Hills have also cut him from 5/1 to 4/1 to be the next Premier League manager to leave this season, and 5/6 that he is gone by the first day of next season. ‘The Champions League would seem to be Ancelotti’s only route to long term survival at Chelsea’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

’URRY UP ‘ARRY – ENGLAND EXPECTS……!
Following Spurs’ outstanding win in Milan, masterminded by Harry Redknapp, William Hill cut his odds from 3/1 to 5/2 to become the next permanent England manager – and have had to cut their odds further, from 5/2 to 2/1 favourite as football fans backed him to succeed Capello.

‘Most football fans have a soft spot for ‘Arry, as he is frequently known, and it appears that most punters – even Spurs’ fans – are convinced he is the man to restore England’s fortunes once Capello as finally been prised away from the job’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL…NEXT PERMANENTLY APPOINTED ENGLAND MANAGER….2/1 Harry Redknapp; 6/1 Martin O’Neill; 8/1 Stuart Pearce; 8/1 Gareth Southgate; 9/1 Roy Hodgson; 12/1 Sam Allardyce; 12/1 Steve Bruce; 14/1 Alan Shearer.
