Redknapp Stays At Spurs For Now But Moyes Waiting In The Wings

The twittersphere was awash with rumours of Harry Redknapp quitting Spurs rumours that were quickly silenced by the man himself, but what if they were true? William Hill have made David Moyes the 5/4 favourite to become the next permanent Spurs boss with Roberto Martinez 4/1 second favourite. Harry is 4/1 for his next job to be an international one, although on the back of reported rumours last summer of interest from the Middle East, Al Ahly are 6/1 to be his next destination.

Redknapp moved quickly to quash the rumours that he was on his way but there are still talks ongoing about his new contract and should he leave the club any time soon, it looks like Moyes is the frontrunner to replace him, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

8/13 For London To Come Out On Top In Fa Cup…1/6 To Do So In Champions League

April 4, 2012 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Ac Milan, Bert Van Marwijk, David Moyes, Didier Deschamps, Fa Cup Semi Finals, Frank Rijkaard, Gus Poyet, Guus Hiddink, Harry Redknapp, Joachim Low, Jose Mourinho, Laurent Blanc, Luciano Spalletti, Marco Van Basten, Martin O Neill, Paul Lambert, Pep Guardiola, Rafael Benitez, Real Madrid, Roberto Di Matteo

Tottenham booked their place in the FA Cup semi finals and William Hill make them 5/6 qualify at the expense of Chelsea (who are the same price) and 9/4 joint favourites of three (with Chelsea and Liverpool) to lift the trophy. The other semi final is an all Merseyside affair and Hills make Everton 6/4 to qualify for the final (Liverpool 1/2) and 7/2 outsiders to lift the trophy. It is 6/5 for a Merseyside team to lift the trophy and 8/13 for a London side to do so.

With Sunderland and Bolton bowing out tonight, the FA Cup has become a tale of two cities and the odds suggest that London will come out on top, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

In the Champions League, Chelsea won in Portugal against Benfica and William Hill are offering 1/6 that they now progress to the next round of the tournament. They are 8/1 to win the Champions League although Barcelona and Real Madrid remain some way ahead in the betting at 5/4 and 15/8 respectively. Roberto Di Matteos team selection was somewhat derided before kickoff but did the job and Hills make him 11/4 to become the next permanent Blues boss.

Champions League Outright: 5/4 Barcelona; 15/8 Real Madrid; 6/1 Bayern Munich; 8/1 Chelsea; 14/1 AC Milan; 66/1 Marseille; 80/1 Benfica; 1000/1 APOEL

Goal Line Technology Imminent – You Can Bet On That

November 30, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments 5 January, Alex Mcleish, David Moyes, Ferando Torres, First Premier, Frank Rijkaard, Goal Line, Graham Sharpe, Guus Hiddink, Jose Mourinho, Line Technology, Marco Van Basten, Mark Hughes, Mick Mccarthy, Pep Guardiola, Premier League Manager, Roberto Martinez, Steve Kean, Villas Boas, William Hill

GOAL LINE TECHNOLOGY ODDS-ON BEFORE 2013

William Hill believe it is an odds-on chance that goal line technology will be used in the Premier League before the end of next year. It appears that the inevitable introduction of goal-line technology is moving ever closer said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.

William Hill: Year of the first Premier League match to use goal line technology:

by the end of 2012 4/6
2013 9/4
2014 or later 7/2

FIRST PREM BOSS TO LEAVE WILL GO IN DECEMBER BET ON IT

William Hill have opened a book on when the first Premier League boss will leave his job this season and Hills go 2/5 that it will happen in December. Several managers are under severe pressure at the moment and we fully expect that one or more wil go before the New Year said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.
For the first time, Andre Villas Boas is odds on to be out of his job as Chelsea boss by the first game of next season with William Hill, who make AVB 9/2 fourth favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave his club this season. Hills currently make Steve Kean 6/4 favourite with Steve Bruce 9/4 second favourite, Roberto Martinez 5/2 third favourite.
Hills also offer: 7/1 Owen Coyle; 8/1 Alex McLeish; 12/1 Mick McCarthy; 14/1 Harry Redknapp.
We are beginning to see money for no managers to lose their jobs this season, but are happy to leave the price at 10/1 as we cannot envisage that happening said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.

In which month will the 1st Premier League manager leave:

November 8/1
December 2/5
January 4/1
February or March 7/1
April until final day of season 20/1

YOU BET TORRES COULD BE ON WAY OUT, TOO.

WITH FERANDO TORRES left on the bench for Chelseas Champions League defeat by Leverkusen, William Hill are betting on where the troubled striker will be playing on the first day of next season:

Where Will Torres Be 1st Day of 12/13 season?
Chelsea 4/7
Man City 7/1
Malaga 10/1
Real Madrid 10/1
Atl Madrid 12/1
Man Utd 14/1
Barcelona 16/1
Tottenham 16/1
Arsenal 20/1
Liverpool 25/1

Others on request. Loan deals do not count.

