RDM STILL HOT FAV FOR CHELSEA JOB

DESPITE reports that Roberto di Matteo will not automatically be handed the Chlesea job on a permanent basis even if they win the Champions League final, Wiliam Hill still make him 4/7 favourite to get the job permanently and also offer 11/2 Guardiola; Mourinho; 10/1 Benitez; Blanc; Capello; Redknapp; 14/1 Low; Moyes. ‘RDM appears to have ever improving credentials to get the job but recent history suggests he may well not do so’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

STALE STORY AT WOLVES?

Norwegian Stale Solbakken is the surprise 5/6 favourite to be handed the Wolves’ managerial job on a permanent basis with William Hill who also offer 6/1 Bruce; Ferguson; Poyet; Reid; Strachan; 7 Clark; 8 Connor; Freedman; Megson. Others on request.

TWO HORSE RACE FOR ROY’S ROLE

WILLIAM HILL believe either Even money favourite Claudio Ranieri or 5/4 second favourite Chris Hughton will land the job of permanent replacement for new England boss Roy Hodgson at WBA. Hills also offer 6/1 Appleton; 8 Mowbray; Poyet; 16 Curbishley. ‘The money is all for the front two in the market and it is difficult to see past them at the moment’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

AFTER A NATIONWIDE gamble from 6/1 down to 4/5 favourite, Mark Hughes is now odds-on with William Hill to be the next Premiership manager to leave his club. ‘Hughes was the subject of sustained support to be the next boss out yesterday causing us to suspend the market temporarily. We have gone back out with it but punters still want to back Sparky to go next even though there are several other bosses whose positions look more rocky than his’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hi also offer 5/1 Brown; Megson; 9/1 Zola; 10/1 Benitez; 14/1 Grant; 20/1 Martinez; McCarthy; Allardyce; No more to go.

SO, WHEN IS FIRST PREM BOSS GOING TO GET CHOP?

WITH NO Premiership manager yet leaving his club this season, William Hill are betting on when the first one will go, and reckon it will probably happen in October, the month they have made 2/1 favourite. ‘Every manager knows that a few poor results can result in pressure from fans, and there are a few sides who haven’t made the best of starts to the season but as yet noone has paid the ultimate price – surely that situation can’t last for much longer in those impatient times’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

BIG FOUR TO BATTER BOOKIES AGAIN?
WILLIAM HILL are offering 39/10 about Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United all winning this weekend. ‘We’re tempting fate by taking on the Big 4 – but as all bar Chelsea have proved vulnerable already this campaign we’re hopeful that they won’t all win’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILL IPSWICH FANS STAY KEANE ON ROY?
WITH IPSWICH struggling without a win in the Championship relegation zone, William Hill are offering odds of 5/6 that Roy Keane will cease to be their manager before the end of the season, and 5/6 that he is still in place on the final day of the campaign. ‘Keane was greeted like a conquering hero when he arrived at the club but there are reports of the side being booed off in recent matches and without a win to show for their efforts so far Roy needs a rapid turnaround in form if he is to avoid an ignominious early exit. As our odds suggest we believe that it could go either way for him’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills have cut Ipswich to 8/1 to be relegated from 40/1 at the start of the season. ‘Everyone is assuming that they are too good and have too much money to go down. But the fate of Leeds, Norwich and Southampton suggests that that’s not certain to be the case’ said Sharpe.

Punters Betting On Pompey’s Broken Hart

PUNTERS BET ON BROKEN HART

Portsmouth’s Paul Hart has been the heaviest backed manager in William Hill’s ‘first Premiership boss to go’ market. Hart is now 4/1 favourite, having been backed down from 6/1, with Phil Brown and Alex McLeish the 9/2 joint second favourites, and Mark Hughes 6/1 fourth favourite. ‘Pompey’s financial woes and their lacklustre form at the end of the last campaign undoubtedly explain the gamble on Hart, but if their takeover goes through shortly and they are able to bring players in, their situation could change rapidly’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS: FIRST PREM BOSS TO GO…4/1 Hart; 9/2 Brown; McLeish; 6/1 Hughes;16 Martinez;McCarthy; Megson; 20 Benitez; Hodgson; Pulis; Zola; 25 Ancelotti; Allardyce; Bruce; 28 Wenger; 33 Coyle; O’Neill; Redknapp; 40 Moyes; Ferguson.

DEFOE TO START AGAINST CROATIA?

AFTER HIS two goal performance against Holland, Jermain Defoe is a 9/4 chance with William Hill to start (1/3 not to) England’s next World Cup qualifying match against Croatia – and the same price to be in the starting line up when England kick off their World Cup finals campaign.
Hills make David Beckham an Even money chance to be in England’s starting line up in their opening World Cup finals game, 8/11 not to. Gareth Barry is 5/6 to start, 5/6 not to.

GINOLA GEORDIE BOSS?

DAVID GINOLA is 25/1 to be Newcastle boss on January 1, 2010 with William Hill, who make Alan Shearer 2/1 joint favourite, and also offer 2/1 Chris Hughton, 7/2 Colin Calderwood, 8/1 Kevin Keegan, 10/1 Joe Kinnear, 16/1 Alan Curbishley, 16/1 Aidy Boothroyd, 25/1 Lee Clark, 25/1 Steve Bruce, 25/1 Glenn Hoddle. ‘Ginola appears to have indicated that he’d quite like to be Newcastle boss, and as an ex-player he’d probably be more popular with the fans than most. After all, he doesn’t have much less managerial experience than Alan Shearer’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
BURN-ING MONEY?
WILLIAM HILL have taken a bet of £300 on Burnley winning the Premiership at odds of 2500/1 – in a Hampstead, London betting shop. ‘It is fair to say that this was the most unexpected bet we have taken on the title race, and we have cut their odds to, er, 2000/1’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘But it wasn’t such a shock to take a £10,000 bet on Manchester City, in the form of a £5000 each-way wager. Burnley and City are our worst potential outcomes in the title race but it is fair to say we are taking one of them more seriously than the other!’
LATEST WILLIAM HILL PREMIERSHIP TITLE ODDS: 15/8 Chelsea; 23/10 Man U; 4 Liverpool; 9 Arsenal; 11 Man City; 2000 Burnley.
