5/1 FOR PUNTERS’ PICKS TO JUSTIFY CHAMPIONSHIP FAVOURITISM

WITH FOOTBALL PUNTERS backing Leicester and West Ham virtually to the exclusion of all other Championship contenders, William Hill make the pair clear favourites to win the title, with Leicester cut from 5/1 to 7/2 favourites after winning their opening game and pleasing the supporter who staked £3000 on them to take the honours. Hills then make West Ham 4/1 second favourites – and they are 5/6 to get off to a winning start against 7/2 Cardiff, with the draw 12/5.’Punters have lumped on these two big-time and we could do with neither of them winning the title – but we go 5/1 that they finish 1st and 2nd in either order, and fear the worst!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make Ipswich 12/1 third favourites for the title and also offer: 16 Blackpool; Brighton; Forest; Southampton; 18 Middlesbro; Reading; 22 Cardiff; 25 Birmingham; 28 Brighton; Leeds.
BARNSLEY and Doncaster are 13/8 joint favourites to be relegated with Hills who also offer 7/4 Coventry; 9/4 Palace, Watford; 5/2 Peterbro; 7/2 Portsmouth; 4 Derby; 9/2 Millwall; 5 Birmingham; 11/2 Bristol C; 9 Brighton; Leeds.

************WILLIAM HILL CHAMPIONSHIP MANAGER SPECIALS******************************************

WHO WLL BE CHAMPIONSHIP NEW-BOY CHAMP?

With several Championship clubs welcoming new managers, William Hill have opened a book on which of them will come out on top at the end of the season and how many of them may fail to see the season out as manager offering 11/8 that at least one of them will have left the job by then. The difficulty of impressing as an in-coming boss is emphasized by quoting odds-against for all of the new managers to see the season out at their new clubs said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.:

Hills…Highest finishing New Championship Manager:

West Ham (Sam Allardyce) 11/8
Birmingham (Chris Hughton) 9/4
N Forest (Steve McLaren) 5/2
Cardiff (Malky Mackay) 7/1
Watford (Sean Dyche) 25/1
Barnsley (Keith Hill) 40/1

**Only these 6 count.

Hills…..How many of Allardyce, Hughton, McLaren, Mackay, Dyche, Hill will still be manager of their clubs on the final day of 2011/12 season:

0 or 1 33/1
2 or 3 9/1
4 7/2
5 5/4
All 6 11/8

**One of Allardyce, Hughton, McLaren, Mackay, Dyche, Hill to win the Championship title: 11/8

6/1 Mc Leish Gone By End Of Year Etc

6/1 McLEISH OUT BEFORE END OF YEAR?

AFTER HIS controversial appointment as Villa boss, William Hill offer 6/1 that he will leave the position before the end of 2011 but believe he will lead the club to 8th-10th position next season which they quote at 6/4, and make them 14/1 to finish in the top four and 20/1 to go down.
Hills make Villa 13/8 to win their opening game against 11/8 Fulham with the draw a 21/10 chance. It would seem to be vital for McLeish to get off to a winning start if he is to get Villa fans on his side said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL SAY THAT over a quarter of a million pounds has been gambled with them on the five recent managerial markets for Birmingham, Cardiff, Chelsea, Fulham and Villa. We won a five figure sum on McLeishs appointment and a smaller sum on Malky Mackay should he be confirmed as Cardiff boss, but lost on Martin Jol. These markets have provided us with a terrific turnover in the absence of any Premier League matches, and confirm the tremendous interest in all elements of the top division said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.

When Will McLEISH Leave Villa?
2011 6/1
2012 6/4
2013 5/2
2014 4/1
2015 + 10/1

ENGLAND ODDS-ON TO CZECH OUT OF EURO TOURNAMENT EARLY

ENGLAND are now 4/6 with William Hill to crash out of the U21 tournament at the Group stage following their disappointing draw against Ukraine.

Having drawn for the second time, England are now offered at 9/4 to draw, and 11/10 to win, their final group game against Czech Republic. Daniel Sturridge is the 11/2 favourite to open the scoring in the match, while Danny Welbeck, who squandered a glorious chance against the Ukraine, is 13/2.

