Would You Adam And Eve It? Blackpool Braced To Lose Star Player

December 1, 2010 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Adam And Eve, Adam Eve, Bet, Blackpool, Bloomfield Road, Bolton, Breach, Bridges, Contract Dispute, Everton, Favour, Fb, Joe Crilly, Liverpool, Odds, Premier League, Rangers, Request Further Information, Spokesman, Star Player, William Hill

Following news that the Premier League have ruled in favour of Charlie Adam over his contract dispute, William Hill have opened a book on where he will be playing after the January transfer window. He is odds-on at 2/7 to remain at Blackpool after the League announced that the breach was not sufficient for him to end his contract. However, should enough bridges have been burned between club and player, the odds suggest that Everton will be sniffing around at 7/2. Liverpool are priced at 9/1 to sign the player in January.

There is no doubting that Adam has been the stand out player for Blackpool this season and should this contract dispute have damaged relations between club and player, there will be no lack of clubs lining up to take him away from Bloomfield Road, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Blackpool are 5/6 to be relegated this season and 2000/1 to win the league.

William Hill Charlie Adam:

Charlie Adams Club After January Transfer Window: 2/7 Blackpool; 7/2 Everton; 9/1 Liverpool; 10/1 Bolton; 11/1 Rangers; 14/1 Aston Villa; 14/1 Stoke (others on request)

Things are not looking good for Avram and it appears that he may be just one game from signing up for jobseekers, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hughes Laughing Now: 2/1 City Fail To Score Once More

Sundays big game sees Mark Hughes facing his former cohorts with current team, Fulham. Hughes was sacked by Manchester City just over a year ago, with his City side leading the Premier League in draws. His Fulham team are in the exact same position this season and William Hill are offering 21/10 that Sundays match ends in a stalemate. With tempers likely to flare, Hughes is 33/1 to get sent to the stands.

City have failed to score in their last three Premiership games and Hills are offering 2/1 that they fail to do so once more at Craven Cottage. Should City score, it will most likely be Carlos Tevez who gets on the score sheet, having score seven of 15 goals. He is priced at 5/1 to score two or more goals with Hills.

Mark Hughes will be desperate to get one over on his former employers but the odds certainly do not point to a classic. The most exciting action may possibly be seen on the sidelines, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

11/8 Blackburn; 21/10 Aston Villa; 21/10 Draw

UNHAPPY XMAS FOR AVRAM- OR ANYONE ELSE?

WITH Avram Grant apparently safe in his job at West Ham at least until Christmas, William Hill have lengthened their odds about him being the next Prem boss to go from 11/8 favourite to 7/4, and Roberto Mancini is now clear favourite at 13/8, after Hills took a flurry of three figure bets for him to go; with Roy Hodgson 7/2; and Messrs Holloway, Hughton and McCarthy all 12/1 shots.
‘Avram’s somewhat grudging temporary vote of confidence may just leave time for someone else to beat him to the exit at their club’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Grant is 11/8 with Hills still to be West Ham boss on the first day of next season, 8/15 not to be.

WILLIAM HILL OFFER EVENS THAT ONE OR MORE PREMIER LEAGUE BOSSES IN THEIR JOBS TODAY WILL LEAVE THEIR CLUBS ON OR BEFORE CHRISTMAS DAY, AND 8/11 THAT NONE WILL DO SO.

Barton Odds On For Retrospective Ban…while Olly Had Better Clear His Desk

November 19, 2010 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Aston Villa, Bet, City Man, Controversy, England Cap, Fb, Football Specials, Holloway, Joe Crilly, Joey Barton, Laws Of The Game, Man City, Man Utd, Midfielder, Morten Gamst Pedersen, Odds, Premier League, Spokesman, Stranger, Team Mate, William Hill

Joey Barton is odds on to receive a three match ban for punching Morten-Gamst Pedersen in the chest. William Hill are offering 1/4 that his punishment stretches for three matches and for Joey to receive no ban is priced at 8/1. Flouting the laws of the game seemed to be the order of the day on Wednesday when Ian Holloway made ten changes to his side that faced Aston Villa. Olly has claimed that he will quit if he gets a fine and Hills reckon he may do well to start clearing his desk now with 8/13 offered that he receives a fine of some sort from the FA and 6/5 that he does not.

Joey Barton is no stranger to controversy and would it appear that the FA may decide to step in and hand the midfielder a ban, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Joey Bartons team-mate, Andy Carroll, has been the subject of much praise recently and William Hill are offering 1/2 that he earns his first England cap against France on the 17th November.

Hills have also opened a market on who will be in the top two come the end of the season and make Chelsea followed by Man Utd, the 2/1 favourite while Chelsea/Arsenal is the 3/1 second favourite.
