100/1 LIVERPOOL REDSOX!?

WITH LIVERPOOL’S proposed takeover apparently imminent, William Hill are betting on whether the takeover will be formally approved by the end of this month, and have opened a book on what may happen to the club as a result.
‘The Liverpool soap-opera would rival Coronation Street for plot twists and you couldn’t entirely rule out a change of name for the club to ‘Redsox’ should they end up under the same umbrella ownership as the Bostonians of that name!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Will the proposed takeover of Liverpool FC by NESV be formally approved by LFC board, Tom Hicks/George Gillett and RBS by 31st October 2010? 5/6 yes, 5/6 no

Liverpool FC to formally change their name to the Liverpool Redsox by the end of 2010 100/1

Liverpool FC to be playing in a new purpose built stadium by the first day of 2012-13 Premiership season 4/1 yes, 1/7 no

Roy Hodgson still boss on first day of next season? 8/11 yes…Evens no

Fernando Torres to be sold in the January 2011 transfer window (loans do not count) 3/1 yes, 2/9 no

Steven Gerrard to be sold in the January 2011 transfer window (loans do not count) 10/1 yes, 1/33 no

YOU BET DALGLISH KEN COME BACK TO MANAGE LIVERPOOL !

WILLIAM HILL are offering odds of 10/3 that Kenny Dalglish will become Liverpool manager at any stage of the current Premier League season. ‘With Liverpool in the relegation zone, Roy Hodgson under pressure and sections of the crowd calling for the return of ‘King Kenny’ we have opened a book on whether Dalglish will manage the side at any point during the current season’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HILLS….Kenny Dalglish to manage Liverpool at any point during the 2010/11 Premier League season …10/3 YES; 1/5 NO

HILLS NOW OFFER 5/6 THAT ROY HODGSON WILL STILL BE LIVERPOOL MANAGER ON THE FIRST DAY OF NEXT SEASON, 5/6 THAT HE WILL NOT. ‘It seems to us to be as likely that he will be boss still, as that he will not, so we’re sitting on the fence with this one!’ said Sharpe.

Hills also offer 6/5 that Hodgson will go before the end of this season and make him 5/1 third favourite to be the next Premier League manager to part company with his club. Roberto Martinez is 3/1 favourite, with Avram Grant 7/2 second favourite.

Three Robertos Conjure Miracles To Keep Bookies Smiling

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Bookies were celebrating as their fine start to the season continued with shocks and upsets all over the country. Arsenal losing at home to West Brom was the biggest shock of the weekend with almost 95% of punters on the game placing their wagers on an Arsenal victory. West Brom have also been eased to 9/4 from 11/8 for relegation following today’s result.

Despite losing for the first time this season, Chelsea are still the 10/11 favourites to win the Premier League this season with William Hill. Manchester City are 4/11 to finish in the top four with Arsenal priced at 1/6, Manchester United 1/25 and Chelsea 1/100.

“The three Robertos performed minor miracles today and we will be making sure that they are all put on our Christmas card list this year,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Merseyside Misery
Liverpool’s disastrous start to the season continued, failing to win again, and Roy Hodgson’s odds of being the next manager out of a job have shortened from 10/1 to 8/1. Everton are now rooted to the bottom of the Premier League and David Moyes is just 15/2 to be the next manager to leave their club. At the start of the season, Hodgson was 28/1 and Moyes was 33/1 to be the first manager to go.

“At the start of the season, Moyes and Hodgson had two of the best reputations in the business. It could well be that they jump before they have their names dirtied by any more poor results,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Football Odds:

Premier League Outright: 10/11 Chelsea; 2/1 Man Utd; 8/1 Arsenal; 91 Man City; 66/1 Liverpool; 80/1 Tottenham; 150/1 Bar

Hodgson Now In Crisis?

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

ROY HODGSON’s odds to be the next Premier League manager to leave his job following Liverpool’s defeats to Manchester United and Northampton, have been halved from 20/1 to 10/1 by William Hill. ‘The side beaten by Northampton was made up of players which by and large were not brought to the club by Roy Hodgson, but the embarrassment of the result will impact on the way fans regard his progress since joining the club’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘It is harsh even to consider Roy being forced out in the near future but given the financial problems and Kenny Dalglish’s public statements that he wanted to be manager, a few more poor results could make him consider whether he made the right decision to come to Anfield’.

AND HILLS NOW MAKE HODGSON 1/2 FAVOURITE TO LEAVE LIVERPOOL BEFORE DAVID MOYES DEPRTS EVERTON, WHO IS 6/4 TO BE THE FIRST OF THE PAIR TO GO.

Hills now make Roberto Martinez 2/1 favourite to be the next Prem boss out and also offer 3/1Grant; 4 Mancini; 9/1 Moyes; 10 McLeish; Hodgson; 12 Hughton; 14 Di Matteo; 20 Holloway; McCarthy.
Hills offer 33/1 that NO more Prem managers will leave their clubs this season – ‘Noone wants to back that option’ said Sharpe.

Capello 6/1 To Still Be In Charge After Euro 2012

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

GERRARD 11/2 TO SKIPPER ALL REMAINING QUALIFIERS

Harry Redknapp is the 11/4 favourite at William Hill to succeed Fabio Capello when he steps down as England manager after the 2012 European Championships. New Liverpool boss, Roy Hodgson is the 10/3 second favourite and Martin O’Neill is just behind him at 4/1. David Beckham has been backed in from 33/1 to 20/1 to take over. The next manager is 1/5 to be English and 10/3 that he is non-English.

Hills offer 11/2 that he goes before the European Championships start and 6/1 Fabio is in charge of England’s first game after the Euros.

Despite claiming that he wishes to enjoy his retirement after the 2012 Championships, Hills are offering 3/1 that he moves back to Italy after the 2012 Euros and manages a Serie A club and 7/2 that he manages a club in Spain. He is 5/1 to not manage before the start of 2014 and 9/2 that he manages a Premier League club.

“Capello appears to have made up his mind to leave after the Euros and we can only hope that he leaves on a high. Should his reputation take another battering in Poland and Ukraine, however, the odds suggest that he may give club management one last shot,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

GERRARD 11/2 TO SKIPPER ALL REMAINING QUALIFIERS

William Hill are offering 11/2 that Stephen Gerrard captains England for all of the remaining European qualifiers. Conversely Rio Ferdinand is 1/7 to captain in any qualifying game.

“Rio is the current England captain but at the moment he faces a fight to get back into the starting XI following an impressive start to qualifying, so Steven Gerrard could yet stay as captain for a while yet,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Fabio Capello Odds:

To Leave Before The Start Of Euro 2012: 11/2

To Still Be England Manager For England’s First Game After Euro 2012: 6/1

Where Will Fabio Go After The Euros (to manage): 3/1 Serie A; 7/2 La Liga; 9/2 Any other (including staying England Boss); 9/2 Premier League; 5/1 Not To Manage Before 31/12/13; 7/1 Any International; 11/1 Bundesliga; 16/1 Ligue 1

Nationality Of Next England Manager: 1/5 English; 10/3 Non English

Next England Manager: 11/4 Harry Redknapp; 10/3 Roy Hodgson; 4/1 Martin O’Neill; 5/1 Stuart Pearce; 8/1 Steve Bruce; 12/1 Sam Allardyce; 14/1 Jose Mourinho; 14/1 Alan Shearer; 16/1 Guus Hiddink; 16/1 Ian Holloway; 20/1 Arsene Wenger; 20/1 David Beckham; 20/1 Mark Hughes; 20/1 Alan Curbishley; 20/1 Glenn Hoddle; 25/1 BAR
