SO, IF O’NEILL ISN’T GOING TO WEST HAM, WHERE WILL HE REAPPEAR?

WITH Martin O’Neill’s rumoured return to management at West Ham now apparently ruled out, William Hill have opened a book on whether he will be back in management before the first day of the next Premier League season – and if so, where? Hills make Liverpool 5/1 to be his next port of call within that timeframe.
‘O’Neill is too big a managerial talent and too active a man to want to remain in exile for an extended period of time, so he seems almost certain to return to management – but when and where will that be?’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

United 100/1 To Stay Unbeaten And N O T Win Title

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



UNITED 11/1 TO STAY UNBEATEN ALL SEASON

WILLIAM HILL now make Manchester United 11/1 to stay unbeaten in the Premier League all season – and also make them 5/6 favourites to win the title and also offer 3/1 Arsenal; 6/1 Man City; 13/2 Chelsea; 25/1 Liverpool.
HILLS OFFER 100/1 UNITED WILL REMAIN UNDEFEATED – BUT NOT WIN THE TITLE.

AVRAM GRANT 11/2 STILL TO BE HAMMER’S BOSS ON LAST DAY OF SEASON

WILLIAM HILL make Avram Grant an 11/2 chance still to be West Ham boss on the final day of this season – but offer 1/10 that he will have left the club by then. ‘If Avram can survive the current crisis surely he’ll be safe for the season, he’s been favourite on five different occasions to be the next boss to go, yet he has hung on grimly and could just do so again’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

KING KENNY 22/1 NOT TO GET A WIN FOR ANOTHER FIVE GAMES AT LEAST

KENNY DALGLISH has yet to lead Liverpool to victory and William Hill have opened a book on when that will finally happen – and make Liverpool Even money shots to win their next game against Fulham, and 22/1 NOT to win any of their next five.
Despite Liverpool having yet to win under Dalglish, he is 5/4 favourite to get the Liverpool job on a permanent basis with William Hill who also offer 9/2 Rijkaard; 11/2 Coyle; 7 Rangnick; 8 Villas-Boas; 10/1 Martin O’Neill. ‘Kenny has drifted from odds-on to odds-against and if Liverpool don;t start winning soon he may become an outsider in the betting to be next permanent boss’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

LIVERPOOL ARE 4/5 WITH HILLS TO FINISH HIGHER THAN EVERTON, WHO ARE 10/11 TO DO VICE VERSA.

HARRY REDKNAPP BACKED TO BE NEXT PREM BOSS OUT

WILLIAM HILL have cut their odds about Harry Redknapp being the next Premier League manager to leave his job from 66/1 to 25/1 after a rush of bets from punters believing that if Fabio Capello decides to jump ship from England to Inter, the Spurs’ boss could be in line for the England managerial job. ‘We have seen a number of admittedly modest bets for Harry to be the next boss out, but that would only be a logical bet in the event that Fabio Capello was going to leave his England role – and we offer 8/1 that that happens before the end of the year’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Meanwhile, Hills have also trimmed Harry from 2/1 to 6/4 favourite to be the next permanent England manager and also offer 9/2 Martin O’Neill; 5/1 Stuart Pearce; 11/2 Roy Hodgson; 10/1 Steve Bruce; 12/1 Sam Allardyce. Others on request.

NEXT PREM BOSS TO GO……8/15 Grant; 2/1 Mancini; 9/2 Hodgson; 9 McCarthy; 9 Ancelotti; 25 Redknapp. Others on request.

CAPELLO TO LEAVE ENGLAND JOB BEFORE END OF YEAR….8/1 YES; 1/20 NO

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

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.

William Hill’s market for the next Newcastle market has only been open for an hour and a half and Hill’s have already taken nearly £10,000 on Alan Pardew. He opened at 7/2 but has been backed in to 4/6. Martin O’Neill is the 7/2 second favourite with Alan Curbishley at 8/1.

“So far the only potential candidate we can lay is Pards and it would not surprise us in the slightest if he were to get the job,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Chelsea are 5/4 to win no trophies this season, although the Blues are 11/10 to win this year’s Premier League.

Guus Hiddink is the 6/4 favourite to be the next permanent Chelsea manager, ahead of 13/2 Didier Deschamps and 8/1 Frank Rijkaard. Fan’s favourite Jose Mourinho is 10/1.
