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

Norwich secured promotion to the Premier League by defeating Portsmouth on Monday – although the Canaries are already odds on to go straight back down according to William Hill.

Paul Lambert, the manager who has performed miracles at Carrow Road, is 8/11 to still be Norwich manager on the last day of next season.

“The odds currently suggest that Norwich will have a real struggle on their hands to try and stay in the top flight for more than one season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

7/1 Norwich to finish top half of Premier League 11/12
5/4 Norwich to finish 11th to 17th in Premier League 11/12

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

TORRES FOR THE CHOP?

WILLIAM HILL offer 10/3 that Torres will either have been sold or sent out on loan on the first day of next season as his run of goalless games becomes even longer. ‘He’s 11/2 not to score for the rest of the season, and even if he gets just one or two goals it is difficult to see how he can be regarded as a success unless those goals come in the Champions League final’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make Torres 1/5 still to be at Stamford Bridge on the first day of next season.

WILLIAM HILL…TO BE RELEGATED….4/11 Wigan (2/1 stay up); 4/6 Blackpool (11/10); 5/6 West Ham, Wolves (5/6); 2/1 Blackburn; 3/1 Birmingham; 12/1 Villa; 20/1 Sunderland; 25/1 WBA
TO FINISH BOTTOM…2/1 Wigan; 11/4 Blackpool; 4/1 West Ham, Wolves; 8/1 Blackburn; 10/1 Birmingham; 25/1 Villa.

3 ‘B’s 22/1

Hills offer 13/8 that no more managers will leave this season. ‘We have seen a number of new clients opening accounts purely to bet on Harry being the next to go this season and although we can see no possible reason why this should happen we’ve had to react to the money as no one else is being backed at the moment’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILL HOULLIER STILL BE VILLAIN NEXT SEASON?

ASTON VILLA are 11/4 with William Hill to drop into the bottom three after this weekend’s Premier League matches- and Hills make their boss, Gerard Houllier 6/5 to be gone before the start of next season – and 5/1 to be the next manager to go this season. ‘If Houllier thinks he’s under pressure now, he’ll soon realize that matters can get much worse should Villa slip into the relegation zone after this round of games’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

VILLA are 13/2 to be relegated with Hills who make Wigan 2/5 favourites for the drop (7/4 to stay up) and also offer 5/4 Blackpool; 6/4 West Ham; 13/8 WBA; 7/4 Birmingham; 2/1 Wolves; 2/1 Blackburn.

This Gentleman Is Ferg Turning: Sir Alex To Talk To Motd

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

Sir Alex Ferguson has held talks with BBC director general, Mark Thompson, and bookmakers William Hill have opened betting on when he will start giving interviews to Match of the Day once more. Hills make next season (2011/12) the 8/11 favourite, with this season priced at 5/2. He is 11/4 to continue his feud and fail to give interviews for another season and a half.

“Sir Alex has held a grudge against the BBC for six years, but it appears that he may finally be willing to let sleeping dogs lie and start talking to MOTD once more,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

When Will Sir Alex Ferguson Next Speak To BBC Match Of The Day:
5/2 This Season
8/11 Next Season

Carlo odds-on to leave Bridge before next term:
WILL HOULLIER AND ANCELOTTI MAKE IT TO NEXT SEASON?

WITH REPORTS that Carlo Ancelotti is set to leave Chelsea in the summer regardless of whether they win either or both of the Premier and Champions Leagues, William Hill quote the Blues’ boss at Even mone still to be in charge on the first day of next season, but odds-on at 8/11 not to be.’It would be a real shock were Ancelotti to win the Champions League, yet still be sacked’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

And Hills have also cut their odds for Gerard Houllier to be the next Premier League manager to leave his club this season from 6/1 to 7/2 – and the Villa boss is 6/5 no longer to be at the club on the first day of next season, but 8/13 to survive. ‘Houllier has yet to convince the fans he has come to terms with the job at Villa and with relegation threatening he is on shaky ground’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HOULLIER STILL VILLA BOSS ON FIRST DAY OF NEXT SEASON – 8/13 Yes; 6/5 no

HILLS..NEXT PREM BOSS OUT THIS SEASON…6/4 No more to go; 3/1 Kean; 7/2 Ancelotti; Houllier; Martinez; 6 Mancini; 10 Grant; 14 Hughes. Others on request.

ENGLAND 4/6 TO BE SIXCESSFUL AGAINST WALES

WILLIAM HILL make England 4/6 to win both of their Euro 2012 qualifiers against Wales – and 66/1 to lose both. England are 2/5 to win away at the weekend with the Welsh 6/1 to pull off an upset win. ‘These two games are crucial for both sides, and as England rugby union side discovered at the weekend, form can go out of the window in matches like this’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WHICH OF THREE MISFIRING STRIKERS WILL BE FIRST OFF MARK IN PREM?

WILLIAM HILL are betting on which of the high profile misfiring trio of Premier League strikers will be first to score in the division – and make Torres favourite to do so before Carroll or Dzeko does. ‘These three costly signings have yet to live up to their price tags but surely it is just a matter of time before they come good’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make Chelsea 1/9 to win nothing this season, and 33/1 to win the Prem-Champions League double.

WITH the pressure mounting on Carlo Ancelotti, William Hill offer 12/1 that he will quit his job by midnight on Tuesday – and 8/1 that he goes by midnight after the 2nd leg against FC Copenhagen. Hills have also cut him from 5/1 to 4/1 to be the next Premier League manager to leave this season, and 5/6 that he is gone by the first day of next season. ‘The Champions League would seem to be Ancelotti’s only route to long term survival at Chelsea’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

ANCELOTTI TO QUIT BY MIDNIGHT TUESDAY…12/1…..by midnight on night of 2nd leg game…8/1.

WILLIAM HILL make Torres 6/1 to fail to score in each of Chelsea’s next five games.

And Hills now offer Evens that Ancelotti will be gone by the first Prem game of next season – 8/11 that he’ll still be there. ‘Ancelotti did not look best pleased after the game and Chelsea’s shakey form is a real problem for his future’ added Sharpe.
