Punters Betting On Pompey’s Broken Hart

PUNTERS BET ON BROKEN HART

Portsmouth’s Paul Hart has been the heaviest backed manager in William Hill’s ‘first Premiership boss to go’ market. Hart is now 4/1 favourite, having been backed down from 6/1, with Phil Brown and Alex McLeish the 9/2 joint second favourites, and Mark Hughes 6/1 fourth favourite. ‘Pompey’s financial woes and their lacklustre form at the end of the last campaign undoubtedly explain the gamble on Hart, but if their takeover goes through shortly and they are able to bring players in, their situation could change rapidly’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS: FIRST PREM BOSS TO GO…4/1 Hart; 9/2 Brown; McLeish; 6/1 Hughes;16 Martinez;McCarthy; Megson; 20 Benitez; Hodgson; Pulis; Zola; 25 Ancelotti; Allardyce; Bruce; 28 Wenger; 33 Coyle; O’Neill; Redknapp; 40 Moyes; Ferguson.

DEFOE TO START AGAINST CROATIA?

AFTER HIS two goal performance against Holland, Jermain Defoe is a 9/4 chance with William Hill to start (1/3 not to) England’s next World Cup qualifying match against Croatia – and the same price to be in the starting line up when England kick off their World Cup finals campaign.
Hills make David Beckham an Even money chance to be in England’s starting line up in their opening World Cup finals game, 8/11 not to. Gareth Barry is 5/6 to start, 5/6 not to.

GINOLA GEORDIE BOSS?

DAVID GINOLA is 25/1 to be Newcastle boss on January 1, 2010 with William Hill, who make Alan Shearer 2/1 joint favourite, and also offer 2/1 Chris Hughton, 7/2 Colin Calderwood, 8/1 Kevin Keegan, 10/1 Joe Kinnear, 16/1 Alan Curbishley, 16/1 Aidy Boothroyd, 25/1 Lee Clark, 25/1 Steve Bruce, 25/1 Glenn Hoddle. ‘Ginola appears to have indicated that he’d quite like to be Newcastle boss, and as an ex-player he’d probably be more popular with the fans than most. After all, he doesn’t have much less managerial experience than Alan Shearer’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
BURN-ING MONEY?
WILLIAM HILL have taken a bet of £300 on Burnley winning the Premiership at odds of 2500/1 – in a Hampstead, London betting shop. ‘It is fair to say that this was the most unexpected bet we have taken on the title race, and we have cut their odds to, er, 2000/1’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘But it wasn’t such a shock to take a £10,000 bet on Manchester City, in the form of a £5000 each-way wager. Burnley and City are our worst potential outcomes in the title race but it is fair to say we are taking one of them more seriously than the other!’
LATEST WILLIAM HILL PREMIERSHIP TITLE ODDS: 15/8 Chelsea; 23/10 Man U; 4 Liverpool; 9 Arsenal; 11 Man City; 2000 Burnley.

Portsmouth slashed from 6/1 to 6/4 for drop:
COULD FINANCIAL WOES SINK POMPEY?

BOOKMAKERS William Hill have cut their odds about Portsmouth being relegated this season from 15/8 to 6/4 after runours of financial meltdown at the club swept the world of bookmaking.
‘We began to hear stories during the afternoon, suggesting that Portsmouth may be in danger of going into administration, so reacted accordingly by cutting their relegation odds just in case there might be something in it – the gamble on Portsmouth to go down has been developing all the way through the close season as the much vaunted takeover has failed to take place.At one time they were 6/1 for the drop – but that price is long gone’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL have made David O’Leary 11/4 second favourite in their market about who will be Newcastle manager on the first day of 2010, with only Alan Shearer preferred in the betting, at 11/10.
‘Media rumour seems to suggest that should Mike Ashley fail to find a buyer he may decide to stay at the club and offer O’Leary the job’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘But Alan Shearer is still likely to be the first port of call for any potential purchaser of the club’.

Gareth, Gunn And Sven – Will They Stay Or Will They Go ?

WILL WIN, LOSE AND DRAW BOSSES STAY AT CLUBS ALL SEASON ?
THREE HIGH profile bosses had very different starts to the season. Gareth Southgate’s Middlesbro draw with Sheffield United and fans appeared less than impressed; Norwich’s Bryan Gunn oversaw a humiliating 1-7 defeat to local rivals Colchester; while Sven Goran Erikkson saw Notts County start off with a 5-0 drubbing of Bradford.
William Hill now make Southgate 5/6 to survive, 5/6 to leave by last day season; Gunn 4/9 to go, 13/8 to survive; Sven 6/4 to leave, 1/2 to stay.
‘These three managers are all under pressure for very different reasons but their futures are fascinatingly poised. Southgate seems finally to have used up his goodwill with supporters; Norwich’s result will haunt them for decades and heap pressure on one of the most popular figures ever associated with the club while the more successful County are the more likely bigger clubs are to come courting Sven’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WITH BEN FOSTER likely to get the nod to replace injured Edwin van der Saar in Manchester United’s goal, William Hill are offering him at 7/1 to start in goal for England when they play their first match of the 2010 World Cup finals.Team-mate Michael Owen is 6/4 with Hills to get in the World Cup squad, 1/2 not to, and both will hope to do well in the Community Shield this weekend for which Hills make Chelsea 8/11 favourites to lift the trophy with United at Even money.
Owen is 7/4 to score in 90mins play, 6/1 to open the scoring and 10/1 to net two or more.
