William Hill have slashed the odds of Martin ONeill becoming the next manager of Leicester following a Liverpool punter backing him to get the gig to the tune of £2500. ONeill is far and away the most likely candidate to get the job with Hills making him 1/4 from 2/5. His next closest rival in the betting is Mark Hughes at 3/1.

Almost all of the early money has been for ONeill to return to his spiritual home and this bet has been the culmination of a 24 hour mega gamble, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Leicester Next Boss: 1/4 Martin ONeill; 3/1 Mark Hughes; 8/1 Lee Clark; 9/1 Rafael Benitez; 10/1 Billy Davies; 20/1 Roy Keane; 20/1 Simon Grayson; 20/1 Mark Robins; 20/1 Ole Gunnar Solksjaer; 20/1 Ian Holloway; 20/1 Dave Jones; 20/1 Alan Shearer; 20/1 Avram Grant; 20/1 Gianfranco Zola; 20/1 Carlo Ancelotti; 20/1 Alan Curbishley; 20/1 Didier Deschamps; 20/1 Nigel Worthington; 25/1 BAR

Sven Goran Eriksson is currently looking for a job following his release from Leicester and William Hill are offering 2/1 that he manages any International side, while he is 6/1 to make a return to the Premier League. Sven arguably had most success in Italy and he is 6/1 to return. Having seen the relative success of Nancy DelOlio on Strictly Come Dancing, Hills offer 20/1 that he takes part in Strictly 2012.

There will be no lack of interest from sides all around the world hoping to secure Svens services although he may decide to have a change of scenery in his next endeavours, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Martin ONeill is the 2/5 favourite to replace Sven at the Walkers although there has been a fair amount of support for Rafael Benitez who has been backed in from 25/1 to 9/1.

With four Carling Cup matches taking place on Wednesday, Hills make Manchester City 15/8 to follow up their thrashing of United by being the highest scoring team.

PUNTERS KEANE TO BACK ROY FOR FOREST

William Hill have suspended their market for who will be the next Nottingham Forest manager after taking a bet of £5000 on Roy Keane at odds of 2/1, shortening him to Even money but continuing to be asked for hefty wagers at that price.

There have been a number of well backed contenders to succeed Steve McClaren such as Karl Robinson, Billy Davies and Alan Shearer but after seeing a string of bets of up to £5000 for Roy Keane with little support for anybody else, we have decided to suspend the market in case an appointment is imminent, said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.

MANAGER-less Nottingham Forest could move for MK Dons boss Karl Robinson to succeed Steve McClaren, believe bookmakers William Hill who have installed the young manager as 15/8 favourite to become the next Forest supremo. Robinson is a very young manager who has made a positive impression in his time at MK Dons and punters believe he is a leading candidate to move on to Forest even though he is still comparatively inexperienced said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe, However, this is still an evolving market with no substantial bets yet being staked so it appears likely that the club has yet to identify its favoured contenders

In Russia, mega-rich club side, Anzhi Makhachkala have dispensed of their manager and with a veritable whos who of world football being looked at by the cub, William Hill make current captain, Roberto Carlos the 2/1 favourite to get the job on a permanent basis.

Will Big Sam Be The Big Man For England?

Sam Allardyce believes that he has what it takes to be the next England manager and claims that his stake would be strengthened should he get West Ham promoted this season. Allardyce is currently a 20/1 shot with William Hill to get the job after Fabio Capello leaves his post. Harry Redknapp is currently the 8/11 favourite with Martin ONeill 8/1 second favourite.

Big Sam has always been around the fringes whenever there has been discourse about the England managers job and he clearly thinks that he could still do the job, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Redknapp Odds Slashed For England Job…but Will He Be Before Or After Euros?

With astonishing claims suggesting that the FA are drawing up plans to oust Fabio Capello before the Euro Championships and replace him with Harry Redknapp, Hills have slashed the odds on the Spurs boss being the man to replace the Italian when he does eventually step down. He is 8/11 to be the next England boss, with Martin ONeill his closest contender at 8/1 for the job.

The reports on Sunday morning were pretty sensational and it would appear that when Capello does go, whether before or after the Euros, Harry Redknapp has been earmarked as the successor, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Wayne Rooney bagged his second hat-trick of the season on Saturday and William Hill offer 5/4 that those are his only two. He is 9/4 to get one more this season and 3/1 to get two more. He is 6/1 to net five or more trebles this season.

Next England Manager: 8/11 Harry Redknapp; 8/1 Martin ONeill; 11/1 Roy Hodgson; 12/1 Gareth Southgate; 16/1 Stuart Pearce; 16/1 Steve Bruce; 16/1 Jose Mourinho; 20/1 BAR

Who be will be England Manager at Euro 2012: 1/3 Capello; 9/4 Redknapp

How many hat-tricks will Wayne Rooney score this season (currently on 2): 5/4 two; 9/4 three; 3/1 four; 6/1 five or more

With the World Cup 2014 qualifying draw due to take place on Saturday, William Hill are offering 15/2 that England get drawn against former winners, France. 5/2 is offered for the hosts of the tournament, Brazil, go on to win it.

Republic of Ireland are 200/1, while Scotland are 300/1. Wales and Northern Ireland are both offered at 1000/1 to win the World Cup.

Ancelotti 16/1 to be next England boss,but:
ENGLAND WORLD CUP ODDS ON THE DRIFT

WILLIAM HILL have lengthened Englands 2014 World Cup odds from 12/1 to 16/1 following their disappointing display against Switzerland. They have also lengthened France from 20/1 to 28/1 following the announcement of the seedings for the forthcoming World Cup draw, and shortened favourites Brazil from 7/2 to 5/2, with second favourites Spain out to 5/1 from 9/2.
We have decided that on current form, under the current manager England do not warrant being any shorter than 16/1 and that as we have no idea who the boss will be when 2014 gets underway we should be looking to lay them now said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.
WITH CARLO ANCELOTTI taking a year out but reportedly saying he wants to remain in management in England, Hills have introduced him into the Next England manager market at 16/1. If it is decided to opt for another foreign boss Ancelotti would surely be a contender after all, he speaks better English than Capello said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.
