“City were favourites for the Community Shield and they duly delivered and at the same time, sent out a warning to their rivals that they are the team to beat,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “They are our favourites to win the League as well and our punters certainly seem to agree with us with most of the pre-season money on City to do the business.”

Manchester City now have bragging rights over their title rivals and Hills think the pressure is already on Di Matteo, offering 11/10 that he is no longer Chelsea manager on the final day of the season and 14/1 that Pep Guardiola is leading the Blues at the end of the season.

Bad Boy Barton Backed For No Reprieve…

Joey Barton, today received a 12 match ban for his shenanigans at the end of last season and bookmakers William Hill are betting on what the outcome will be at the culmination of the inevitable appeal that will take place. Barton will undoubtedly feel aggrieved at the extent of his ban and Hills are offering 11/8 that the 12 matches are decreased. It is even money that the ban stays the same and 4/1 that it is increased.

“Barton gives the impression that he has turned over a new leaf,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “It seems as though the FA, however, have taken a dim view as to his antics in the last game of the season and we reckon his ban will remain as it is regardless of appeal.”

Will Joey Barton’s Ban Be…11/8 decreased, 1/1 stay same; 4/1 increased

Carlos’ Argie Jaunt Could See Tevez Out Of The Door…foxes Snare Pearson

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

Following Carlos Tevez’s unscheduled break to Argentina, William Hill offer 1/3 that he leaves Manchester City during the January transfer window, whether permanently or on loan. The favourite to sign him is Juventus with the Old Lady 11/4 to be the next club to capture Tevez’s signature. Former club, Corinthians, are 4/1 while the two Milan sides, Inter and AC are both offered at 6/1.

“There is no doubting that Carlos Tevez is a brilliant player but any club who signs him will be doing so in the knowledge that they will probably be stuck with all his baggage as well,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Roberto Mancini has claimed that Tevez can play again for Manchester City if only he apologises for his recent behaviour but Hills do not think that is likely and he is just 1/6 to start a Premier League game for City this season.

Leicester Latest

Leicester City are expected to announce the signing of Nigel Pearson as their manager later today and William Hill offer 3/1 that he gets them promoted at the first time of asking. Given Leicester City’s reputation for sacking managers, should things not improve at the King Power Stadium, Pearson could be given his marching orders and Hills offer 7/1 that he will not be manager come the final day of the season (1/16 to still be there).

Carlos Tevez Specials:
Next Permanent Club: 11/4 Juventus; 4/1 Corinthians; 6/1 AC Milan; 6/1 Inter Milan; 7/1 Real Madrid; 8/1 PSG; 10/1 Boca Juniors; 12/1 Napoli; 16/1 Chelsea; 16/1 West Ham; 20/1 Arsenal; 20/1 Barcelona

Carlos Tevez to leave Manchester City in January transfer window*: 1/3 Yes; 9/4 No
*Loan Deals count

To start another 11/12 Premier League match for Manchester City: 7/2 Yes; 1/6 No

Nigel Pearson to still be in charge of Leicester for the last game of the season: 1/16 yes; 7/1 no

Quinn Quits – You Bet Bruce Next

QUINN QUITS – WILL BRUCE BE NEXT?

WITH Niall Quinn quitting as Sunderland chairman, William Hill have halved their odds for Steve Bruce to be the next Premier League manager to leave his job, from 4/1 to 2/1 second favourite, with only Steve Kean of Blackburn rated more likely, at 4/9 favourite. ‘Niall Quinn’s departure from the post probably leaves Steve Bruce without an important boardroom ally and with results not exactly setting the division alight, the manager suddenly looks more vulnerable’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills NOW OFFER 5/6 THAT BRUCE WILL STILL BE BOSS WHEN SUNDERLAND’S LAST GAME OF THE SEASON KICKS OFF, 5/6 THAT HE WILL NOT.

William Hill…Next Prem boss to go…4/9 Kean; 2/1 Bruce; 8/1 Coyle; 12/1 Moyes; 14/1 Wenger. Others on request.

