Reds backed from 8/1 to 11/2 to make next stage:
LIVERPOOL 5/1 FOR EUROPEAN GLORY

WILLIAM HILL make Liverpool 5/1 for European glory this season – by winning the Europa League rather than the Champions League. ‘We believe Liverpool’s best chance of silverware this season is probably in the Europa League as they look unlikely to make it through to the next stage of the Champions League’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe. Hills currently offer 1/4 that Liverpool will win nothing this season, 11/4 that they manage to lift a trophy. Hills also make Liverpool 11/10 to finish outside the top four this season in the Premiership.
But some punters believe Liverpool can still make it through, and Hills have had to cut their odds from 8/1 to 11/2 to get through to the next stage of the Champions League, making them 1/10 not to. They are 66/1 to LOSE their final two Group games, and 8/11 to win both.’Optimisim is alive and well at Anfield to judge by the support for Liverpool to make it into the next stage of the competition’ said Sharpe.
Hills now make Rafa Benitez 6/4 from 9/4 to be gone from the club by the end of the season (1/2 to survive). He is also 12/1 fourth favourite to be the next Prem manager to leave his club in Hill’s market, which excludes Phil Brown. ‘Rafa went from hero to almost zero in the space of minutes in the Lyon game, and they will do well to lift themselves from a setback like that’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

IS RIO UNITED FUTURE UNDER THREAT?
WITH RIO FERDINAND under an injury cloud, William Hill are offering 7/1 that he will no longer be a Man U player at the start of next season. ‘Sir Alex has shown in the past that he can be ruthless when players lose form, and if Rio cannot shake off his injury problems, his Old Trafford future could come into question.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills still make Rio a virtual certainty to make England’s World Cup squad, at 1/8 – but offer 7/2 that he does not start the first game at the finals.

Yes 1/8

How Much Will F A Dare Fine Sir Alex ? World Cup Qualifier Specials

WILL FERGIE BE FEELING FINED AFTER FA REF RULING?

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on how much Sir Alex Ferguson will be fined for his comments about referee Alan Wiley’s (lack of) fitness, and offer 4/9 that it will be under £15,000; 9/4 from £15,000- £25,000; and 6/1 over £25,000.

HILLS also offer 5/2 that Sir Alex will receive a touchline ban for his comments about Wiley’s fitness levels, but 2/7 that he will not. ‘We don’t think a touchline ban would serve much purpose in this instance, but even a hefty a fine will hardly leave him on the bread-line – however, the level of fine may at least indicate how scared the FA is of Sir Alex ‘ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills have also opened books on how many points and goals England will take from the two games and offer 7/4 that they will secure all six points, 6/4 that they hit four or five goals in the process. ‘Punters and bookmakers alike are anticipating that even though England don’t need to win these games Fabio Capello’s attitude will ensure that they go all out to do so.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills offer 2/1 that David Beckham will start against Ukraine, with Peter Crouch quoted at the same odds but Emile Heskey 2/7 to do so.
