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

Roy Hodgson has called Birmingham’s goalkeeping coach, Dave Watson, onto his coaching staff, sparking rumours that three former or current Birmingham keepers could be called up to the Euros squad. Former keeper Joe Hart is 1/500 to be in the squad, with another ex-Birmingham keeper, Ben Foster, offered at 1/2 to go the Euros. Current England U21 goalkeeper, Jack Butland, currently working under Watson at Birmingham, is 4/1 to make it onto the plane to Poland and the Ukraine.

“Dave Watson has overseen the developments of a number of good goalkeepers and it can only be a good thing that a number of the contenders for the goalkeeper’s jersey have previous experience of him,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Wolves have announced Stale Stolbakken as their new manager and William Hill make him 9/1 to win the League in his first season and 11/4 to get Wolves back into the Premier League via any means necessary. Wolves are 12/1 to be relegated next season.

Amidst reports that Roy Hodgson has already spoken to Steven Gerrard, William Hill have slashed his price of being England captain against France at the Euros from 13/8 to 8/11. Former favourite, Scott Parker has gone from 6/5 to 2/1, while goalkeeper Joe Hart is the 13/2 third favourite.

England Captain vs France at Euro 2012: 8/11 Gerrard; 2/1 Parker; 13/2 Hart; 20/1 Ferdinand; 20/1 Lampard; 25/1 Barry; 50/1 A. Cole. Others on request…

Goalkeepers to go to the Euros:

Joe Hart: 1/500 yes; 33/1 no
Ben Foster: 1/2 yes; 6/4 no
David Stockdale: 6/4 yes; 1/2 no
John Ruddy: 11/2 yes; 1/10 no
Jack Butland: 4/1 yes; 1/7 no
Frank Fielding: 10/1 yes; 1/33 no
Scott Loach: 16/1 yes; 1/100 no

**Hills make Villa 13/8 to win their opening game against 11/8 Fulham with the draw a 21/10 chance. ‘As he commented himself, it is vital for McLeish to get off to a winning start if he is to get Villa fans on his side’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

When Will McLEISH Leave Villa?

2012 6/4
2013 5/2

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

England U21s need a win against the Czech Republic if they are to progress from their group and are 23/20 with William Hill to do so. They are 6/10 to fail to win and crash out of the tournament. Whatever happens, England need to score and Daniel Sturridge, one of only a few small bright spots in England’s team, is 11/2 to open the scoring in the match, while Danny Welbeck is 13/2.

“England have so far been underwhelming in the tournament and it may be down to Daniel Sturridge or Danny Welbeck to fire them into the semi finals,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Although the odds suggest that England will be packing their bags after Sunday’s game.”

Stuart Pearce is offered at 3/1 with Hills to become the Team GB manager at next year’s Olympics.

William Hill England U21 vs Czech Republic U21:

England To Be Knocked Out: 23/20 No; 6/10 Yes

Match Betting: 23/20 England; 5/2 Czech Republic; 9/4 Draw

Opening Scorer: 11/2 Daniel Sturridge; 13/2 Danny Welbeck; 13/2 Tomas Peckhart; 7/1 Libor Kozak; 9/1 Nathan Delfouneso; 9/1 Vaclav Kadlec; 9/1 Jan Charamosta; 10/1 Scott Sinclair; 10/1 Connor Wickham; 10/1 Michael Rabusic; 11/1 BAR

You Bet Rovers Will Be Kean To Get Rid Of Steve Next Season

William Hill make Steve Kean the 3/1 favourite to be the first Premier League manager to leave their position. Mick McCarty is 7/1 second favourite ahead of 9/1 Steve Bruce. “Blackburn only managed to survive on the last day of the season, having been mid table at Christmas and a vast improvement will be needed if Steve Kean does not want to be the first manager out of the door next term,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

At 66/1 Kenny Dalglish, Tony Pulis and whoever takes over the Chelsea role next, appear to be the three safest managers in the league at the minute, with Roy Hodgson, Martin Jol and Sir Alex Ferguson all offered at 40/1. For no manager to leave all season is offered at 100/1.

William Hill First Premier League Manager To Leave: 3/1 Steve Kean; 7/1 Mick McCarthy; 9/1 Steve Bruce; 10/1 Owen Coyle; 10/1 Roberto Martinez; 11/1 Roberto Mancini; 12/1 David Moyes; 14/1 Harry Redknapp; 16/1 Neil Warnock; 20/1 Alan Pardew; 20/1 Brendan Rodgers; 25/1 Alex McLeish; 33/1Paul Lambert; 33/1 Arsene Wenger; 40/1 Sir Alex Ferguson; 40/1 Martin Jol; 40/1 Roy Hodgson; 66/1 Kenny Dalglish; 66/1 Next Permanent Chelsea Manager; 66/1 Tony Pulis; 100/1 No Manager to leave all season
