Allardyce is currently a 20/1 shot with William Hill to get the job after Fabio Capello leaves his post. Harry Redknapp is currently the 8/11 favourite with Martin O’Neill 8/1 second favourite.

“Big Sam has always been around the fringes whenever there has been discourse about the England manager’s job and he clearly thinks that he could still do the job,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

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 Joes Mourinho; 20/1 Sam Allardyce; 20/1 Carlo Ancelotti; 20/1 Gus Hiddink; 20/1 Arsene Wenger; 25/1 David Beckham; 25/1 Glenn Hoddle; 25/1 Mark Hughes; 25/1 Alan Shearer; 25/1 Ian Holloway…others on request

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

Beckham is 20/1 to take over from Fabio Capello although Hills go Even money that Beckham’s first managerial foray takes place in the USA. Hills go 2/1 that he can be seen striding the touchline in England.

“Beckham was an incredibly popular player and the chances are that he would prove a popular choice as England manager, although he may have to cut his teeth at a lower level before getting the big job,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

It would appear that management may be the way forward for Becks with Hills offering 11/2 that he ever starts another game for England and 9/4 that he makes an appearance at any point for the Three Lions, although 2/1 is available for him to start a match for Team GB at London 2012.

Beckham First Managerial Country (as manager or assistant): 1/1 USA; 2/1 England; 5/2 Any other; 25/1 Spain; 25/1 Italy; 7/4 not to manage before 2020

Start a competitive England match again: 11/2 yes; 1/10 no

Feature for England at any point again in the future: 9/4 yes; 1/3 no

Team GB Manager at London 2012: 16/1

Start a match for Team GB at London 2012: 2/1 yes; 4/11 no

Team GB Captain at London 2012: 2/1

When will Beckham retire from playing football: 16/1 2011; 9/4 2012; 7/4 2013; 1/1 2014+

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

Following the news that Rob Green has withdrawn himself from England duty indefinitely, William Hill have opened a market on who will be the next English goalkeeper to start a competitive game (excluding Joe Hart). Despite their recent announcements, Rob Green is the 9/4 favourite, while Ben Foster is 5/2. Other contenders in the frame to be England’s number two are Scott Carson at 3/1, Scott Loach at 9/2 and Paul Robinson at 14/1.

“Rob Green and Ben Foster have obviously grown tired of playing second fiddle to Joe Hart, but our odds suggest that if England’s number one was to suffer an injury or a lack of form, they may well consider a return to the international fold,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Next English Goalkeeper to start a competitive game (excluding Joe Hart): 9/4 Rob Green; 5/2 Ben Foster; 3/1 Scott Carson; 9/2 Scott Loach; 14/1 Paul Robinson; others on request

The first foreign manager (excluding O’Neill) to appear in Hill’s betting is Jose Mourinho, offered at 14/1, followed by Guus Hiddink at 16/1.

“The FA have refused to rule out a foreign coach, but we believe that the FA will buy British this time around,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Next England Manager: 6/4 Harry Redknapp; 6/1 Martin O’Neill; 6/1 Stuart Pearce; 8/1 Gareth Southgate; 9/1 Roy Hodgson; 10/1 Sam Allardyce; 14/1 Steve Bruce; 14/1 Jose Mourinho; 16/1 Guus Hiddink; 20/1 Ian Holloway; 20/1 David Beckham; 20/1 Glenn Hoddle; 20/1 Mark Hughes; 20/1 Arsene Wenger; 20/1 Alan Shearer; others on request
