Drogba On His Way ? You Can Bet On It

DROG ON HIS WAY? YOU CAN BET ON THAT………….

WITH REPORTS suggesting that Drogba is unsettled at Chelsea, William Hill are quoting him at 13/8 to have left the club by the first day of next season, while his under-pressure manager Carlo Ancelotti is a 5/6 chance to leave by then. ‘Everyone agrees Chelsea have an ageing side and the break up has to begin sooner or later, and if they win nothing this season it may well be sooner. The arrival of Torres could be advance warning of a changing of the old guard’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills offer 1/10 that Chelsea will fail to lift a trophy this season.

WILLIAM HILL breathed a million pound-plus sigh of relief when Chelsea failed to beat Villa. ‘Thanks a million, Carlo – after Saturday’s punter-friendly results we had hordes of accumulators running on to a Chelsea victory, so their failure to win is worth a seven figure saving to us and probably an eight figure boost for the industry’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
