PEARCE 5/1 TO GET ENGLAND CALL AFTER CAPELLO

DESPITE saying that he currently lacks the necessary experience to become England manager, William Hill quote him as 5/1 fourth favourite to get the job when Fabio Capello steps down. ‘If the FA decide to opt for an Englishman, Pearce has to be a serious contender ,and he would be a popular choice’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
But Hills make Harry Redknapp 2/1 favourite to succeed Fabio and also offer 9/2 Roy Hodgson and Martin O’Neill; 5/1 Pearce; 10/1 Steve Bruce; 12/1 Sam Allardyce; 14/1 Jose Mourinho; Alan Shearer.16/1 Guus Hiddink; Ian Holloway; 25/1 Steve McClaren.

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

UNITED JOY FOR JOSE? YOU BET IT COULD HAPPEN……..

WILLIAM HILL make Jose Mourinho 3/1 favourite to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson as Manchester United manager as reports suggest that the former Chelsea boss is still interested in eventually taking over at Old Trafford.
But Hills believe Mourinho may not have to wait too long to realise his ambition – as they make 2011 11/10 favourite to be the year in which Sir Alex quits United. ‘Mourinho and Manchester United could be a marriage made in Heaven, or a recipe for disaster – it will be fun finding out which if it does happen’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WHEN WILL SIR ALEX FERGUSON CEASE TO BE MAN U BOSS?…..11/10 2011…..9/4 2012;…3/1 2010……8/1 2013+

WHO WILL BE NEXT PERMANENT MAN U MANAGER?…..3/1 Mourinho; 9/2 Moyes; 8/1 O’Neill; 12 Guardiola; 16/1 Capello; Queiroz; 20 Bruce; Cantona; Hiddink; Hughes.

Will Capello Dare Drop Rooney Next Time Out? You Bet!

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

Capello 10/3 to drop Rooney for next game:

FABIO ODDS ON TO STICK AROUND UNTIL 2012
WILLIAM HILL now make 2012 their 8/11 favourite to be the year in which Fabio Capello ceases to be England manager. ‘Fabio has somehow defied the odds and his critics to retain his job, but he still faces the small matter of Euro 2012 qualification which, on paper, should be straightforward’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘We expect him to blood some new players in the August friendly against Hungary and have opened a book on who might start the game’
Despite Capello hitning at bringing in new faces for the Hungary friendly Hills still make Rooney, Terry, Gerrard and Lampard odds-on shots to start the match. (See prices below)

HILLS have lengthened Harry Redknapp’s odds of becoming the next England manager from 13/8 to 9/4 favourite, but slashed Roy Hodgson from 6/1 to 11/4 second favourite. ‘Who knows what Harry’s fortunes will be once the job becomes vacant, but if Hodgson impresses at Anfield he could well be in just the right place at just the right time to take over if Capello departs in 2012’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Next England Manager
Harry Redknapp…9/4
Roy Hodgson…11/4

WILLIAM HILL have cut their odds about the introduction of goalline video technology by FIFA in time for the 2014 World Cup from 3/1TO 5/2 after Sepp Blatter of FIFA said that the matter would be re-considered. ‘Mr Blatter’s remarks may have been given undue weight as he has not given the slightest encouragement to those who want to see video technology introduced and last time it was considered by FIFA it was firmly rejected.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WORLD WIDE WEBB?

WILLIAM HILL make English ref Howard Webb 2/1 favourite to win the right to handle the World Cup Final. ‘We have always reckoned he’d have a good chance of the Final – we opened up at 6/1 – and with England out his chances have only increased’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Fabio 11/10 To Be Out This Year

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

FABIO 11/10 TO BE GONE BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR

WILLIAM HILL are offering odds of 11/10 that Fabio Capello becomes a former England manager during 2010 – ‘He seems to have a fortnight to convince the FA that he is the right man for the job – but even if he does so and then loses his first Euro 2012 qualifier he could be back in trouble’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘Noone currently wants to bet on anything other than Fabio being out before the end of the year.’
HILLS NOW MAKE HARRY REDKNAPP 7/4 FAVOURITE TO BE THE NEXT PERMANENT ENGLAND MANAGER.

**HILLS OFFER 4/1 THAT THE PREMIER LEAGUE WILL INTRODUCE A WINTER BREAK BEFORE THE NEXT WORLD CUP: ‘Fabio supports the introduction of a winter break, but we can’t see it happening before the next World Cup and offer 4/1 that it will be- and 1/7 that it will not’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

**HILLS OFFER 1/3 THE NEXT MANAGER WILL BE ENGLISH, 9/4 NOT.

**WHEN WILL FABIO GO…11/10 – 2010;…6/1 2011….7/4 2012….11/1 2013…..7/1 2014…..14/1 2015+

ENGLAND TO WIN EURO 2012 – 9/1

WILLIAM HILL – NEXT PERMANENT ENGLAND MANAGER:

DAVID BECKHAM ghas been backed from 33/1 to 16/1 to become the next England manager. ‘If the FA decide to opt for a figurehead Englishman who has never managed at any level before for the England team, it appears there would be plenty of support for David Bechman amongst punters who have already availed themselves of our intial offer of 33/1’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

1/3 Next England Boss English As Bookies Save £50m

1/3 Next England boss English:
BOOKIES £50m RELIEF AS ENGLAND CRASH OUT

BOOKMAKERS have been saved from a potential £50million+ payout by England’s humiliating exit from the World Cup. And William Hill, who made Fabio 7/4 to be gone by midnight after the match, are already betting on Capello’s successor, and make Harry Redknapp 7/4 favourite. ‘We go 1/3 that the next England manager will be English’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
‘William Hill alone would have been at least £7m worse off as a result of England winning the World Cup. It was the result we feared, but it now appears that patriotic punters fell for Fabio Capello’s unfounded optimism that England would somehow produce form they had never showed at any other time and manage to win the World Cup.
‘As a result the bookmaking industry was staring down the barrel of its biggest payout ever of over £50m’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.
‘Even the disallowed goal now looks like a hollow excuse after England’s abject collapse in the second half’
HILLS ARE 5/4 THAT CAPELLO IS GONE BY THE END OF THE WORLD CUP.
HILLS OFFER 1/3 THE NEXT MANAGER WILL BE ENGLISH, 9/4 NOT.

HILLS OFFER 5/1 THAT FIFA WILL INTRODUCE GOALLINE VIDEO TECHNOLOGY FOR THE NEXT WORLD CUP.
