Championship Sack Race Hots Up: Sven Odds On To Go Before Mclaren

August 13, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Brian Mcdermott, Bristol City, Brolly, Draw 6, Gus Poyet, Jackett, Joe Crilly, Malky, Nigel Clough, Nigel Pearson, Paul Jewell, Profile Managers, Race Hots, Sack Race, Sam Allardyce, Steve Cotterill, Steve Mclaren, Sven Goran Eriksson, Tony Mowbray, Volatile Market

With the Championship season set to kick off this weekend, Hills are offering a brand new market on the Manager Sack Race. The Championship is home to a number of high profile managers this year and the market is expected to be incredibly competitive with Coventry manager, Andy Thorn, the 6/1 favourite to be the first manager to leave his club. Keith Millen and Sean Dyche round off the top three at 7/1. With two former England managers plying their trade in the division, Hills offer 14/1 that Steve McLaren is the first manager to go, while Sven Goran Eriksson is 16/1 although Sven is 8/11 to be out of a job before the Wally with the Brolly.

This years Championship is expected to be one of the closest ever with a number of high profile managers in charge of high profile clubs. Not all of them will be able to live up to expectations and the managers sack race could potentially be quite a volatile market, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Flynn Fluffs His Lines To Leave The Door Open For Ian To Rush In

October 15, 2010 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Brian Flynn, Chris Coleman, Dean Saunders, Euro 2012, Fb, First Game, Football Odds, Gary Speed, Interim Employment, International Football, Jackett, Joe Crilly, John Hartson, Northern Ireland, O Neil, Rep Of Ireland, Roy Evans, Ryan Giggs, Simon Davey, Terry Venables, William Hill

Brian Flynn took charge of Wales tonight in the first game of his interim employment and it ended in a 1-0 defeat at home to Bulgaria. This has caused bookmakers William Hill to shorten the odds of Ian Rush becoming the next Wales manager from Evens to 5/6. Brian Flynn is now 11/8 having been 6/5 before Fridays game.

Friday was Brian Flynns big chance to show that he was the man to turn Wales fortunes around. It did not quite happen for him and it has now left the door open for Rushy to take over, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Scotland and Wales both lost 1-0 and this seriously jeopardises their chances of qualification for Euro 2012. Wales are now 25/1 to qualify and Scotland are 5/1 with William Hill. Scotlands odds of winning the competition overall have now drifted to 250/1 from 200/1 and Wales are 400/1 to win the tournament.

Ian Rush 5/6

RYAN GIGGS has been installed as 11/4 favourite by William Hill to succeed John Toshack as permanent manager of Wales. ‘Giggs would appear to be a popular choice to take over, but a lack of experience and the fact that he is still playing well may mean that the opportunity will come a little too early for him’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
