between 1st Jan 2012 and the end of Euro 2012 (1st July 2012) 3/1
between end of Euro 2012 (2nd July 2012) and the start of World Cup 2014 (13th July 2014) 6/1
After World Cup 2014 (14th July 2014) 11/10

Newcastle Odds On Not To Find Ground Sponsor

November 19, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Bookmakers, Cheryl Cole, Graham Sharpe, Greenside, James Park, London N22, Media Relations Director, Meerkat, Mike Ashley, Newcastle Brown, Newcastle Building Society, Sharpe Hill, St James Park, Supermarket Chain, Tesco, Tony Blair, Twiter, Uk Coal, William Hill, Williamhill

ASHLEY ODDS-ON TO FAIL TO FIND ST JAMES SPONSOR!

WITH MIKE ASHLEY SET TO SELL naming rights to Newcastle’s St James’ Park, bookmakers William Hill have opened a book on whether those rights will actually be sold, and what the ground will be known as.
Hills believe it is unlikely that a stadium name sponsor will come forward and offer 4/7 that the ground name has either NOT changed at all by the first day of next season, or is still known as the Sports Direct Arena.
‘It is one thing putting the naming rights up for grabs, another getting the right deal – and Mr Ashley could conceivably even have changed his mind and sold the club by then’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hill’s make Tesco the most likely sponsor’s name to be added to the ground name, quoting the supermarket chain at 10/1, and also offering:
O2 12/1
Northern Rock 20/1
Greggs 33/1
Newcastle Brown 33/1
NE Tourism 50/1
Newcastle Building Society 50/1

You Bet England Should Wear Poppy Shirts

November 17, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Bet, Bookies, Doubt, England Shirts, Favour, Governing Body, Graham Sharpe, Greenside, Guarantee, London N22, Media Relations Director, Poppies, Poppy Appeal, Royal British Legion, Spain, Spokesman, Twitter, William Hill, Williamhill, Wrath

YOU BET ENGLAND SHOULD WEAR POPPIES ON THEIR SHIRTS

BOOKMAKERS William Hill have opened a book on whether Englands players will wear poppies on their shirts when they take on Spain at the weekend and the bookies have pledged to donate all of their winnings from the market to the Royal British Legions Poppy Appeal.
We think it is unlikely that the FA will be permitted to wear the poppy shirts, but doubt whether they would do it regardless and risk the wrath of the governing body. However, we are very much in favour of poppies on the shirts, and will guarantee a minimum four figure donation to the Poppy Appeal, win or lose said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL..Will England wear shirts featuring a Poppy when they play Spain this weekend?….1/2 NO.6/4 YES

Is Hazard Headed For London ?

HAZARDOUS MOVE ? YOU BET EDEN HEADED FOR LONDON

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 Hills 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.

Martinez 2nd Fav To Be Next Boss Out

MARTINEZ OUT ODDS COLLAPSE

Roberto Martinez has been backed from 16/1 to 2/1 second favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave his club with William Hill who make Steve Kean 11/10 favourite with Steve Bruce at 11/4; Mick McCarthy 5/1; Owen Coyle 6/1. Given Martinez decision to stay with Wigan rather than go to Villa last season we have never felt he was under much pressure despite adverse results, but of course, it is always possible that he may decide to walk away should results not improve soon said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe, So when punters began to back him to be the next boss to go we had to act.
HILLS MAKE MARTINEZ 5/6 TO BE WIGAN BOSS ON THE FIRST DAY OF NEXT SEASON, 5/6 NOT TO.

NEW Doncaster signing El Hadji-Diouf is 2/1 with William Hill to be sent off during his three month stint at the club. (Bets run until Jan 31, 2012 and are for 1st team competitive games only)
