Mancini Magic Lost Its Shine – Evens To Have Left By Next Season

Reports have today suggested that Manchester City’s recent downturn in form could result in the loss of Roberto Mancini’s job. William Hill make the Italian Even money to have departed City by the start of next season (8/11 to still be there). Even more humiliating for City, will be the fact that the race could well be over by the time the two sides face each other at the Etihad on the 30th April. Hills offer 11/10 that is the case (4/6 it is not). Hills offer just Even money now for Manchester United to win the league by seven or more points.

“City appear to have well and truly blown it,” said William Hill spokesman Joe Crilly. “The derby was being billed as a title decider but following City’s recent slump, it could all be over by then.”

Sam Allardyce has been given the deadly vote of confidence by the West Ham board, who claim his job is safe even if he fails to take the club up this season. Hills agree offering 1/3 that he is still there on the first day of next season (9/4 he is not).

Fernando Torres has shown recent good form and William Hill think his torrid time at Chelsea may be coming to an end. He is 4/6 to go to the Euros and just 1/4 to still be at Chelsea next season.

Roberto Mancini to be in charge of Manchester City at the start of next season: 8/11 yes; 1/1 no

Will United have won the League by the Manchester derby: 11/10 yes; 4/6 no

How many points will Manchester United win the Premier League by: 1/1 seven points or more; 4/1 four – six points; 5/1 not win the league; 6/1 one – three points; 10/1 goal difference

When will Manchester City next win: 13/8 Arsenal; 5/6 WBA; 7/1 Norwich; 16/1 Wolves; 33/1 Manchester United; 50/1 none of these games

Sam Allardyce believes that he has what it takes to be the next England manager and claims that his stake would be strengthened should he get West Ham promoted this season. Allardyce is currently a 20/1 shot with William Hill to get the job after Fabio Capello leaves his post. Harry Redknapp is currently the 8/11 favourite with Martin O’Neill 8/1 second favourite.

Championship Sack Race Hots Up: Sven Odds On To Go Before Mclaren

With the Championship season set to kick off this weekend, Hills are offering a brand new market on the Manager Sack Race. The Championship is home to a number of high profile managers this year and the market is expected to be incredibly competitive with Coventry manager, Andy Thorn, the 6/1 favourite to be the first manager to leave his club. Keith Millen and Sean Dyche round off the top three at 7/1. With two former England managers plying their trade in the division, Hills offer 14/1 that Steve McLaren is the first manager to go, while Sven Goran Eriksson is 16/1 although Sven is 8/11 to be out of a job before the Wally with the Brolly.

“This year’s Championship is expected to be one of the closest ever with a number of high profile managers in charge of high profile clubs.

************WILLIAM HILL CHAMPIONSHIP MANAGER SPECIALS******************************************

WHO WLL BE CHAMPIONSHIP NEW-BOY CHAMP?

With several Championship clubs welcoming new managers, William Hill have opened a book on which of them will come out on top at the end of the season and how many of them may fail to see the season out as manager – offering 11/8 that at least one of them will have left the job by then. ‘The difficulty of impressing as an in-coming boss is emphasized by quoting odds-against for all of the new managers to see the season out at their new clubs’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.:

West Ham (Sam Allardyce) 11/8
Birmingham (Chris Hughton) 9/4
N Forest (Steve McLaren) 5/2
Cardiff (Malky Mackay) 7/1
Watford (Sean Dyche) 25/1
Barnsley (Keith Hill) 40/1

**Only these 6 count.

0 or 1 33/1
2 or 3 9/1
4 7/2
5 5/4
All 6 11/8

100/1 England To Win Both Euro 2012/world Cup 2014.

