33/1 Fergie To See Red Against Old Enemy

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

Alex Ferguson has been charged by the FA could be forced to watch his side from the stands if he is found guilty. The fiery Scot already has a suspended ban hanging over him and bookmakers, William Hill, are offering 6/1 that he gets another ban this season (should he receive a ban pertaining to his current FA charge). He is 33/1 to see red against Liverpool and get sent to the stands.

“Liverpool have really gone backwards since Kenny Dalglish left in 1991 and Fergie will be looking to flex his muscles against his old enemy some 20 years later,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “He just has to make sure that he does not flex too hard.”

Should United win the Premier League this season, for which they are 8/13, Fergie could well call it a day, having broken Liverpool’s League record and Hills offer 11/2 that he is not in charge of The Reds at the start of the 2011/2012 season. He is 3/1 to not be in charge of United come the start of the 2012/2013 season.

William Hill Alex Ferguson Prices:

6/1 To receive another ban this season (not including the current charge he is facing)
33/1 To be sent to the stands against Liverpool

Will Ferguson be at Manchester United at the start of the 2011/12 season: 1/10 Yes; 11/2 No
Will Ferguson be at Manchester United at the start of the 2012/13 season: 2/9 Yes; 3/1 No

8/13 Manchester United win the Premier League this season

Fa Cup Flop Sees Moyes Cut For Chop

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

Everton’s defeat against Reading has left the Toffees with nothing to play for this season and has prompted a significant gamble on David Moyes to be the next manager to leave their club. He has been cut from 7/1 to 9/2 with William Hill.

“Moyes is very restricted at Everton and with nothing left to play for, he could well walk before he is pushed,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Chelsea secured a vital home win against Manchester United on Tuesday and eased the pressure on their manager, Carlo Ancelotti. He is priced at 9/2 (out from 7/2 before Utd game) with William Hill to be the next Premier League manager to leave their position. Should Ancelotti go, Hills are offering 15/8 that Guus Hiddink replaces him as the next permanent Chelsea manager while Didier Deschamps is 7/1. Frank Rijkaard and Jose Mourinho are both 8/1.

Their big money signing, Fernando Torres failed to score again, however and Hills are offering 10/1 that he fails to score in any of the next five games, although he is 4/7 to bag a goal against Blackpool on the 5th March. Chelsea are also in from 20/1 to 14/1 to win the Premier League although Manchester United are 8/13 favourites.

“Chelsea have often flattered to deceive this season, often recording a good win before falling back into poor form, but the win against United is the kind of result that could save their season and perhaps even Ancelotti’s job,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Premier League Odds:

Outright: 8/13 Manchester United; 13/8 Arsenal; 14/1 Chelsea; 40/1 Manchester City; 100/1 Tottenham

When Will Torres score for Chelsea:
4/7 Blackpool (a)
9/4 Copenhagen (h)
10/1 Manchester City (h)
11/1 Stoke (a)
16/1 Wigan (h)

6th Premier League Manager to Leave: 6/5 No manager to leave before the end of the season; 6/4 Avram Grant; 9/2 Carlo Ancelotti; 9/2 David Moyes; 7/1 Steve Kean (others on request)

Next Permanent Chelsea Manager: 15/8 Guus Hiddink; 7/1 Didier Deschamps; 8/1 Frank Rijkaard; 8/1 Jose Mourinho; 10/1 Pep Guardiola; 12/1 Martin O’Neill; 14/1 Jurgen Klinsmann; 16/1 David Moyes; 16/1 Rafael Benitez; 20/1 Fabio Capello; 20/1 Roberto Di Matteo; 20/1 Gianfranco Zola; 20/1 Gus Poyet; 20/1 Laurent Blanc; 20/1 Marcello Lippi; 20/1 Steve Clarke; 25/1 BAR

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

With the FA Cup fifth round taking place this weekend, William Hill are offering odds of 2/1 that only Premier League teams are left in the competition for the quarter finals, while odds of 4/7 suggest that League One will be the lowest league represented in the Quarter Finals. Crawley Town are the only non league side left in the competition and Hills are offering 16/1 that the Conference is represented in the next stage of the FA Cup. Hills are also betting on how many Premiership teams will make it through to the FA Cup Quarter Finals and make Six or Seven the 8/15 favourite, while 66/1 is on offer for three or less.

“With so many Premier League sides in action against lower league opposition, we can envisage there being at least one or two upsets,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “There are three League One sides in action against Premiership opposition in this year’s fifth round and the odds suggest that it is here where we will see the biggest upset.”

Following Arsenal’s victory against Barcelona in the Champion’s League, William Hill are offering 150/1 that they win all four of the competitions that they are still involved in. Despite Arsenal and Tottenham’s victories this week, the main talking point of this Champion’s League week was AC Milan’s Gennarro Gattuso’s confrontation with Spurs’ Joe Jordan at the final whistle and UEFA are said to be looking into the incident. Hills are offering 7/2 that he gets a ban of eight or more games and 9/4 that the duration of his ban is three games or fewer.

“Gattuso has taken the sheen off a fantastic week for English football, but odds of 7/2 for an eight or more match ban suggests that UEFA will throw the book at him,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Gattuso Ban: 9/4 3 matches or less; 2/1 4 or 5 matches; 2/1 6 or 7 matches; 7/2 8 matches or more

Lowest League Remaining In FA Cup: 2/1 Premier League; 11/2 Championship; 4/7 League One; 16/1 Conference

Number of Premier League Teams In FA Cup ¼ Final: 66/1 Three or less; 7/1 Four or Five; 8/15 Six or Seven; 2/1 Eight

Premier League Teams In The FA Cup Final: 100/1 None; 9/1 One; 1/25 Two

150/1 Arsenal To Win The Quadruple
