Manchester City returned to the top of the Premier League courtesy of a close victory against Aston Villa and William Hill make the Blues 4/6 favourites to win the league this season ahead of Manchester United at 6/5. Villa on the other hand, left the field to a chorus of boos and Hills make Alex McLeish Evens to have left Villa by the start of next season (8/11 to still be there). McLeish is now 8/1 to be the next manager to leave his job.

A 5-1 defeat at home to their arch rivals, will have done nothing to placate the Wolves fans already calling for Mick McCarthys head and William Hill are offering 4/9 that he is no longer at the club come the first game of next season (13/8 that he is still there). Mick McCarthy is 7/4 favourite to be the next manager to leave his job.

The writing appears to be on the wall for Mick, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly. The Wolves fans were already unhappy with the way things were going and a heavy home defeat will not have done anything to change that.

Could arry Bring Becks Back For Euros?

February 11, 2012 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Arsene Wenger, David Beckham, England Job, Euro 2012, First Game, Footy, Gareth Southgate, Greenside, Guus Hiddink, Harry Redknapp, Joe Crilly, Jose Mourinho, Kenny Dalglish, London N22, Martin O Neill, Rafa Benitez, Roy Hodgson, Stuart Pearce, William Hill, Williamhill

Harry Redknapp is the 4/11 favourite with William Hill to fill the vacant England position on a permanent basis and is offered at 7/2 to manage England in Euro 2012 and take charge of Spurs at the start of 2012/13 season. David Beckham could well have an opportunity to play again for England and Hills are offering 16/1 that he is called up to the Euro 2012 playing squad by whoever takes over and he is 7/1 to sit on the bench in any role.

Harry Redknapp is a big admirer of Becks and should he bag the England job, as is widely expected, Beckham could well sit on the bench or even better play again for England, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Liverpool face an uphill battle to qualify for the Champions League and William Hill are offering 6/4 that Kenny Dalglish has left Liverpool by the start of next season (1/2 vice versa).

After just over a year in charge, Liverpool are only slightly better off than they were when Roy Hodgson was in charge and a failure to qualify for any European competition could lead to his departure, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Will Kenny Dalglish be at Liverpool on first game of next season? 1/2 yes 6/4 no

Beckham to be part of England 2012 playing squad 16/1
Beckham to be on the bench for England at Euro 2012 in any role 7/1

Next Permanent England Boss: 4/11 Harry Redknapp; 11/2 Stuart Pearce; 10/1 Jose Mourinho; 12/1 Roy Hodgson; 12/1 Guus Hiddink; 14/1 Martin ONeill; 16/1 Arsene Wenger; 16/1 Rafa Benitez; 20/1 Gareth Southgate; 25/1 BAR

Coyle Cut For Chop After Dire Home Defeat!

February 11, 2012 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Alex Mcleish, Blackburn, Bolton Wanderers, England Manager, Everton, Footy, Greenside, Harry Redknapp, Joe Crilly, London N22, Mick Mccarthy, Premier League Manager, Qpr, Relegation, Steve Kean, Villas Boas, West Brom, Wigan, William Hill, Williamhill

Following defeat in the vital relegation six pointer against Wigan, Bolton Wanderers are 8/11 to be relegated this season. Wigan remain hot favourites to go down at 1/4 with Blackburn 4/7 despite their victory over QPR, who are 5/4 to go down.

It is becoming incredibly condensed at the bottom of the table and a little run could certainly see one of the sides move up the table and it could take a manager getting the sack to do this, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly. Of the bottom five clubs in the Premier League, only one of them have changed their manager and we could well see at least one of them go soon.

Owen Coyle has also been cut from 10/1 to 6/1 to be the next manager to leave his job a market that is headed by potential next England manager, Harry Redknapp at 5/4. Chelsea lost away to Everton and Andre Villas-Boas is 5/1 to be the next manager to go.

William Hill Odds:

Relegation: 1/4 Wigan; 4/7 Blackburn; 8/11 Bolton; 10/11 Wolves; 5/4 QPR; 9/1 West Brom; 12/1 BAR

Next Premier League Manager to go: 5/1 Harry Redknapp; 5/1 Andre Villas-Boas; 11/2 Mick McCarthy; 11/2 Steve Kean; 6/1Owen Coyle; 8/1 Alex McLeish; 8/1 No manager to go; 14/1 BAR

William Hill Weekend Specials…12/1 For City And United Tied At The Top On Final Day

Things are very close at the top of the Premier League and William Hill are offering 5/6 that Manchester City sit atop the table come the end of this round of fixtures (the same price for United to be top on Sunday evening). Hills also go 12/1 that the two Manchester sides finish the season on the same amount of points.

How many points will the winner of the Premier League have: 10/3 90 or more; 11/4 87-89; 11/4 85-86; 4/1 83-84; 5/1 81-82; 9/1 80 or less

How many points will 17th place in the Premier League have come the end of the season: 2/1 40 or more; 5/4 37-39; 5/2 34-36; 10/1 33 or less

Ally McCoist was hamstrung in his attempts to sign a striker to replace the departed Nikica Jelavic and William Hill make the Rangers boss 7/2 favourite to be the fourth SPL boss to leave his job. Paulo Sergio is 5/1 with Jim McIntyre the 7/1 third favourite.

