Pompey Return For Fa Cup Winners?

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

Portsmouth are manager-less following Steve Cotterill’s departure to Forest and William Hill make current Pompey first team coach, Stuart Gray, the 7/2 favourite to take the top job. Academy manager, Andy Awford is 5/1 with players from the ‘golden generation’, Sol Campbell and David James offered at 12/1 and 16/1 respectively.

“With Portsmouth still struggling financially, the appointment may well come from within the club rather than bringing in an outsider, although players such as Campbell and James hold the club dear to their hearts following their FA Cup win and may well be tempted to take their first steps into football management at Fratton Park,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Cotterill has taken the helm at the City Ground and Hills make Forest 100/1 to win the league under the popular former Portsmouth man and 20/1 offered for promotion. Relegation may well be more likely at 11/2.

Next Portsmouth manager: 7/2 Stuart Gray; 5/1 Andy Awford; 6/1 Paul Hart; 7/1 Guy Whittingham; 8/1 Kevin MacDonald; 8/1 Mark Robins; 12/1 Sol Campbell; 14/1 Joe Jordan; 16/1 Kit Symons; 16/1 David James; 50/1 Paul Merson

‘SPARKY’ SPECIALS:

WILLIAM HILL make Mark Hughes a 2/1 chance to achieve a top half finish with Fulham – and 25/1 to bring in three or more Man City players to the club before the close of the first transfer window. ‘Hodgson is a tough act to follow, but ‘Sparky’ Hughes is already eyeing a top ten finish – and he won’t have the distraction of the Europa League as Hodgson did. However, we make them odds-on to finish lower than the 12th place Hodgson achieved last campaign’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Hills make Fulham 5/1 to finish 12th again this season, 7/4 to finish 11th or higher; 8/13 13th or lower.

YOU BET PUNTERS GIVE ARSENAL SYMPATHY VOTE
PUNTERS who believe Arsenal got a raw deal from the ref over Porto’s second goal have rushed to back the Gunners to go through, causing William Hill to cut them from 8/11 to 8/13 to progress, and lengthening Porto from Evens to 6/5. ‘Gunners’ fans are feeling victimised, but seem to believe that their team’s sense of injustice over the second goal will help them overcome the setback in the second leg.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS MAKE ARSENAL 10/11 TO GO THROUGH IN 90 MINUTES IN THE SECOND LEG, 20/1 TO MAKE IT THROUGH IN EXTRA TIME, AND 20/1 TO DO SO IN A PENALTY SHOOT OUT.
ARSENAL were lengthened from 15/2 to 10/1 to win the Champions League by William Hill after they lost to Porto, who were cut from 50/1 to 40/1.
‘Calamity Keeper’, Fabianski, is 7/4 to start the 2nd leg, 2/5 not to; while Sol Campbell is 6/4 to start, 1/2 not to.

WAYNE ROONEY, 4/7 favourite to win the Premier League GoldenBoot with William Hill is being quoted at 11/2 by Hills to leave Manchester United before the start of next season. ‘It may seem fanciful to believe that Rooney could leave Old Trafford, but he will be one of the highest profile players in the game if he has a good World Cup and with United facing tough times financially it is just possible that the right offer could persuade United to part with him’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.Hills offer 1/10 that he will still be a United player on the first day of the 2010- season.
United are now 5/2 second favourites to win the Premiership title with Hills – who offer 100/1 that they, Chelsea and Arsenal will produce a triple title dead heat on points this term. Chelsea are 5/6 favourites, with Arsenal at 10/3, Liverpool 80/1, Spurs and Villa both 125/1. Hills offer 8/1 that the title will be decided on goal difference.
ROONEY is 4/7 favourite with Hills to win the Premiership Golden Boot with William Hill who also offer 5/1 Defoe; Drogba; 7/1 Bent; 10/1 Tevez.
SOL CAMPBELL IS 20/1 with Hills to win a place in the England World Cup squad.
NEXT PREM BOSS OUT……Zola is 6/5 favourite with Hills to be the next Premiership manager to leave his club this season. Hills also offer 9/4 Benitez; 9/2 Brown; 5/1 No more to go; 6/1 Allardyce; 14/1 Grant; 16/1 Redknapp.

Sol Headed Back To Prem? Bet On It

SOL HEADED BACK TO PREM? BET ON IT

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on where Sol Campbell will next play his football – and rate the Premier League the 5/2 favourite.

‘Sol’s future is a matter of huge speculation and his ill-fated liaison with League Two has probably raised his profile so high that there will be no shortage of offers from other clubs as a result – he’ll probably be looking to get back to the top level after what seems to have been an unproductive flirtation with League Two football’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills are also betting on whether Sven will remain at Notts County as Director of Football or Coach/Manager until the end of this season and offer 1/10 that he will, 11/2 that he will not. ‘Sven is in an ideal position at the moment – where someone else is getting the blame for the side’s current indifferent form. But if the current manager were to leave the pressure would be on Sven to take over – and then he’d be in the firing line if results weren’t up to expectation’ added Sharpe.

Sol 7/2 To Become County Boss

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

SOL 7/2 TO BECOME COUNTY BOSS
WITH Sol Campbell declaring his wish to become a manager, William Hill are quoting odds of 7/2 that he will (1/6 that he won’t) take over in that role at new club Notts County by the end of the season; 7/4 that he will (2/5 that he won’t) be manager/player manager of any Premiership/Football League club before the end of NEXT season; and 10/1 that he is manager of a Premiership club before the end of the season after that, 2011/12.
‘Sol is one of the most respected players in the game and must have every chance of becoming a manager if that’s his ambition – working alongside Sven can only improve his potential managerial cv and no one -except, perhaps Ian McParland – will be too surprised if he becomes boss at Notts County’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills are also offering a series of other odds about Sol’s first season at County – offering 8/1 for him to score on his debut; 33/1 to be sent off during his debut; 9/2 to be sent off at any stage this season; and 5/6 to score 3 or more goals in League Two this season, 5/6 2 or less.
