Sergio’s Boys Had Better Show Heart Or He Will Be Shown The Door

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

Paulo Sergio was today named as Jim Jeffries successor at Hearts but William Hill already have him as the 7/1 third favourite to be the next SPL boss to leave his club. He is 1/2 to still be in charge of Hearts come the final day of the season and 6/4 to have left the club by then. Hearts are 40/1 to win the SPL and 16/1 to be runners-up, although, they are even money to finish in third place.

“Paulo Sergio has walked into possibly the most volatile of positions in Scottish football and could well be looking down the barrel of the gun should his troops fail to get off to a winning start,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

How many more managers will Hearts have this season: 1/2 none, 2/1 one; 7/1 two or more

Hearts finishing position: 40/1 winner; 16/1 runner up; 1/1 third; 2/1 fourth; 6/1 fifth; 10/1 sixth; 14/1 seventh or lower

Will Paulo Sergio be in charge on last game of the season: 1/2 yes; 6/4 no

Next SPL Manager to leave: 10/11 Colin Calderwood; 4/1 Terry Butcher; 7/1 Paulo Sergio; 9/1 Derek McInnes; 9/1 Kenny Shiels; 16/1 Ally McCoist; 16/1 Danny Lennon; 25/1 Craig Brown; 25/1 Neil Lennon; 25/1 Peter Houston; 25/1 Stuart McCall; 33/1 Jim McIntyre

McCoist Could Be Looking Like A Swede If Rangers Go Out

Ally McCoist’s Rangers take on Malmo in the Champions League qualifiers on Wednesday and the, already under pressure manager needs a result in Sweden. William Hill make Malmo the 1/2 favourites to qualify for the next round, Rangers are 6/4. Rangers are 13/10 favourites to win in 90 minutes, while Malmo are 13/8. Rangers are 6/1 to win on away goals. The Scottish side are 250/1 to win this year’s Champions League. McCoist is 10/3 to not be Rangers manager come the last day of the season and is 16/1 to be the next SPL manager to leave their job.

“McCoist is under pressure already following a couple of uninspiring performances and he will surely be feeling the heat should Rangers go out of the Champions League against Malmo,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

To Qualify: 1/2 Malmo; 6/4 Rangers

Betting without Calderwood, but:
WHO’LL BE NEXT SPL BOSS TO LEAVE HIS CLUB?

WITH HIBS’ BOSS Colin Calderwood reportedly set to leave Hibs, William Hill have opened a book on who – excluding Calderwood – will be the next SPL manager to leave his club and have installed Jim Jefferies of Hearts, St Johnstone’s highly rated Derek McInnes and Kilmarnock’s Kenny Shiels as their 4/1 co-favourites. ‘Kenny has lost some of his best players and replaced them with some as yet unproven new ones, Derek is probably coveted by bigger clubs, while Jim needs results to match the strength of his squad if he’s not to come under pressure’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ’However, this looks a very open market.

William Hill: The Odds (Without Colin Calderwood) for next SPL boss out:

4/1. Shiels
4/1. Jefferies
4/1. McInnes
9/2. Butcher
7/1. D. Lennon
10/1. Brown
12/1. McCall
16/1. N. Lennon
16/1. Houston
16/1. McCoist
20/1. McIntyre.
