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

Hughton odds on to stay boss all next season:
NEWCASTLE 5000/1 TO WIN PREMIERSHIP

NEWCASTLE are quoted at 5000/1 by William Hill to win the Premiership title next season, following their promotion. However, Hills make them 4/9 to stay up, and 13/8 to go straight back down.
Chris Hughton is 8/11 with Hills still to be Newcastle boss on the LAST day of next season, Evens to have departed by then. ‘Hughton has done admirably to steer the club back into the top flight – but now they are back there he should beware of higher profile names sniffing around and putting themselves forward to take over’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills also offer them at 5/1 to finish in the top half of the table – 1/9 in the bottom half, and quote them at 50/1 for the FA Cup, 33/1 for the League Cup.
‘Newcastle’s return to the Premier League will certainly bring extra colour and drama to the division, but few will predict that they will be serious candidates for honours next season’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

‘The more desperate Roman Abramovich becomes to win the Champions League the more elusive it seems to look and it is difficult to envisage their current line-up being capable of fulfilling the dream’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
And Hills are also betting on which will happen first – England to win the World Cup or Chelsea winning the Champions League – making England to win the World Cup 9/4 to happen first, with Chelsea 1/3 to win the Champions League first.
HILLS NOW MAKE CHELSEA 6/4 TO WIN NOTHING THIS SEASON,7/2 TO WIN THE PREM-FA CUP DOUBLE, AND OFFER 14/1 THAT JOSE MOURINHO WILL BE THEIR NEXT MANAGER.Mourinho is 7/4 with Hills to manage in the Premier League at a ny stage of next season, 2/5 not to.

Hills also offer 9/2 Avram Grant; 11/1 Zola; 16/1 Steve Bruce; 25/1 Benitez; Dowie; Martinez; McCarthy. They offer 4/6 that no more mnagaers will go this season.
