Fulham 2/1 For Top Half Finish

Fulham 2/1 for top half finish:

‘SPARKY’ SPECIALS:

WILLIAM HILL make Mark Hughes a 2/1 chance to achieve a top half finish with Fulham – and 25/1 to bring in three or more Man City players to the club before the close of the first transfer window. ‘Hodgson is a tough act to follow, but ‘Sparky’ Hughes is already eyeing a top ten finish – and he won’t have the distraction of the Europa League as Hodgson did. However, we make them odds-on to finish lower than the 12th place Hodgson achieved last campaign’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Hills make Fulham 5/1 to finish 12th again this season, 7/4 to finish 11th or higher; 8/13 13th or lower.

Punters back O’Neill to go:
O’NEILL OFF TO ANFIELD?

WILLIAM HILL have slashed their odds for Martin O’Neill to be the next Premier League manager to leave his current job from 66/1 to 7/1. ‘We took a number of bets in branches not a million miles from Villa Park, with one punter asking for, but not getting, a £500 bet, followed by other requests for three figure bets As a cautionary move – and taking into account that Villa were beaten 7-1 last time out – we cut the odds, initially from 66/1 to 20/1 and when that didn’t stop the bets, to 7/1. At the same time we have also received enquiries for O’Neill to be the next Liverpool manager.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL…TO BE NEXT PREM BOSS TO GO THIS SEASON: 6/5 Zola; 5/1 Laws; 5/1 Grant;7/1 O’Neill; 20/1 Bruce; 25/1Ancelotti; Benitez; Dowie; McCarthy.Others on request. (4/5 no more to go this season)

SO, WHEN IS FIRST PREM BOSS GOING TO GET CHOP?

WITH NO Premiership manager yet leaving his club this season, William Hill are betting on when the first one will go, and reckon it will probably happen in October, the month they have made 2/1 favourite. ‘Every manager knows that a few poor results can result in pressure from fans, and there are a few sides who haven’t made the best of starts to the season but as yet noone has paid the ultimate price – surely that situation can’t last for much longer in those impatient times’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Sep-09 9/2
Oct-09 2/1
Nov-09 5/2

WHEN A MANAGER DOES EVENTUALLY GO, William Hill reckon it will be Paul Hart, who is 11/8 favourite to be the first Prem boss to go. Hills also offer: 5/1 Brown; Megson; 7 Martinez; 8 McLeish; 10 Benitez; 12 Hughes; 16 Moyes; 20 Zola; 25 Allardyce; Hodgson; McCarthy; O’Neill.

BIG FOUR TO BATTER BOOKIES AGAIN?
WILLIAM HILL are offering 39/10 about Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United all winning this weekend. ‘We’re tempting fate by taking on the Big 4 – but as all bar Chelsea have proved vulnerable already this campaign we’re hopeful that they won’t all win’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILL IPSWICH FANS STAY KEANE ON ROY?
WITH IPSWICH struggling without a win in the Championship relegation zone, William Hill are offering odds of 5/6 that Roy Keane will cease to be their manager before the end of the season, and 5/6 that he is still in place on the final day of the campaign. ‘Keane was greeted like a conquering hero when he arrived at the club but there are reports of the side being booed off in recent matches and without a win to show for their efforts so far Roy needs a rapid turnaround in form if he is to avoid an ignominious early exit. As our odds suggest we believe that it could go either way for him’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills have cut Ipswich to 8/1 to be relegated from 40/1 at the start of the season. ‘Everyone is assuming that they are too good and have too much money to go down. But the fate of Leeds, Norwich and Southampton suggests that that’s not certain to be the case’ said Sharpe.

Who’ll Go First – Moyes Or O’ Neill ?

WHO’LL GO FIRST – MOYES OR O’NEILL?

WITH both of their sides making a disappointing start to the new season, William Hill have slashed the odds about David Moyes and Mart O’Neill being the first manager of the season to leave his club – and opened a book on which of the two will go first this season.
Hills make Moyes 7/1 to go first this season; O’Neill 8/1 but offer 1/7 that both will still be in place when the final Premiership game of the season kicks off.
Hills make Villa 8/11 by Hills to finish higher than Everton, who are Even money to do vice versa.
MOYES has been cut from 40/1 to 16/1 by Hills to be the first manager to go this season, with O’Neill down from 33/1 to 20/1. ‘Both are amongst the best regarded managers in the Premiership but their opening results have suggested that they might both struggle to equal or improve upon what their sides managed to do last season, and that could prompt a sacking or resignation’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS: FIRST PREMIERSHIP MANAGER TO PART COMPANY WITH CLUB: 7/2 Hart; 5/1 Brown; McLeish; 8/1 Hughes; 10/1 Megson; 16/1 McCarthy; Moyes; 20/1 O’Neill; 25 Benitez; Hodgson; Martinez.
