WEEKEND SPECIALS
Sepp Blatter has come out and claimed that he is looking into a way of eradicating penalty shootouts from football although, William Hill are sceptical that it will happen any time soon, offering 16/1 that no games in the 2014 World Cup go into penalties.

Who Will Be The Youngest Lion To Tame The Cockerels?
John Ruddy has been forced out of the England Euros squad and 19 year-old keeper, Jack Butland has been called in to replace him. He is not the youngest person to have been called up, however, with Alex Oxlade Chamberlain the sole 18 year-old. William Hill are betting on who will be the youngest player to feature in the match against France and make the Ox the 15/8 favourite, with Danny Welbeck 9/4 and Phil Jones 11/4. Butland, who is undoubtedly going to be the third choice keeper is 50/1 to be the youngest England player to feature vs France.
Who will be the youngest player to feature for Englands first game vs France:
15/8 Chamberlain (15/8/93); 9/4 Welbeck (26/11/90); 11/4 Jones (21/2/92); 4/1 Walcott (16/3/89); 12/1 Hart (19/4/87); 25/1 Milner (4/1/86); 33/1 Young (9/7/85); 40/1 BAR
Eden Hazard has confirmed that he has narrowed his options down to three clubs, all based in England and William Hill make Manchester City the Even money favourites to sign the Belgian midfielder, with Manchester United 13/8 and Chelsea 5/2. Should he have a change of heart, he is 8/1 to join Barcelona and 12/1 to go to Real Madrid.
Latics Boss Backed For Anfield
Roberto Martinez is the 4/9 favourite to be named as the next permanent Liverpool manager as everyone else in the market drifts. Andre Villas Boas, who had been as short as Even money is the 6/1 second favourite.

Fergie To Quit ? You Bet Someone Thinks So
FERGIE TO QUIT? YOU BET SOMEONE THINKS SO ..
IN PERHAPS ONE of the most unexpected gambles of pre-season, William Hill have had to shorten their odds for Sir Alex Ferguson to be the next Premier League manager to leave his position, from 40/1 to 12/1.
We took a few bets for Fergie to be the next boss out at 40/1 , the biggest of which was just £15 from a client in Stockport, and decided to trim the odds to 25/1 but were surprised then to take several bigger bets of up to £25 from Manchester addresses. We went 16/1 and took still more, this time up to £50 bets from the Cheshire area, so he is now 12/1 seventh favourite said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe, We could just be seeing a speculative punt producing a bandwagon effect, but even Fergie will have to go eventually said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.
William Hill NEXT PREM BOSS TO GO .3/1 S Kean; 8/1 M McCarthy; 10/1 S Bruce; O Coyle; R Martinez; D Moyes; 12 R Mancini; Sir A Ferguson. 100/1 No manager to leave before end of season.Others on request.
