Villas Boas 3/1 To Be Out Of A Job Come Second Leg

Chelsea showed some signs of improvement despite losing to Napoli but despite this, William Hill now make Andre Villas Boas 3/1 to have left the Blues by the time the second leg starts. He is 2/5 to have left Chelsea by the start of next season (7/4 to still be there).

William Hill Odds:

AVB to be in his current position on the first day of the 2012/13 Premiership season? Yes = 7/4 No = 2/5

Tevez Backed To Return To City First Team

TEVEZ BACKED TO RETURN TO CITY FIRST TEAM

WILLIAM HILL have slashed their odds for Carlos Tevez to play for Manchester City in either the Premier League or Europa League before the end of this season from 5/4 to 4/7 after a flurry of bets. ‘Mancini appears to be softening his previous hard-line stance on Tevez and punters are taking that as a signal that he’ll be back in the side if he can prove his fitness, and betting accordingly’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills now offer 5/4 that Tevez will NOT play in another first team game this season.

City And United 12/1 To Meet In Europa Final!

Manchester City and United both picked up vital away victories and William Hill make them 12/1 (in from 20/1) to meet in the Europa League Final. Manchester City are now 1/20 to progress to the next stage of the competition (Porto 8/1) while Manchester United are 1/50 (Ajax 12/1).

Stoke had a pretty tough time of it against Valencia at the Britannia and they are 8/1 to qualify (1/20 Valencia).

“Manchesters United and City are the favourites for the whole competition and should they avoid each other in the latter rounds and continue to play the way that they both did tonight, there is no reason why they cannot meet in the final of this competition,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Manchester City are 3/1 favourites to win the Europa League with Manchester United 4/1; Valencia 8/1; Atletico Madrid 10/1; Schalke 12/1 and PSV 16/1. Stoke are 100/1 to lift the trophy.

Warnock Warning For Bookies

LEEDS PUNTERS LUMP ON EX BLADE FOR TOP JOB

Neil Warnock has been the subject of a large gamble in Leeds to get the city’s top football job. Vacant since Simon Grayson departed, Warnock had been as big as 9/2 when Lee Clark left Huddersfield and became favourite for the job, but having been well supported today, in and around Leeds, both online and in shops. Bets of up to £500 were being placed all day on Friday on Warnock getting the job.

The Ex QPR and Sheffield Utd boss is now 1/3 firm favourite to take the Elland Road hotseat ahead of Lee Clark at 11/2, Billy Davies and Mick McCarthy at 8/1 and Steve Bruce at 9/1.

“Whether this is punters in the know or punters hoping that Warnock will get the job, we are not sure, but it would appear that Warnock is the name on everybody’s lips in Leeds at the moment,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Next Permanent Leeds Utd Manager: 1/3 Neil Warnock; 11/2 Lee Clark; 8/1 Billy Davies; 8/1 Mick McCarthy; 9/1 Steve Bruce; 14/1 Neil Redfearn; 20/1 BAR
