It appears likely that Kenny Dalglish will step down as manager of Liverpool today and William Hill make in-demand Wigan boss, Roberto Martinez, the 5/2 favourite to be the next boss at Anfield. Dalglishs number two, Steve Clarke is 4/1 with Hills who also offer 5/1 Benitez, 7/1 Brendan Rodgers; 12/1 Martin ONeill, 14/1 Andre Villas Boas and 16/1 about both Mourinho and Carlos Ancelotti.
Despite his second stint in charge of Liverpool not quite being as successful as his first, he still remains a legend in Liverpool and his boots will be very big ones to fill, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
Next Liverpool Manager: 5/2 Roberto Martinez; 4/1 Steve Clarke; 5/1 Rafael Benitez; 7/1 Brendan Rodgers; 12/1 Martin ONeill; 14/1 Andre Villas-Boas; 16/1 Jose Mourinho; 16/1 Carlo Ancelotti; 20/1 Didier Deschamps; 20/1 Marcello Lippi; 20/1 Jurgen Klinsmann; 20/1 Paul Lambert; 25/1 BAR
RUDDY HELL! JOHN BACKED TO BE ON PLANE TO POLAND
John Ruddy, the Norwich City goalkeeper, has been backed in from 5/1 to 1/5 to make the England squad with Scott Carsons price going the other way from 10/11 to 2/1 and David Stockdales going from 10/11 to 4/1.
John Ruddy had a fantastic season, at some points singlehandedly keeping Norwich in matches and there has been quite a clamour in the last 24 hours to back him for a deserved England call up, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
With Scott Parker struggling with injury, William Hill have also cut his odds of not going to the Euros from 12/1 to 7/2. Paul Scholes could be the man to profit if Scott Parker does not make the squad, with Hills making him 6/4 for a sensational return to the England fold (1/2 he is not). Regardless of whether he makes the England squad, Scholes is 5/2 to start the game against France at the Euros (he is 2/7 not to).
CHAMPIONS SET TO GO OUT ROBIN & RAID ARSENAL AGAIN!
Manchester City have earmarked Robin van Persie as their number one summer target and William Hill offer 8/11 that the current Premier League Player of the Year has left Arsenal by the start of next season (Even money he is still there).
William Hill are offering 6/4 that Joey Bartons ban, stemming from his incredible lack of self control against Manchester City, is 12 or more games (1/2 it is shorter).
We were originally offering 5/6 that Joeys ban would be shorter than eight games, but that was backed off the boards and so we had to bump up the number of games to 12, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