UNITED 20/1 TO WIN EUROPA LEAGUE

William Hill make Manchester United 20/1 to win the Europa League this season, with Man City 7/1, and Chelsea 16/1. Some big clubs could find themselves unexpectedly in the Europa League this season and if so it will be interesting to see what sort of appetite they might have to win it said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Europa League Outright:

Man Utd 20/1
Chelsea 16/1
Man City 7/1

**If the stated teams do not take part in the Europa league 11/12, bets are losers.

William Hill…..Premier League team to go furthest in Champions League: 6/4 Man U; 2/1 Chelsea; 9/4 Arsenal; 7/1 Man C;

Hills…Number of English teams in the knockout stages of the Champions League:
1….20/1
2…..2/1
3…..8/13
4…….9/2

Villas-boas Singing The Blues As Chelsea Lose Again

November 28, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Alex Mcleish, Carlo Ancelotti, David Moyes, Frank Rijkaard, Greenside, Guus Hiddink, Harry Redknapp, Joe Crilly, Jose Mourinho, London N22, Marco Van Basten, Mark Hughes, Mick Mccarthy, Pep Guardiola, Premier League Manager, Rafael Benitez, Roberto Martinez, Steve Kean, William Hill, Williamhill

Chelseas woes continued as they lost at home and William Hill make Andre Villas Boas just 6/5 to have left his position as Chelsea boss by the first game of next season (8/13 to still be there). Villas-Boas is now 9/1 to be the first manager to leave his position.

Chelseas defensive issues were highlighted once more and they have now failed to keep a clean sheet at home since April. They are 25/1 to fail to keep a home clean sheet in the next five matches.

Chelsea found themselves in a funk like this during last season and it ultimately cost Carlo Ancelotti his job and should this poor run of form continue, then Villas-Boas could be in the same position come the start of next season, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Premier League Outright: 4/6 Manchester City; 15/8 Manchester United; 14/1 Chelsea; 25/1 Arsenal; 40/1 Tottenham; 50/1 Liverpool; 300/1 Newcastle

Next Chelsea Manager: 5/4 Guus Hiddink; 5/1 Jose Mourinho; 6/1 Marco van Basten; 8/1 Pep Guardiola; 16/1 Frank Rijkaard; 16/1 Mark Hughes; 16/1 Fabio Capello; 16/1 David Moyes; 20/1 Rafael Benitez

First Premier League manager to go: 1/1 Steve Kean; 5/2 Roberto Martinez; 10/3 Steve Bruce; 6/1 Owen Coyle; 8/1 Mick McCarthy; 9/1 Andre Villas-Boas; 12/1 Harry Redknapp; 16/1 Alex McLeish; 20/1 BAR

Andre Villas-Boas to be in charge of Chelsea on the first day of next season: 8/13 yes; 6/5 no

When will Chelsea next keep a clean sheet at home in the PL?

Wolves (26/11/11) 4/7
Man City (12/12/11) 5/1
Fulham (26/12/11) 4/1
Aston Villa (31/12/11) 9/1
Sunderland (14/01/12) 14/1
No clean sheet in these matches 25/1

MARTIN JOL has emerged as the new favourite to succeed Mark Hughes as Fulham boss, with William Hill now quoting him at 6/4, and also offering 11/4 Martin O’Neill; 7/1 Steve McClaren.

‘Managerial markets are amongst the most volatile things we price up and it would be no surprise whatsoever to see new favourites for each of these jobs within a day or two!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘All we know for sure is that someone will almost certainly find out who is going to get the jobs before we do!’

Harry Redknapp is the 1/1 favourite to be the next Chelsea boss, but it has been Marco van Basten that they have been backing today, trimmed from 4/1 to 5/2.

Harry looks very short at evens and punters are looking elsewhere for some value and taking van Basten, said Hills spokesman Rupert Adams.

Next Chelsea Manager (Hills odds): 1/1 Harry Redknapp; 5/2 Marco van Basten; 9/2 Guus Hiddink; 7/1 Pep Guardiola; 8/1 Andre Villas Boas; 12/1 Mark Hughes; 20/1 Frank Rijkaard; 25/1 Bar

You Bet Guardiola To Pep Up His Cv With Chelsea Job

The gamble on Harry Redknapp to be the next Chelsea manager has lost momentum somewhat, opening the door once again for Guus Hiddink. Redknapp is the favourite for the Chelsea gig at 6/4, but Hiddink has been backed in to 2/1 from 9/2 yesterday following an early morning gamble on the Turkey boss. Pep Guardiola has been well backed also, in from 7/1 to 5/2 since yesterday. Marco van Basten, however, has gone the other way, drifting from 5/2 second favourite to 4/1.

The real money in the last 24 hours has been for Hiddink and Guardiola. Where the latter is concerned, it appears our punters think Guardiola would like to Pep up his CV with a new challenge following all his success at Barcelona, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Next Chelsea Manager:

6/4 Harry Redknapp; 2/1 Guus Hiddink; 5/2 Pep Guardiola; 4/1 Marco van Basten; 8/1 Andre Vilas-Boas; 10/1 Jose Mourinho; 16/1 Mark Hughes; 20/1 Frank Rijkaard; 25/1 BAR

Harry Redknapp is the Even money favourite to be the next Chelsea manager in the wake of a massive overnight gamble. Having started out as a 25/1 shot, he was backed all the way in to 6/1 by yesterday afternoon. By last night he was 5/2 and the money did not stop there, with numerous three figure bets being placed as far afield as Johannesburg.

There is no smoke without fire and the weight of this gamble would suggest that a decision may be imminent, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Guus Hiddink is the 3/1 second favourite with Hills, while Marco van Basten is 4/1.

Barca are 21/20 for a 90min win with the draw 21/10.
