Sol 7/2 To Become County Boss

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

SOL 7/2 TO BECOME COUNTY BOSS
WITH Sol Campbell declaring his wish to become a manager, William Hill are quoting odds of 7/2 that he will (1/6 that he won’t) take over in that role at new club Notts County by the end of the season; 7/4 that he will (2/5 that he won’t) be manager/player manager of any Premiership/Football League club before the end of NEXT season; and 10/1 that he is manager of a Premiership club before the end of the season after that, 2011/12.
‘Sol is one of the most respected players in the game and must have every chance of becoming a manager if that’s his ambition – working alongside Sven can only improve his potential managerial cv and no one -except, perhaps Ian McParland – will be too surprised if he becomes boss at Notts County’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills are also offering a series of other odds about Sol’s first season at County – offering 8/1 for him to score on his debut; 33/1 to be sent off during his debut; 9/2 to be sent off at any stage this season; and 5/6 to score 3 or more goals in League Two this season, 5/6 2 or less.

WILLIAM HILL are betting on which of Saturday’s Premiership games will produce the most goals, and make Burnley’s visit to Chelsea their 9/4 favourite. ‘Although Burnley have done brilliantly to pick up two wins already we suspect that the game at Stamford Bridge will test their defensive capabilities to the limit’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

A WILLIAM HILL punter from Shrewbury has staked £750 at odds of 10/1 on Notts County to amass 100 points and 100 goals in League Two this season.’County have been flying in most of their early matches, but the defeat by Chesterfield suggests that it may not be plain sailing all the way this season’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘However, this bet is typical of the interest we have been seeing for Sven’s side to canter to the title’.
Hills make County 11/10 favourites to win League Two, with Rotherham at 8/1; Bournemouth 12/1; Chesterfield and Crewe both 14/1.
