With the Premier League season just weeks away, William Hill are already speculating on which of the most endangered of species, Premiership managers, will be first to go. William Hill make Newcastle’s Chris Hughton the 4/1 favourite to bite the bullet, with big spending Man City 5/1 to give Roberto Mancini the elbow first. Elsewhere, Roberto Di Matteo is 11/2, Roberto Martinez 7/1 and Steve Bruce 8/1. The longest serving managers in the Premiership Ferguson and Wenger are both 66/1 outsiders and David Moyes is 40/1. No managers to get the sack all season is 40/1. Hills odds suggest that the season will see four or five manager casualities, is offered at 13/8.

With the emergence of a big 7 in the Premiership, the pressure is on at both ends of the table, with points more important than ever in the hunt for glory. It could well be, that the pressure to win games becomes too much for some managers and there could be a few victims in the queue at the dole office by the end of the season, said Hills spokesman Rupert Adams.

William Hill: How Many Premiership Managers Will Leave Their Post Before End Of 2010/11 Season?: 14/1 None or One, 3/1 Two or Three, 13/8 Four or Five, 9/4 Six or seven, 11/2 Eight or more

Will Capello Dare Drop Rooney Next Time Out? You Bet!

July 7, 2010 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Aaron Lennon, Alan Shearer, Arsene Wenger, David Beckham, Emile Heskey, Fabio Capello, Fb, Frank Rijkaard, Friendly Hills, Graham Sharpe, Guus Hiddink, Harry Redknapp, James Milner, Jose Mourinho, Marcello Lippi, Martin O Neill, Michael Carrick, Michael Dawson, Roy Hodgson, Sam Allardyce, Steven Gerrard

Capello 10/3 to drop Rooney for next game:

FABIO ODDS ON TO STICK AROUND UNTIL 2012
WILLIAM HILL now make 2012 their 8/11 favourite to be the year in which Fabio Capello ceases to be England manager. ‘Fabio has somehow defied the odds and his critics to retain his job, but he still faces the small matter of Euro 2012 qualification which, on paper, should be straightforward’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘We expect him to blood some new players in the August friendly against Hungary and have opened a book on who might start the game’
Despite Capello hitning at bringing in new faces for the Hungary friendly Hills still make Rooney, Terry, Gerrard and Lampard odds-on shots to start the match. (See prices below)

HILLS have lengthened Harry Redknapp’s odds of becoming the next England manager from 13/8 to 9/4 favourite, but slashed Roy Hodgson from 6/1 to 11/4 second favourite. ‘Who knows what Harry’s fortunes will be once the job becomes vacant, but if Hodgson impresses at Anfield he could well be in just the right place at just the right time to take over if Capello departs in 2012’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

FABIO 11/10 TO BE GONE BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR

WILLIAM HILL are offering odds of 11/10 that Fabio Capello becomes a former England manager during 2010 – ‘He seems to have a fortnight to convince the FA that he is the right man for the job – but even if he does so and then loses his first Euro 2012 qualifier he could be back in trouble’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘Noone currently wants to bet on anything other than Fabio being out before the end of the year.’
HILLS NOW MAKE HARRY REDKNAPP 7/4 FAVOURITE TO BE THE NEXT PERMANENT ENGLAND MANAGER.

**HILLS OFFER 4/1 THAT THE PREMIER LEAGUE WILL INTRODUCE A WINTER BREAK BEFORE THE NEXT WORLD CUP: ‘Fabio supports the introduction of a winter break, but we can’t see it happening before the next World Cup and offer 4/1 that it will be- and 1/7 that it will not’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

DAVID BECKHAM ghas been backed from 33/1 to 16/1 to become the next England manager. ‘If the FA decide to opt for a figurehead Englishman who has never managed at any level before for the England team, it appears there would be plenty of support for David Bechman amongst punters who have already availed themselves of our intial offer of 33/1’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

1/3 Next England boss English:
BOOKIES £50m RELIEF AS ENGLAND CRASH OUT

BOOKMAKERS have been saved from a potential £50million+ payout by England’s humiliating exit from the World Cup. And William Hill, who made Fabio 7/4 to be gone by midnight after the match, are already betting on Capello’s successor, and make Harry Redknapp 7/4 favourite. ‘We go 1/3 that the next England manager will be English’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
‘William Hill alone would have been at least £7m worse off as a result of England winning the World Cup. It was the result we feared, but it now appears that patriotic punters fell for Fabio Capello’s unfounded optimism that England would somehow produce form they had never showed at any other time and manage to win the World Cup.
‘As a result the bookmaking industry was staring down the barrel of its biggest payout ever of over £50m’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.
‘Even the disallowed goal now looks like a hollow excuse after England’s abject collapse in the second half’

AFTER Arsenal’s dramatic 3-2 defeat at Wigan, William Hill have cut their odds for Arsene Wenger to leave the club before the start of next season from 4/1 to 7/2. ‘That defeat has confirmed that Arsenal will endure yet another trophy-less season and may well put Arsene Wenger’s tactics and team selection under close scrutiny. Odd things tend to happen at ‘Big Four’ clubs which have been unsuccessful for a number of campaigns’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘However, the good news for Wenger-fans is that we still rate him a hot favourite at 1/6 to remain with the club.
THE TITLE RACE is now between 4/7 favourites and 11/8 shots Manchester United, with William Hill offering 9/2 that the title is decided on goal difference, and 33/1 that the two finish level on points AND goal difference.
