Bookies William Hill have slashed the price of Brendan Rodgers becoming the next Liverpool manager from 11/10 to 1/6 after a succession of bets of up to £1750. It has been one way traffic for Brendan Rodgers, his price has changed on three occasions and in the past gambles such as these have proved to be spot on, said Hills spokesman Rupert Adams.

Hills have also installed Raif Rangnick as a 4/1 shot for the West Brom job, following a flurry of interest today.

William Hill Next Liverpool Manager: 1/6 Brendan Rodgers, 7/2 Roberto Martinez, 14/1 Louis Van Gaal, 20/1 Jurgen Klopp, 25/1 Andre Villas-Boas, 33/1 Frank Rijkaard, 33/1 Rafael Benitez, 33/1 Claudio Ranieri, 33/1 Fabio Capello

William Hill Next West Brom Manager: 4/5 Chris Hughton, 4/1 Raif Rangnick, 4/1 Claudio Ranieri, 13/2 Ray Wilkins, 9/1 Michael Appleton, 16/1 Alan Curbishley, 16/1 Roy Keane, 16/1 Ian Holloway, 16/1 Lee Clarke, 20/1 Bar

Roy Hodgson 5/2 To See Contract Out Until 2016: Curbishley Favourite For West Brom Role!

May 8, 2012 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Alan Shearer, Bobby Zamora, Bryan Robson, Dean Kiely, Derek Mcinnes, Gary Megson, Gianfranco Zola, Glenn Hoddle, Gordon Strachan, Gus Poyet, Liverpool Player, Michael Appleton, Mick Mccarthy, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Paul Ince, Rafael Benitez, Roy Hodgson, Sam Allardyce, Tony Mowbray, West Brom

Roy Hodgson is widely expected to become England manager in the next 24 hours but William Hill are already betting on when he will leave the position. Should England have a shocker at the European Championships, he could be on his way and he is 14/1 to go this year. His contract is expected to last until after the 2016 Championships and that is the favourite to be his year of departure at 5/2.

“Despite not being everyone’s first choice, the odds suggest that England will stick with Hodgson until 2016,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hodgson favourites who could make the squad under their former boss include Bobby Zamora (2/1), Joe Cole (7/1) and Andy Johnson (4/1). Those who could miss out are his former Liverpool cohorts and Hills offer 6/1 that no Reds player starts England’s first Euros match.

West Brom will need to find a successor for Roy Hodgson and Alan Curbishley is the 3/1 early favourite to get the job, with Chris Hughton 4/1 and Michael Appleton a 6/1 shot.

William Hill Odds:

Year Hodgson goes: 14/1 2012, 11/2 2013, 11/4 2014, 5/1 2015, 5/2 2016, 7/2 2017 or later

To make the euro 2012 squad: 2/1 Bobby Zamora, 4/1 Andy Johnson, 7/1 Joe Cole, 33/1 Paul Konchesk

6/1 No Liverpool player in the starting line up v France

Next West Brom Manager: 3/1 Alan Curbishley, 4/1 Chris Hughton, 6/1 Michael Appleton, 8/1 Roberto Martinez, 10/1 Lee Clark, 10/1 Steve Bruce, 12/1 Dean Kiely, 14/1 Tony Mowbray, 14/1 Derek McInnes, 14/1 Gus Poyet, 16/1 Gianfranco Zola, 16/1 Mick McCarthy, 16/1 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, 16/1 Rafael Benitez, 20/1 Paul Lambert, 20/1 Brendan Rodgers, 20/1 Darren Ferguson, 20/1 Dave Jones, 20/1 Glenn Hoddle, 20/1 Sam Allardyce, 20/1 Walter Smith, 25/1 Gordon Strachan, 25/1 Ray Wilkins, 25/1 Dougie Freedman, 25/1 Roy Keane, 33/1 Alan Shearer, 33/1 Gary Megson, 33/1 Paul Ince, 50/1 Bryan Robson.

Hughton Heavily Backed To Be Baggies Boss

February 15, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Aidy Boothroyd, Alan Curbishley, Caretaker Manager, Derek Mcinnes, Driscoll, Fb, Glenn Hoddle, Gus Poyet, Joe Crilly, Martin Jol, Martin O Neill, Michael Appleton, Newcastle Boss, Paul Ince, Paul Lambert, Request Further Information, Roberto Di Matteo, Roy Hodgson, Sam Allardyce, Technical Director, William Hill

Chris Hughton has been heavily backed in the last two hours to succeed Roberto Di Matteo as the next permanent West Brom manager. Having been priced at 10/1 yesterday, the former Newcastle boss is the 6/4 favourite with William Hill and already results in a high four figure loss. Current caretaker manager Michael Appleton the 3/1 second favourite. Early front runner, Sam Allardyce has drifted from 6/5 to 3/1 with Martin Jol 5/1.

Any new West Brom appointment would have to work under a sporting and technical director which could explain why Allardyce has drifted, as it can be certain that he would want the final say so in any transfer dealings, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Next West Brom Manager Odds: 6/4 Chris Hughton; 3/1 Michael Appleton; 3/1 Sam Allardyce; 5/1 Martin Jol; 6/1 Derek McInnes; 8/1 Roy Hodgson; 16/1 Gus Poyet; 16/1 Alan Curbishley; 16/1 Billy Davies; 20/1 Paul Lambert; 20/1 Aidy Boothroyd; 20/1 Tony Mobray; 20/1 Martin ONeill; 20/1 Paul Ince; 20/1 Brendan Rodgers; 20/1 Sean ODriscoll; 25/1 Glenn Hoddle (others on request)
