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

William Hill Suspend Betting On Next Premier League Manager To Go

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.
