Lee Clark has been backed all the way in to 4/11 to become the next manager of Leicester City. The Huddersfield manager has been the subject of a number of three figure bets that have seen his odds in the last 48 hours tumble from 4/7. The only other contender that has been backed is Mark Hughes and his odds have been halved from 4/1 to 2/1. Nigel Pearson is 7/1 third favourite.

Given the frequency with which Leicester change their manager, you would be forgiven for thinking that the Foxes board would have streamlined their hiring process but alas, punters are still waiting and Lee Clarke is now the firm favourite, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly. It would seem that this one has a long way to go yet however.

Next Permanent Leicester Manager: 4/11 Lee Clark; 2/1 Mark Hughes; 7/1 Nigel Pearson; 8/1 Kevin Keegan; 10/1 Roy Keane; 10/1 Gordon Strachan; 12/1 Billy Davies; 12/1 Rafael Benitez; 14/1 Martin ONeill; 14/1 Dougie Freedman; 16/1 Neil Lennon; 20/1 BAR

Lampard Set To Go Head To Head With Wilshere As Leicester Not Too Foxy For Becks

August 5, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Arsenal, Becks, Bet, David Beckham, Emergence, England Games, Euro 2012, Foxes, Frank Lampard, Greenside, Joe Crilly, League Game, Leicester City, London N22, Match, Old Dog, Sven Goran Eriksson, William Hill, Williamhill, Young Buck

There are many reports suggesting that Frank Lampards England career may be over due to the emergence of Jack Wilshere but William Hill think that he still has a role to play, offering 7/4 that he starts more competitive England games this season than the Arsenal ace. Hills go 6/4 about Wilshere starting more and 7/4 that they start the exact same amount of games.

There are many people saying that Lampard may have lost his position to Wilshere but we think that there is still life in the old dog yet and he will give the young buck a good run for his money this season, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Sven Goran-Eriksson has stated his desire to take David Beckham to Leicester in January, although Hills think that an appearance for the Foxes is unlikely, offering 8/1 that he plays a league game in a Leicester shirt this season.

Lampard/Wilshere Match Bet (who will start most Competitive England games between now and Euro 2012): 7/4 Lampard; 7/4 Tie; 6/4 Wilshere

8/1 David Beckham to make a league appearance for Leicester City this season
