Sparky Faces Fight To Save Fulham Stars Becks To Return To East London?

August 9, 2010 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Arsenal, Bobby Zamora, Brede Hangeland, Clint Dempsey, Danny Murphy, David Beckham, Decent Season, East London, Fb, Few Days, Fulham, Joe Crilly, London News, Mark Hughes, Mark Schwarzer, Odds, Paul Konchesky, Sparky, Spokesman, West Ham, William Hill

Following the news that Mark Hughes is set to be named as the next permanent Fulham manager, William Hill have opened a book on which of Fulhams stars will stay and which will go. Mark Schwarzer is 1/4 to have left Fulham amid reported interest from Arsenal. He is 11/4 to still be at Fulham come the end of the transfer window. Captain Danny Murphy is 1/9 to be staying at Fulham. Last seasons Player Of The Year, Bobby Zamora is 1/8 to stay. Elsewhere Paul Konchesky is 6/5 to go, 8/13 to stay and Brede Hangeland is 11/4 to go, 1/4 to stay. If he manages to keep his best players, it appears that Fulham may well have a season very much like the last one. Fulham are 1/16 to stay up, 7/1 to get relegated, 2/1 to finish in the top half and 4/11 to finish in the bottom half.

Mark Hughes will be hoping that he can hold on to the majority of Fulhams best players as and if he does, we believe that Fulham could have a decent season, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Odds:

To Leave Fulham Before The End Of The Transfer Window:

Mark Schwarzer: 1/4 Yes; 11/4 No

Brede Hangeland: 11/4 Yes; 1/4 No

Paul Konchesky: 6/5 Yes; 8/13 No

Danny Murphy: 5/1 Yes; 1/9 No

Clint Dempsey: 4/1 Yes; 1/7 No

Bobby Zamora: 9/2 Yes; 1/8 No

David Beckham has promised West Ham that he will give them an answer as to whether he will join them, within the next few days. William Hill make him 4/1 to return to East London, the place of his birth.

The odds suggest that while it is not certain he will be leaving LA, he is obviously giving it some serious consideration, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Will Capello Dare Drop Rooney Next Time Out? You Bet!

July 7, 2010 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Aaron Lennon, Alan Shearer, Arsene Wenger, David Beckham, Emile Heskey, Fabio Capello, Fb, Frank Rijkaard, Friendly Hills, Graham Sharpe, Guus Hiddink, Harry Redknapp, James Milner, Jose Mourinho, Marcello Lippi, Martin O Neill, Michael Carrick, Michael Dawson, Roy Hodgson, Sam Allardyce, Steven Gerrard

Capello 10/3 to drop Rooney for next game:

FABIO ODDS ON TO STICK AROUND UNTIL 2012
WILLIAM HILL now make 2012 their 8/11 favourite to be the year in which Fabio Capello ceases to be England manager. ‘Fabio has somehow defied the odds and his critics to retain his job, but he still faces the small matter of Euro 2012 qualification which, on paper, should be straightforward’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘We expect him to blood some new players in the August friendly against Hungary and have opened a book on who might start the game’
Despite Capello hitning at bringing in new faces for the Hungary friendly Hills still make Rooney, Terry, Gerrard and Lampard odds-on shots to start the match. (See prices below)

HILLS have lengthened Harry Redknapp’s odds of becoming the next England manager from 13/8 to 9/4 favourite, but slashed Roy Hodgson from 6/1 to 11/4 second favourite. ‘Who knows what Harry’s fortunes will be once the job becomes vacant, but if Hodgson impresses at Anfield he could well be in just the right place at just the right time to take over if Capello departs in 2012’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL have cut their odds about the introduction of goalline video technology by FIFA in time for the 2014 World Cup from 3/1TO 5/2 after Sepp Blatter of FIFA said that the matter would be re-considered. ‘Mr Blatter’s remarks may have been given undue weight as he has not given the slightest encouragement to those who want to see video technology introduced and last time it was considered by FIFA it was firmly rejected.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WORLD WIDE WEBB?

WILLIAM HILL make English ref Howard Webb 2/1 favourite to win the right to handle the World Cup Final. ‘We have always reckoned he’d have a good chance of the Final – we opened up at 6/1 – and with England out his chances have only increased’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

FABIO 11/10 TO BE GONE BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR

WILLIAM HILL are offering odds of 11/10 that Fabio Capello becomes a former England manager during 2010 – ‘He seems to have a fortnight to convince the FA that he is the right man for the job – but even if he does so and then loses his first Euro 2012 qualifier he could be back in trouble’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘Noone currently wants to bet on anything other than Fabio being out before the end of the year.’
HILLS NOW MAKE HARRY REDKNAPP 7/4 FAVOURITE TO BE THE NEXT PERMANENT ENGLAND MANAGER.

**HILLS OFFER 4/1 THAT THE PREMIER LEAGUE WILL INTRODUCE A WINTER BREAK BEFORE THE NEXT WORLD CUP: ‘Fabio supports the introduction of a winter break, but we can’t see it happening before the next World Cup and offer 4/1 that it will be- and 1/7 that it will not’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL – NEXT PERMANENT ENGLAND MANAGER:

DAVID BECKHAM ghas been backed from 33/1 to 16/1 to become the next England manager. ‘If the FA decide to opt for a figurehead Englishman who has never managed at any level before for the England team, it appears there would be plenty of support for David Bechman amongst punters who have already availed themselves of our intial offer of 33/1’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

1/3 Next England boss English:
BOOKIES £50m RELIEF AS ENGLAND CRASH OUT

BOOKMAKERS have been saved from a potential £50million+ payout by England’s humiliating exit from the World Cup. And William Hill, who made Fabio 7/4 to be gone by midnight after the match, are already betting on Capello’s successor, and make Harry Redknapp 7/4 favourite. ‘We go 1/3 that the next England manager will be English’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
‘William Hill alone would have been at least £7m worse off as a result of England winning the World Cup. It was the result we feared, but it now appears that patriotic punters fell for Fabio Capello’s unfounded optimism that England would somehow produce form they had never showed at any other time and manage to win the World Cup.
‘As a result the bookmaking industry was staring down the barrel of its biggest payout ever of over £50m’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.
‘Even the disallowed goal now looks like a hollow excuse after England’s abject collapse in the second half’
