O’neill To Be Bruce’s Replacement? Carling Cup Specials…

Steve Bruce’s days appear numbered at Sunderland and the William Hill sack race betting remains suspended for the foreseeable future. Hills are betting on who will be next through the doors at the Stadium of Light. Martin O’Neill is the 5/4 favourite while former Liverpool boss, Rafa Benitez, is 6/1. Former Sunderland player and current Huddersfield boss, Lee Clark is third favourite at 9/1.

“Martin O’Neill is linked to almost every high profile job in English football but appears to have been biding his time until the right offer comes along,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “The odds would suggest that were Sunderland to come calling, he might make his much anticipated return to Premier League management.”

William Hill make the game between Manchester United and Crystal Palace the 11/8 favourite to be the highest scoring Carling Cup Quarter Final game with the tie between Arsenal and Manchester City the 9/4 second favourite. United are 13/8 favourites to be the top scorers during the week and 11/4 to score the fastest goal.

Next Sunderland Manager: 5/4 Martin O’Neill; 6/1 Rafa Benitez; 9/1 Lee Clark; 10/1 Mark Hughes; 14/1 Bob Bradley; 16/1 Dave Jones; 16/1 Steve McLaren; 16/1 Carlo Ancelotti; 16/1 Ole Gunnar Solksjaer; 16/1 Stuart Pearce; 20/1 Alan Curbishley; 20/1 Sean O’Driscoll; 20/1 Gareth Southgate; 25/1 David Moyes; 25/1 Glenn Hoddle; 25/1 Sven Goran-Eriksson; 33/1 Gianfranco Zola; 33/1 Peter Reid; 33/1 Roy Keane…others on request

Frank Backed To Start As England Reign Over Spain

England were priced at 7/2 with William Hill to win against the World Champions who were the first odds on team to face the Three Lions at the new Wembley. Frank Lampard scored the winner and stood in for John Terry as captain and Hills are undecided as to whether he will start England’s Euro 2012 campaign offering 5/6 he starts England’s first game and 5/6 that he does not. Darren Bent set up the winner and, in the absence of Rooney is 4/7 to start England’s first match.

Spain remain the 5/2 favourites to win the Euros next summer while England are 11/1 joint fifth favourites.

“We are not going to get too carried away and suddenly make England favourites for the Euros but a result like that could possibly tempt a few more punters to have a go at our 11/1,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Capello will be taking charge of England for the last time in Poland and the Ukraine with Harry Redknapp the favourite to take the reins after him. His odds have drifted from 8/11 to 7/4 but he is still quite away ahead of Martin O’Neill and Arsene Wenger who are the 8/1 second favourites.

To Start 1st Euro 2012 game for England:

Lampard: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no
Terry: 1/6 yes; 7/2 no
Bent: 4/7 yes; 5/4

Next England Manager: 7/4 Harry Redknapp; 8/1 Martin O’Neill; 8/1 Arsene Wenger; 14/1 Gareth Southgate; 14/1 Roy Hodgson; 16/1 Stuart Pearce; 16/1 Jose Mourinho; 20/1 BAR

Euro 2012 Winner: 5/2 Spain; 7/2 Germany; 5/1 Holland; 10/1 Italy; 11/1 England; 11/1 France; 16/1 Russia; 22/1 Portugal; 33/1 BAR

Will John Be Terry-fic Or Terry-ble Against Sweden?

John Terry sat out England’s victory against Spain and William Hill make are offering a market on what he will do first should he start versus Sweden. The 5/6 favourite is that England concede a goal while he is on the pitch while it is 12/1 he scores a goal and 40/1 he gets sent off. Having been very much the outsiders against Spain, England return to favouritism against Sweden at 4/6 with the visitors 7/2 and the draw 23/10.

“John Terry returns to the International fold after sitting out the Spain game and it will be interesting to see if he returns with a bang or a whimper,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Capello has received a fair amount of praise following his side’s battling victory and Hills now offer 8/1 that he remains as the England manager after the Euro 2012 Championships. Harry Redknapp is the 7/4 favourite to become England’s next manager with Martin O’Neill and Arsene Wenger 8/1.

