Villas-boas Singing The Blues As Chelsea Lose Again

Chelsea’s woes continued as they lost at home and William Hill make Andre Villas Boas just 6/5 to have left his position as Chelsea boss by the first game of next season (8/13 to still be there). Villas-Boas is now 9/1 to be the first manager to leave his position.

Chelsea’s defensive issues were highlighted once more and they have now failed to keep a clean sheet at home since April. They are 25/1 to fail to keep a home clean sheet in the next five matches.

“Chelsea found themselves in a funk like this during last season and it ultimately cost Carlo Ancelotti his job and should this poor run of form continue, then Villas-Boas could be in the same position come the start of next season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Premier League Outright: 4/6 Manchester City; 15/8 Manchester United; 14/1 Chelsea; 25/1 Arsenal; 40/1 Tottenham; 50/1 Liverpool; 300/1 Newcastle

Next Chelsea Manager: 5/4 Guus Hiddink; 5/1 Jose Mourinho; 6/1 Marco van Basten; 8/1 Pep Guardiola; 16/1 Frank Rijkaard; 16/1 Mark Hughes; 16/1 Fabio Capello; 16/1 David Moyes; 20/1 Rafael Benitez

First Premier League manager to go: 1/1 Steve Kean; 5/2 Roberto Martinez; 10/3 Steve Bruce; 6/1 Owen Coyle; 8/1 Mick McCarthy; 9/1 Andre Villas-Boas; 12/1 Harry Redknapp; 16/1 Alex McLeish; 20/1 BAR

Andre Villas-Boas to be in charge of Chelsea on the first day of next season: 8/13 yes; 6/5 no

When will Chelsea next keep a clean sheet at home in the PL?

Wolves (26/11/11) 4/7
Man City (12/12/11) 5/1
Fulham (26/12/11) 4/1
Aston Villa (31/12/11) 9/1

Martinez 2nd Fav To Be Next Boss Out

MARTINEZ OUT’ ODDS COLLAPSE

Roberto Martinez has been backed from 16/1 to 2/1 second favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave his club with William Hill who make Steve Kean 11/10 favourite with Steve Bruce at 11/4; Mick McCarthy 5/1; Owen Coyle 6/1. ‘Given Martinez’ decision to stay with Wigan rather than go to Villa last season we have never felt he was under much pressure despite adverse results, but of course, it is always possible that he may decide to walk away should results not improve soon’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘So when punters began to back him to be the next boss to go we had to act.’
HILLS MAKE MARTINEZ 5/6 TO BE WIGAN BOSS ON THE FIRST DAY OF NEXT SEASON, 5/6 NOT TO.

NEW Doncaster signing El Hadji-Diouf is 2/1 with William Hill to be sent off during his three month stint at the club. (Bets run until Jan 31, 2012 and are for 1st team competitive games only)

WILLIAM HILL make Mick McCarthy 4/1 third favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave his club after Wolves’ dramatic late fightback to earn a point against Swansea. ‘Without the late comeback Mick may well have taken over as favourite to be the next boss out’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Quinn Quits – You Bet Bruce Next

QUINN QUITS – WILL BRUCE BE NEXT?

WITH Niall Quinn quitting as Sunderland chairman, William Hill have halved their odds for Steve Bruce to be the next Premier League manager to leave his job, from 4/1 to 2/1 second favourite, with only Steve Kean of Blackburn rated more likely, at 4/9 favourite. ‘Niall Quinn’s departure from the post probably leaves Steve Bruce without an important boardroom ally and with results not exactly setting the division alight, the manager suddenly looks more vulnerable’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HILLS NOW OFFER 5/6 THAT BRUCE WILL STILL BE BOSS WHEN SUNDERLAND’S LAST GAME OF THE SEASON KICKS OFF, 5/6 THAT HE WILL NOT.

WILLIAM HILL…Next Prem boss to go…4/9 Kean; 2/1 Bruce; 8/1 Coyle; 12/1 Moyes; 14/1 Wenger. Others on request.

Could Mancini Be Robert-go By The End Of The Season?

The Carlos Tevez saga took another twist when Roberto Mancini was prevented from talking about the player at a Press Conference while reports suggested that he may not have the full backing of the squad and Hills make him 5/2 to fail to see out the season with City. He is 33/1 to be the first Premier League manager to leave his club.

The furore surrounding Carlos Tevez and his refusal to play has still not died down. Former club West Ham have enquired about the availability of the controversial striker and William Hill make the Hammers 16/1 to be Tevez’s next club. Juventus are the 11/4 favourites. Tevez is 4/9 to never start a Premier League match with Manchester City again.

“This Tevez situation appears to be a saga that will run and run and the longer it does so, the more sides that will register an interest in the want-away player,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “The latest side to do so are West Ham, but they are considered relative outsiders at the moment.”

Mancini to be at Manchester City on the last day of the season: 2/7 yes; 5/2 no

Tevez Next Club: 11/4 Juventus; 4/1 Corinthians; 6/1 AC Milan; 6/1 Inter Milan; 7/1 Real Madrid; 8/1 PSG; 10/1 Boca Juniors; 12/1 Napoli; 16/1 Chelsea; 16/1 West Ham; 20/1 Arsenal; 20/1 Barcelona…(others on request, loan deals count)

Tevez to start a Premier League game for Manchester City again: 13/8 yes; 4/9 no

Premier League Latest: Arsenal Gunning For Fifth As United Odds On To Stay Unbeaten Longest

Arsene Wenger has made no secret of the fact that his Arsenal side is struggling and William Hill reckon the Gunners will miss out on Champions League football next season. Hills have them at 8/15 to finish 5th or sixth this season while their odds of a top four finish is 9/4. They are 40/1 to win the league and 100/1 to be relegated. Arsene Wenger is 9/4 to have left Arsenal by the end of the season and 8/1 to be the first Premier League manager to leave his job.

Hills offer 13/8 that Arsenal concede over 55 goals this season and are 1/16 to end the season with no silverware.

“Arsenal’s form at the moment is nowhere near the high standards that they have set over the past few years and Nasri and Fabregas appear justified in having left the Gunners in search of silverware,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

In stark contrast to Arsenal’s shaky start, United are five for five this season and are 1000/1 to win every single game this season and 10/1 to remain undefeated all season. They are odds on for the first time this season to win the league, at 4/6 while their cross city rivals are 5/2 to do so. Hills offer 6/4 that Manchester United win the league with City in second while it is 3/1 for City 1st and Utd 2nd.

Wayne Rooney is 13/8 to win the golden boot this season, with Sergio Aguero 11/4.

After the weekend’s matches, there are now only four unbeaten sides in the Premier League and William Hill make Manchester United the 2/5 favourites of the four to remain undefeated for the greatest number of matches. City are 2/1, while Newcastle are 16/1 and Villa 25/1.

Arsenal finishing position: 40/1 winner; 9/4 top four; 8/15 5th or 6th; 6/1 7th – 10th; 10/1 11th-17th; 100/1 relegated

Last team to lose in EPL: 2/5 Man Utd; 2/1 Man City; 16/1 Newcastle; 25/1 Aston Villa

1000/1 Utd to win every match this season

10/1 Utd to remain undefeated all season

Arsenal goals conceded this season: 15/8 under 48; 6/4 49-55; 13/8 over 55

First Premier League manager to go: 4/6 Steve Kean; 9/2 Steve Bruce; 8/1 Arsene Wenger; 9/1 Alan Pardew; 10/1 Neil Warnock; 12/1 David Moyes; 12/1 Harry Redknapp; 16/1 Mick McCarthy; 20/1 BAR
