Clark Firm Favourite For Leicester Job In Ongoing Saga

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

Lee Clark has been backed all the way in to 4/11 to become the next manager of Leicester City. The Huddersfield manager has been the subject of a number of three figure bets that have seen his odds in the last 48 hours tumble from 4/7. The only other contender that has been backed is Mark Hughes and his odds have been halved from 4/1 to 2/1. Nigel Pearson is 7/1 third favourite.

“Given the frequency with which Leicester change their manager, you would be forgiven for thinking that the Foxes board would have streamlined their hiring process but alas, punters are still waiting and Lee Clarke is now the firm favourite,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “It would seem that this one has a long way to go yet however.”

Next Permanent Leicester Manager: 4/11 Lee Clark; 2/1 Mark Hughes; 7/1 Nigel Pearson; 8/1 Kevin Keegan; 10/1 Roy Keane; 10/1 Gordon Strachan; 12/1 Billy Davies; 12/1 Rafael Benitez; 14/1 Martin O’Neill; 14/1 Dougie Freedman; 16/1 Neil Lennon; 20/1 BAR

You Bet Ancelotti On Way Back To Prem

WILL CARLO RETURN TO PREMIER LEAGUE?

WITH CARLO ANCELOTTI suggesting he is interested in returning to Premier/Football League managerment, William Hill make Spurs the most likely club for him to join at 7/2, and offer 20/1 that his next appointment will be a return to Chelsea. However, Hills believe he may well fail to find a suitable English club before the end of 2012, and offer 4/7 that he has yet to return to the domestic game by then.
‘Ancelotti has been one of the few foreign managers to demonstrate a genuine affinity for the country he was working in and as such is sure to be a popular contender for any high profile managerial role which becomes available in the near future’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL…..Carlo Ancelotti’s Next English Club Managerial appointment:

Not to manage in England before End of 20124/7
Tottenham 7/2
Arsenal 11/1
Man City 12/1
Liverpool 14/1

Redknapp Odds Slashed For England Job…but Will He Be Before Or After Euros?

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

With astonishing claims suggesting that the FA are drawing up plans to oust Fabio Capello before the Euro Championships and replace him with Harry Redknapp, Hills have slashed the odds on the Spurs boss being the man to replace the Italian when he does eventually step down. He is 8/11 to be the next England boss, with Martin O’Neill his closest contender at 8/1 for the job.

“The reports on Sunday morning were pretty sensational and it would appear that when Capello does go, whether before or after the Euros, Harry Redknapp has been earmarked as the successor,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Wayne Rooney bagged his second hat-trick of the season on Saturday and William Hill offer 5/4 that those are his only two. He is 9/4 to get one more this season and 3/1 to get two more. He is 6/1 to net five or more trebles this season.

Next England Manager: 8/11 Harry Redknapp; 8/1 Martin O’Neill; 11/1 Roy Hodgson; 12/1 Gareth Southgate; 16/1 Stuart Pearce; 16/1 Steve Bruce; 16/1 Jose Mourinho; 20/1 BAR

Who be will be England Manager at Euro 2012: 1/3 Capello; 9/4 Redknapp

How many hat-tricks will Wayne Rooney score this season (currently on 2): 5/4 two; 9/4 three; 3/1 four; 6/1 five or more

WATFORD GOING WESTLEY?

WILLIAM HILL have installed Brian Laws as 6/4 favourite to be Watford’s next permanent manager, with Stevenage boss Graham Westley 11/4 second favourite. ‘Elton John could yet prove a contender at 500/1 but whoever gets the job is likely to be fighting relegation after the club lost both their manager and star striker in quick succession said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

GRAY DAY FOR LEEDS’ FANS?

WILLIAM HILL have slashed their odds for Simon Grayson, the Leeds boss, to be the next Villa manager after a sustained afternoon gamble from North Yorkshire based betting shop and online clients saw the odds collapse from 50/1 outsider to 5/2 favourite.
‘The source of the bets would not give the lie to suggestions that someone connected to Leeds may have had the nod that Grayson was a serious contender for Villa’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
WILLIAM HILL…NEXT PERMANENT VILLA BOSS…5/2 Grayson; 3/1 Alex McLeish; 5/1 Moyes; Hughes; 9 Coyle; Poyet. Others on request.

NEXT CHELSEA MANAGER/COACH….1/3 Hiddink; 5/2 Hughes; 11/2 Redknapp; 9 Villas-Boas; 10 Guardiola. Others on request.

NEXT CARDIFF BOSS….11/8 Mackay; 2 Hughton; Robins; 5 Shearer; 6 Holloway; 7 McInnes. Others on request.

Hugh Bet Chris In Running For Hammers

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

HUGH BET HAMMERS WILL CHOOSE CHRIS!

WILLIAM HILL make Chris Hughton 6/4 favourite to be appointed the next permanent West Ham manager but say no one contender is currently dominating the betting. ‘Since the opening flurry of support for Steve McLaren, which ended when he became an odds-on shot only to apparently rule himself out of the running, the market has not seen anyone really dominate – but it will happen, and sooner rather than later if the club do as they are suggesting, and appoint someone probably British, before the end of the month’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘We’ve seen solid support for Hughton while Messrs Alladryce, Warnock and McKay are attracting punters. One suspects that play-off results may also well have an influence in the ultimate outcome’.

