Ardley Surprising As Girl Power Tips Neal For Cardiff Job

Ardley a surprise, really!
GIRL-POWER BOOSTS ARDLEY CLAIMS TO CARDIFF JOB….

WILLIAM HILL have taken a string of bets from female punters in different parts of north London – all backing the club’s Youth Academy coach Neal Ardley to be appointed their next manager. Hills slashed Ardley’s odds from 40/1 to 8/1 this evening as cash came in for him, ‘This was an interesting gamble from two different angles – firstly, virtually all of the initial bets for him were placed by female customers, and, secondly, the bets were placed either in North London betting shops, or by online clients with North London addresses – an area which would seem at first glance to have little connection to Cardiff – but experience has taught us that people will often try to throw us off the scent of a gamble by placing the bets in unexpected places at unexpected times and in unexpected amounts!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’The bets were for an average of around £40, ranging from £10 to three figures’

WILLIAM HILL…NEXT CARDIFF MANAGER…1/3 Malky Mackay; 9/2 Chris Hughton; 7/1 Mark Robins; 8/1 Neal Ardley; 9/1 Roberto di Matteo.Others on request.

Wl Corks Be Popping For Shearer ?

WILL SHEARER BE POPPING CORKS TO CELEBRATE CARDIFF JOB?

A GAMBLE which began in Cork has catapulted Alan Shearer into the position of second favourite to become the next Cardiff manager with bookmakers William Hill who have slashed his odds from 10/1 to 6/4.
‘We began to see bets for Shearer on Monday night and soon noticed that almost all of them – and they were for up to 200 euros a time- were coming from the Cork area. We reduced the odds but the bets continued to come in and eventually we began to see money from other areas. The gamble has continued on Tuesday morning and we wouldn’t be surprised to see Shearer become favourite over Malky Mackay very shortly’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Mark My Words – Sparky Gamble May Be Extnguished

MARK MY WORDS – HE MAY NOT GET THE JOB!

BETTING SUPPORT for Mark Hughes to become Aston Villa boss has dramatically dried up – and William Hill have lengthened his odds from 1/3 to 4/5 favourite. ‘Having been backed as though the job was about to be handed to him, support for Mark Hughes to become Villa boss tailed off dramatically during the afternoon’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
However, 7/2 second favourite Steve McLaren and 5/1 third favourite Carlo Ancelotti have both attracted support.
Hills also make Rafa Benitez 6/1, Roberto Martinez 7/1 and Martin Jol 10/1. ‘This particular market may have longer to run than many sspected’ added Sharpe.

You Bet Blatter Looks To Splatter Bernstein

Sepp Blatter looks set to be awarded another four years in charge of FIFA and William Hill are offering 4/6 that he serves the whole of his term and FIFA get a new President in 2015. FIFA are 9/4 to get a new President in 2011. One of the most contentious decisions under Blatter was the awarding of the 2022 World Cup to Qatar. Despite the fact that the temperatures usually soar into the 40s during the summer in Qatar, Hills offer 1/5 that the 2022 World Cup Final takes place between June and August of that year.

David Berstein has been particularly scathing in his appraisal of FIFA and Blatter. Hills offer 2/7 that the FIFA chief now outlasts the FA Chairman. Blatter is 5/2 to leave his job before Bernstein.

“The FIFA / FA row looks set to rumble on, but Blatter now looks to have the upper hand once more and the odds suggest he will outlast this latest controversy,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Odds:

When will FIFA get a new President: 9/4 2011; 7/1 2012; 10/1 2013; 12/1 2014; 4/6 2015

When will 2022 World Cup Final take place: 7/1 Jan – May; 1/5 June – Aug; 5/1 Sept – Dec

Who will leave their job first: 2/7 Bernstein; 5/2 Blatter
