How Many City Players Will Start For England ? Gerrard To Lose Armband ?

*******************************ENGLAND EURO SPECIALS*********************

HOW MANY CITY PLAYERS WILL START FOR ENGLAND?

WILLIAM HILL believe Fabio Capello will start THREE Man City players against Montenegro, and make that option their 5/6 favourite – but also offer 25/1 that only one or none will start, 16/1 that five will do so.

‘City are well represented in the squad and it will be interesting to see whether Capello believes it is worth starting as many players as possible who play together for a club side’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

AFTER Steven Gerrard led England to win their first two Euro qualifers, William Hill believe Fabio Capello will strip him of the skipper’s armband and hand it back to Rio Ferdinand. Hills offer 1/6 that Rio will start as captain, with gerrard 7/2. ‘It may seem harsh to remove the armband from Gerrard, but Fabio did name Rio as his official captain’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

ROONEY 1/6 TO START

WILLIAM HILL make Wayne Rooney 1/6 to start for England against Montenegro, and offer 8/11 that he will finish the game if he does. ‘Rooney has been out of form and injured but we still believe Capello will put his straight in the side’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Capello 6/1 To Still Be In Charge After Euro 2012

GERRARD 11/2 TO SKIPPER ALL REMAINING QUALIFIERS

Harry Redknapp is the 11/4 favourite at William Hill to succeed Fabio Capello when he steps down as England manager after the 2012 European Championships. New Liverpool boss, Roy Hodgson is the 10/3 second favourite and Martin O’Neill is just behind him at 4/1. David Beckham has been backed in from 33/1 to 20/1 to take over. The next manager is 1/5 to be English and 10/3 that he is non-English.

Hills offer 11/2 that he goes before the European Championships start and 6/1 Fabio is in charge of England’s first game after the Euros.

Despite claiming that he wishes to enjoy his retirement after the 2012 Championships, Hills are offering 3/1 that he moves back to Italy after the 2012 Euros and manages a Serie A club and 7/2 that he manages a club in Spain. He is 5/1 to not manage before the start of 2014 and 9/2 that he manages a Premier League club.

“Capello appears to have made up his mind to leave after the Euros and we can only hope that he leaves on a high. Should his reputation take another battering in Poland and Ukraine, however, the odds suggest that he may give club management one last shot,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

GERRARD 11/2 TO SKIPPER ALL REMAINING QUALIFIERS

William Hill are offering 11/2 that Stephen Gerrard captains England for all of the remaining European qualifiers. Conversely Rio Ferdinand is 1/7 to captain in any qualifying game.

“Rio is the current England captain but at the moment he faces a fight to get back into the starting XI following an impressive start to qualifying, so Steven Gerrard could yet stay as captain for a while yet,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Fabio Capello Odds:

To Leave Before The Start Of Euro 2012: 11/2

To Still Be England Manager For England’s First Game After Euro 2012: 6/1

Where Will Fabio Go After The Euros (to manage): 3/1 Serie A; 7/2 La Liga; 9/2 Any other (including staying England Boss); 9/2 Premier League; 5/1 Not To Manage Before 31/12/13; 7/1 Any International; 11/1 Bundesliga; 16/1 Ligue 1

Nationality Of Next England Manager: 1/5 English; 10/3 Non English

Next England Manager: 11/4 Harry Redknapp; 10/3 Roy Hodgson; 4/1 Martin O’Neill; 5/1 Stuart Pearce; 8/1 Steve Bruce; 12/1 Sam Allardyce; 14/1 Jose Mourinho; 14/1 Alan Shearer; 16/1 Guus Hiddink; 16/1 Ian Holloway; 20/1 Arsene Wenger; 20/1 David Beckham; 20/1 Mark Hughes; 20/1 Alan Curbishley; 20/1 Glenn Hoddle; 25/1 BAR

Next Villa Manager: MacDonald Hot Favourite For Villa Job!

