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 O’Neill’s departure, so he could well be interested this time round should the position become vacant imminently’’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WHO’LL FINISH FIRST AND SECOND IN PREM?

WITH THE twists and turns of the title race continuing, William Hill are betting on the ultimate 1-2 outcome and make Manchester United to beat Chelsea their 7/2 favourite, also offering 9/2 Chelsea – United; 5/1 United- Arsenal; 8/1 Arsenal – United; 12/1 Chelsea – City; 16/1 Chelsea- Arsenal; City- United; Arsenal-Chelsea; 20/1 Arsenal- City; 25/1 City- Chelsea; City- Arsenal.

HOULLIER ODDS-ON TO SURVIVE – JUST!

WILLIAM HILL offer odds of 8/11 that Gerrard Houllier will still be Villa manager on the first day of next season – and Even money that he will not. ‘Houllier has not recovered from his terribly inappropriate comments when Villa played Liverpool, and with results the way are he has already forfeited a great deal of fan backing. In his favour is the very short amount of time he’d been in charge which enables him to say what he’s doing is a work in progress’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills have also opened a book on where Villa will finish this season and they are just 9/2 to end up in the bottom three, which would almost certainly doom Houllier to departure:

WHAT PRICE A WINTER BREAK?….William Hill offer 10/3 that a compulsory Premier League ‘winter-break’ of two weeks or more will be introduced in or before the end of the 2013-14 season and 1/5 that no such break will be implemented. ‘Pressure is growing for a winter-break but it will be difficult to persuade vested interests that it is worthwhile’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Tottenham, Liverpool, Chelsea and Newcastle all scored which made it the first time in Premier League history that all 20 teams have scored in the Premier League and defied odds of 486/1 on William Hill’s ‘will both teams score’ coupon.

Ancelotti will be feeling the strain again and Hills are 9/4 that he has left his position by the opening game of next season. He is also 7/1 to be the next manager to go.

Roy Hodgson’s Liverpool managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and he is now 7/1 to be the next manager to leave their job. Avram Grant is the 10/11 favourite.

“It really was a fantastic weekend of football with upsets and plenty of goals. It may be a long time until we see another one like it,” said Hill’s spomkesman Joe Crilly.
