Coyle Cut For Chop After Dire Home Defeat!

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

Following defeat in the vital relegation six pointer against Wigan, Bolton Wanderers are 8/11 to be relegated this season. Wigan remain hot favourites to go down at 1/4 with Blackburn 4/7 despite their victory over QPR, who are 5/4 to go down.

“It is becoming incredibly condensed at the bottom of the table and a little run could certainly see one of the sides move up the table and it could take a manager getting the sack to do this,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Of the bottom five clubs in the Premier League, only one of them have changed their manager and we could well see at least one of them go soon.”

Owen Coyle has also been cut from 10/1 to 6/1 to be the next manager to leave his job – a market that is headed by potential next England manager, Harry Redknapp at 5/4. Chelsea lost away to Everton and Andre Villas-Boas is 5/1 to be the next manager to go.

William Hill Odds:

Relegation: 1/4 Wigan; 4/7 Blackburn; 8/11 Bolton; 10/11 Wolves; 5/4 QPR; 9/1 West Brom; 12/1 BAR

Next Premier League Manager to go: 5/1 Harry Redknapp; 5/1 Andre Villas-Boas; 11/2 Mick McCarthy; 11/2 Steve Kean; 6/1Owen Coyle; 8/1 Alex McLeish; 8/1 No manager to go; 14/1 BAR

Could ‘arry Bring Becks Back For Euros?

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

Harry Redknapp is the 4/11 favourite with William Hill to fill the vacant England position on a permanent basis and is offered at 7/2 to manage England in Euro 2012 and take charge of Spurs at the start of 2012/13 season. David Beckham could well have an opportunity to play again for England and Hills are offering 16/1 that he is called up to the Euro 2012 playing squad by whoever takes over and he is 7/1 to sit on the bench in any role.

“Harry Redknapp is a big admirer of Becks and should he bag the England job, as is widely expected, Beckham could well sit on the bench or even better play again for England,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Liverpool face an uphill battle to qualify for the Champions League and William Hill are offering 6/4 that Kenny Dalglish has left Liverpool by the start of next season (1/2 vice versa).

“After just over a year in charge, Liverpool are only slightly better off than they were when Roy Hodgson was in charge and a failure to qualify for any European competition could lead to his departure,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Will Kenny Dalglish be at Liverpool on first game of next season? 1/2 yes 6/4 no

Beckham to be part of England 2012 playing squad – 16/1
Beckham to be on the bench for England at Euro 2012 in any role – 7/1

Next Permanent England Boss: 4/11 Harry Redknapp; 11/2 Stuart Pearce; 10/1 Jose Mourinho; 12/1 Roy Hodgson; 12/1 Guus Hiddink; 14/1 Martin O’Neill; 16/1 Arsene Wenger; 16/1 Rafa Benitez; 20/1 Gareth Southgate; 25/1 BAR

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

Ally McCoist was hamstrung in his attempts to sign a striker to replace the departed Nikica Jelavic and William Hill make the Rangers boss 7/2 favourite to be the fourth SPL boss to leave his job. Paulo Sergio is 5/1 with Jim McIntyre the 7/1 third favourite.

“If Rangers lose any more ground at the top of the SPL, Ally could be given the boot, but with his hands having been tied by the restrictions he is working under, he could decide to walk away of his own volition,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Fourth SPL Manager to leave: 7/2 Ally McCoist; 5/1 Paulo Sergio; 7/1 Jim McIntyre; 10/1 Peter Houston; 12/1 Pat Fenlon; 16/1 Craig Brown; 20/1 Terry Butcher; 25/1 Danny Lennon; 33/1 Kenny Shiels; 40/1 Neil Lennon; 40/1 Stuart McCall; 50/1 Steve Lomas; 13/8 No manager to leave

Hills offer 1/8 that the final is contested between two Premier League sides, 100/1 that no Premier League sides make it and 9/2 that one does.

With Stevenage and Crawley both making it into the draw for the fifth round, Hills are offering 5/6 that Stevenage concede more goals in their match against Tottenham than Crawley do in their match against Stoke.

“Crawley and Stevenage are going to be up against it, but the only thing predictable about the outcome of the FA Cup is that it is so unpredictable and we could see a couple of the proverbial banana skins,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

“I am really looking forward to the Liverpool/Brighton match as both sides play a similar brand of football and after the way that Brighton played against Newcastle, Liverpool could be in for a tricky tie,” said Gaizka Mendieta, speaking exclusively to William Hill.

Mendieta also selected a treble for William Hill picking Liverpool, Chelsea and Crawley Town all to qualify and Hills offer 17/10 that his predictions come true.

