Hodgson Now In Crisis?

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

ROY HODGSON’s odds to be the next Premier League manager to leave his job following Liverpool’s defeats to Manchester United and Northampton, have been halved from 20/1 to 10/1 by William Hill. ‘The side beaten by Northampton was made up of players which by and large were not brought to the club by Roy Hodgson, but the embarrassment of the result will impact on the way fans regard his progress since joining the club’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘It is harsh even to consider Roy being forced out in the near future but given the financial problems and Kenny Dalglish’s public statements that he wanted to be manager, a few more poor results could make him consider whether he made the right decision to come to Anfield’.

AND HILLS NOW MAKE HODGSON 1/2 FAVOURITE TO LEAVE LIVERPOOL BEFORE DAVID MOYES DEPRTS EVERTON, WHO IS 6/4 TO BE THE FIRST OF THE PAIR TO GO.

Hills now make Roberto Martinez 2/1 favourite to be the next Prem boss out and also offer 3/1Grant; 4 Mancini; 9/1 Moyes; 10 McLeish; Hodgson; 12 Hughton; 14 Di Matteo; 20 Holloway; McCarthy.
Hills offer 33/1 that NO more Prem managers will leave their clubs this season – ‘Noone wants to back that option’ said Sharpe.

MACDONALD BACK IN FAVOUR AT VILLA? YOU BET

DESPITE Villa’s 6-0 hammering by Newcastle, caretaker manager Kevin MacDonald has been backed from 6/1 to 2/1 joint favourite with Bob Bradley to be appointed the next permanent manager of the club. ‘We pushed MacDonald’s odds right out after they were battered by Newcastle, but all of a sudden significant cash is being heaped on him. We have taken a number of three figure bets for him to get the job, with the majority of them being placed in the Sheffield area’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
VILLA are 1/2 to beat Rapid on Thursday, with the draw 3/1 and Rapid 6/1.

TO BE NEXT PERMANENT VILLA BOSS….2/1 Bradley; MacDonald; 5 Sven; 7 Klinsman; 14 Koeman; 16 Brown; McLeish; Southgate.

OCTOPUS PAUL’S MAGNIFICENT SEVEN IS 200/1 HEADACHE FOR BOOKIES

PUNTERS WHO HAVE backed all of Paul the Octopus’s SEVEN successive winners are now just under £100 better off if they have staked £10 on each of his selections, and £2000 better off if they have reinvested their winnings on the next selection every time, say bookmakers William Hill – and if Spain win the Final, as also predicted by Paul, those profits will increase to just over £100 and to £3000 respectively.
‘Even Frankie Dettori only managed seven straight winners in what is recognised as the best ever feat of jockeyship when he rode all seven winners at Ascot in 1996 – Paul could put that winning streak to shame’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘If Spain win tomorrow we can only hope he never predivts another result until at least 2014 when the next World Cup takes place’
