You Bet Rvp Is On His Way…what Now For Southgate?

Robin van Persie has been the subject of reported bids from Manchesters United and City as well as Juventus and William Hill are betting on where the Dutch striker will be playing on the first day of next season. He is 11/10 to join moneybags Manchester City, 11/4 to be at Manchester United and 10/3 to still be at Arsenal. Juventus round off the top four at 4/1 with the rest of his potential suitors available at 16/1 or more.

Gareth Southgate has left his role as the FA’s Head of Elite Development and William Hill are now betting on where he will pop up next. He is 7/4 for his next managerial rolw to be in the Championship and 9/4 for it to be in League One.

“It was always a bizarre appointment for the FA to select Gareth Southgate and he may well have been a little out of his depth,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “He may well go back to management now and the Championship looks the most likely destination.”

Emile Heskey is reportedly in talks with Ipswich to sign as a free agent and the former England striker is 66/1 to be the Championship’s leading scorer in the 2012/13 season.

Robin van Persies’s club on the first day of 2012/13 season: 11/10 Manchester City; 11/4 Manchester United; 10/3 Arsenal; 4/1 Juventus; 16/1 AC Milan; 16/1 Barcelona; 20/1 Real Madrid; 25/1 Chelsea; 25/1 PSG

Gareth Southgate next managerial job: 7/4 Championship; 9/4 League one; 7/2 League two; 9/2 International team; 6/1 Premier League…others on request

You Bet It Will Be Capello’s Kids Against Bulgaria

WOULD YOU BACK CAPELLO’S KIDS TO TAKE ON BULGARIA?

WITH THE average age of England’s line up in their final World Cup match against Germany an arthritic 29.18 years old, William Hill are betting on what it will be when they line up for their next competitive game, the opening Euro qualifier against Bulgaria.
‘It is all very well Fabio glibly suggesting he’ll be looking at new players but the crucial element in most fans’ minds will be the ages of those new players’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’We beliebe that there is every chance we’ll see a drop in the average age of four years or more and make 24.1- 25 our 5/2 favourite to be the average age.’

William Hill…..Average age of England’s starting XI v Bulgaria (1st Euro qualifier):

22 and Under…..25/1
22.1-23……9/1
23.1-24…..7/2
24.1-25…..5/2
25.1-26…..3/1
26.1-27……6/1
27.1-28……10/1
28.1 and Over…..16/1

HILLS HAVE ALSO OPENED A BOOK ON HOW MANY EURO QUALIFYING POINTS ENGLAND WILL TAKE FROM WALES…..’Disappointment for England in the Wales matches would attract huge criticism from fans and media, so these are two vital matches for Fabio – and we’re increasing the pressure by making them odds on at 8/15 to take all six points’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills……England Points v Wales in the Euro qualifiers:

6….8/15
4….5/2
3….8/1
2….25/1
1….40/1
0…..200/1

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.
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). But Emile Heskey has already been backed to miss out, from 4/6 to 4/11 not to start.

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.

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’

Meanwhile, Hills have made Joe Cole an odds-on shot to make the Final 23 in Capello’s Squad while David James is 11/10 favourite to start in goal against USA. ‘The Japan game will have given Capello plenty of food for thought before selecting his final 23 and deciding who is his first choice keeper’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’We also now make Crouch odds on favourite to start up front with Rooney in the opening game’
