Macdonald Favourite Once More As Villa Saga Continues

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

After a see-saw 48 hours in the betting for who will be the next Aston Villa manager, bookmakers William Hill have now reinstated Kevin MacDonald as the favourite to take the job on a permanent basis. MacDonald is priced at 5/4 having drifted to 2/1 yesterday. Gerard Houllier has been slashed from 10/1 to 5/2 while Alan Curbishley has eased from 2/1 to 11/4. The shortlist looks certain to contain the top three in the betting.

“Thursday saw a lot of movement in the market and this prompted us to believe that a decision was imminent. All that can be surmised from yesterday’s activity is that Villa appear to have narrowed their shortlist down to three candidates,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Odds:

Next Aston Villa Manager: 5/4 Kevin MacDonald; 5/2 Gerard Houllier; 11/4 Alan Curbishley; 12/1 Sven Goran Eriksson; 20/1 Alex McLeish; 20/1 Bob Bradley; 20/1 Ronald Koeman; 20/1 David Moyes; 25/1 BAR

A massive gamble in the last 24 hours has seen Alan Curbishley become the 7/4 outright favourite at William Hill to become the new Aston Villa manager, having been 10/1 at yesterday. Gerard Houllier has also had his odds slashed from 12/1 on Monday to 9/2. Long-time favourite and current caretaker, Kevin MacDonald is the 2/1 second favourite, having been odds-on to take the job yesterday. Sven Goran Eriksson is the 7/1 fourth favourite.

“Having been seen as a relative outsider at the start of the week, Alan Curbishsley now finds himself at the top of a shortlist that the odds suggest includes just Gerard Houllier and Kevin MacDonald. The gamble we have seen over the last 24 hours seems to suggest that an announcement is imminent,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Odds

Next Aston Villa Manager: 7/4 Alan Curbishley; 2/1 Kevin MacDonald; 9/2 Gerard Houllier; 7/1 Sven Goran Eriksson; 11/1 David Moyes; 14/1 Ronald Koeman; 16/1 Alex McLeish; 20/1 BAR

YOU BET IT WILL BE BRAD NEWS FOR VILLA!

BOB Bradley has been heavily backed to become the next Aston Villa manager as American sources have tipped him to walk into the role.

OH, NO – YOU BET O’NEILL GOING – AGAIN!

WILLIAM HILL were forced to slash their odds about Martin O’Neill being the first Premier League manager of the season to leave his job from 8/1 to 8/11 after a flurry of bets on the Villa boss.
‘We have taken a string of three figure bets on the Villa boss to be the first Premier League boss to go this season – the majority of them from clients based in the Leicester area- and have now suspended the market pending any possible announcment from the club. However, we did see a very similar gamble on O’Neill to go towards the end of last season – and nothing came of it then’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Eriksson odds-on for Villa:
SVEN WILL THEY LEARN?

SVEN Goran Erikkson has been backed down to odds-on favourite to become the next Aston Villa boss with William Hill who have slashed his odds from 7/2 to 8/11 after taking a string of bets from punters wishing to bet up to £700 a time on the Swede to be appointed to yet another high profile job.
‘Although it isn’t quite clear just which piece of managerial magic achieved by Sven might encourage Villa to believe he can take them on from the Martin O’Neill era he has been backed as though he’s on the verge of signing a contract’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’Maybe it is his sensational achievements for the Ivory Coast, Mexico and Notts County which might make him irresistible to Villa, who knows, but when punters are willing to bet hundreds at odds on we can’t afford to take chances.’
NEXT VILLA BOSS…..8/11 Sven; 11/4 Bradley; 7 Jol; 8 Klinsmann; Kambert; 10 Curbishley; Southgate.

Jose Mourinho: The Special One Or A Lucky Punter!

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Jose Mourinho has been in charge of Real Madrid for nearly two months and it is almost time to discover if he is indeed the Special One. William Hill have opened a book of Real Madrid specials in anticipation of the forthcoming season. Real are 4/7 to win a major trophy next season (La Liga, Copa del Rey or Champions League) and 5/4 that they do not. Jose is 33/1 to scoop the treble. Despite Mourinho’s preference for defensive football, Real are 7/2 to score more than 100 goals this season and 5/1 to break the La Liga record for goals scored by a team (107 in 1998-9 by Real Madrid). The abject performances in ‘El Classico’ last season certainly did not endear Manuel Pelligrini to the Real faithful and Mourinho is 9/2 to win both Barcelona clashes. For no Real wins, Hills offer 5/4 and Evens that they win one. Should he fail, Hills offer 7/2 that he is out of the job before the last day of the season.

“For the first time in his career there is no hiding in Madrid for Mourinho. With the talent and funds available to him, it could be argued that Real will be expecting to win everything next season. Should he fail, it would be interesting to see if he receives more support from the board than his predecessors have,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Real Madrid specials:

To score more than 100 league goals – 7/2

To break the record for goals scored by a team (107) – 5/1

To win a major trophy next year – 4/7 Yes; 5/4 No

To do the treble (La Liga, Copa del Rey; Champions League) – 33/1

Vs. Barcelona: Number of wins – 5/4 None; 1/1 One; 9/2 Two

Mourinho to still be manager at the start of next season – 1/6 Yes; 7/2 No

Will Capello Index Cost Him The Job!

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , ,

Despite adverse publicity Hills think it unlikely that Capello will leave his role in 2010 offering 7/1 that he does and he is now favourite to go in 2012 at 8/11.

“Capello survived one of the worst set of England performances at a World Cup, so a little thing like this seems insignificant,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

Year Capello Leaves Office Of England Manager: 7/1 2010, 7/2 2011, 8/11 2012, 7/2 2013, 11/2 2014 or later
