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

William Hill have today seen a substantial & sustained gamble on Gianfranco Zola to be the next Premiership manager to get the boot. This morning Hills were quoting 5/1 but during the course of the day they have cut the price five times before suspending at 2:35, with one London based customer looking to place a five figure bet.

“They were backing Zola at any price and there must be a rumour that either he is walking or the likely new owners are not Zola fans,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

William Hill 5th Premiership Manager To Leave His Post (Suspension Prices): 6/5 Gianfranco Zola, 11/4 Rafa Benitez, 4/1 Phil Brown, 11/2 No manager to go, 6/1 Sam Allardyce, 10/1 Avram Grant, 16/1 Harry Redknapp, 20/1Mick McCarthy, 20/1 Roberto Martinez, 25/1 David Moyes, 25/1 Brian Laws, 33/1 Tony Pullis, 33/1 Owen Coyle, 40/1 Roberto Mancini, 40/1 Steve Bruce, 50/1 Carlo Ancelotti, 50/1 Alex McCleish, 50/1 Arsene Wenger, 66/1 Martin O’Neill, 66/1 Roy Hodgson, 80/1 Sir Alex Ferguson.

You Bet Terry All Gold For Fabio And Carlo

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

IS TERRY STILL ALL GOLD FOR CARLO AND FABIO?

WITH JOHN TERRY’S name being linked to potentially embarrassing tabloid stories, William Hill are betting on whether he will start England’s first game of the World Cup, and Chelsea’s first Premiership game of next season as captain.
Hills offer 1/10 that he will start as skipper in England’s opening World Cup game against USA – 11/2 that he will not; and 1/5 that he will start as skipper in Chelsea’s opening game of the 2010/11 Premiership season, but 10/3 that he will not. ‘There is unanimous support in public for John Terry from both Fabio Capello and Carlo Ancelotti and it seems unlikely that the current stories will cost him either the England or Chelsea captaincy – but should any more emerge his position may not remain quite so secure’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HESKEY FOR ENGLAND?

WITH Martin O’Neill declaring that Emile Heskey’s injury is not as as at first feared, William Hill make the Villa man a 4/7 chance to start in England’s opening World Cup game against USA – and 5/4 not to. ‘Punters looking to back Emile to play in England’s opening game will be pleased to hear that he is unlikely to be sidelined through injury for any significant length of time’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WHO’LL GO FIRST: ANCELOTTI OR FERGIE? BET ON IT

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on whether Chelsea boss Ancelotti, or Alex Ferguson will leave their job first – and make the Italian odds on to go before Fergie. ‘One of these days Fergie will suddenly decide the time is right and walk away, but there is little sign tghat it will be any time soon’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills are also betting on which of Drogba or Owen will be the first to go, and have opened a book on who Chelsea may sign in the transfer window, making Benfica’s Di Maria and Vasco da Gama’s Teixeira 5/1 both 5/1 shots to arrive at the Bridge. ‘Chelsea worked so hard to be permitted to buy in January that you have to assume they have some serious spending to do’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HILLS: 1st to leave position as 1st team manager/coach:
Carlo Ancelotti 4/7
Alex Ferguson 5/4

HILLS: 1st to leave:

IS RIO UNITED FUTURE UNDER THREAT? OWEN FOR ENGLAND?
WITH RIO FERDINAND under an injury cloud, William Hill are offering 7/1 that he will no longer be a Man U player at the start of next season. ‘Sir Alex has shown in the past that he can be ruthless when players lose form, and if Rio cannot shake off his injury problems, his Old Trafford future could come into question.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Michael Owen is 7/4 to make the England World Cup squad with Hills, 2/5 not to – and he is Evens with Hills to play the whole game against Chelsea if he starts, 8/11 not to.
Hills still make Rio a virtual certainty to make England’s World Cup squad, at 1/8 – but offer 7/2 that he does not start the first game at the finals.

Yes 1/8

BENITEZ 9/4 FOR CHOP AS LIVERPOOL 4/7 TO CRASH OUT OF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

WILLIAM HILL offer 9/4 that Rafa Benitez will leave his job as Liverpool manager before the end of the current season – with Liverpool 4/7 to fail to make the next stage of the Champions League – and 5/4 to get through. ‘With most managers in Rafa’s situation you’d think that elimination from the Champions League at this stage would automatically mean the sack, but until he loses the fans he seems to be safe and although there are murmurings of discontent there is not yet open hostility towards him, which is why he is 1/3 to see the season out’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS OFFER 11/2 THAT RAFA WILL LEAVE LIVERPOOL BEFORE PHIL BROWN LEAVES HULL, AND 1/10 VICE VERSA. ‘Brown seems to have only a game or two to save his job, but if Rafa loses to Lyon and then fails to beat Birmingham in the League who knows what will happen’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

You Bet Brown On Brink At Hull

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

As rumours abound that Brown is on way out:
BROWN ON THE BRINK – WHO’LL BE NEXT?

FOLLOWING RUMOURS OF THE imminent departure of Phil Brown from Hull City, William Hill have stopped taking bets for him to go, and installed Portsmouth’s Paul Hart as odds-on favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave his club. ‘ With rumours circulating that Phil Brown is on the verge of leaving Hull City, we have taken him out of our market for the next Premiership manager to leave his club in which he was 7/4 joint favourite with Paul Hart. We saw a string of bets for Brown to go, with punters asking to stake up to £500 a time. At that point we decided to close the book. The possible departure of Brown could trigger a wave of managerial moves, but although Paul Hart is an obvious favourite to be next to go, given his side’s position at the bottom of the table, the bizarre financial and ownership situation at the club could mean that there is noone really in a position to remove him at the moment’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Hills have also now stopped taking bets on whether Phil Brown will still be at Hull on the final day of the season.
Hills currently make Hull 2/5 favourites to be relegated (7/4 to stay up), and 11/8 favourites to finish bottom of the table.

Will Pompey Be Hart Broken Before Hull Browned Off ?

Pompey 7/1 to set all time Prem points low:
WILL POMPEY BE HART-BROKEN BEFORE HULL BROWNED OFF?

PHIL BROWN is 8/11 no longer to be Hull boss on the last day of the season with William Hill – but he is only second favourite to be the first Prem boss of the season to leave his club – with Hils making Pompey’s Paul Hart 10/11 to be the first to go. ‘Hart has an even worse record than Brown this season with seven straight defeats and doesn’t even have the defence that but for him his side wouldn’t even be in the Premiership’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make Pompey manager Paul Hart 1/ 2 to leave the club before the end of the season and offer 6/4 that Hart will still be there at the end of the campaign; Hills make Portsmouth 7/1 to end the season with 10 or fewer points, and offer 8/13 that they end the camapign with 19 or more points; 13/8 between 12 and 18 inclusive. ‘Everyone seems to think Portsmouth have fewer points than their performances deserve – but as yet points are not awarded for being deserving as far as I am aware’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
