Is Martin Off On His Jol-ies To The North West Or Will Alan Curb His Enthusiasm?

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

Despite the Venky’s Group maintaining that they want to appoint an English manager to replace Sam Allardyce at Blackburn, it is Dutchman Martin Jol who heads the betting at William Hill at 4/1. He is then followed by a veritable army of British and Irish managers, with Dave Jones and Chris Hughton both 5/1 and Alan Curbishley at 6/1.

“Martin Jol performed well during his time at Tottenham and he is currently out of a job, however, should the fact that he is not British count against him, Dave Jones, Chris Hughton and Alan Curbishley are all waiting in the wings,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Next Blackburn Manager:

4/1 Martin Jol; 5/1 Dave Jones; 5/1 Chris Hughton; 6/1 Alan Curbishley; 7/1 Martin O’Neill; 7/1 Roy Keane; 15/2 Chris Coleman; 9/1 Steve McClaren; 10/1 Phil Brown; 10/1 Sven –Goran Eriksson; 12/1 Diego Maradona; 12/1 Alan Shearer; 14/1 Stuart Pearce; 16/1 David O’Leary; 16/1 Gordon Strachan; 20/1 Paul Jewell; 25/1 Iain Dowie; 25/1 Paul Lambert; 25/1 Ray Wilkins; 25/1 Simon Grayson; 25/1 Steve Clarke; 33/1 Frank Rijkaard; 40/1 Jurgen Klinsmann

Martin Jol Favourite To Succeed Big Sam !

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

JOL-Y GOOD TIMING FOR MARTIN TO ROVE TO BLACKBURN?

WILLIAM HILL report early backing for Martin Jol from 10/1 to 4/1 favourite to succeed Sam Allardyce at Blackburn, following Hill’s hammering by punters who appeared to have got early knowledge of Allardyce’s imminent departure: ‘We saw a sustained gamble on Big Sam to depart from mid afternoon at which point he was a 33/1 shot to be the next boss to go. We saw bets of up to £500 a time and the largest concentration of bets was placed by punters from and in and around the South West London area.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘Big Sam had been backed down to Evens to be the next manager to depart minutes before it was confirmed he had gone. It is too much of a coincidence for that to have been a genuinely inspired gamble – but that’s the risk you take by pricing up markets of this nature and despite a hefty five figure thumping we’re coming back for more by making Avram Grant odds-on favourite to be the NEXT to go’

‘AL’LO PARD-NER AT NEWCASTLE?

ALAN PARDEW is Even money favourite with William Hill to become the next permanent Newcastle manager with Martin Jol 2/1 second favourite ahead of Martin O’Neill at 8/1; Curbishley and Wilkins both 12/1 and Hoddle 14/1. ‘Two thirds of the bets we have taken today have been for the original favourite, Pardew, who was briefly supplanted by Jol when news of his departure from Ajax broke. We have also seen a few bets here and there for Ray Wilkins’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

33/1 HUGHTON IS THE LAST PREM BOSS TO GO THIS SEASON

WILLIAM HILL believe that Chris Hughton will not be the last Premier League manager to depart his club this season – quoting 33/1 that he will be. But Avram Grant is their 7/4 favourite to be the next departure this season and Hills also offer 5/1 McCarthy; Mancini; 6/1 Ancelotti; 10/1 Martinez; 11/1 Hodgson. ‘It would be a major surprise if there were to be no further managerial casualties this season in the Premier League – in fact, we reckon there are likely to be another four at least’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

MARTIN’S JOL-Y GOOD CHANCE OF GETTING NEWCASTLE JOB….

MARTIN JOL is the new 4/5 favourite to become Newcastle manager with William Hill following his departure from Ajax. Hills make Alan Pardew 5/4 second favourite and also offer 8/1 Martin O’Nell; 10/1 Alan Curbishley; 16/1 Peter Beardsley; Joe Kinnear.
‘This is a typical pattern in the early stages of managerial markets.

WHO WILL QUIT UNITED NEXT?

Curbs Cut For Villa Boss But Macdonald Still Favourite

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

William Hill have slashed the price of Alan Curbishley becoming the new Aston Villa manager from 10/1 to 4/1 following an overnight gamble that was sparked by a rumoured meeting with Randy Lerner. Conversely, Kevin MacDonald has been eased out from 4/6 to 5/4. Sven Goran Eriksson is the 5/1 third favourite with Gerard Houllier 10/1. The Mark Hughes gamble has ended and he is now 16/1 from a low of 3/1.

“It looks like Curbs met with Randy Lerner yesterday, so he must be on the shortlist; however the odds seem to suggest that Lerner may well stick with MacDonald,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Next Villa Manager: 5/4 Kevin MacDonald; 4/1 Alan Curbishley; 5/1 Sven Goran Eriksson; 10/1 Gerard Houllier; 11/1 David Moyes; 14/1 Ronald Koeman; 16/1 Alex McLeish; 16/1 Mark Hughes; 20/1 Paul Lambert; 20/1 Martin Jol; 20/1 Jurgen Klinsmann; 20/1 Gary Megson; 20/1 Bob Bradley; 20/1 Gareth Southgate; 20/1 Phil Brown; 25/1 BAR

In the race to be next permanent Fulham manager, William Hill have reported the quietest day since opening the book. Sven Goran Eriksson is the 5/4 favourite, with Dave Jones 3/1 and Mark Hughes at 4/1.

“It has been a very slow day indeed which would suggest that the Fulham directors have gone back to the drawing board and it speaks volumes that Sven tops the market,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.