Aston Villa caretaker boss Kevin MacDonald is now the 11/8 favourite to be named as the next permanent manager at Villa after it emerged that he did want the job and Sven is the second favourite at 11/4. “As long as he can write off the Newcastle defeat as a blip then Kevin MacDnald must have a great chance of getting the top job,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

25/1 Fabio To Quit By Midnight Wednesday

FABIO 25/1 TO QUIT BEFORE MIDNIGHT WEDNESDAY

WITH FABIO Capello inviting England fans to boo his team on Wednesday and his ‘new look’ side’s performance sure to be savaged if they do not beat Hungary comfortably, William Hill offer 25/1 that Capello will quit before midnight tomorrow. ‘If the fans do take up his invitation to boo and the new look team is unimpressive the media will be ready to savage him again and that could be the final straw for Fabio’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘And the FA would have a ready replacement in Martin O’Neill close at hand and free to take up the job – he’s 6/1 to become England manager as his next appointment.’
ENGLAND ARE 2/7 TO BEAT HUNGARY WITH HILLS WHO MAKE THE DRAW 4/1 AND A HUNGARIAN VICTORY 10/1.

HOW MAY WILL TURN UP FOR ENGLAND V HUNGARY?

WILLIAM HILL are betting on what official attendance for the England v Hungary friendly will be on Wednesday – and make 50,000-59,999 and 60,000-69,999 their 15/8 joint favourites. ‘The FA are hyping the potential turnout upwards while the media are doing the opposite, so it will be fascinating to see what the actual attendance will be’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

16/1 ENGLAND FRIENDLY LINE UP TO START NEXT COMPETITIVE MATCH

DESPITE Capello’s introduction of new blood into the squad for the friendly v Hungary, William Hill offer 16/1 that he will start with the same line up in the next competitive match v Bulgaria, as he opts for against the Hungarians. ‘The squad for this friendly could well prove to be a false dawn for those expecting a mass cull of the established players when Capello decides on his line up for the first Euro qualifier’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘And we certainly do not expect to see the same line up then – our best guess is that seven or eight who start v Hungary will also do so against Bulgaria.’

Paul The Octopus Punters Are £1400 Ahead Of Bookies

PAUL THE OCTOPUS PUNTERS ARE £1400 AHEAD OF BOOKIES

PUNTERS following the World Cup tips from Paul the Octopus have won up to £1400 by doing so, say bookmakers William Hill, who have taken so many bets on the sea creature tipping the World Cup winner that they have cut their odds for him to do it from Even money to 10/11.
‘If you had just bet £10 on each of Paul’s six successive winning selections on Germany or their opponents so far, you would have made a healthy profit of £84 – but if you had put the winnings from each bet all on to the next one, you would now be looking at £1400 of profit!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
‘Punters are superstitious creatures at the best of times – and many have favourite tipsters they like to follow, but they tend to be human, so this is the first time we’ve genuinely had punters coming into betting shops and asking staff about the predictions made by an octopus.’

William Hill offer:
100/1 To become part of Fabio Capello’s staff .
100/1 Eaten by the German team on return from the World Cup .
1000 King Juan Carlos to confer Spain’s highest honour, the Order of the Golden Fleece, on the Octopus .
1000/1 Squidnapped by distraught German fans .

You Bet It Will Be Capello’s Kids Against Bulgaria

WOULD YOU BACK CAPELLO’S KIDS TO TAKE ON BULGARIA?

WITH THE average age of England’s line up in their final World Cup match against Germany an arthritic 29.18 years old, William Hill are betting on what it will be when they line up for their next competitive game, the opening Euro qualifier against Bulgaria.
‘It is all very well Fabio glibly suggesting he’ll be looking at new players but the crucial element in most fans’ minds will be the ages of those new players’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’We beliebe that there is every chance we’ll see a drop in the average age of four years or more and make 24.1- 25 our 5/2 favourite to be the average age.’