If Rangers lose any more ground at the top of the SPL, Ally could be given the boot, but with his hands having been tied by the restrictions he is working under, he could decide to walk away of his own volition, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Fourth SPL Manager to leave: 7/2 Ally McCoist; 5/1 Paulo Sergio; 7/1 Jim McIntyre; 10/1 Peter Houston; 12/1 Pat Fenlon; 16/1 Craig Brown; 20/1 Terry Butcher; 25/1 Danny Lennon; 33/1 Kenny Shiels; 40/1 Neil Lennon; 40/1 Stuart McCall; 50/1 Steve Lomas; 13/8 No manager to leave

Capello 8/1 To Quit As Gerrard Favourite To Skipper England At Euros

Capello 8/1 to quit:
GERRARD FAVOURITE TO BE ENGLAND EURO SKIPPER BUT TERRY ODDS-ON TO PLAY

WILLIAM HILL make Steven Gerrard 8/13 favourite to skipper England in their opening Euro 12 finals match and they offer 1/ 2 that John Terry will start that game, 6/4 that he will not. Hills are also offering 8/1 that Fabio Capello will stand down as England manager before the Euro finals begin, 1/20 that he does not.
The decision to strip Terry of the captaincy potentially raises a number of issues, including the questions of whether Terry will still be selected to play and whether Capello is happy with the decision, possibly taken regardless of his opinion said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL TO START FIRST EURO 12 MATCH AS ENGLAND SKIPPER:

Steven Gerrard 8/13
Frank Lampard 5/1
Rio Ferdinand 7/1
Scott Parker 8/1
Gareth Barry 9/1

Ashley Cole 16/1

Mourinho Just 2/5 To Have Left Real By The Start Of Next Season!

Rumours in Madrid are suggesting that Jose Mourinho could well be on his way back to the Premier League and William Hill make Arsenal his most likely destination at 7/2. That could probably be explained by the fact that Arsene Wenger is 11/4 second favourite to be Real Madrid manager on the first day of next season, just behind Mourinho at 7/4. Hills offer 2/5 that Jose Mourinho is no longer manager of Real Madrid come the first day of next season.

All is not well at Real and it has been suggested that Jose could be on his way home, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

How Long Will Crawleys Cup Run Continue?

Only two matches went to replays of Saturdays FA Cup ties and William Hill make Southampton the 4/11 favourites to qualify from their tie against Millwall, while Hills cannot split Sheffield Wednesday and Blackpool, offering 5/6 about the pair qualifying.

The biggest result, however, was Crawleys 1-0 victory away to Hull and Hills are offering odds on when the Red Devils get knocked out of the competition offering 2/9 that they do so in the fifth round. They are 300/1 to go all the way and win the trophy and 125/1 to finish as runners up.

Crawley are repeating the feats that took them so far last season and while they have captured the imagination of the FA Cup this year, we think they may well come a cropper in the next round, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Anton Backed To Snub Terry On Saturday…

February 3, 2012 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Anton Ferdinand, Bolton Wanderers, Bookies, Boyhood, Cardiff City, Craig Bellamy, Footy, Gary Megson, Greenside, Handshake, Handshakes, Joe Crilly, John Terry, London N22, Sheffield Wednesday, Shenanigans, War Of Words, Wembley, William Hill, Williamhill

BOOKIES FACE BEING SHOOK UP BY HANDSHAKE SHENANIGANS

William Hill have seen a plunge on the odds of Anton Ferdinand snubbing John Terry during the pre match handshakes with the no odds backed in from 11/10 to 8/11. We have seen a number of three figure bets, the majority of which have come from the East End of London and if Mr Ferdinand fails to shake Terrys hand, we could be all shook up, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Will Anton Ferdinand shake John Terrys Hand: 8/11 no; 1/1 yes

WILL BELLAMY GIVE BOYHOOD TEAM THE BLUES AT WEMBLEY?

Craig Bellamy has claimed that it will be emotional playing for Liverpool against his boyhood side Cardiff City and William Hill are offering 4/9 that he starts the match at Wembley next month (13/8 he does not). He is 5/4 to bag a goal in the final and 20/1 to see red.

MEGSON COULD GET TROTTERS REVENGE SOONER RATHER THAN LATER!

Gary Megson has reignited his war of words with Bolton Wanderers and William Hill think that he could well get the chance to face up against his former employers sooner rather than later, offering 3/1 that the two teams play each other in the Championship next season. Bolton are 5/6 to be relegated, while Sheffield Wednesday are 11/10 to gain promotion from League 1.

Should the teams face each other next season, Hills are offering 40/1 that Megson receives a red card and is sent to the stands.

There will be no love lost between Megson and the Bolton fans and he will be sure to be on the receiving end of a bit of stick which could see him lose his rag and be banished to the stands, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
