William Hill Suspend Betting On Next Premier League Manager To Go

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

William Hill have suspended betting on the next manager to go market amidst rumours about Carlo Ancelotti’s future at Chelsea. Ancelotti was priced at 10/1 to go following a short run of poor results recently.

“We have seen a few quid, although nothing significant, in the last 24 hours, but that is no great surprise following two defeats. We have since heard rumours he has resigned and have decided to err on the side of caution and suspend betting until more information was revealed,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Goals Galore But Ancelotti 7/1 To Go After Zilina Game

Chelsea and Arsenal are representing Britain in Tuesday’s Champion’s League ties and William Hill are offering 4/9 that the Blues outscore the Gunners . Arsenal are 16/5 to score more than Chelsea while it is 4/1 to be a tie. Chelsea are playing Zilina, while Arsenal are playing Braga and the pair hit a total of 10 goals in the corresponding fixtures. Arsenal are 33/1 to go one better than the six they hit past the Portuguese and score seven. Chelsea are 11/4 to knock five past Zilina following their 4-1 victory in September.

Arsenal threw away victory against Tottenham on Saturday and Hills are offering 33/1 that they lead at half-time against Braga, but go on to lose the game.

With speculation about Carlo Ancelotti’s future at Chelsea reaching fever pitch on Sunday evening, Hills are quoting 7/1 that the Zilina game is his last in charge.

“When Arsenal and Chelsea play at their best, they can score for fun. The odds suggest that both sides can put a disappointing weekend behind them and get a couple of Champion’s League goals each,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Despite their poor showing recently in the Premier League, Chelsea are the 6/4 favourites to progress the furthest of all the British teams in the Champion’s league, followed by 15/8 Manchester United.

Spanish Giants Barcelona and Real Madrid are 11/4 and 7/2 respectively to win the competition.

Outright: 11/4 Barcelona; 7/1 Real Madrid; 4/1 Chelsea; 8/1 Man Utd; 10/1 Arsenal; 14/1 Inter Milan; 14/1 Bayern Munich; 25/1 Tottenham; 25/1 AC Milan; 33/1 BAR

British Team To Go The Furthest: 6/4 Chelsea; 15/8 Man Utd; 10/3 Arsenal; 6/1 Tottenham; 33/1 Rangers

Arsenal/Chelsea To Score Most: 4/9 Chelsea; 16/5 Arsenal; 4/1 Tie

Arsenal HT/Braga FT: 33/1

33/1 Arsenal score 7 or more
11/4 Chelsea score 5 or more

7/1 Ancelotti last game in charge is against Zilina

You Bet Stoke Boss Safest In Division !

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

YOU BET TONY PULIS SAFEST BOSS BET TO SURVIVE UNTIL NEXT SEASON…..

WITH A NUMBER OF PREMIER LEAGUE managers under short or long term pressure for various reasons, William Hill have opened a book on the individual chances of each of the 20 bosses leaving their current club before the first day of next season or not and, slightly surprisingly, have made Stoke’s Tony Pulis the best bet still to be in place when 2011/12 season kicks off. ‘You can make a case for almost every one of the 20 managers not to be in place on the first day of next season – Fergie may have retired, Arsene Wenger may have quit after winning nothing again, Ancelotti hay have won everything and fancy a new challenge, other bosses may have been sacked after disappointing seasons – but we think Tony Pulis is bomb-proof at Stoke and make him 1/20 still to be there’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘But we reckon Roy Hodgson is the most vulnerable boss at the moment – and he’s 4/7 to be gone by the first day of the next campaign, with Chris Hughton not far behind him at 8/11.’

Under pressure Newcastle boss Chris Hughton has been cut from 7/2 to 6/4 joint favourite with Roy Hodgson to be the next Prem manager to leave his club. ‘Rumours are rife that Hughton is not guaranteed a new contract with Newcastle, and the weekend derby against Sunderland could be crucial for his future prospects’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills make Rooney 8/15 to score more than his younger team-mate, with a tie between them offered at 8/1. ‘Wayne has inadvertently heaped even more pressure on his own shoulders during a period in which he is showing only glimpses of his best form, and the new kid on the block is threatening to out-shoot the ageing gunslinger!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