WILLIAM HILL – NEXT PERMANENT WEST HAM MANAGER- 6/4 Hughton; 6/1 Allardyce; Warnock; 7/1 O’Neill; 8/1 Curbishley; Di Canio; Di Matteo; Keen; McKay; 10/1 Bilic; Jones; McLaren; Poyet 14 Davies; Jol; 16 Lambert; Rodgers. Others on request.

JOSE 14/1 TO GET SECOND CHANCE TO BOSS ENGLAND

AFTER claiming that he turned down the opportunity to manage England, Jose Mourinho has been cut from 20/1 to 14/1 by William Hill to get the job in succession to Fabio Capello. ‘Jose is a mind-game master but if his claim is true then he has t be a serious contender to take over from Fabio – except for the fact that the FA have hinted strongly that they would prefer to give the job to an Englishman’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HILLS OFFER 9/1 THAT ENGLAND WILL HAVE FOUR OR MORE SEPARATE SCORERS AGAINST GHANA – 3/1 THAT NOONE SCORES.

**Jack Wilshere to play any part in the U21 championship in Denmark: 4/9 Yes, 13/8 No

Bookies Not Kean On Rover Steve

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

BOOKIES NOT KEAN ON NEW BLACKBURN BOSS STEVE!

WITH Steve Kean being appointed as Blackburn manager, William Hill are already offering odds of 5/6 that he will be OUT of the job by the first day of next season.’
Since Sam Allardyce left Blackburn they have been one of the best backed teams to be relegated and are now down to 7/1 for the drop’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
And Hills make Kean 28/1 to be the NEXT Premier League manager to leave his job.
Hills have paid out to customers who backed Kean to get the job – but say that anyone who backed any other contender to become the next Blackburn manager will have their bet carried over until Kean is succeeded by the next permanent boss at the club. ‘As it is Christmas, we are paying out on Kean, but letting all other bets on the market stand until the manager after Kean is permanently appointed’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’We think punters may not have long to wait to find out who that will be.’

STEVE KEAN to be Blackburn manager on first day of next season – 5/6 NO; 5/6 YES
STEVE KEAN TO be next Prem manager of this season to leave his job – 28/1
BLACKBURN to be relegated – 7/1 yes; 1/16 no.

MARTIN’S JOL-Y GOOD CHANCE OF GETTING NEWCASTLE JOB….

MARTIN JOL is the new 4/5 favourite to become Newcastle manager with William Hill following his departure from Ajax. Hills make Alan Pardew 5/4 second favourite and also offer 8/1 Martin O’Nell; 10/1 Alan Curbishley; 16/1 Peter Beardsley; Joe Kinnear.
‘This is a typical pattern in the early stages of managerial markets. Punters rush from one potential contender to another every time a story breaks apparently linking certain available bosses with the job. I’ll be surprised if there aren’t several more gambles before the ultimate outcome is known’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

England 10/1 To Host 2030 World Cup

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

England now 10/1 to host 2030 World Cup……..£3 billion mega-gamble at 2018 World Cup?
THEY WILL NOT HOST IT, BUT YOU CAN BET ENGLAND WILL GO INTO 2018 WORLD CUP FINALS WITH STUART PEARCE AS BOSS, JACK WILSHERE AS SKIPPER, AND DAVID CAMERON AS PRIME MINISTER!!

DESPITE ENGLAND NOT HOSTING the 2018 World Cup, bookmakers William Hill are predicting that the tournament could produce the biggest betting turnover ever for a major sporting event of up to £3billion- and England are 14/1 with Hills to win it.
‘Each World Cup ALWAYS produces the biggest betting event so far, but with the tournament taking place in the home of both football and betting we are already anticipating an amazing betting bonanza with up to £3billion being gambled on the 2018 tournament worldwide – at least double what the 2010 event managed’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’However, had England won we’d have expected a betting turnover of up to £5billion.’

ENGLAND are now 10/1 with William Hill to host the 2030 World Cup. ‘We’re now finding it as difficult to make a serious bid to host the World Cup as we do to win Eurovision’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HILLS have already opened a book on a number of elements of the 2018 tournament: ‘The shrewd punters backed Russia – one South London customer staked £2000 on them at 4/5 -but a late patriotic gamble which promoted England back to the favouritism they lost after the Sunday Times revelations made the market a six figure winner for us – which is some (very) small consolation for the World Cup not coming home’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

ALREADY, Hills have put up markets for who will manage and skipper the England side which takes the field for the country’s first game of the 2018 World Cup finals – and which other players will be part of it – Wayne Rooney is 2/1 to make it, (and 9/1 favourite to score England’s first goal of the Finals) (1/2 not to) but the shortest priced contender is Jack Wilshere at 7/4 (4/7 not to). ‘Over seven years is a long time to wait for your winnings, but if you correctly select a player who starts you’ll be receiving back over 175% profit on your original investment – not something many banks and building societies are likely to be able to match!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘And we are offering our punters a 100% market because of the timeframe, leaving no profit margin for ourselves’ he added.