What will John Terry do first vs Sweden: 5/6 Complete game; 5/2 complete the match; 9/2 be substituted; 7/1 yellow card; 12/1 score; 40/1 get sent off

Capello to remain as England manager after the Euro 2012 Championships: 8/1 yes; 1/20 no

England vs Sweden: 4/6 England; 7/2 Sweden; 23/10 draw

CHELSEA 8/1 NOT TO WIN IN NEXT THREE GAMES

WILLIAM HILL are betting on when winless-in-three Chelsea will next manage to come out on top in a match – and make them 8/1 not to do so in their next three games. ‘Chelsea currently face a mini crisis, but if they can’t win any of their next three it will become a full blown crisis’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS HAVE CUT THEIR ODDS FOR VILLAS-BOAS TO BE GONE BY 1ST GAME OF NEXT SEASON FROM 9/4 TO 7/4 – HE IS 2/5 STILL TO BE THERE.’Chelsea managers generally have a short shelf life if they don’t produce a trophy-winning season’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Chelsea are 2/7 with Hills to win none of the four major trophies this season.

When Will Chelsea Next Win?
Blackburn (Away)4/9
Liverpool (Home)7/2
Bayer Leverkusen (Away)9/1
None Of These Games………..8/1

If John Terry Starts Against Blackburn Will He Finish The Game? Yes 1/10……No 11/2

TEVEZ TO START AGAIN FOR CITY?
WILLIAM HILL offer 6/5 that Carlos Tevez will start a competitive match for Man C before the end of the January transfer window, and 6/5 that he will not. ‘Mancini seems to be hinting that there could be a reconciliation, but how that would go down with fans remains to be seen’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

TOON 33/1 TO TAKE 10+ POINTS FROM NEXT FOUR GAMES
NEWCASTLE’s stunning start to the Premier League season has seen manager Alan Pardew become a 10/1 shot to become LMA Manager of the Year with William Hill who make his striker Dember Ba 16/1 to end up top scorer in the division, and 11/4 to double his already impressive total of two Prem hat tricks before the season is out.
Newcastle now face a stern examination of their credentials as they face Everton, Man C, Man U and Chelsea in their next four matches and Hills offer 33/1 that they take 10 or more points from those games. ‘Now we will see whether Newcastle have reached these heights courtesy of the fixture list or belong their on merit. We expect them to end up between 7th and 10th – still a worthy achievement’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL TOON SPECIALS:
Newcastle to win Prem – 500/1; To finish in top 4 – 14/1; To be relegated – 33/1
Newcastle unbeaten in premier League this season? 80/1

What will Newcastle finishing position be?

Winner 500/1

Bottom 3 25/1

EDEN ON THE MOVE

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on where sought after Lille midfielder Eden Hazard will end up when he leaves the club, probably at the end of this season – and make Chelsea 9/4 favourites to snap the Belgian up. ‘Arsenal are believed to covet M Eden but not everyone at Lille would like to see him end up at the Emirates, so they are only 7/2 second favourites in our market’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make PSG 4/1 third favourites, with Real Madrid at 6/1; Inter/Man City 7/1; Bayern Munich 12/1; Liverpool 16/1.

Clark Firm Favourite For Leicester Job In Ongoing Saga

Lee Clark has been backed all the way in to 4/11 to become the next manager of Leicester City. The Huddersfield manager has been the subject of a number of three figure bets that have seen his odds in the last 48 hours tumble from 4/7. The only other contender that has been backed is Mark Hughes and his odds have been halved from 4/1 to 2/1. Nigel Pearson is 7/1 third favourite.

“Given the frequency with which Leicester change their manager, you would be forgiven for thinking that the Foxes board would have streamlined their hiring process but alas, punters are still waiting and Lee Clarke is now the firm favourite,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “It would seem that this one has a long way to go yet however.”

Next Permanent Leicester Manager: 4/11 Lee Clark; 2/1 Mark Hughes; 7/1 Nigel Pearson; 8/1 Kevin Keegan; 10/1 Roy Keane; 10/1 Gordon Strachan; 12/1 Billy Davies; 12/1 Rafael Benitez; 14/1 Martin O’Neill; 14/1 Dougie Freedman; 16/1 Neil Lennon; 20/1 BAR
