William Hill Sunday Soccer Specials

Sunday’s big match sees Liverpool take on Spurs at White Hart Lane and the fortunes of the teams two managers could not be any different. At the start of the season, both were being talked up as prospective England managers yet William Hill believe that Harry is safer than Woy and Hodgson is 2/5 to have left his job before Redknapp.

Rio Under Pressure As Strach Takes Over At Boro And Cole Returns To Fray

RIO UNDER PRESSURE ? BET ON IT

AFTER another high profile below par performance by England defensive lynchpin Rio Ferdinand, William Hill have cut their odds about him failing to start England’s opening World Cup game from 6/1 to 4/1, and for missing out completely on the England squad from 10/1 to 8/1. ‘R io’s recent form has been far from vintage and he is fortunate that most of his serious rivals for the England place seem to be injury prone’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make Rio 1/7 to start for England in their opening World Cup game and 1/20 to be selected for the England World Cup squad.

COLE NO JOEK FOR WORLD CUP PLACE
William Hill make fit again Joe Cole 7/4 to start England’s 1st world cup match, and 2/5 no to.’Joe made an impressive return against Blackburn and will have every chance of re-establishing himself in time for the World Cup’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
YOU BET PRESSURE OFF RAFA
FOLLOWING Liverpool’s victory over Man U, William Hill have lengthened their odds about Rafa Benitez being out before the end of the season from 5/4 to 9/2 and now make him 1/8 still to be in place at the end of the campaign. ‘What a difference one result can make’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘But Rafa will be back under pressure if Liverpool crash out of the Champions League and don’t follow up the United win by revitalising their title challenge.’
WILLIAM HILL- FIRST PREMIERSHIP BOSS TO GO – 25/1 THEY ALL SURVIVE!
WITH PREMIER LEAGUE clubs resolutely refusing to sack their managers, William Hill have cut their odds from 33/1 to 25/1 that none at all will depart this season. ‘It is very susprising that no manager has yet to leave his club this season, but I’m sure this is the calm before the storm, with several bosses beginning to look vulenrable as the season unfolds’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
7/4 Phil Brown; Paul Hart; 7/1 Benitez; McLeish; 8 Zola; 10 Redknapp; 16 Megson; 20 Allardyce; 25 Ancelotti; Hughes; Martinez; McCathy; Moyes.
OH, GORD, WHERE WILL BORO FINISH?
WITH Gordon Strachan installed as Boro boss, William Hill are betting on where they will finish in the Championship:
Where will Middlesbrough finish in the championship?:
1st 11/2
2nd 4/1
3rd – 6th 11/10
7th -10th 9/2
11th -15th 8/1
16th – 21st 40/1

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on which of the ‘Big 4 Bosses’ will leave his club first, and on when one of the four will eventually depart – making Rafa Benitez and 2010 respectively the favourites.
‘WITH ALL OF THE BIG Four Clubs and their bosses beginning to feel a little pressure, either from fans because of their own performances on behalf of their clubs, or by the shadow of Big 4 wannabes like Man City, Spurs, Villa and Everton closing in on their private club of four, it feels as though an era may be drawing to a close’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘We think Rafa is in genuine danger of departing by the end of the season, and one or two of his Big 4 counterparts clearly can’t go on much longer as they are already rivalling the Rolling Stones for longevity. The betting on whether the Big 4 will still dominate the Top 4 at the end of the season or not is also very close’.
Big Four Bosses: Who Will Go First?

Hills also offer 5/4 that he will be be gone before the end of the season and 4/7 that he will see the campaign out. ‘With every successive defeat, Benitez loses the support of more and more fans, and it is ultimately their reaction which will determine his long term future.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
