Heavy Gamble On Bluebird To Become A Hammer

Dave Jones has been cut from 10/1 to 6/4 to be the new West Ham boss, by William Hill. He has been the subject of a massive gamble over the space of an hour and has pushed other contenders such as Chris Hughton and Sam Allardyce out to 10/3 and 4/1 respectively.

“Dave Jones has gone from relative outsider to frontrunner in the space of 20 minutes and the gamble would suggest that he is, as reported, the number one target to replace Avram Grant,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Next Permanent West Ham Manager (William Hill Odds): 6/4 Dave Jones; 10/3 Chris Hughton; 4/1 Sam Allardyce; 9/1 Alex McLeish; 14/1 Neil Warnock; 14/1 Martin O’Neill; 14/1 Paul Lambert; 14/1 Chris Coleman; 16/1 Kevin Keen; 16/1 Ian Holloway; 16/1 Malky MacKay; 20/1 BAR

£2 Punter Wins Big On Hammers Hammering United

Although plenty of people would have been expecting Arsenal to triumph against Wigan tonight, not many people were expecting West Ham to win and even fewer predicted 4-0 – with the biggest bet placed being £2 at William Hill, with odds of 125/1. Hills are offering 5/2 that tonight’s victors meet each other in the final with Arsenal the 8/11 favourites to win the tournament and West Ham 9/2.

“Upton Park was bouncing tonight, not least in the seat that housed the loyal Hammer who placed £2 at 125/1 on 4-0. There was not many people who risked even £1 on such an unlikely outcome,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Ipswich are the only non-Premier League side left but even that may not be able to save Roy Keane’s job should they be humiliated tomorrow against West Brom. Hills are offering 4/1 that Keano leaves his job between the end of the West Brom game and the start of the Swansea game.

William Hill Carling Cup Odds:

Outright: 8/11 Arsenal; 9/2 West Ham; 13/2 Aston Villa; 9/1 West Brom; 9/1 Birmingham; 20/1 Ipswich

5/2 West Ham/Arsenal Final

4/1 Roy Keane leaves his job between the end of the West Brom game and the start of the Swansea game
