Pompey Return For Fa Cup Winners?

October 22, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Andy Awford, Fa Cup Winners, Football Management, Fratton Park, Golden Generation, Greenside, Guy Whittingham, Joe Crilly, Joe Jordan, Kevin Macdonald, London N22, Mark Robins, Paul Hart, Paul Merson, Sol Campbell, Steve Cotterill, Stuart Gray, Team Coach, William Hill, Williamhill

Portsmouth are manager-less following Steve Cotterills departure to Forest and William Hill make current Pompey first team coach, Stuart Gray, the 7/2 favourite to take the top job. Academy manager, Andy Awford is 5/1 with players from the golden generation, Sol Campbell and David James offered at 12/1 and 16/1 respectively.

With Portsmouth still struggling financially, the appointment may well come from within the club rather than bringing in an outsider, although players such as Campbell and James hold the club dear to their hearts following their FA Cup win and may well be tempted to take their first steps into football management at Fratton Park, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Cotterill has taken the helm at the City Ground and Hills make Forest 100/1 to win the league under the popular former Portsmouth man and 20/1 offered for promotion. Relegation may well be more likely at 11/2.

Next Portsmouth manager: 7/2 Stuart Gray; 5/1 Andy Awford; 6/1 Paul Hart; 7/1 Guy Whittingham; 8/1 Kevin MacDonald; 8/1 Mark Robins; 12/1 Sol Campbell; 14/1 Joe Jordan; 16/1 Kit Symons; 16/1 David James; 50/1 Paul Merson

Fa Cup Fifth Round: Another Year Of Premier League Dominance Or Will It Be League One-derful?

February 19, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments 3 Matches, Ac Milan, Confrontation, Dominance, English Football, Fa Cup Quarter, Fb, Football Odds, Gattuso, Joe Crilly, Joe Jordan, Premier League Teams, Premiership Teams, Quarter Finals, Sheen, Spokesman, Spurs, Three Games, Tottenham, Whistle, William Hill

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 Hills spokesman Joe Crilly. There are three League One sides in action against Premiership opposition in this years fifth round and the odds suggest that it is here where we will see the biggest upset.

Following Arsenals victory against Barcelona in the Champions League, William Hill are offering 150/1 that they win all four of the competitions that they are still involved in. Despite Arsenal and Tottenhams victories this week, the main talking point of this Champions League week was AC Milans Gennarro Gattusos 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 Hills 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

40/1 Arsenal/Spurs to contest the 2011 Champions League Final

Jeffries Gamble Underway As Burley Looks Doomed

Early ‘Killie-cash’ gamble on Jeffries as:
NO MORE BETS ON BURLEY TO GO

HAVING OFFERED 7/4 that Scotland boss George Burley would lose his job before the qualifiers for the next Euro tournament get underway, William Hill closed the book once it became obvious that he is likely to be sacked before the end of the week.
And punters have already poured cash on Kilmarnock manager Jim Jeffries succeeding Burley, forcing his odds down from an opening 20/1 to 5/1 joint favourite, along with Craig Levein and Walter Smith. Hills also offer 6/1 Gary McAllister; 7/1 Owen Coyle; 8/1 Billy Davies; 10/1 Darren Ferguson; Joe Jordan 12/1 Kenny Dalglish; Mark McGhee.
‘This is likely to be a very volatile market in the early stages, but the very fact that we are already seeing plenty of interest in Burley’s successor pretty much guarantees that he won’t be seeing the week out’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
