WILL MARK HUGHES SPARK FIGHT FOR HIS SERVICES? YOU BET!

WILLIAM HILL now make Mark Hughes favourite to become the next Villa manager – and third favourite to take over at Chelsea! ‘Punter fully expected Hughes to jump straight from Fulham to Villa – but it hasn’t happened yet, which confuses the betting’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘We now have a number of the same candidates in the frame for more than one of the jobs currently out there – Cardiff, Chelsea, Fulham and Villa.

Moyes Out Gamble Subsides

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

YOU BET ‘MOYES TO QUIT’ RUMOUR WAS MISPLACED.

DAVID MOYES was cut from 16/1 to 3/1 by William Hill to be the next Premier League manager to leave his club as a gamble developed during the early part of Wednesday that he was about to leave Everton. But with no supporting evidence to back up the claims, his odds have drifted back out, doubling to 6/1. ‘Given that the market often anticipates managerial departures – Sam Allardyce was gambled on significantly just before he quit out of the blue earlier this season, for example’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Share, ‘But in this instance as there was no particularly worrying pattern to the gamble, or substantial bets involved we quickly decided that this rumour was probably based on Moyes’ frustration and outspoken comments after Tuesday night’s defeat to Arsenal, and pushed the odds back out without being knocked over in the rush to get on.’
HILLS NOW MAKE AVRAM GRANT 4/7 FAVOURITE TO BE THE NEXT PREM BOSS TO GO, WITH MOYES 6/1 ALONG WITH DI MATTEO; 10 HUGHES; MARTINEZ; 12 MCLEISH; 12 ANCELOTTI.
David Moyes is 4/11 with Hills still to be Everton boss on the first day of next season, 2/1 not to. ‘You can’t really see Moyes leaving Everton where he is so highly regarded unless he is tempted away by one of the so-called glamour clubs’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

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.