William Hill…..Average age of England’s starting XI v Bulgaria (1st Euro qualifier):

22 and Under…..25/1

23.1-24…..7/2

28.1 and Over…..16/1

HILLS HAVE ALSO OPENED A BOOK ON HOW MANY EURO QUALIFYING POINTS ENGLAND WILL TAKE FROM WALES…..’Disappointment for England in the Wales matches would attract huge criticism from fans and media, so these are two vital matches for Fabio – and we’re increasing the pressure by making them odds on at 8/15 to take all six points’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills……England Points v Wales in the Euro qualifiers:

FABIO ODDS ON TO STICK AROUND UNTIL 2012

WILLIAM HILL now make 2012 their 8/11 favourite to be the year in which Fabio Capello ceases to be England manager.
Despite Capello hitning at bringing in new faces for the Hungary friendly Hills still make Rooney, Terry, Gerrard and Lampard odds-on shots to start the match. (See prices below). But Emile Heskey has already been backed to miss out, from 4/6 to 4/11 not to start.

HILLS have lengthened Harry Redknapp’s odds of becoming the next England manager from 13/8 to 9/4 favourite, but slashed Roy Hodgson from 6/1 to 11/4 second favourite. ‘Who knows what Harry’s fortunes will be once the job becomes vacant, but if Hodgson impresses at Anfield he could well be in just the right place at just the right time to take over if Capello departs in 2012’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL now make 2012 their 8/11 favourite to be the year in which Fabio Capello ceases to be England manager. ‘Fabio has somehow defied the odds and his critics to retain his job, but he still faces the small matter of Euro 2012 qualification which, on paper, should be straightforward’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘We expect him to blood some new players in the August friendly against Hungary and have opened a book on who might start the game’
Despite Capello hitning at bringing in new faces for the Hungary friendly Hills still make Rooney, Terry, Gerrard and Lampard odds-on shots to start the match. (See prices below)

Fabio Backed To Remain England Boss – Carlos For Cottage?

FABIO BACKED TO STAY AS BOSS
WILLIAM HILL have shortened their odds that Fabio Capello will still be England manager when they play their August friendly against Hungary, from 4/7 to 1/2, and have lengthened the odds that he is gone by then from 5/4 to 6/4. ‘There seems to be a sudden flurry of support for Fabio to survive – but we do offer 11/10 that he has gone before the end of the year’ said Hill’s spookesman Graham Sharpe.
With Roy Hodgson seemingly now set to take over at Liverpool, William Hill have made Harry Redknapp 13/8 favourite to be the next England manager. ‘Many thought the England job was there for Hodgson’s taking but maybe he thought it would be a poisoned chalice to take on after the great job he has done at Fulham’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’Mind you, if Capello hangs on for a couple of seasons, Hodgson could still be in the right place at the right time!’

David Villa is 7/4 favourite to be the tournament’s top scorer with Hills who also offer 5/2 Higuain; 4 Fabiano; 14 Suarez; 20 Van Persie; Muller; 25 Forlan; Tevez; Klose; Asamaoah Gyan; 33 Messi; Podolski.

HOWARD WEBB has been backed from 2/1 to 5/4 favourite with William Hill to officiate at the World Cup Final. ‘If Webb gets the job he’ll have cost us the most money at this tournament than Wayne Rooney – you’d probably have got a three figure price about that pre-tournament!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills also offer:

VIDEO TECHNOLOGY ODDS SHORTEN AGAIN

WILLIAM HILL have cut their odds about the introduction of goalline video technology by FIFA in time for the 2014 World Cup from 3/1TO 5/2 after Sepp Blatter of FIFA said that the matter would be re-considered. ‘Mr Blatter’s remarks may have been given undue weight as he has not given the slightest encouragement to those who want to see video technology introduced and last time it was considered by FIFA it was firmly rejected.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WORLD WIDE WEBB?

WILLIAM HILL make English ref Howard Webb 2/1 favourite to win the right to handle the World Cup Final. ‘We have always reckoned he’d have a good chance of the Final – we opened up at 6/1 – and with England out his chances have only increased’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
