PUNTERS EXPECT CHELSEA TO BE DRIVEN BY VAN NEXT
MARCO VAN BASTEN is 6/4 favourite with William Hill to succeed Carlo Ancelotti as Chelsea boss. Hills make Guus Hiddink 5/2 second favourite after support from 4/1, with original favourite Villas Boas 7/2 third favourite, with Mourinho at 4/1; Redknapp 11/2; Guardiola 7/1; Rijkaard 8/1; Mark Hughes 16/1; Blanc, Capello, Clarke, Deschamps, Grant, ONeill. The market is already looking lively, suggesting there will not be an imminent appointment said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Bolton mans £80,000 Barca gamble as:
UNITED 3/1 TO BEAT BARCA IN 90 MINS
MANCHESTER UNITED are the longest odds they have been all season to win a game in 90minutes play as they prepare to take on Barcelona in the Champions League, with William Hill offering them at 3/1 to clinch victory without having to worry about extra time or a penalty shot-out. Barca are 21/20 for a 90min win with the draw 21/10.
**ONE WILLIAM HILL ONLINE CLIENT FROM BOLTON HAS STAKED FIVE BETS, TOTALLING £80,000 ON BARCA LIFTING THE TROPHY AT ODDS OF 1/2. We dont recall ever taking a larger bet on the outcome of the Champions League said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe. This chap is evidently not superstitious, as he placed three of his bets, totaling £50,000 on Friday 13th!
Hills offer 5/1 that the game, on which they anticipate in excess of £10m being gambled industry wide, does go to a penalty shoot out.
Hills offer 21/20 that both sides will score in 90m, 7/10 that they dont, and they go 4/7 that 2 or fewer goals will be scored in 90m, 13/10 three or more.
Barca are 5/1 to win both halves, United 14/1 with Hills who make Barca 17/2 to come from behind to win, United 14/1 to do likewise.
