Falcao Slashed To Join Avb At The Bridge

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

William Hill have cut the odds of Falcao joining his former manager at Chelsea from 7/4 to 5/4. Hills also offer 6/1 that he signs two of his former players and 12/1 that he signs three or more. Hills offer 11/10 that Modric joins Chelsea from Spurs, while 2/1 is available for Eto’o to arrive from Inter Milan. Romelu Lukaku appears to be the favourite to go to the Bridge, however, with the Anderlecht youngster 4/6 to make the move.

“It appears that Andre Villas-Boas may emulate Mourinho before him by bringing over a hoard of his former players in an attempt to bring glory to the Bridge,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

To sign for Chelsea in the Summer Transfer Window:
Modric: 11/10 yes; 4/6 no
Neymar: 5/2 yes; 2/7 no
Hulk: 4/1 yes; 1/7 no
Falcao: 5/4 yes; 4/7 no
Eto’o: 2/1 yes; 4/11 no
Lukaku: 4/6 yes; 11/10 no
Moutinho: 2/1 yes; 4/11 no

How Many Porto Players Will AVB Sign For Chelsea: 8/11 none; 13/8 one; 6/1 two; 14/1 three or more

You Bet Team GB Will Show United Front…

The GB Football team argument rumbles on and Hills are offering a market on which country will have the most representatives in the squad for the Olympics. England are the 1/16 favourites followed by Wales and Scotland at 9/1. N. Ireland are offered at 16/1. All of the nations are odds on to have at least one player start the first game of the tournament.

“There are murmurings of discontent from some of the home nations associations, however, it looks as though common sense will prevail and each country will have at least one representative at the Games,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills go 4/9 about David Beckham starting the first game of the Olympics and offer 20/1 that he is the manager of the side. Stuart Pearce is the favourite to be the boss of the side however, offered at 5/2.

TO BE GB OLYMPIC FOOTBALL TEAM BOSS….5/2 Pearce; 5/1 Southgate; 7/1 O’Neill; 8/1 Noel Blake; 9/1 Brian Flynn; 10/1 Billy Stark;Steve Beaglehole; 11/1 Mark Hughes; 20/1 Sir Alex Ferguson; David Beckham. Others on request.

McLEISH 10/1 TO STAY AT VILLA UNTIL 2015

AFTER HIS FIRST PRESS CONFERENCE as Villa boss, William Hill offer 10/1 that Alex McLeish will remain in the position until 2015, but believe he will lead the club to 8th-10th position next season – which they quote at 6/4, and make them 14/1 to finish in the top four and 20/1 to go down.
**Hills make Villa 13/8 to win their opening game against 11/8 Fulham with the draw a 21/10 chance. ‘As he commented himself, it is vital for McLeish to get off to a winning start if he is to get Villa fans on his side’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

When Will McLEISH Leave Villa?

Following England’s disappointing elimination from the U21s tournament William Hill have more than doubled Stuart Pearce’s odds from 6/1 to 16/1 to succeed Fabio Capello as England boss. ‘Stuart’s side failed to win a game and couldn’t hold on to a late lead in their most vital game. Very few associated with the side have enhanced their reputations’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL- NEXT ENGLAND MANAGER- 6/4 Redknapp; 6/1 O’Neill; 8/1 Southgate; 9/1 Hodgson; 14/1 Bruce; Mourinho; 16 Allardyce; Pearce. Others on request.

Hills offer 5/1 that the game, on which they anticipate in excess of £10m being gambled industry wide, does go to a penalty shoot out.

Hugh Bet Chris In Running For Hammers

HUGH BET HAMMERS WILL CHOOSE CHRIS!

WILLIAM HILL make Chris Hughton 6/4 favourite to be appointed the next permanent West Ham manager but say no one contender is currently dominating the betting. ‘Since the opening flurry of support for Steve McLaren, which ended when he became an odds-on shot only to apparently rule himself out of the running, the market has not seen anyone really dominate – but it will happen, and sooner rather than later if the club do as they are suggesting, and appoint someone probably British, before the end of the month’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘We’ve seen solid support for Hughton while Messrs Alladryce, Warnock and McKay are attracting punters. One suspects that play-off results may also well have an influence in the ultimate outcome’.

WILLIAM HILL – NEXT PERMANENT WEST HAM MANAGER- 6/4 Hughton; 6/1 Allardyce; Warnock; 7/1 O’Neill; 8/1 Curbishley; Di Canio; Di Matteo; Keen; McKay; 10/1 Bilic; Jones; McLaren; Poyet 14 Davies; Jol; 16 Lambert; Rodgers. Others on request.

A SPECIAL CHELSEA COMEBACK? YOU BET………..

WILLIAM HILL have cut their odds for Jose Mourinho to return to Stamford Bridge as the next permanent Chelsea boss from 8/1 to 4/1 after taking a number of three figure bets on the Special One succeeding Carlo Ancelotti. ‘We saw three figure bets in those hot spots of football, Barnsley and Kent, but with a number of other, smaller wagers also being staked there is clearly speculation that Jose is not long for Real and that Carlo could be history at Chelsea by next season. Bitter experience has taught us to react quickly to unexpected beting moves in ‘Next Boss’ markets!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