Ancelotti 16/1 to be next England boss,but:
ENGLAND WORLD CUP ODDS ON THE DRIFT

WILLIAM HILL have lengthened England’s 2014 World Cup odds from 12/1 to 16/1 following their disappointing display against Switzerland. They have also lengthened France from 20/1 to 28/1 following the announcement of the seedings for the forthcoming World Cup draw, and shortened favourites Brazil from 7/2 to 5/2, with second favourites Spain out to 5/1 from 9/2.
‘We have decided that on current form, under the current manager England do not warrant being any shorter than 16/1 and that as we have no idea who the boss will be when 2014 gets underway we should be looking to lay them now’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
WITH CARLO ANCELOTTI taking a year out but reportedly saying he wants to remain in management in England, Hill’s have introduced him into the ‘Next England manager’ market at 16/1. ‘If it is decided to opt for another foreign boss Ancelotti would surely be a contender – after all, he speaks better English than Capello’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HILL’S 2014 WORLD CUP…5/2 Brazil; 5/1 Spain; 6/1 Argentina; 11/1 Germany; 12/1 Holland; 16/1 England; 20/1 Italy; 25/1 Portugal; 28/1 France; 33/1 Chile; 50/1 Uruguay; 50/1 Ivory Coast; 50/1 Serbia; 66/1 Russia; Paraguay; Croatia; Mexico; 80/1 USA; Ghana; Sweden.
HILLS OFFER 100/1 THAT ENGLAND WILL WIN BOTH EURO 2012 AND WORLD CUP 2014

HILL’S NEXT PERMANENT ENGLAND MANAGER MARKET- 6/4 Redknapp; 6/1 Stuart Peare; 6/1 Martin O’Neill; 8/1 Gareth Southgate; 9/1 Roy Hodgson; 10/1 Sam Allardyce; 14/1 Steve Buce; Jose Mourinho; 16/1 Carlo Ancelotti; Guus Hiddink.

Odds Hint At 4-3-3 For England This Weekend…will Sam Be The Man For West Ham?

With Wayne Rooney banned for the England match against Switzerland, William Hill are betting on which of the three forwards in the squad will start the game. Darren Bent is 1/7 while Peter Crouch is 1/4. Bobby Zamora is 11/4. The central midfield is another position that is up for grabs during the match and Hills make Scott Parker, Frank Lampard and Jack Wilshere all odds on to start, with Capello thought to be considering three men across the middle. Parker is 4/9, while Lampard is 1/10 and Jack Wilshere 4/11.

“Parker and Wilshere impressed against Wales and it looks as they will be rewarded by starting on Saturday. Lampard also looks like he will start alongside the pair as Capello seeks to use the 4-3-3 that has proved effective in recent matches,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

England are 2/5 to win the match at Wembley with Switzerland 6/1. The draw is priced at 14/5. Hills also offer 3/1 that any England substitute scores a goal. Darren Bent is the 10/3 favourite to open the scoring on Saturday, with Peter Crouch 9/2, joint second favourite with Bobby Zamora.

England are 8/1 to win Euro 2012 and 12/1 to win the competition without losing a game either in qualifying or the finals themselves.

To Start vs Switzerland:
Peter Crouch 1/4 Yes; 11/4 No
Darren Bent 1/7 Yes; 4/1 No
Bobby Zamora 11/4 Yes; 1/4 No
Scott Parker 4/9 Yes; 13/8 No
Frank Lampard 1/10 Yes; 11/2 No
Jack Wilshere 4/11 Yes; 2/1 No

Euro 2012 Outright: 3/1 Spain; 4/1 Germany; 6/1 Holland; 8/1 England; 10/1 Italy; 10/1 France; 16/1 Portugal; 20/1 Russia; 25/1 Croatia; 33/1 Ukraine; 40/1 Poland; 50/1 BAR

William Hill are offering a number of West Ham specials, following the announcement that Sam Allardyce has taken over the reins at West Ham. He has been a relative success at almost every club that he has been at and Hills offer 10/11 that West Ham get promoted into the Premier League at any point during Allardyce’s time at the club. They are 16/1 to win either the FA or League Cup under Big Sam and 20/1 to qualify for Europe. Despite the arrival of a big name manager, it would appear that a big name player may be leaving the club. Hills offer 1/20 that Scott Parker has left the club before the first game of next season.

West Ham Odds:

Will West Ham win a cup (FA or League) under Allardyce: 16/1
Will they qualify for Europe Under Allardyce: 20/1
Will they be relegated (from Championship) under Allardyce: 16/1
Will they be promoted under Allardyce: 10/11
Scott Parker to still be at West Ham after summer transfer window: 1/20 No; 8/1 Yes
