Jol-y Good For Geordie Martin

MARTIN’S JOL-Y GOOD CHANCE OF GETTING NEWCASTLE JOB….

MARTIN JOL is the new 4/5 favourite to become Newcastle manager with William Hill following his departure from Ajax. Hills make Alan Pardew 5/4 second favourite and also offer 8/1 Martin O’Nell; 10/1 Alan Curbishley; 16/1 Peter Beardsley; Joe Kinnear.
‘This is a typical pattern in the early stages of managerial markets. Punters rush from one potential contender to another every time a story breaks apparently linking certain available bosses with the job. I’ll be surprised if there aren’t several more gambles before the ultimate outcome is known’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

You Bet Rooney’s Staying ……… Hughton You Have A Problem …weekend Prem Specials

*****************************************************WILLIAM HILL WEEKEND PREMIER LEAGUE SPECIALS********************************************………………..

YOU BET ROONEY’S STAYING!

William Hill have cut their odds for Wayne Rooney to STAY at Manchester United during the January transfer window, from 7/4 to 4/6 after punters tried to place bets of up to £5000 on the troubled United striker to remain at his current club. ‘Markets like this are notoriously volatile, so when we laid several bets of up to £400 that Rooney will stay and another punter in a Liverpool branch tried to place a bet of £5000 we thought we should amend our odds’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HILLS….ROONEY TO GO IN JAN? – 4/6 TO STAY; 11/10 TO GO.

WILLIAM HILL offer 8/11 that Cesc Fabregas will still be an Arsenal player on the first day iof next season, and Even money that he will not. ‘Arsene Wenger seems optimistic that he can persuade Cesc to stay around but may struggle to do so if they win nothing again this season’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
WHO WILL QUIT UNITED NEXT?

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on who will be the next high profile player to leave Manchester United and have installed keeper Edwin Van Der Sar as 5/2 favourite, ahead of Michael Owen at 5/2, Ryan Giggs at 7/1 and Rio Ferdinand at 33/1. ‘One high profile player departing a club can often spark an exodus and United do have a number of veterans who may feel that if Rooney goes it is time for them to jump ship too’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

But Hills believe Brown is likely to be the last boss to go this season and offer 4/7 that no more will depart before the end of the campaign. ‘Brown’s departure is no great susprise given the recent combination of poor results and poor discipline.

Punters Betting On Pompey’s Broken Hart

PUNTERS BET ON BROKEN HART

Portsmouth’s Paul Hart has been the heaviest backed manager in William Hill’s ‘first Premiership boss to go’ market. Hart is now 4/1 favourite, having been backed down from 6/1, with Phil Brown and Alex McLeish the 9/2 joint second favourites, and Mark Hughes 6/1 fourth favourite. ‘Pompey’s financial woes and their lacklustre form at the end of the last campaign undoubtedly explain the gamble on Hart, but if their takeover goes through shortly and they are able to bring players in, their situation could change rapidly’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS: FIRST PREM BOSS TO GO…4/1 Hart; 9/2 Brown; McLeish; 6/1 Hughes;16 Martinez;McCarthy; Megson; 20 Benitez; Hodgson; Pulis; Zola; 25 Ancelotti; Allardyce; Bruce; 28 Wenger; 33 Coyle; O’Neill; Redknapp; 40 Moyes; Ferguson.

DEFOE TO START AGAINST CROATIA?

AFTER HIS two goal performance against Holland, Jermain Defoe is a 9/4 chance with William Hill to start (1/3 not to) England’s next World Cup qualifying match against Croatia – and the same price to be in the starting line up when England kick off their World Cup finals campaign.
Hills make David Beckham an Even money chance to be in England’s starting line up in their opening World Cup finals game, 8/11 not to. Gareth Barry is 5/6 to start, 5/6 not to.

GINOLA GEORDIE BOSS?

DAVID GINOLA is 25/1 to be Newcastle boss on January 1, 2010 with William Hill, who make Alan Shearer 2/1 joint favourite, and also offer 2/1 Chris Hughton, 7/2 Colin Calderwood, 8/1 Kevin Keegan, 10/1 Joe Kinnear, 16/1 Alan Curbishley, 16/1 Aidy Boothroyd, 25/1 Lee Clark, 25/1 Steve Bruce, 25/1 Glenn Hoddle. ‘Ginola appears to have indicated that he’d quite like to be Newcastle boss, and as an ex-player he’d probably be more popular with the fans than most. After all, he doesn’t have much less managerial experience than Alan Shearer’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
BURN-ING MONEY?
WILLIAM HILL have taken a bet of £300 on Burnley winning the Premiership at odds of 2500/1 – in a Hampstead, London betting shop. ‘It is fair to say that this was the most unexpected bet we have taken on the title race, and we have cut their odds to, er, 2000/1’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘But it wasn’t such a shock to take a £10,000 bet on Manchester City, in the form of a £5000 each-way wager. Burnley and City are our worst potential outcomes in the title race but it is fair to say we are taking one of them more seriously than the other!’
LATEST WILLIAM HILL PREMIERSHIP TITLE ODDS: 15/8 Chelsea; 23/10 Man U; 4 Liverpool; 9 Arsenal; 11 Man City; 2000 Burnley.
