YOU BET HODGSON PLOTTING ‘POOL COMEBACK – IF HE SURVIVES!

LIVERPOOL are now 5/1 with William Hill to finish in the top four after they won their second successive Premier League game. Hills have shunted their relegation odds, more than doubling them from 11/1 to 25/1, while they are 125/1 to win the League, producing a comeback to rival the one which saw them come from three down to win the Champions League. ‘The top four target is probably Roy Hodgson main seasonal target now’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
But Hodgson himself is still under pressure, with William Hill quoting him at 2/1 joint favourite with Chris Hughton to be the next Prem boss to leave his club.’Both Roy and Chris have produced positive results this weekend but neither can be certain that their long-term future at their clubs has yet been guaranteed’ added Sharpe.

NEXT PREM BOSS OUT…2 Hodgson; Hughton; 11/4 Grant; 10 McCarthy; Martinez;20 Hughes; Mancini; McLeish 25 No more bosses to go this season.

TO WIN TITLE….4/7 Chelsea; 4/1 Man U; 5/1 Arsenal; 14/1 Man C; 80 Spurs.

TO FINISH IN TOP FOUR…3/10 Man C; 2/1 Spurs; 5/1 Liverpool; 7/1 Everton;

RELEGATION….8/15 Blackpool (11/8 stay up); 10/11 West Ham; Wigan; Wolves; 9/2 Birmimgham; 11/2 Newcastle; 13/2 Stoke; WBA; 15/2 Blackburn; 8 Bolton; 10 Fulham; 11 Sunderland; 25 Liverpool.

YOU BET TONY PULIS SAFEST BOSS BET TO SURVIVE UNTIL NEXT SEASON…..

WITH A NUMBER OF PREMIER LEAGUE managers under short or long term pressure for various reasons, William Hill have opened a book on the individual chances of each of the 20 bosses leaving their current club before the first day of next season or not and, slightly surprisingly, have made Stoke’s Tony Pulis the best bet still to be in place when 2011/12 season kicks off. ‘You can make a case for almost every one of the 20 managers not to be in place on the first day of next season – Fergie may have retired, Arsene Wenger may have quit after winning nothing again, Ancelotti hay have won everything and fancy a new challenge, other bosses may have been sacked after disappointing seasons – but we think Tony Pulis is bomb-proof at Stoke and make him 1/20 still to be there’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘But we reckon Roy Hodgson is the most vulnerable boss at the moment – and he’s 4/7 to be gone by the first day of the next campaign, with Chris Hughton not far behind him at 8/11.’

HODGSON AND HUGHTON NOW JOINT FAVOURITES TO BE NEXT BOSS OUT

Under pressure Newcastle boss Chris Hughton has been cut from 7/2 to 6/4 joint favourite with Roy Hodgson to be the next Prem manager to leave his club. ‘Rumours are rife that Hughton is not guaranteed a new contract with Newcastle, and the weekend derby against Sunderland could be crucial for his future prospects’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills make Rooney 8/15 to score more than his younger team-mate, with a tie between them offered at 8/1. ‘Wayne has inadvertently heaped even more pressure on his own shoulders during a period in which he is showing only glimpses of his best form, and the new kid on the block is threatening to out-shoot the ageing gunslinger!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

As Liverpool shortest ever price to be relegated:
NOW HODGSON FAVOURITE TO BE NEXT PREM BOSS OUT!

ROY HODGSON is now favourite with William Hill to be the next Premier League manager to lose his job this season, following Liverpool’s lacklustre display against Everton. ‘The new owners have said they want to give Hodgson their backing, but everyone knows how vulnerable bosses are if they lose the fans, and capitulating to your deadliest rivals is not the best way to keep them on your side ‘ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
WILLIAM HILL HAVE SLASHED LIVERPOOL FROM 18/1 TO 11/1 TO BE RELEGATED – THE SHORTEST ODDS AT WHICH THEY HAVE BEEN QUOTED IN PREMIER LEAGUE HISTORY. AND HILLS ALSO OFFER 80/1 THAT THEY WILL FINISH BOTTOM OF THE TABLE. ‘Liverpool being quoted at just 11/1 for the drop this season, is something we’d have offered longer odds than 11/1about at the start of the campaign!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

ROONEY BACKED TO LEAVE UNITED

WILLIAM HILL have cut their odds for Wayne Rooney to leave Manchester United after punters backed him to go following Sunday newspaper stories suggesting he could soon be on his way out of Old Trafford.
‘Very few punters are interested in backing Wayne still to be a United player at the start of next season and we have cut the odds about him going both during the coming January transfer window – from 7/1 to 13/2, and at the end of the season but before the start of next from 7/2 to 3/1’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
And Hills no longer even make Rooney favourite to top score in the Premier League this season for his own club, offering him at 15/8 to do so – behind favourite Dimitar Berbatov, who currently has a five goal lead over Rooney.

Is England Career Over For Owen ?

IS ENGLAND CAREER OVER FOR OWEN?

Although Michael Owen is hoping to win his England place back, William Hill offer 3/1 that he will play any part in the Euro 2012 qualifying matches. ‘Michael may have to face up to the fact that his England career is over as Capello has shown little enthusiasm for restoring him to the side’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills offer 2/9 that Owen will play no part at all in the Euro 2012 qualifying campaign.

HODGSON’S CHOICES?

WITH Roy Hodgson hoping to have cash to play with in the January transfer window as a result of Liverpool’s projected take-over, William Hill are betting on how many permanent signings he will make then, and make three or more their 5/4 favourite. ‘Liverpool clearly need to bring in a number of new players but whether they will have the money and whether the right players will be available remains to be seen’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
