Ancelotti 4/1 To Go This Year As Chelsea 9/4 Not To Win Champions League Before 2018

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

CHELSEA 9/4 NOT TO WIN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FOR EIGHT YEARS AT LEAST!

WILLIAM HILL are quoting odds about which year Chelsea may eventually win the Champions League – and offer 9/4 that it will not be before 2018 at the earliest.
Hills offer 5/2 that they will win it for the first time in either 2011 or 2012; 7/2 in 2013 or ’14; 9/2 2015 or ’16; 6/1 2017 or ’18.
‘The more desperate Roman Abramovich becomes to win the Champions League the more elusive it seems to look and it is difficult to envisage their current line-up being capable of fulfilling the dream’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
And Hills are also betting on which will happen first – England to win the World Cup or Chelsea winning the Champions League – making England to win the World Cup 9/4 to happen first, with Chelsea 1/3 to win the Champions League first.
HILLS NOW MAKE CHELSEA 6/4 TO WIN NOTHING THIS SEASON,7/2 TO WIN THE PREM-FA CUP DOUBLE, AND OFFER 14/1 THAT JOSE MOURINHO WILL BE THEIR NEXT MANAGER.Mourinho is 7/4 with Hills to manage in the Premier League at a ny stage of next season, 2/5 not to.
Hills have opened a book on when Ancelotti will become an ex-manager – ‘Abramovich is hardly the most patient of owners when his side are not winning trophies’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, and they offer:
When Will Ancelotti Go ?
2010 -4/1
2011-9/4
2012-6/4
2013 or Later- 7/2

**HILLS MAKE UNITED 4/7 TO GO FURTHER THAN ARSENAL, WHO ARE 5/4 TO DO VICE VERSA.

BREAKING THE LAWS?

WILLIAM HILL have slashed their odds about Burnley’s new manager Brian Laws being the next Premiership manager to lose his job this season from 16/1 to 2/1 following rumours that he is already under pressure at the relegation-threatened club. ‘Laws has hardly transformed Burnley’s season – at least, not for the better – and it would be no great surprise if he were to give way to another boss as the final matches of the season come into view and Burnley try one last roll of the dice’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills also offer 9/2 Avram Grant; 11/1 Zola; 16/1 Steve Bruce; 25/1 Benitez; Dowie; Martinez; McCarthy. They offer 4/6 that no more mnagaers will go this season.

VILLA 7/2 FOR FOURTH

DOWIE 6/5 TO KEEP HULL UP
**Hills make Iain Dowie 6/5 to keep Hull up – but 8/13 to get them relegated. ‘Even though Dowie has only been appointed until the end of the season, we are paying out to everyone who backed him to become the club’s new boss’ confirmed Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.Hills offer 1/3 that Dowie will be Hull boss on the first day of next season, 9/4 that he will not.
Hills are betting on how many more points Hull will collect during the remainder of the season and offer:
8 Or Under 5/6
