WATFORD GOING WESTLEY?

WILLIAM HILL have installed Brian Laws as 6/4 favourite to be Watford’s next permanent manager, with Stevenage boss Graham Westley 11/4 second favourite. ‘Elton John could yet prove a contender at 500/1 but whoever gets the job is likely to be fighting relegation after the club lost both their manager and star striker in quick succession said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
WATFORD ARE 7/2 TO GO DOWN WITH HILLS WHO MAKE THEM 16/1 TO BE PROMOTED AND 40/1 TO WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP.’
