a £10million bonus for the bookmaking industry’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.’Punters had plunged cash on Arsenal as though defeat was out of the question – but Alex McLeish – and Ben Foster – found the answer.’
AND HILLS NOW MAKE ARSENAL ODDS ON TO ENDURE YET ANOTHER SEASON WITH NO TROPHIES. Hills offer 8/15 that the Gunners will finish the season trophy-less once more, but quote them at 80/1 to win the three remaining trophies they are contesting.
ARSENE WENGER is 9/1 with Hills to cease to be Arsenal manager by the first day of next season, but 1/25 to remain in place. ‘Just how long will the Arsenal fans remain loyal to Arsene Wenger if his trophy-less run continues’ asked Hill’s spokesman Sharpe.

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

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

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.

Chelsea are 5/4 to win no trophies this season, although the Blues are 11/10 to win this year’s Premier League.

Guus Hiddink is the 6/4 favourite to be the next permanent Chelsea manager, ahead of 13/2 Didier Deschamps and 8/1 Frank Rijkaard. Fan’s favourite Jose Mourinho is 10/1.

You Bet Stoke Boss Safest In Division !

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

YOU BET TONY PULIS SAFEST BOSS BET TO SURVIVE UNTIL NEXT SEASON…..

WITH A NUMBER OF PREMIER LEAGUE managers under short or long term pressure for various reasons, William Hill have opened a book on the individual chances of each of the 20 bosses leaving their current club before the first day of next season or not and, slightly surprisingly, have made Stoke’s Tony Pulis the best bet still to be in place when 2011/12 season kicks off. ‘You can make a case for almost every one of the 20 managers not to be in place on the first day of next season – Fergie may have retired, Arsene Wenger may have quit after winning nothing again, Ancelotti hay have won everything and fancy a new challenge, other bosses may have been sacked after disappointing seasons – but we think Tony Pulis is bomb-proof at Stoke and make him 1/20 still to be there’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘But we reckon Roy Hodgson is the most vulnerable boss at the moment – and he’s 4/7 to be gone by the first day of the next campaign, with Chris Hughton not far behind him at 8/11.’

HODGSON AND HUGHTON NOW JOINT FAVOURITES TO BE NEXT BOSS OUT

Under pressure Newcastle boss Chris Hughton has been cut from 7/2 to 6/4 joint favourite with Roy Hodgson to be the next Prem manager to leave his club. ‘Rumours are rife that Hughton is not guaranteed a new contract with Newcastle, and the weekend derby against Sunderland could be crucial for his future prospects’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills make Rooney 8/15 to score more than his younger team-mate, with a tie between them offered at 8/1. ‘Wayne has inadvertently heaped even more pressure on his own shoulders during a period in which he is showing only glimpses of his best form, and the new kid on the block is threatening to out-shoot the ageing gunslinger!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
