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
Martin O’Neill..10/1

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.

Le Misérable – French Misfits Costs Punter £110,000

One William Hill client suffered serious collateral damage amounting to £110,000 when South Africa put an end to France’s World Cup dreams.

The punter, a telephone client, placed a £55,000 each way bet on France winning the World Cup before the tournament, but unfortunately for the punter.

The French will now set their sights on reaching the next major tournament – Euro2012.

William Hill have pushed France out to 2-5 from 1-3 to win their qualifying group.

Meanwhile, Thierry Henry is now 1-4 never to play for the French national team again, and the former French captain, Patrice Evra, who was at the centre of a training ground bust up with the fitness coach, is a 4-6 shot never to play for his country again.’
