Rio To Retire From England? You Bet It Could Happen

RIO TO RETIRE FROM ENGLAND? YOU BET IT COULD HAPPEN

WITH the controversy raging over whether Fabio Capello will stick with Rio Ferdinand as his England captain, or give the armband back to John Terry on a ‘permanent’ basis, William Hill are not only betting on who will eventually succeed Rio as permanent skipper, but are also offering 10/1 that Rio will announce his retirment from international football before the end of the current season. ‘Rio has been battling against injury during the season and is reportedly not happy that Capello is considering taking the armband from him – either or both of these factors could result in a decision to quit international football, possibly so that he can still figure prominently in Man U’s plans’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS NOW OFFER 1/4 THAT JOHN TERRY WILL SUCCEED RIO, WHENEVER HE CEASES TO BE PERMANENT ENGLAND SKIPPER UNDER CAPELLO. ‘This has been so frequently flagged up that it already feels like a fait accompli, but maybe Fabio has been waiting to see what the public reaction to such a possible move would be’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

A SPECIAL CHELSEA COMEBACK? YOU BET..

WILLIAM HILL have cut their odds for Jose Mourinho to return to Stamford Bridge as the next permanent Chelsea boss from 8/1 to 4/1 after taking a number of three figure bets on the Special One succeeding Carlo Ancelotti. We saw three figure bets in those hot spots of football, Barnsley and Kent, but with a number of other, smaller wagers also being staked there is clearly speculation that Jose is not long for Real and that Carlo could be history at Chelsea by next season. Bitter experience has taught us to react quickly to unexpected beting moves in Next Boss markets! said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL offer 9/2 that Arsene Wenger will cease to be Arsenal manager before the first day of next season after his side crashed out of a third competition and were quoted at 2/5 by Hills to have yet another trophy-less campaign. ‘The fans have to begin to get restless after seeing their hopes of a Quad, a Treble and a Double reduced to a Single’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILL CAPELLO BRING BACK TERRY AS SKIPPER?

WITH Fabio Capello said to be considering returning the England captaincy to John Terry, William Hill have made the Chelsea player 7/4 joint second favourite to wear the armband when England kick off in their forthcoming Euro qualifier against Wales. Hills make Rio Ferdinand 13/8 favourite to start as skipper, with Frank Lampard also offered at 7/4 and Wayne Rooney 16/1. ‘Capello is risking a backlash from fans of he hands the armband back to Terry, particularly if Ferdinand is fit to play’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
