Arsenal have claimed that there have been a number of bids tabled for want away striker, Robin van Persie and William Hill make Manchester City their 4/6 favourites to sign the Dutchman. Juventus are also a preferred option of van Persie’s and they are 5/2 to sign him with Manchester United 5/1. Van Persie is 5/2, however, to still be at Arsenal on the first day of the 2012/13 season.

“Arsenal appear to have given up hope of van Persie signing a new contract and now the option would be to sit back and see who makes the best bid, which looks likely to be moneybags Manchester City,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

A third Italy 2006 World Cup winner has been linked with the club, Iaquinta, currently still at Juventus and he is 5/2 to sign permanently. Watford are 25/1 to win the Championship0.

Spain And Croatia Say No-no To Two-two

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

After topping Group C, William Hill make Spain the 2/1 favourites to win the Euros for the second time in a row, while Italy, who finished second in the group, are 10/1. The 2-2 draw that was tentatively predicted pre match never materialised and Spain can now look forward to a potential match up with England in the quarter finals. England look likely to finish in second in group D, with Hills offering 11/10 that they do so and 2/1 that they win it.

“There were some who thought that Spain and Croatia would play out a 2-2 draw to ensure they both qualified, so much so that we were forced to offer that result at 4/1, although, by the time kick off arrived, we were out to 8/1 about it and I think our punters realised that there was no reason to believe that the match would be played in anything but the right spirit,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “And right they were.”

Giovanni Trapattoni has only just signed a new contract as Ireland manager, but his reign could come to an end after the country’s poor showing at Euro 2012 and William Hill make Mick McCarthy the 5/1 favourite to become the next boss, with new Norwich manager, Chris Hughton, 9/1 second favourite.

Euro 2012 Outright: 2/1 Spain; 9/4 Germany; 13/2 Portugal; 7/1 France; 10/1 Italy; 12/1 England; 33/1 Czech Republic; 50/1 Greece; 100/1 Ukraine

Next Republic of Ireland manager: 5/1 Mick McCarthy; 9/1 Chris Hughton; 10/1 Marco Tardelli; 10/1 David O’Leary; 12/1 Brian McDerott; 16/1 Martin O’Neill; 20/1 Liam Brady; 20/1 Pat Fenlon; 20/1 Johnny Giles; 20/1 Noel King; 25/1 BAR

Redknapp Stays At Spurs For Now But Moyes Waiting In The Wings

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

The twittersphere was awash with rumours of Harry Redknapp quitting Spurs – rumours that were quickly silenced by the man himself, but what if they were true? William Hill have made David Moyes the 5/4 favourite to become the next permanent Spurs boss with Roberto Martinez 4/1 second favourite. Harry is 4/1 for his next job to be an international one, although on the back of reported rumours last summer of interest from the Middle East, Al Ahly are 6/1 to be his next destination.

“Redknapp moved quickly to quash the rumours that he was on his way but there are still talks ongoing about his new contract and should he leave the club any time soon, it looks like Moyes is the frontrunner to replace him,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Harry Redknapp’s Next Club?
International team 4/1
Al-Ahly 6/1
Chelsea 6/1
Everton 7/1
Swansea 8/1
Man Utd 10/1
Newcastle 10/1
Arsenal 14/1
Liverpool 16/1
Man City 16/1

Next Spurs Boss
David Moyes 5/4
Roberto Martinez 4/1
Jurgen Klinsman 10/1
Andre Villas-Boas 12/1
Rafa Benitez 14/1
Fabio Capello 16/1
Gus Poyet 16/1
Alan Pardew 20/1
Marco Van Basten 20/1
Alan Curbishley 33/1

Drogba’s Gain Means More Torres Pain…11/2 Torres Not To Net In 2011

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

Didier Drogba’s future may hang in the balance with his contract running out at the end of the season but his recent good form has seen William Hill make him 5/6 to still be at Chelsea on the first day of next season. He is currently keeping £50 million man, Fernando Torres, out of the team and while Drogba is 4/9 to start Chelsea’s next game, Torres is odds-on, at 4/6 to be sat on the bench.

“If Drogba continues his current vein of form, Torres could find it very difficult to get back in the team and Villas Boas could find it hard to turn down Drogba’s request for a new contract,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

If Torres’ output does not improve considerably, there is a chance that he could be on his way and Hills offer 9/4 that he is not at Chelsea come the start of next season. He is 11/2 to fail to score again in 2011 and 16/1 to never score a Premier League goal for Chelsea. Another player who has found himself on the fringes of the team at present is Frank Lampard and despite having 18 months to go on his contract, he is 6/5 to be elsewhere come the start of the 2012/13 season.

The pressure seems to have lifted off AVB’s shoulders after two good results and he is 4/6 to still be at Chelsea next season.

To start vs Wigan:

Drogba: 4/9 yes; 13/8 no

Torres: 11/10 yes; 4/6 no

Fernando Torres’ next Premier League goal: 1/1 Wigan (A); 7/2 Tottenham (A); 4/1 Fulham (H); 8/1 Aston Villa (H); 11/2 Fail to score again in 2011

16/1 Torres to never score for Chelsea in the Premier League again

To be at Chelsea on first day of next season:

5/6 Drogba (5/6 no)
1/5 Terry (10/3 no)
8/13 Lampard (6/5 no)
1/3 Torres (9/4 no)

4/6 Andre Villas Boas (11/10 no)