Note to editors: Hills are also providing a copy of ball number nine (Stevenage) being drawn by Gaizka Mendieta

1/16 Chelsea; 7/1 Birmingham
9/4 Crawley; 1/3 Stoke

1/2 Norwich; 6/4 Leicester

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

Rumours in Madrid are suggesting that Jose Mourinho could well be on his way back to the Premier League and William Hill make Arsenal his most likely destination at 7/2. That could probably be explained by the fact that Arsene Wenger is 11/4 second favourite to be Real Madrid manager on the first day of next season, just behind Mourinho at 7/4. Hills offer 2/5 that Jose Mourinho is no longer manager of Real Madrid come the first day of next season.

“All is not well at Real and it has been suggested that Jose could be on his way ‘home’,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Sven Goran Erikkson 25/1

Others on request.

How Long Will Crawley’s Cup Run Continue?

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

Only two matches went to replays of Saturday’s FA Cup ties and William Hill make Southampton the 4/11 favourites to qualify from their tie against Millwall, while Hills cannot split Sheffield Wednesday and Blackpool, offering 5/6 about the pair qualifying.

The biggest result, however, was Crawley’s 1-0 victory away to Hull and Hills are offering odds on when the Red Devils get knocked out of the competition offering 2/9 that they do so in the fifth round. They are 300/1 to go all the way and win the trophy and 125/1 to finish as runners up.

“Crawley are repeating the feats that took them so far last season and while they have captured the imagination of the FA Cup this year, we think they may well come a cropper in the next round,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.
Crawley FA Cup stage of elimination
5th round 2/9
Quarter finals 7/2
Semi finals 20/1
Runners up 125/1

Anton Backed To Snub Terry On Saturday…

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

BOOKIES FACE BEING SHOOK UP BY HANDSHAKE SHENANIGANS

William Hill have seen a plunge on the odds of Anton Ferdinand snubbing John Terry during the pre match handshakes with the ‘no’ odds backed in from 11/10 to 8/11. “We have seen a number of three figure bets, the majority of which have come from the East End of London and if Mr Ferdinand fails to shake Terry’s hand, we could be all shook up,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Will Anton Ferdinand shake John Terry’s Hand: 8/11 no; 1/1 yes

WILL BELLAMY GIVE BOYHOOD TEAM THE BLUES AT WEMBLEY?

Craig Bellamy has claimed that it will be emotional playing for Liverpool against his boyhood side Cardiff City and William Hill are offering 4/9 that he starts the match at Wembley next month (13/8 he does not). He is 5/4 to bag a goal in the final and 20/1 to see red.

MEGSON COULD GET TROTTERS REVENGE SOONER RATHER THAN LATER!

Gary Megson has reignited his war of words with Bolton Wanderers and William Hill think that he could well get the chance to face up against his former employers sooner rather than later, offering 3/1 that the two teams play each other in the Championship next season. Bolton are 5/6 to be relegated, while Sheffield Wednesday are 11/10 to gain promotion from League 1.

Should the teams face each other next season, Hills are offering 40/1 that Megson receives a red card and is sent to the stands.

“There will be no love lost between Megson and the Bolton fans and he will be sure to be on the receiving end of a bit of stick which could see him lose his rag and be banished to the stands,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Liverpool Red Hot For Carling Cup Glory

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

Liverpool squeaked through into the final of the Carling Cup and unsurprisingly, the Reds are hot favourites to bring the trophy back to Anfield. William Hill make Kenny Dalglish’s men 1/7 to lift the trophy and 2/5 to win the final in 90 minutes. Cardiff are the outsiders and they are 4/1 to lift the trophy and 13/2 to win in 90 minutes. Hills think that Liverpool are such favourites that they have already started taking bets on how many goals Liverpool score on the day and make one the 15/8 favourite although they are 5/2 to score three or more on the day while Cardiff are 4/6 to score no goals.

“Whoever won between Liverpool and Manchester City were always going to be favourites to lift the Cup and we think the cup engraver may as well start practicing writing Liverpool now,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Andy Carroll found himself on the bench against City tonight and William Hill make him 5/6 to fail to start against Manchester United at the weekend.

Carling Cup Outright: 1/7 Liverpool; 4/1 Cardiff

2/5 Liverpool; 13/2 Cardiff; 13/5 draw

Total Liverpool Final Goals
None – 3/1
One – 15/8
Two – 2/1
Three or more – 5/2

Cardiff City to score – 11/10 yes; 4/6 no

Carroll to start vs Man Utd on Saturday 28th January FA Cup
Yes – 5/6
No – 5/6

You Bet Olympic Saga Could Be Sorted Soon…

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

West Ham are allegedly growing frustrated with the lack of movement on the Olympic Stadium front. William Hill think that any problems should be sorted out by 2015, offering 2/7 that any team (in any professional division) is playing or has played a full season of home league matches at the Olympic Stadium by 2015.

“The Olympic Stadium saga has been running for quite a while now, but we think that once the Olympics are out of the way, the Stadium issue will become number one priority and should be sorted relatively quickly,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly

A team to play a full season/be playing a full season of home league matches at the Olympic Stadium by 2015: 2/7 yes; 5/2 no
