That’s Not Your Lotti: Carlo Pressure Eased With Victory

Chelsea secured a vital home win against Manchester United and eased the somewhat considerable pressure on their manager, Carlo Ancelotti. He is priced at 4/1 (out from 7/2 before Utd game) with William Hill to be the next Premier League manager to leave their position. Their big money signing, Fernando Torres failed to score again, however and Hills are offering 10/1 that he fails to score in any of the next five games, although he is 4/7 to bag a goal against Blackpool on the 5th March. Chelsea are also in from 20/1 to 14/1 to win the Premier League although Manchester United are 8/13 favourites.

“Chelsea have got it all to do, but this result will undoubtedly boost confidence at Stamford Bridge and a belated title push may well be on the cards,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Outright: 8/1 Manchester United; 13/8 Arsenal; 14/1 Chelsea; 40/1 Manchester City; 100/1 Tottenham

Hughton Heavily Backed To Be Baggies Boss

Chris Hughton has been heavily backed in the last two hours to succeed Roberto Di Matteo as the next permanent West Brom manager. Having been priced at 10/1 yesterday, the former Newcastle boss is the 6/4 favourite with William Hill and already results in a high four figure loss. Current caretaker manager Michael Appleton the 3/1 second favourite. Early front runner, Sam Allardyce has drifted from 6/5 to 3/1 with Martin Jol 5/1.

“Any new West Brom appointment would have to work under a ‘sporting and technical director’ which could explain why Allardyce has drifted, as it can be certain that he would want the final say so in any transfer dealings,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Next West Brom Manager Odds: 6/4 Chris Hughton; 3/1 Michael Appleton; 3/1 Sam Allardyce; 5/1 Martin Jol; 6/1 Derek McInnes; 8/1 Roy Hodgson; 16/1 Gus Poyet; 16/1 Alan Curbishley; 16/1 Billy Davies; 20/1 Paul Lambert; 20/1 Aidy Boothroyd; 20/1 Tony Mobray; 20/1 Martin O’Neill; 20/1 Paul Ince; 20/1 Brendan Rodgers; 20/1 Sean O’Driscoll; 25/1 Glenn Hoddle (others on request)

Who Will Becks Sign For ?

WHO WILL BECKS JOIN BEFORE RETURNING TO MLS?

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on which club David Beckham will honour with his playing presence prior to returning to the MLS for its new season, and with Harry Redknapp suggesting Spurs may be interested, the London club has been installed as 1/3 favourite with Beckham’s former club Manchester United 25/1 longshots. ‘Just why any club would want to risk alienating their current squad by parachuting a mercenary in for a few weeks is a moot question but where Becks is concerned commonsense so often seems to fly out of the window! No doubt some clubs would like to bask in the reflected glory of having him on board for a while’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills….David Beckham’s Next Club Before Returning to MLS?
Tottenham…1/3
Arsenal…….11/1
Aston Villa….14/1
Valencia…….16/1
Everton……..20/1
Malaga…………20/1
West Ham……..20/1
Man Utd………25/1
Real Madrid….25/1
AC Milan…….33/1
Blackpool….40/1
Leicester……40/1
Loan deals DO count. Bets void if Beckham does not join another club. Others on request.

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

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 Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

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

William Hill Charlie Adam:

Charlie Adam’s 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)
