Fabio 11/10 To Be Out This Year

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

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.

**HILLS OFFER 1/3 THE NEXT MANAGER WILL BE ENGLISH, 9/4 NOT.

**WHEN WILL FABIO GO…11/10 – 2010;…6/1 2011….7/4 2012….11/1 2013…..7/1 2014…..14/1 2015+

ENGLAND TO WIN EURO 2012 – 9/1

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.

HILLS…NEXT PERMANENT ENGLAND MANAGER:
Harry Redknapp..7/4
Roy Hodgson..7/2
Stuart Pearce..7/1

VIDEO TECHNOLOGY ODDS SHORTEN

WILLIAM HILL have cut their odds about the introduction of goalline video technology by FIFA in time for the 2014 World Cup from 7/2 to 3/1 after taking bets of up to £200 that it will happen: ‘FIFA’s initial response has not been encouraging for those who want to see video technology introduced, but we continue to take significant cash about it happening’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

1/3 Next England Boss English As Bookies Save £50m

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’
HILLS ARE 5/4 THAT CAPELLO IS GONE BY THE END OF THE WORLD CUP.
HILLS OFFER 1/3 THE NEXT MANAGER WILL BE ENGLISH, 9/4 NOT.

HILLS OFFER 5/1 THAT FIFA WILL INTRODUCE GOALLINE VIDEO TECHNOLOGY FOR THE NEXT WORLD CUP.

WILLIAM HILL are offering odds of 11/4 that Fabio Capello will announce his resignation as England manager before midnight on Wednesday (English time).
‘If England fail to beat Slovenia and are eliminated from the World Cup there will be an immediate outcry from fans – it seems unlikely that the manager could survive the fall-out from such a humiliation, but whether he would walk straight away is open to speculation’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Fabio Backed To Go Before End Of World Cup

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

PUNTERS BET FABIO WILL BE OUT BEFORE END OF WORLD CUP

WILLIAM HILL have slashed their odds for Fabio Capello to be an ex-England manager before the end of the World Cup from 10/3 to 2/1 after a rush of bets for the Italian to walk away or be sacked during the tournament.
‘We had to slash the odds rapidly as punters poured cash on Fabio to go – noone at all wanted to take the current odds of 4/11 that he will still be in place when the World Cup is over – as far as England fans are concerned it is now a case of when will Fabi-go rather than if he will go’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
ALTHOUGH Roy Hodgson is being linked with the Liverpool job, William Hill believe he would be a leading candidate should Fabio Capello’s World Cup end in early elimination and dismissal or resignation as England boss.
Hills have installed Hodgson and Harry Redknapp as 3/1 joint favourites to succeed Capello as England boss; ‘Many people believe Hodgson should have got the job when Sven beat him to it and little that has happened since suggests that the Fulham boss wouldn;t have made a worse job of England than those who have since held the post’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
**Capello is 10/3 with Hills to cease to be England boss before the end of the World Cup.

WILLIAM HILL…TO SUCCEED FABIO AS PERMANENT ENGLAND BOSS:

Hodgson 3/1
Redknapp 3/1
Mourinho 5/1
Wenger 10/1
Pearce 10/1
Shearer 33/1
Beckham 50/1

YOU BET ROONEY WILL BE SORRY AGAIN!

WAYNE ROONEY is 6/1 with William Hill to have to issue ANOTHER official apology for some trangression during England’s game against Slovenia. ‘After the booing incident, for which he had had to formally apologise, we wouldn’t be surprised if there was another incident of similar type should England under-perform again on Wednesday’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Hills have already cut their odds for Rooney to be red-carded in the game against Slovenia from 33/1 to 20/1.

WILLIAM HILL ARE BETTING ON WHETHER ANDY MURRAY WILL BE KNOCKED OUT OF WIMBLEDON BEFORE ENGLAND GO OUT OF THE WORLD CUP – AND OFFER 4/7 THAT MURRAY WILL BE THE FIRST TO GO OUT, 5/4 THAT IT WILL BE ENGLAND.

‘Biggest ever England winner for bookies’:
Fabio 10/3 to be gone by end of World Cup:
ENGLAND 13/8 TO GO OUT AT GROUP STAGE AS BOOKIES CLEAN UP

ENGLAND are now quoted at 13/8 by William Hill to FAIL to qualify from their World Cup Group after another dismal display against Algeria and Hills have lengthened England to 10/1 SIXTH favourites to win the tournament, having started as third favourites.
‘As bookmakers we should be over the moon, as that looks like the biggest winning England game we’ve ever seen – the indiustry must have made around £10million -but as patriots we are almost in despair’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘We are making short term profits from England’s failures but in the long term we want them going much further in the tournament to keep the interest going’
Hills believe that Fabio Capello’s own future as England boss is now under threat and they offer 10/3 that he will be gone by the end of the tournament. ‘If England don’t improve rapidly Fabio’s future as boss will be measured in days rather than years’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’He certainly won’t be around to celebrate his 65th birthday, exactly a year hence, as England manager.’
ENGLAND ARE 2/5 WITH HILLS TO WIN THEIR VITAL GAME AGAINST SLOVENIA, WHO ARE 6/1 WITH THE DRAW 11/4.

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on how many minutes’ play Ledley King will chalk up during the World Cup and offer 15/8 that he’ll play the equivalent of five or more 90 games. ‘Ledley looks to be in pole position to replace Rio and could easily figure in every game if he can stay fit’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
