Sam Allardyce believes that he has what it takes to be the next England manager and claims that his stake would be strengthened should he get West Ham promoted this season. Allardyce is currently a 20/1 shot with William Hill to get the job after Fabio Capello leaves his post. Harry Redknapp is currently the 8/11 favourite with Martin ONeill 8/1 second favourite.

Big Sam has always been around the fringes whenever there has been discourse about the England managers job and he clearly thinks that he could still do the job, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Next England Manager: 8/11 Harry Redknapp; 8/1 Martin ONeill; 11/1 Roy Hodgson; 12/1 Gareth Southgate; 16/1 Stuart Pearce; 16/1 Steve Bruce; 16/1 Joes Mourinho; 20/1 Sam Allardyce; 20/1 Carlo Ancelotti; 20/1 Gus Hiddink; 20/1 Arsene Wenger; 25/1 David Beckham; 25/1 Glenn Hoddle; 25/1 Mark Hughes; 25/1 Alan Shearer; 25/1 Ian Holloway…others on request

Redknapp Odds Slashed For England Job…but Will He Be Before Or After Euros?

September 17, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Contender, England Job, England Manager, Euro 2012, Euro Championships, Fabio Capello, Gareth Southgate, Greenside, Harry Redknapp, Hat Trick, Hat Tricks, Joe Crilly, Jose Mourinho, London N22, Martin O Neill, Roy Hodgson, Stuart Pearce, Wayne Rooney, William Hill, Williamhill

With astonishing claims suggesting that the FA are drawing up plans to oust Fabio Capello before the Euro Championships and replace him with Harry Redknapp, Hills have slashed the odds on the Spurs boss being the man to replace the Italian when he does eventually step down. He is 8/11 to be the next England boss, with Martin ONeill his closest contender at 8/1 for the job.

The reports on Sunday morning were pretty sensational and it would appear that when Capello does go, whether before or after the Euros, Harry Redknapp has been earmarked as the successor, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Wayne Rooney bagged his second hat-trick of the season on Saturday and William Hill offer 5/4 that those are his only two. He is 9/4 to get one more this season and 3/1 to get two more. He is 6/1 to net five or more trebles this season.

Next England Manager: 8/11 Harry Redknapp; 8/1 Martin ONeill; 11/1 Roy Hodgson; 12/1 Gareth Southgate; 16/1 Stuart Pearce; 16/1 Steve Bruce; 16/1 Jose Mourinho; 20/1 BAR

Who be will be England Manager at Euro 2012: 1/3 Capello; 9/4 Redknapp

How many hat-tricks will Wayne Rooney score this season (currently on 2): 5/4 two; 9/4 three; 3/1 four; 6/1 five or more

England 15/2 To Be Drawn Against France In World Cup Qualifying

August 4, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Alan Shearer, Arsene Wenger, Carlo Ancelotti, David Beckham, England Manager, Gareth Southgate, Glenn Hoddle, Guus Hiddink, Harry Redknapp, Joe Crilly, Jose Mourinho, London N22, Martin O Neill, Roy Hodgson, Sam Allardyce, Stuart Pearce, William Hill, Williamhill, World Cup 2014, World Cup England

With the World Cup 2014 qualifying draw due to take place on Saturday, William Hill are offering 15/2 that England get drawn against former winners, France. 5/2 is offered for the hosts of the tournament, Brazil, go on to win it. Current world champions, Spain are the 5/1 second favourites ahead of Argentina at 6/1 and Germany at 11/1. England are 16/1 behind the four and Holland at 12/1. Republic of Ireland are 200/1, while Scotland are 300/1. Wales and Northern Ireland are both offered at 1000/1 to win the World Cup.

England have generally performed well in qualifying, but should they get drawn against France, their odds will be expected to drift considerably, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

England will, of course, have a new manager at the helm when they start their qualifying campaign and Hills make Harry Redknapp the 6/4 favourite to get the gig followed by Martin ONeill at 6/1, Gareth Southgate at 8/1 and Roy Hodgson at 9/1.

