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

In the race to be next permanent Fulham manager, William Hill have reported the quietest day since opening the book. Sven Goran Eriksson is the 5/4 favourite, with Dave Jones 3/1 and Mark Hughes at 4/1.

“It has been a very slow day indeed which would suggest that the Fulham directors have gone back to the drawing board and it speaks volumes that Sven tops the market,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Next Fulham Manager: 5/4 Sven Goran Eriksson; 3/1 Dave Jones; 4/1 Mark Hughes; 7/1 Alan Curbishley; 12/1 Ray Lewington; 12/1 Otmar Hitzfeld; 14/1 Gianfranco Zola; 14/1 Bob Bradley; 16/1 Martin Jol; 20/1 Bar

Man City: Out With The Old In With The New?

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

William Hill are taking bets on how many of Manchester City’s starting XI from the final game of last season will start the first game of this one. With the spending spree set to continue, Hills offer just 13/8 that only 3 or 4 make the line up against Spurs on the 14th of August. With two of the players from City’s 1-1 draw with West Ham having left the club already and a somewhat depleted XI starting the game, Hill’s are offering 8/1 that 8 or 9 start.

“City have made no secret of their desire to bringin players of the highest quality in an attempt to improve on their 5th place last season and they could probably make 3 or 4 starting XIs out of the squad that they have amassed. The odds suggest that Mancini will be keen to blood his new signings against Tottenham,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Odds:

How Many Of Man City’s Starting XI In The Final Game Of Last Season Will Start The First Game Of This Season?

2 or less 11/2
3 or 4 13/8
5 or 6 11/8
7 or more 11/4

Starting XI in the final game of last season: Fulop; K. Toure; Sylvinho; Zabaleta; Wright-Phillips; De Jong; Vieira; Kompany; A Johnson; Adebayor; Santa Cruz

Torres Odds On To Stay But 7/2 For City Move!

With a number of clubs itching to get their hands on Fernando Torres’s signiture, Hills have opened a book on which club he will represent on the first day of the season and perhaps surprisingly he is 1/2 to still be a Liverpool player. Moneybags Man City are 7/2 and Chelsea 8/1.

“There are very few teams who can afford Torres price tag, as a result we feel that he will remain a Liverpool player,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Fernando Torres’ Club On First Day Of 2010/11 Season: 1/2 Liverpool, 7/2 Man City, 5/1 Chelsea, 8/1 Barcelona, 12/1 Inter, 16/1 Real Madrid…..Others On Request….Loan Deals Count

Martin Jol Withdraws From Race…dave Jones New Favourite For Fulham Hot Seat

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

The long running saga of who will be the next Fulham manager took yet another turn this morning when Martin Jol admitted he was staying with Ajax. This has seen his odds drift from 1/8 to 25/1 at William Hill in the space of four days. Conversely Hills are facing big liabilities on 5/2 favourite Dave Jones taking the hot seat having previously quoted him at up to 25/1. Sven Goran Eriksson also seems keen on a return to the Premiership and is now the 9/2 second favourite. Alan Curbishley and Bob Bradley are the 9/1 joint third favourites.

“Some far sighted punters could be in for a big windfall, having backed Dave Jones at 25/1, but the likely sticking point could prove to be the issue of compensation to Cardiff City. We are expecting this saga to continue for a little while longer and could still see an outsider take the job,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Odds:

Next Fulham Manager: 5/2 Dave Jones; 9/2 Sven Goran Eriksson; 9/1 Alan Curbishley; 9/1 Bob Bradley; 10/1 Mark Hughes; 10/1 Gianfranco Zola; 12/1 Otmar Hitzfeld; 14/1 Ray Lewington; 14/1 Stuart Baxter; 16/1 Lee Clark; 20/1 Bar

Jose Mourinho: The Special One Or A Lucky Punter!

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

Jose Mourinho has been in charge of Real Madrid for nearly two months and it is almost time to discover if he is indeed the Special One. William Hill have opened a book of Real Madrid specials in anticipation of the forthcoming season. Real are 4/7 to win a major trophy next season (La Liga, Copa del Rey or Champions League) and 5/4 that they do not. Jose is 33/1 to scoop the treble. Despite Mourinho’s preference for defensive football, Real are 7/2 to score more than 100 goals this season and 5/1 to break the La Liga record for goals scored by a team (107 in 1998-9 by Real Madrid). The abject performances in ‘El Classico’ last season certainly did not endear Manuel Pelligrini to the Real faithful and Mourinho is 9/2 to win both Barcelona clashes. For no Real wins, Hills offer 5/4 and Evens that they win one. Should he fail, Hills offer 7/2 that he is out of the job before the last day of the season.

“For the first time in his career there is no hiding in Madrid for Mourinho. With the talent and funds available to him, it could be argued that Real will be expecting to win everything next season. Should he fail, it would be interesting to see if he receives more support from the board than his predecessors have,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Real Madrid specials:

To score more than 100 league goals – 7/2

To break the record for goals scored by a team (107) – 5/1

To win a major trophy next year – 4/7 Yes; 5/4 No

To do the treble (La Liga, Copa del Rey; Champions League) – 33/1

Vs. Barcelona: Number of wins – 5/4 None; 1/1 One; 9/2 Two

Mourinho to still be manager at the start of next season – 1/6 Yes; 7/2 No