England are now out to 11/2 to win the tournament, having been as short as 9/2. Spain, having effectively qualified from their group are now 8/11 clear favourites to go on and win the tournament.

BOSS BETS

WITH FOUR high profile clubs still endeavouring to acquire new managers, William Hill think Aston Villa are probably closest to doing a deal – with Alex McLeish 1/6 favourite to get the job, with Mark Hughes 9/2 second favourite, ahead of 10/1 chance David Moyes and 20/1 shots, Messrs Coyle, Poyet and Rijkaard.
McLeish’s former club, Birmingham are 5/4 to appoint Chris Hughton with Hills who also offer 3/1 Di Matteo; 5/1 Davies; 7/1 Zola; 8/1 Cotterill; 9/1 Curbishley; 9/1 Shearer; 12/1 Jones.
Hills make Guus Hiddink 1/4 favourite to become the next Chelsea manager/coach and also offer 9/2 Mark Hughes; 7/1 Harry Redknapp; 8/1 Andre Villas-Boas; 20/1 Pep Guardiola.
Malky Mackay has become 3/10 favourite to get the Cardiff job with Hills who also offer 9/2 Hughton; 7/1 Robins; 8/1 Shearer (still attracting support despite his statement); 9/1 Di Matteo; 10 Hughes; 14 Davies; 16 McInnes.
‘These markets have seen hundreds of thousands of pounds being gambled with favourite after favourite dropping out of the running – long may the confusion continue as far as we are concerned’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Ardley a surprise, really!
GIRL-POWER BOOSTS ARDLEY CLAIMS TO CARDIFF JOB….

WILLIAM HILL have taken a string of bets from female punters in different parts of north London – all backing the club’s Youth Academy coach Neal Ardley to be appointed their next manager. Hills slashed Ardley’s odds from 40/1 to 8/1 this evening as cash came in for him, ‘This was an interesting gamble from two different angles – firstly, virtually all of the initial bets for him were placed by female customers, and, secondly, the bets were placed either in North London betting shops, or by online clients with North London addresses – an area which would seem at first glance to have little connection to Cardiff – but experience has taught us that people will often try to throw us off the scent of a gamble by placing the bets in unexpected places at unexpected times and in unexpected amounts!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’The bets were for an average of around £40, ranging from £10 to three figures’

WILLIAM HILL…NEXT CARDIFF MANAGER…1/3 Malky Mackay; 9/2 Chris Hughton; 7/1 Mark Robins; 8/1 Neal Ardley; 9/1 Roberto di Matteo.Others on request.

SHEAR RELIEF FOR BOOKIES AS ALAN TURNS DOWN CARDIFF

AFTER A hefty gamble encompassing a stream of bets from Ireland to Australia, bookmakers William Hill were relieved as Alan Shearer decided against taking the Cardiff job, having been backed down from 10/1 to 1/8 to be appointed.
‘It appears this was a very well informed gamble – with an ill informed outcome!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘Shearer was backed off the boards as big money came in for him, starting in Cork, moving to south west London and finally becoming international as we saw a four figure Australian gamble – it looked like we’d been set up for a fall, but we are relieved to have dodged the financial bullet’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Shearer is now 10/1 with Hills to get the Birimingham job.

WILLIAM HILL now make Malky Mackay 8/11 favourite to become the next Cardiff manager with Mark Robins 5/1; Chris Hughton 7/1 and Alan Shearer 8/1 -‘a precautionary price should one or other side change its mind!’ – 10/1 Billy Davies; 12/1 Ian Holloway.

WILL SHEARER BE POPPING CORKS TO CELEBRATE CARDIFF JOB?

A GAMBLE which began in Cork has catapulted Alan Shearer into the position of second favourite to become the next Cardiff manager with bookmakers William Hill who have slashed his odds from 10/1 to 6/4.
We began to see bets for Shearer on Monday night and soon noticed that almost all of them and they were for up to 200 euros a time- were coming from the Cork area. We reduced the odds but the bets continued to come in and eventually we began to see money from other areas. The gamble has continued on Tuesday morning and we wouldnt be surprised to see Shearer become favourite over Malky Mackay very shortly said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.
