JOHN TERRY 2/1 TO BE LEFT OUT OF ENGLAND EURO SQUAD

WILLIAM HILL are offering odds of 2/1 that John Terry will NOT be part of the final England squad for the Euro 2012 tournament. ‘Reports suggest that Terry is not happy about losing the captaincy and there must be a possibility that he will decide to retire from representing his country’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

SCOTT PARKER BACKED TO BE NEW ENGLAND SKIPPER

SCOTT Parker has been backed from 8/1 to 9/2 second favourite to skipper England in their opening Euro 2012 match with William Hill, who make Steve Gerrard 8/13 favourite and also offer; 5/1 Frank Lampard; 9/1 Gareth Barry; 9/1 Joe Hart; 20/1 Ashley Cole; 33/1 Rio Ferdinand. ‘A little surprisingly., Parker has been the springer in the early market with punters believing the captaincy may now skip a generation.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS OFFER 8/1 THAT FABIO CAPELLO WILL STAND DOWN AS MANAGER BEFORE EURO 12 BEGINS – 1/20 THAT HE DOESN’T DO SO.

WILLIAM HILL – TO START FIRST EURO ’12 MATCH AS ENGLAND SKIPPER:

Steven Gerrard 8/13
Scott Parker 9/2
Frank Lampard 5/1
Gareth Barry 9/1
Joe Hart 9/1
Ashley Cole 20/1

Capello 8/1 to quit:
GERRARD FAVOURITE TO BE ENGLAND EURO SKIPPER BUT TERRY ODDS-ON TO PLAY

WILLIAM HILL make Steven Gerrard 8/13 favourite to skipper England in their opening Euro ’12 finals match – and they offer 1/ 2 that John Terry will start that game, 6/4 that he will not. Hills are also offering 8/1 that Fabio Capello will stand down as England manager before the Euro finals begin, 1/20 that he does not.

WILLIAM HILL – TO START FIRST EURO ’12 MATCH AS ENGLAND SKIPPER:

Steven Gerrard 8/13
Frank Lampard 5/1
Rio Ferdinand 7/1
Scott Parker 8/1

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

John Terry and Anton Ferdinand come face to face for the first time since their on-pitch altercation and William Hill are offering 11/10 that the England skipper is snubbed during the pre-match handshakes by Ferdinand.

“With first Wayne Bridge and secondly Anton Ferdinand, John Terry is running out of people to shake hands with,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Frank Lampard is a wanted man, with Carlo Ancelotti looking to team up with his former player at PSG. William Hill are offering 6/4 that Lampard has left Chelsea before the start of next season and make PSG the 5/4 favourites to capture the England midfielder with LA Galaxy 15/8 and Real Madrid 8/1.

Another former Chelsea manager hitting the headlines is Jose Mourinho who could be on his way out of the Bernabeu. William Hill offer 6/5 that he has left Real Madrid by the start of next season and another manager swapping London for the Spanish capital could be Arsene Wenger, who is the 10/3 favourite to take the Real hot seat ahead of Rafa Benitez and Joachim Low at 7/1.

William Hill Odds:

Anton Ferdinand and John Terry to shake hands this weekend: 4/6 yes; 11/10 no

Frank Lampard next club: 5/4 PSG; 15/8 LA Galaxy; 8/1 Real Madrid; 10/1 Inter Milan; 12/1 Milan

Frank Lampard to be at Chelsea on the first game of next season: 1/2 yes; 6/4 no

Tevez to leave Manchester City in January: 1/2 yes; 6/4 no

Tevez to play for Manchester City again: 2/9 no; 3/1 yes

Mourinho to leave Real Madrid by the start of next season: 6/5 yes; 8/13 no

Next Real Madrid Boss: 10/3 Arsene Wenger; 7/1 Rafa Benitez; 7/1 Joachim Low; 16/1 Juan Martinez; 16/1 Sven Goran Eriksson; 16/1 Guus Hiddink; 25/1 Fabio Capello

Becks Odds On For Team G B And P S G !

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

He’s odds on for Team GB, but:
SACRE BLEU! BECKS OFF TO FRANCE?

DAVID BECKHAM has been cut from 4/6 to 1/3 with William Hill to play in the London Olympics for Team GB – while Hills have also opened a book on which will be his next club if he doesn’t re-sign for LA Galaxy.
Becks is 6/4 to sign another contract for the US outfit, and 1/2 not to – while Hills make French side PSG 1/2 favourites to be the next club to sign the former England skipper. ‘Short of inviting Stuart Pearce to be god-father to the next baby Becks, it is difficult to see how much more obvious he could make it that he expects to be included in Team GB’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘But the question of where he will next ply his trade looks likely to see him turning up in Paris.’

WILLIAM HILL BECKS’ SPECIALS…
To play any part in Team GB Olympic football team – 1/3 yes; 9/4 no
To re-sign for LA Galaxy? – 6/4 yes; 1/ 2 no
Which club will Becks sign for next?…1/2 PSG; 5/1 Spurs; 6/1 QPR; 10/1 Anzhi; 10/1 Blackburn; 12/1 Villa; 16/1 AC Milan; 33/1 Real Madrid. Others on request.

RIO TO RETIRE FROM ENGLAND? YOU BET IT COULD HAPPEN

WITH the controversy raging over whether Fabio Capello will stick with Rio Ferdinand as his England captain, or give the armband back to John Terry on a ‘permanent’ basis, William Hill are not only betting on who will eventually succeed Rio as permanent skipper, but are also offering 10/1 that Rio will announce his retirment from international football before the end of the current season. ‘Rio has been battling against injury during the season and is reportedly not happy that Capello is considering taking the armband from him – either or both of these factors could result in a decision to quit international football, possibly so that he can still figure prominently in Man U’s plans’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS NOW OFFER 1/4 THAT JOHN TERRY WILL SUCCEED RIO, WHENEVER HE CEASES TO BE PERMANENT ENGLAND SKIPPER UNDER CAPELLO. ‘This has been so frequently flagged up that it already feels like a fait accompli, but maybe Fabio has been waiting to see what the public reaction to such a possible move would be’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

**Hills….Rio Ferdinand to official announce his retirement from International football before end of 2010/11 season…… 10/1
