10,000/1 Your Prem-onition Comes True!

William Hill are taking the unprecedented step of inviting their punters to predict the finishing order of all 20 sides in the Premier League, offering odds of 10,000/1 to do so. “This is a bet that could potentially run until the final day of the season and has a high return for a minimal stake,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “All football fans have strong opinions on who will finish where and we are now offering them the chance to profit from their Prem-onitions.” The odds are the same whether you pick Manchester United or Norwich to win the League or Chelsea or Swansea to finish bottom.

Manchester United are the 6/4 favourites to lift the Premier League trophy this season, while Chelsea are 11/4. Liverpool, however have been the best backed side with over 30% of all bets on the Premier League outright being placed on Kenny Dalglish’s men, who are 10/1. At the other end of the table, the three promoted sides, are the three favourites for the drop, with Swansea 4/9, Norwich 4/7 and QPR 6/4.

Is Gary Gunning For Arsenal As Fab Heads For The Exit?

Owen Coyle has said that he has had no dialogue with Liverpool regarding the future of Gary Cahill and despite the Reds interest in the defender, William Hill make Arsenal the 1/2 favourites to win the race to sign him. Chelsea are 7/2 second favourites to be Cahill’s next club with Liverpool 6/1. Kenny Dalglish has been a very busy boy since taking over from Roy Hodgson in January and Hills 6/4 that he brings in between 3-5 more players and 11/8 he signs six or more.

Liverpool’s first game is at home to Sunderland and Hills go 6/10 that they keep a clean sheet, 8/5 they concede one, 9/2 two, 28/1 three and 80/1 four or more.

“Liverpool’s defence has been shaky to say the least this pre-season and Dalglish realises that his back line’s deficiencies need remedying before the start of the season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Saying this, however, Arsenal are the favourites to sign Cahill.”

In a potential U-Turn, Joey Barton has said he could well stay at Newcastle for the next year and Hills make him 11/2 to do so, although he is 11/2 to have departed St James’ Park by the time the summer transfer window slams shut. Everton and Stoke currently head the betting to sign Barton at 11/4, while Arsenal are offered at 4/1 with Spurs 9/2.

Cesc Fabregas took part in Arsenal’s open training session but William Hill make him 1/4 to have left the Emirates by the end of the transfer window.

How many more paid signings will Kenny Dalglish make this season: 2/1 0-2; 6/4 3-5; 11/8 6+

Gary Cahill next club: 1/2 Arsenal; 7/2 Chelsea; 6/1 Liverpool; 12/1 Tottenham; 20/1 Manchester City

Joey Barton Next Club: 11/4 Everton; 11/4 Stoke; 4/1 Arsenal; 9/2 Tottenham; 5/1 Celtic; 6/1 Aston Villa; 7/1 Man Utd; 10/1 West Ham; 12/1 Blackburn; 14/1 Bolton; 20/1 Wolves; 20/1 Fulham; 20/1 QPR; 20/1 Sunderland; 25/1 Liverpool; 25/1 Wigan; 40/1 Chelsea

Joey Barton Still at Newcastle after summer transfer window: 11/2 yes; 1/10 no

Cesc Fabregas to still be at Arsenal after the close of the summer transfer window: 1/4 no; 11/4 yes

Liverpool have also been cut slightly, from 11/1 to 10/1 to win the Premier League.

William Hill Latest Odds:

Luka Modric Next Club: 1/1 Chelsea; 5/2 Manchester United; 10/1 Manchester City; 16/1 Real Madrid; 16/1 Barcelona

Carlos Tevez Next Club: 9/4 Any South American Club; 5/2 Real Madrid; 4/1 Inter Milan; 7/1 AC Milan; 8/1 MLS Club; 10/1 English Club; 12/1 Barcelona; 20/1 Juventus

Cesc Fabregas Next Club: 1/3 Barcelona; 3/1 Real Madrid; 9/1 Manchester City

Fabregas to still be at Arsenal after the Summer transfer window: 2/7 no; 5/2 yes

England U21s Odds On To Be Packing Bags After Czech Game…hills 2011/12 Sack Race Odds

England U21s need a win against the Czech Republic if they are to progress from their group and are 23/20 with William Hill to do so. They are 6/10 to fail to win and crash out of the tournament. Whatever happens, England need to score and Daniel Sturridge, one of only a few small bright spots in England’s team, is 11/2 to open the scoring in the match, while Danny Welbeck is 13/2.

“England have so far been underwhelming in the tournament and it may be down to Daniel Sturridge or Danny Welbeck to fire them into the semi finals,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Although the odds suggest that England will be packing their bags after Sunday’s game.”

Stuart Pearce is offered at 3/1 with Hills to become the Team GB manager at next year’s Olympics.

You Bet Rovers Will Be Kean To Get Rid Of Steve Next Season

William Hill make Steve Kean the 3/1 favourite to be the first Premier League manager to leave their position. Mick McCarty is 7/1 second favourite ahead of 9/1 Steve Bruce. “Blackburn only managed to survive on the last day of the season, having been mid table at Christmas and a vast improvement will be needed if Steve Kean does not want to be the first manager out of the door next term,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

At 66/1 Kenny Dalglish, Tony Pulis and whoever takes over the Chelsea role next, appear to be the three safest managers in the league at the minute, with Roy Hodgson, Martin Jol and Sir Alex Ferguson all offered at 40/1. For no manager to leave all season is offered at 100/1.

William Hill First Premier League Manager To Leave: 3/1 Steve Kean; 7/1 Mick McCarthy; 9/1 Steve Bruce; 10/1 Owen Coyle; 10/1 Roberto Martinez; 11/1 Roberto Mancini; 12/1 David Moyes; 14/1 Harry Redknapp; 16/1 Neil Warnock; 20/1 Alan Pardew; 20/1 Brendan Rodgers; 25/1 Alex McLeish; 33/1Paul Lambert; 33/1 Arsene Wenger; 40/1 Sir Alex Ferguson; 40/1 Martin Jol; 40/1 Roy Hodgson; 66/1 Kenny Dalglish; 66/1 Next Permanent Chelsea Manager; 66/1 Tony Pulis; 100/1 No Manager to leave all season
