Mark My Words – Sparky Gamble May Be Extnguished

MARK MY WORDS – HE MAY NOT GET THE JOB!

BETTING SUPPORT for Mark Hughes to become Aston Villa boss has dramatically dried up – and William Hill have lengthened his odds from 1/3 to 4/5 favourite. ‘Having been backed as though the job was about to be handed to him, support for Mark Hughes to become Villa boss tailed off dramatically during the afternoon’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
However, 7/2 second favourite Steve McLaren and 5/1 third favourite Carlo Ancelotti have both attracted support.
Hills also make Rafa Benitez 6/1, Roberto Martinez 7/1 and Martin Jol 10/1. ‘This particular market may have longer to run than many sspected’ added Sharpe.

Hughton Heavily Backed To Be Baggies Boss

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

Chris Hughton has been heavily backed in the last two hours to succeed Roberto Di Matteo as the next permanent West Brom manager. Having been priced at 10/1 yesterday, the former Newcastle boss is the 6/4 favourite with William Hill and already results in a high four figure loss. Current caretaker manager Michael Appleton the 3/1 second favourite. Early front runner, Sam Allardyce has drifted from 6/5 to 3/1 with Martin Jol 5/1.

“Any new West Brom appointment would have to work under a ‘sporting and technical director’ which could explain why Allardyce has drifted, as it can be certain that he would want the final say so in any transfer dealings,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Next West Brom Manager Odds: 6/4 Chris Hughton; 3/1 Michael Appleton; 3/1 Sam Allardyce; 5/1 Martin Jol; 6/1 Derek McInnes; 8/1 Roy Hodgson; 16/1 Gus Poyet; 16/1 Alan Curbishley; 16/1 Billy Davies; 20/1 Paul Lambert; 20/1 Aidy Boothroyd; 20/1 Tony Mobray; 20/1 Martin O’Neill; 20/1 Paul Ince; 20/1 Brendan Rodgers; 20/1 Sean O’Driscoll; 25/1 Glenn Hoddle (others on request)
