Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 2012-02-13 00:00:00
Klinsmann Back To White Hart Lane? Tevez To Return To City? RVP To Madrid?
William Hill are offering 14/1 that Harry Redknapp qualifies for the Champions League for Spurs AND wins the European Championships as England manager. Should Redknapp become the England manager, a job for which he is 4/11 to get, Hills make Jose Mourinho the 9/2 favourite to succeed him at White Hart Lane. Newspaper reports have, however, suggested that current US coach and Spurs legend, Jurgen Klinsmann could be in line to take over and he has been cut from 16/1 to 10/1 to take over from Redknapp.
Klinsmann is a legend at Spurs and has shown himself to be quite a capable manager as well, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly. Spurs fans would not be upset with his appointment.
Fernando Torres barren spell continued against Everton on Saturday but Hills reckon he could return to scoring ways in the FA Cup being 6/5 to score his next goal for Chelsea against Birmingham. He is 9/2 to bag his next against Napoli and the same price to do so against Bolton. It is 6/1 for his next Chelsea goal to come against West Brom, although he is 3/1 to fail to score in any of those four matches. Andre Villas Boas is also under pressure at Chelsea and Hills are offering 6/1 that both he and Torres have left Chelsea by the first game of next season.
Carlos Tevez is reportedly returning to Manchester on Tuesday and has been earmarked for a return to the City squad over the coming weeks, but William Hill are odds on (at 4/7) that he does not make another appearance for the Blues this season (5/4 he does).
The January transfer window has shut and Tevez staying in Argentina does nobody any favours, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly. His return could well see him back in the first team squad.
Arsene Wenger has described the Spanish press as creative as they suggest that Robin van Persie could be joining Real Madrid in the summer. William Hill offer 8/11 that van Persie is still at Arsenal on the first day of next season, but also offer 5/2 that he is at Real Madrid. He is 6/1 to have joined Barcelona, 9/1 Manchester City and 14/1 Paris Saint Germain.
4/1 PRE-MATCH HANDSHAKES TO BE SCRAPPED
WILLIAM HILL are offering 4/1 that pre-match handshakes will be scrapped officially in Premier League matches before the start of next season. Hills had offered 1/5 that Evra and Suarez WOULD shake hands, and 10/3 that they would not. Hills go 5/1 that Kenny Dalglish and Luis Suarez have left Liverpool by the first game of next season.
After Rio Ferdinand refused to shake hands with Suarez, Hills are offering 11/4 that he and John Terry will NOT start in the same Euro 12 side for England.
When will Torres next score: 6/5 Birmingham; 9/2 Napoli; 9/2 Bolton; 6/1 WBA; 3/1 not to score in any of these matches
*must start the first game or bets void
6/1 Both Andre Villas Boas and Fernando Torres to have left Chelsea by the start of 2012/13 season
5/1 Both Kenny Dalglish and Luis Suarez to have left Liverpool by the start of 2012/13 season
Next Spurs Manager: 9/2 Jose Mourinho; 6/1 David Moyes; 10/1 Jurgen Klinsmann; 10/1 Carlo Ancelotti; 10/1 Brendan Rodgers; 12/1Tim Sherwood; 12/1 Martin ONeill; 16/1 Mark Hughes; 16/1 Gus Poyet; 16/1Paul Lambert; 16/1 Slaven Bilic; 20/1 BAR
Redknapp to qualify for Champions League with Spurs and win Euros with England: 14/1
Carlos Tevez to play again for Manchester City this season (EPL or Europa League): 5/4 yes; 4/7 no
Robin van Persie club next season: 8/11 Arsenal; 5/2 Real Madrid; 6/1 Barcelona; 9/1 Manchester City; 14/1 PSG; 16/1 AC Milan; 20/1 Inter Milan; 33/1 Chelsea

Arsene Wenger is 11/10 to have left Arsenal by the first game of next season and 11/4 to be the boss of Real Madrid come the first game of next season.
These two Arsenal matches could defining in more ways than one and two victories for the Gunners could have a massive impact at both ends of the table, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
Hills make Robin van Persie 5/4 to outscore the rest of the Arsenal team against Bolton.
Newcastles two Senegalese strikers could be back from International duty to play against Blackburn and William Hill go 11/4 that Demba Ba scores more than new boy, Papiss Cisse in the match (10/3 vice versa and 4/7 for the tie).

