*******************************ENGLAND EURO SPECIALS*********************

HOW MANY CITY PLAYERS WILL START FOR ENGLAND?

WILLIAM HILL believe Fabio Capello will start THREE Man City players against Montenegro, and make that option their 5/6 favourite – but also offer 25/1 that only one or none will start, 16/1 that five will do so.

‘City are well represented in the squad and it will be interesting to see whether Capello believes it is worth starting as many players as possible who play together for a club side’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILL GERRARD LOSE SKIPPER’S ARMBAND?

AFTER Steven Gerrard led England to win their first two Euro qualifers, William Hill believe Fabio Capello will strip him of the skipper’s armband and hand it back to Rio Ferdinand. Hills offer 1/6 that Rio will start as captain, with gerrard 7/2. ‘It may seem harsh to remove the armband from Gerrard, but Fabio did name Rio as his official captain’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

ROONEY 1/6 TO START

WILLIAM HILL make Wayne Rooney 1/6 to start for England against Montenegro, and offer 8/11 that he will finish the game if he does. ‘Rooney has been out of form and injured but we still believe Capello will put his straight in the side’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Ryan’s Gigg Odds On To Continue

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

IS RYAN’S GIGG COMING TO AN END?

WITH Ryan Giggs unsure about whether to continue playing into next season, William Hill are offering 4/9 that he will still be a United player on the first day of season 2011/12 – and 13/8 that he will not.
‘The day Ryan hangs up his boots will be a sad one even for those who don’t support United – but we think there is a pretty good chance that he will carry on for at least one more season’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Moyes 11/4 To Leave Everton Before Next Season

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

MOYES 11/4 TO QUIT EVERTON BEFORE NEXT SEASON

FOLLOWING Everton’s embarrassing Carling Cup defeat and their terrible start to the Premier League campaign, William Hill have opened a book on whether David Moyes will still be manager at the club on the first day of next season – and offer 11/4 that he will have departed by then, and 1/4 that he will still be in charge. Hills also currently quote him as 9/2 fourth favourite to be the NEXT Premier League manager to leave his club. ‘David Moyes is a highly rated manager who may well be thinking that he has taken Everton as far as anyone could and it would be no surprise if he showed an interest in any high profile vacancy which happened to come along in the near future – but if Everton results don’t improve pretty soon the luxury of deciding on his own departure date could be taken out of his hands.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills are also offering 7/1 that Everton fail to win any of their next five Premier League matches.

Hodgson Now In Crisis?

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

ROY HODGSON’s odds to be the next Premier League manager to leave his job following Liverpool’s defeats to Manchester United and Northampton, have been halved from 20/1 to 10/1 by William Hill. ‘The side beaten by Northampton was made up of players which by and large were not brought to the club by Roy Hodgson, but the embarrassment of the result will impact on the way fans regard his progress since joining the club’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘It is harsh even to consider Roy being forced out in the near future but given the financial problems and Kenny Dalglish’s public statements that he wanted to be manager, a few more poor results could make him consider whether he made the right decision to come to Anfield’.

AND HILLS NOW MAKE HODGSON 1/2 FAVOURITE TO LEAVE LIVERPOOL BEFORE DAVID MOYES DEPRTS EVERTON, WHO IS 6/4 TO BE THE FIRST OF THE PAIR TO GO.

Hills now make Roberto Martinez 2/1 favourite to be the next Prem boss out and also offer 3/1Grant; 4 Mancini; 9/1 Moyes; 10 McLeish; Hodgson; 12 Hughton; 14 Di Matteo; 20 Holloway; McCarthy.
Hills offer 33/1 that NO more Prem managers will leave their clubs this season – ‘Noone wants to back that option’ said Sharpe.

Will Motd Introduce New Talking Heads?

************WILLIAM HILL MOTD….MONEYBAGS’ DERBY SPECIALS**********

WILL MOTD INTRODUCE NEW TALKING HEADS?
WITH Match of the Day coming under some criticism for the recent quality of its punditry, William Hill have opened a book on a number of potential replacements for the existing panel, offering odds about whether they will be invited to guest/appear on the show before the end of the season. And Hills reckon that the ever newsworthy Robbie Savage is the most likely to turn up on the sofa – quoting him at 5/2 to do so. ‘You’d imagine that if the powers that be at MOTD are looking to audition for new pundits the best way of doing so would be by trying them out on the programme – so we’ve made Savage favourite, closely followed by Martin O’Neill and Phil Brown, both of whom would appear to have few other things to be doing if asked!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
