CHELSEA DRAW IS MILLION POUND PLUS BOOST FOR WILLIAM HILL

WILLIAM HILL breathed a million pound-plus sigh of relief when Chelsea failed to beat Villa. ‘Thanks a million, Carlo – after Saturday’s punter-friendly results we had hordes of accumulators running on to a Chelsea victory, so their failure to win is worth a seven figure saving to us and probably an eight figure boost for the industry’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL make Carlo Ancelotti an 8/11 chance still to be Chelsea boss on the first day of next season, while Gerard Houllier is 5/6 still to be Villa manager – they are Even money and 5/6 respectively to have left their club by that date. ‘This was a result which clearly did more for Villa than Chelsea, but Houllier is generally perceived to be more at risk than Ancelotti’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills have lengthened Chelsea from 7/2 to 9/2 third favourites to win the Premier League title, and cut Man U from 11/10 to Even money favourites with Aresenal 10/3 second favourites; Man City 11/2; Spurs 20/1.

WILLIAM HILL have slahed their odds for David Beckham to join Spurs before he returns to the MLS from 1/3 to 1/5. ‘There seems to be something of a Redknapp-Beckham love-in going on, so we’ve had to cut our odds for Becks to go to White Hart Lane on loan’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Following the departure of Chris Hughton, William Hill have reopened the betting of the next Premier League manager to leave. West Ham manager Avram Grant is the 7/4 favourite ahead of Wolves manager, Mick McCarthy, and Manchester City’s Roberto Mancini both at 5/1. For another manager to go before Christmas is 7/4.

“Chris Hughton’s departure came as quite a shock seeing as he was 16/1 at the start of the weekend. Under-Fire Avram Grant was the favourite to go before we suspended betting and now the market has reopened he is once again walking on a knife edge” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Next Manager To Go Odds:

7/4 Avram Grant; 5/1 Mick McCarthy; 5/1 Roberto Mancini; 6/1 Carlo Ancelotti; 10/1 Roberto Martinez; 11/1 Roy Hodgson; 20/1 Ian Holloway; 20/1 Mark Hughes; 25/1 Next Newcastle Manager; 25/1 Sam Allardyce; 28/1 No Manger To Go; 33/1 Alex McLeish; 33/1 David Moyes; 33/1 Steve Bruce; 40/1 Gerard Houllier; 50/1 Owen Coyle; 50/1 Roberto Di Matteo; 50/1 Arsene Wenger; 66/1 Tony Pulis; 100/1 Sir Alex Ferguson; 100/1 Harry Redknapp

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

Chelsea have denied that Carlo Ancelotti is leaving Chelsea and have assured him of his short term future. This does not stop him from being the 11/4 second favourite at William Hill to be the next Premier League manager to leave their post. Avram Grant is the 10/11 favourite in the sack race while Roberto Mancini completes the top three at 4/1. Ancelotti is 1/10 to have left Chelsea before Roman Abramovich.

“Ancelotti, looks safe for now but the odds suggest that he is on very shaky ground,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Chelsea are 5/4 to win no trophies this season, although the Blues are 11/10 to win this year’s Premier League.

Guus Hiddink is the 6/4 favourite to be the next permanent Chelsea manager, ahead of 13/2 Didier Deschamps and 8/1 Frank Rijkaard. Fan’s favourite Jose Mourinho is 10/1.

William Hill Chelsea Odds:

Next Permanent Chelsea Manager: 6/4 Guus Hiddink; 13/2 Didier Deschamps; 8/1 Frank Rijkaard; 10/1 Jose Mourinho; 12/1 Fabio Capello; 12/1 Martin O’Neill; 14/1 Jurgen Klinsmann; 16/1 David Moyes; 16/1 Roberto Di Matteo; 20/1 Gus Poyet; 20/1 Marcello Lippi; 20/1 Steve Clarke; 20/1 Gianfranco Zola; 25/1 Harry Redknapp; 33/1 Mark Hughes; 33/1 Sven Goran Eriksson; 66/1 Dennis Wise; 66/1 Ray Wilkins; 66/1 Sir Alex Ferguson

You Bet Stoke Boss Safest In Division !