Rumours in Madrid are suggesting that Jose Mourinho could well be on his way back to the Premier League and William Hill make Arsenal his most likely destination at 7/2. That could probably be explained by the fact that Arsene Wenger is 11/4 second favourite to be Real Madrid manager on the first day of next season, just behind Mourinho at 7/4. Hills offer 2/5 that Jose Mourinho is no longer manager of Real Madrid come the first day of next season.
All is not well at Real and it has been suggested that Jose could be on his way home, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

John Terry and Anton Ferdinand come face to face for the first time since their on-pitch altercation and William Hill are offering 11/10 that the England skipper is snubbed during the pre-match handshakes by Ferdinand.

William Hill are offering 6/4 that Lampard has left Chelsea before the start of next season and make PSG the 5/4 favourites to capture the England midfielder with LA Galaxy 15/8 and Real Madrid 8/1.
Another former Chelsea manager hitting the headlines is Jose Mourinho who could be on his way out of the Bernabeu. William Hill offer 6/5 that he has left Real Madrid by the start of next season and another manager swapping London for the Spanish capital could be Arsene Wenger, who is the 10/3 favourite to take the Real hot seat ahead of Rafa Benitez and Joachim Low at 7/1.

Read moreArsenal Fan Cheering Despite Defeat As He Bags £31,638.47
Arsenal may have been defeated by Manchester United on Sunday, but there was one Gooner who was celebrating well into the early hours. An Irish William Hill punter (and avid Arsenal fan) from Stockport bagged a whopping £31,638.47 from a £10 stake. The punter, who usually bets £10 a week on the football, put all of his eggs in one basket and predicted 14 games in which both teams would score including Arsenals 2-1 defeat to United.
The 28 year old punter has only lived in the UK for 7 months and chose to do the Will Both Teams Score? coupon for the very first time on Sunday. This is the first time that I have played this coupon and I will certainly be having a little punt on it next weekend.
The Will Both Teams Score? coupon is one of William Hills fastest growing coupons despite only having been around for just over two years. The coupon is incredibly popular because the bet lasts for 90 minutes of each match, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly. The bet paid out at odds of 3163/1 and is the largest payout that Hills have made on that coupon this season.
About a year ago, we had a horrific weekend where every Premier League team scored and this is our biggest pay out on this coupon since then, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
Winning Bet Both Teams To Score:
8/13 Utrecht vs PSV
4/6 Man City vs Tottenham
10/11 Osasuna vs Valencia
4/7 AZ Alkmaar vs Ajax
4/6 VVV Venlo vs Feyenoord
1/1 Valenciennes vs Bastia
8/13 Arsenal vs Manchester United
5/6 Siena vs Napoli
5/6 Lecce vs Chievo
8/11 Hamburg vs Dortmund
1/1 Inter Milan vs Lazio
8/11 Leverkusen vs Mainz
8/11 Real Madrid vs Ath Bilbao
11/10 Marseille vs Le Havre

Rooney Odds-on To See Fergie Off
Wayne Rooney was left out of the Manchester United side against Blackburn after reportedly breaking a curfew on Boxing Day, but William Hill think that Rooney will get his place in the starting line-up back, offering 1/5 that he starts the next game against Newcastle. This time last year, relations between Rooney and Sir Alex Ferguson were strained as Rooney requested a transfer and Hills offer 8/1 that he asks for another transfer at any point during the January window. Hills think that Rooney will actually see off Ferguson and go 1/2 that he is at United longer than Fergie (6/4 he is not).
Should he leave United, Hills make Manchester City the favourites to sign him at 5/1 with Real Madrid 8/1 and Chelsea and Barcelona at 10/1.
Despite the sometime volatile relationship between Ferguson and Rooney, we think this particular incident is a mere blip in what we expect to be a long United career for Wayne, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
Rooney to start vs Newcastle: 1/5 yes; 10/3 no
Rooney to score against Newcastle: 10/11 anytime; 7/2 first; 4/1 two or more; 20/1 hat-trick
Rooney to be sent off vs Newcastle: 33/1
Will Rooney request a transfer in the January window: 8/1 yes; 1/20 no
Who will be at Manchester United longer: 1/2 Rooney; 6/4 Ferguson
When will Rooney leave Manchester United: 7/1 2012; 11/2 2013; 9/4 2014; 15/8 2015; 12/1 2016; 5/2 2017 or later
Wayne Rooney next club: 5/1 Manchester City; 8/1 Real Madrid; 10/1 Barcelona; 10/1 Chelsea
