Connor Already Odds On To Be Thrown To The Wolves By Next Season!

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

Wolves have today announced Terry Connor as their manager until the end of the season but whether Wolves stay up or go down (5/4 stay up / 4/7 relegation), William Hill are odds on at 8/11 that he is not in charge on the first day of next season (Even money to still be there). A new manager can often galvanise a push up the table but Hills offer 50/1 that they finish in the top half of the table, 9/2 11th – 14th and 2/1 15th – 17th.

Wolves are 5/1 to win Connor’s first match in charge and are 8/1 to finish the weekend at the foot of the table. Wigan are the 4/9 favourites, with Bolton 5/2, Blackburn 10/1 and QPR 25/1.

“We feel that Connor may well be in a lose/lose situation. Should he keep Wolves up, he may have to make way for a more experienced man and should they go down, he may have to leave for not being good enough,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Bridge Beginning To Bend Under Weight Of Expectation

Andre Villas Boas is under intense pressure at Chelsea and should things not go his way against Bolton on Saturday, he could be on his way. William Hill make him 4/1 to have left Chelsea by midnight on Saturday and 3/1 to have left before the kick off of the second leg of the Champions League tie against Napoli. He is odds on at 2/5 to no longer be at Chelsea on the first day of next season.

Gamble On Arsene To Stay At Arsenal…fa Cup Specials

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

Arsenal fans have been rallying around Arsene Wenger since their humiliating midweek defeat and in the last 48 hours, his odds of still being at the club have been backed from 8/11 to 8/13 with William Hill. Hills have also seen support for both Wenger and Robin van Persie to still be at Arsenal on the first day of next season, offered at 15/8 having previously been 2/1 (3/1 to leave). Theo Walcott has been pinpointed as one of the main underperformers at Arsenal this season and he is 7/2 to have left Arsenal by the first day of next season.

“It is safe to say that Arsene Wenger has not enjoyed the best of seasons since taking over at Arsenal but we think that he has the backing of the fans if the weight of money for him to stay is anything to go by,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Andre Villas Boas is under considerable pressure at Chelsea, although the odds of him still being there at the start of next season have come in slightly to 4/7, while Harry Redknapp is odds-against at 2/1 to still be at Spurs by the same day.

9/2 all London Cup Final:
WENGER 11/2 TO WIN FA CUP – 11/10 TO JUMP SHIP BEFORE NEXT SEASON

FOLLOWING THEIR comeback against Villa, Arsenal are now 11/2 fourth favourites for the FA Cup with William Hill who make Spurs and Chelsea 10/3 jt favourites.’Maybe the Arsenal fightback will restore the Arsenal faithful’s trust after a somewhat tetchy period between them’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. But Hills are still doubtful that Wenger will still be Arsenal boss on the first day of next season, quoting 4/6 that he will, 11/10 that he will not. ‘It would be no great surprise if Arsene Wenger decided to move on to a new challenge next season.’
But beaten Villa’s boss Alex McLeish has been cut from 11/8 to 8/1 to be the next Prem boss to leave his club and is now 7/2 NOT to be Villa manager on the first day of next season – 1/6 still to be there.
Hills offer 9/2 an all London FA Cup Final and 20/1 that it will be between Liverpool and Everton.

You Bet Hughes And Barton Will Be Staying Put Despite First Defeat!

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

Mark Hughes’ reign at QPR started with defeat and William Hill are offering 4/1 that he is no longer at QPR come the start of next season (1/7 to still be there). Should QPR be relegated, Hills offer 7/1 that they win the League and 3/1 that they would gain promotion by any means.

Joey Barton was the subject of much speculation in the Sunday papers as they suggested that Mark Hughes could let him go in January. Hills are erring on the side of caution and make him 1/8 to stay (9/2 to leave in January). Joey Barton did not play against Newcastle due to being suspended and Hills go 1/4 that he starts the first game for QPR that he is available for.

“Mark Hughes has already claimed that Joey Barton will remain his captain and while it is not uncommon for clubs to sell their leaders, we think that Joey will be staying put for the time being,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Mark Hughes to be at QPR on the first day of next season: 1/7 yes; 4/1 no

Joey Barton to still be at QPR at the end of the January transfer window: 1/8 yes; 9/2 no

Joey Barton to start first match he is available for: 1/4 yes; 11/4 no

United 11/10 NOT to beat City this season as:
500/1 UNITED POINTLESS IN PREM DURING JAN!

With Manchester United- who are 2/5 with William Hill to win no trophies this season – currently pointless in the Premier League in January, Hills have opened a book on how many points they will collect during the month, in which they have three more scheduled games – and offer 11/4 that they get nine by winning all three.
But Hills are also betting on how many more consecutive competitive game defeats United will add to their current two – and offer 500/1 that they will lose all of their next three. ‘This could be a pivotal point in United’s season, and possibly Fergie’s future’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Share, as they trimmed their odds for the United boss to be the next manager to leave his job from 66/1 to 50/1. He is 5/2 not to be manager on the first day of next season.
AND HILLS, WHO MAKE CITY 4/6 TO ELIMINATE UNITED (UTD 11/10 TO GO THROUGH) FROM THE FA CUP, ARE ALSO QUOTING ODDS OF 11/10 THAT UNITED WILL FAIL TO BEAT CITY THIS SEASON. ‘They have to play again in the League, they meet in the FA Cup and could be drawn together in the Europa League’ said Sharpe.

Man Utd Premier League points in January,2012:
9 11/4
7 9/4
6 9/4
5 6
4 7
3 25
2 50
1 100
0 500
v Bolton H, Arsenal A, Stoke H (all three games must be played in Jan or bets void)

How many more consecutive competitive games will Man Utd lose?
0 4/6
1 5/4
2 25/1
3 or more 500/1

**Starting vs MAN CITY (FA CUP)

UNITED TO BEAT CITY THIS SEASON – 4/6 YES; 11/10 NO
FERGIE TO BE BOSS 1ST DAYOF NEXT SEASON? – 2/7 YES; 5/2 NO
ROONEY AT UNITED 1ST DAY EXT SEASON – 1/5 YES; 10/3 NO

NEXT PREM BOSS TO GO…11/10 Kean; 3/1 Coyle; 10/3 AVB; 11/2 Warnock; 8/1 McLeish; 12/1 McCarthy; 16/1 Jol; 50/1 Fergie; 16/1 no more managers to go this season. Others on request.

The Million Man: Barton’s Tweet Is Looking Sweet

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

Joey Barton breached the million follower mark and William Hill are offering 10/1 that he manages to overtake the two kings of English football tweeting, Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand, by the end of the season. He is 5/2 to overtake one of them and 1/3 to fail to overtake either of them. Given his propensity to controversial tweeting, Hills are offering 11/4 that he is banned from tweeting by QPR before the end of the season.

“Joey’s twitter feed, which spans from philosophy, through football banter and so-called ‘TOWIE bashing’, is proving incredibly popular and its diversity could help in making it the number one Twitter footy feed by the end of the season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “He just has to make sure that he is not too controversial otherwise his club may force him to quit.”

Banned from tweeting by the end of the season by QPR: 11/4 yes; 1/4 no

To overtake Rio Ferdinand or Wayne Rooney in Twitter followers by the end of the season: 1/3 neither; 5/2 one; 10/1 both