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

Paulo Sergio was today named as Jim Jeffries successor at Hearts but William Hill already have him as the 7/1 third favourite to be the next SPL boss to leave his club. He is 1/2 to still be in charge of Hearts come the final day of the season and 6/4 to have left the club by then. Hearts are 40/1 to win the SPL and 16/1 to be runners-up, although, they are even money to finish in third place.

“Paulo Sergio has walked into possibly the most volatile of positions in Scottish football and could well be looking down the barrel of the gun should his troops fail to get off to a winning start,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

How many more managers will Hearts have this season: 1/2 none, 2/1 one; 7/1 two or more

Hearts finishing position: 40/1 winner; 16/1 runner up; 1/1 third; 2/1 fourth; 6/1 fifth; 10/1 sixth; 14/1 seventh or lower

Will Paulo Sergio be in charge on last game of the season: 1/2 yes; 6/4 no

Next SPL Manager to leave: 10/11 Colin Calderwood; 4/1 Terry Butcher; 7/1 Paulo Sergio; 9/1 Derek McInnes; 9/1 Kenny Shiels; 16/1 Ally McCoist; 16/1 Danny Lennon; 25/1 Craig Brown; 25/1 Neil Lennon; 25/1 Peter Houston; 25/1 Stuart McCall; 33/1 Jim McIntyre

William Hill make Malmo the 1/2 favourites to qualify for the next round, Rangers are 6/4. Rangers are 13/10 favourites to win in 90 minutes, while Malmo are 13/8. Rangers are 6/1 to win on away goals. The Scottish side are 250/1 to win this year’s Champions League. McCoist is 10/3 to not be Rangers manager come the last day of the season and is 16/1 to be the next SPL manager to leave their job.

“McCoist is under pressure already following a couple of uninspiring performances and he will surely be feeling the heat should Rangers go out of the Champions League against Malmo,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Modric Staying But You Bet Downing Won’t

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

Aston Villa have stated that Stuart Downing is not for sale although William Hill think that he WILL have gone come the first game of next season, offering 4/6. Liverpool are the main contenders for his signature at 1/4 while Arsenal are 6/1. Luka Modric, however, does not now appear to be on the move, with his odds of leaving Spurs drifting to odds against for the first time since Chelsea lodged their interest (to 5/4). He is now 4/7 to remain at White Hart Lane by at least the first game of next season.

“Both the Spurs and Villa chairmen have come out and stated that their star men are not for sale, but the odds certainly suggest that while that may be true in the case of Modric, it is quite another story for Downing,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Sunderland have been the most active side in the transfer market so far and Hills are betting on where the Black Cats will finish. Despite the additions to their squad, they are 11/8 to finish 9th to 12th. They are 66/1 to finish in the top four and 2/1 to finish in the Europa Cup spots (fifth to eighth). Should Sunderland have a patchy start to the season, Steve Bruce could be out of a job and he is 4/1 to have left by the end of the season and 10/1 to be the first manager to leave his job.

With criticism being directed at Arsenal from all angles, William Hill make them 4/7 to finish in the top four, 5/4 not to. “Arsenal may well be odds on to finish in the top four at the moment, but these odds will drift still further if more star Gunners decamp,” added Crilly.

William Hill Odds:

Stuart Downing next permanent club: 1/4 Liverpool; 6/1 Arsenal; 10/1 Tottenham; 25/1 Sunderland

Stuart Downing to be gone before the 1st day of next season: 4/6 yes; 11/10 no

Luka Modric to be gone before the 1st day of next season: 5/4 yes; 4/7 no

Will Steve Bruce still be at Sunderland by the last game of the season: 1/7 yes; 4/1 no

Sunderland finishing position: 66/1 top four; 2/1 fifth to eight; 11/8 ninth to 12th; 9/4 13-17; 10/1 relegated

Will Arsenal finish in the top four: 4/7 yes; 5/4 no
