Gareth, Gunn And Sven – Will They Stay Or Will They Go ?

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

WILL WIN, LOSE AND DRAW BOSSES STAY AT CLUBS ALL SEASON ?
THREE HIGH profile bosses had very different starts to the season. Gareth Southgate’s Middlesbro draw with Sheffield United and fans appeared less than impressed; Norwich’s Bryan Gunn oversaw a humiliating 1-7 defeat to local rivals Colchester; while Sven Goran Erikkson saw Notts County start off with a 5-0 drubbing of Bradford.
William Hill now make Southgate 5/6 to survive, 5/6 to leave by last day season; Gunn 4/9 to go, 13/8 to survive; Sven 6/4 to leave, 1/2 to stay.
‘These three managers are all under pressure for very different reasons but their futures are fascinatingly poised. Southgate seems finally to have used up his goodwill with supporters; Norwich’s result will haunt them for decades and heap pressure on one of the most popular figures ever associated with the club while the more successful County are the more likely bigger clubs are to come courting Sven’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

LATEST WILLIAM HILL LEAGUE ONE ODDS….5/2 Leeds; 7/1 Charlton; 8/1 Huddersfield; 10 MK Dons; 12 Norwich; 14 Brighton; Colchester; Millwall; 16 Brentford; 25 Southampton; 33 Gillingham.

LEAGUE TWO…3/1 Notts Co; 6/1 Rotherham; 10/1 Bournemouth; 11/1 Shrewsbury; 14 Bury; Northampton; Rochdale.

WILL UNITED BEN START ENGLAND’S FIRST WORLD CUP FINALS MATCH?
WITH BEN FOSTER likely to get the nod to replace injured Edwin van der Saar in Manchester United’s goal, William Hill are offering him at 7/1 to start in goal for England when they play their first match of the 2010 World Cup finals.Team-mate Michael Owen is 6/4 with Hills to get in the World Cup squad, 1/2 not to, and both will hope to do well in the Community Shield this weekend for which Hills make Chelsea 8/11 favourites to lift the trophy with United at Even money.
Owen is 7/4 to score in 90mins play, 6/1 to open the scoring and 10/1 to net two or more.
90 minute odds: 17/10 United; 2/1 draw; 7/5 Chelsea.

WILL MICHAEL OWEN SCORE MORE GOALS THAN HE GETS WINNERS ?

HIGH PROFILE racehorse owner and Manchester United striker Michael Owen has been made a 4/7 chance by William Hill to score more goals in the Premiership than he owns winners on the racetrack for the duration of the new Premiership season. Hills make him 7/4 to have more winners than Premiership goals and 4/1 to produce an equal number of each. ‘For the purposes of this bet only horses running under the Owen Promotions Limited banner will count’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
AND HILLS HAVE ALSO INTRODUCED A ‘WHAT WILL OWEN DO FIRST DURING THE PREMIERSHIP SEASON?’ MARKET, offering 1/2 that he scores a Premiership goal first; 6/4 that he has a winner under the Owen Promotions Ltd name first and 7/1 that he receives an England squad call up first. ‘Owen has always been a thoroughbred as a footballer and he’ll be fancied to score if he makes his United Premiership debut against Birmingham in the opening match, but he’ll also be keen to get his new racing venture off to a winning start, and it could be a close run thing’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
**ABOVE BETS RUN FROM SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 2009 UNTIL FINAL DAY OF PREM SEASON.