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

YOU BET TONY PULIS SAFEST BOSS BET TO SURVIVE UNTIL NEXT SEASON…..

WITH A NUMBER OF PREMIER LEAGUE managers under short or long term pressure for various reasons, William Hill have opened a book on the individual chances of each of the 20 bosses leaving their current club before the first day of next season or not and, slightly surprisingly, have made Stoke’s Tony Pulis the best bet still to be in place when 2011/12 season kicks off. ‘You can make a case for almost every one of the 20 managers not to be in place on the first day of next season – Fergie may have retired, Arsene Wenger may have quit after winning nothing again, Ancelotti hay have won everything and fancy a new challenge, other bosses may have been sacked after disappointing seasons – but we think Tony Pulis is bomb-proof at Stoke and make him 1/20 still to be there’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘But we reckon Roy Hodgson is the most vulnerable boss at the moment – and he’s 4/7 to be gone by the first day of the next campaign, with Chris Hughton not far behind him at 8/11.’

Under pressure Newcastle boss Chris Hughton has been cut from 7/2 to 6/4 joint favourite with Roy Hodgson to be the next Prem manager to leave his club. ‘Rumours are rife that Hughton is not guaranteed a new contract with Newcastle, and the weekend derby against Sunderland could be crucial for his future prospects’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills make Rooney 8/15 to score more than his younger team-mate, with a tie between them offered at 8/1. ‘Wayne has inadvertently heaped even more pressure on his own shoulders during a period in which he is showing only glimpses of his best form, and the new kid on the block is threatening to out-shoot the ageing gunslinger!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Gerard Houllier 28/1 To Not See Villa Win Until November

Gerard Houllier 28/1 To Not See Villa Win Until November

With Gerard Houllier set to take charge of Villa against Stoke on Monday, William Hill are offering 125/1 that he can shepherd Villa to the Premier League title. Hills expect Villa to finish outside the Champions League spots, offering 1/7 that they finish between fifth and tenth and 33/1 to get relegated.

Hills make Villa’s game against Stoke on Monday a 7/4 chance to be Houllier’s first win while their match against Bolton next week is 11/8. For them to win no games by the end of October is 28/1.

Hills have also opened a market on how many points Villa will get against Liverpool this season. They are 8/1 to get six points, 5/2 to get three and 4/1 to get no points.

“Houllier is a manager with vast experience of managing at this level, however, the odds suggest that he will struggle to push Villa to the next level, for this season at least,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Aston Villa Odds:

First Villa League Win: 7/4 Stoke; 11/8 Bolton; 6/1 Wolves; 16/1 Tottenham; 50/1 Chelsea; 20/1 Sunderland; 25/1 Birmingham; 28/1 No Premier League Win By The End Of October

Villa Premier League Finishing Position: 125/1 Winner; 10/1 2nd to 4th; 1/7 5th to 10th; 9/2 11th to 17th; 33/1 18th to 20th.

Villa Points vs. Liverpool: 8/1 Six; 7/2 Four; 5/2 Three; 8/1 Two; 7/2 One; 4/1 None

Macdonald Favourite Once More As Villa Saga Continues

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

After a see-saw 48 hours in the betting for who will be the next Aston Villa manager, bookmakers William Hill have now reinstated Kevin MacDonald as the favourite to take the job on a permanent basis. MacDonald is priced at 5/4 having drifted to 2/1 yesterday. Gerard Houllier has been slashed from 10/1 to 5/2 while Alan Curbishley has eased from 2/1 to 11/4. The shortlist looks certain to contain the top three in the betting.

“Thursday saw a lot of movement in the market and this prompted us to believe that a decision was imminent. All that can be surmised from yesterday’s activity is that Villa appear to have narrowed their shortlist down to three candidates,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Odds:

Next Aston Villa Manager: 5/4 Kevin MacDonald; 5/2 Gerard Houllier; 11/4 Alan Curbishley; 12/1 Sven Goran Eriksson; 20/1 Alex McLeish; 20/1 Bob Bradley; 20/1 Ronald Koeman; 20/1 David Moyes; 25/1 BAR