World Cup 2014 Winner: 5/2 Brazil; 5/1 Spain; 6/1 Argentina; 11/1 Germany; 12/1 Holland; 16/1 England; 20/1 Italy; 25/1 Portugal; 28/1 France; 33/1 Uruguay; 33/1 Chile; 50/1 Ivory Coast; 50/1 Serbia; 66/1 BAR

Ancelotti 16/1 to be next England boss,but:
ENGLAND WORLD CUP ODDS ON THE DRIFT

WILLIAM HILL have lengthened Englands 2014 World Cup odds from 12/1 to 16/1 following their disappointing display against Switzerland. They have also lengthened France from 20/1 to 28/1 following the announcement of the seedings for the forthcoming World Cup draw, and shortened favourites Brazil from 7/2 to 5/2, with second favourites Spain out to 5/1 from 9/2.
We have decided that on current form, under the current manager England do not warrant being any shorter than 16/1 and that as we have no idea who the boss will be when 2014 gets underway we should be looking to lay them now said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.
WITH CARLO ANCELOTTI taking a year out but reportedly saying he wants to remain in management in England, Hills have introduced him into the Next England manager market at 16/1. If it is decided to opt for another foreign boss Ancelotti would surely be a contender after all, he speaks better English than Capello said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HUGHES FANCIED FOR VILLA SWITCH

WILLIAM HILL have made Mark Hughes 11/10 favourite to succeed Gerrard Houllier as permanent manager of Villa after stories circulated suggesting that the current boss may not return to his role following illness. There are those who believe Hughes was a Villa target when the job became vacant after Martin ONeills departure, so he could well be interested this time round should the position become vacant imminently said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.

You Bet Green Would Glove To Play For England Again!

May 20, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Alan Shearer, Arsene Wenger, David Beckham, England Manager, Fabio Capello, Gareth Southgate, Glenn Hoddle, Guus Hiddink, Joe Hart, Jose Mourinho, Mark Hughes, Martin O Neill, Paul Robinson, Playing Second Fiddle, Request Further Information, Roy Hodgson, Sam Allardyce, Scott Carson, Stuart Pearce, William Hill

Following the news that Rob Green has withdrawn himself from England duty indefinitely, William Hill have opened a market on who will be the next English goalkeeper to start a competitive game (excluding Joe Hart). Despite their recent announcements, Rob Green is the 9/4 favourite, while Ben Foster is 5/2. Other contenders in the frame to be Englands number two are Scott Carson at 3/1, Scott Loach at 9/2 and Paul Robinson at 14/1.

Rob Green and Ben Foster have obviously grown tired of playing second fiddle to Joe Hart, but our odds suggest that if Englands number one was to suffer an injury or a lack of form, they may well consider a return to the international fold, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Next English Goalkeeper to start a competitive game (excluding Joe Hart): 9/4 Rob Green; 5/2 Ben Foster; 3/1 Scott Carson; 9/2 Scott Loach; 14/1 Paul Robinson; others on request

FA Bigwigs Expected To Buy British

The FA are remaining coy over who will replace Fabio Capello and have refused to rule out a foreign coach succeeding the Italian. Despite this, William Hill make Harry Redknapp the 6/4 front runner followed by Stuart Pearce and Martin ONeill, both 6/1 shots. The first foreign manager (excluding ONeill) to appear in Hills betting is Jose Mourinho, offered at 14/1, followed by Guus Hiddink at 16/1.

The FA have refused to rule out a foreign coach, but we believe that the FA will buy British this time around, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Next England Manager: 6/4 Harry Redknapp; 6/1 Martin ONeill; 6/1 Stuart Pearce; 8/1 Gareth Southgate; 9/1 Roy Hodgson; 10/1 Sam Allardyce; 14/1 Steve Bruce; 14/1 Jose Mourinho; 16/1 Guus Hiddink; 20/1 Ian Holloway; 20/1 David Beckham; 20/1 Glenn Hoddle; 20/1 Mark Hughes; 20/1 Arsene Wenger; 20/1 Alan Shearer; others on request

Tottenham have really lit up the competition this season, but their 4-0 victory, that was very well backed pre match, failed to materialise and the odds suggest that Spurs will struggle to get back into the competition for next year, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Real Madrid and Barcelona will now face each other in the Champions League Semi-Final, in what will be one of four El Classico games before the end of the season and Hills offer 33/1 that Real Madrid win them all and 10/1 that Barcelona do so.

William Hill Odds:

Champions League Outright: 1/1 Barcelona; 5/2 Manchester United; 3/1 Real Madrid; 12/1 Schalke

To Qualify:
7/4 Real Madrid; 2/5 Barcelona;
