You Bet Olympic Saga Could Be Sorted Soon…

West Ham are allegedly growing frustrated with the lack of movement on the Olympic Stadium front. William Hill think that any problems should be sorted out by 2015, offering 2/7 that any team (in any professional division) is playing or has played a full season of home league matches at the Olympic Stadium by 2015.

“The Olympic Stadium saga has been running for quite a while now, but we think that once the Olympics are out of the way, the Stadium issue will become number one priority and should be sorted relatively quickly,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly

A team to play a full season/be playing a full season of home league matches at the Olympic Stadium by 2015: 2/7 yes; 5/2 no

You Bet Hughes And Barton Will Be Staying Put Despite First Defeat!

Mark Hughes’ reign at QPR started with defeat and William Hill are offering 4/1 that he is no longer at QPR come the start of next season (1/7 to still be there). Should QPR be relegated, Hills offer 7/1 that they win the League and 3/1 that they would gain promotion by any means.

Joey Barton was the subject of much speculation in the Sunday papers as they suggested that Mark Hughes could let him go in January. Hills are erring on the side of caution and make him 1/8 to stay (9/2 to leave in January). Joey Barton did not play against Newcastle due to being suspended and Hills go 1/4 that he starts the first game for QPR that he is available for.

“Mark Hughes has already claimed that Joey Barton will remain his captain and while it is not uncommon for clubs to sell their leaders, we think that Joey will be staying put for the time being,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Mark Hughes to be at QPR on the first day of next season: 1/7 yes; 4/1 no

Joey Barton to still be at QPR at the end of the January transfer window: 1/8 yes; 9/2 no

Joey Barton to start first match he is available for: 1/4 yes; 11/4 no

You Bet Zamora Stays – But Will Arsene Go ?

YOU BET ZAMORA WILL STAY

WILLIAM HILL make Bobby Zamora an 8/11 chance to stay with Fulham past the January transfer window, but Even money to leave before it closes. ‘The rumours have suggested all is not sweetness and light between Zamora and Jol -maybe that goal will change things’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
But Hills believe the defeat may increase Arsene Wenger’s troubles and have cut their odds for him no longer to be manager on the first day of next season from 7/2 to 11/4 – although he is a 1/ 4 chance still to be Gunners’ gaffer then.

HILLS- TOP 4 FINISH- 4/11 Spurs; 8/13 Chelsea; 11/8 Arsenal; 15/8 Liverpool
