RIO TO RETIRE FROM ENGLAND? YOU BET IT COULD HAPPEN

WITH the controversy raging over whether Fabio Capello will stick with Rio Ferdinand as his England captain, or give the armband back to John Terry on a ‘permanent’ basis, William Hill are not only betting on who will eventually succeed Rio as permanent skipper, but are also offering 10/1 that Rio will announce his retirment from international football before the end of the current season. ‘Rio has been battling against injury during the season and is reportedly not happy that Capello is considering taking the armband from him – either or both of these factors could result in a decision to quit international football, possibly so that he can still figure prominently in Man U’s plans’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS NOW OFFER 1/4 THAT JOHN TERRY WILL SUCCEED RIO, WHENEVER HE CEASES TO BE PERMANENT ENGLAND SKIPPER UNDER CAPELLO. ‘This has been so frequently flagged up that it already feels like a fait accompli, but maybe Fabio has been waiting to see what the public reaction to such a possible move would be’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

You Bet City Could Be Blue And Pool Could Be Red Faced

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

Manchester City and Liverpool have left themselves with a lot to do in the second leg of their last 16 ties in the Europa League and William Hill are offering 5/1 that both sides progress into the quarter finals.

“5/1 reflects the hole that both Manchester City and Liverpool find themselves in after indifferent first leg performances,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “We would be very surprised if at least one of the sides did not progress.”

Braga performed well in their home leg, but having lost 6-0 to Arsenal, Liverpool are 16/1 to emulate that feat and score six or more goals. New signing, Andy Carroll is yet to get off the mark, but Hills are offering 8/13 that he scores anytime during their match against Braga, while he is 2/1 to score with his head.

Manchester City are 2/1 to qualify against Dynamo Kiev and 4/9 to win in 90 minutes. With the Manchester City owners seemingly demanding silverware this season, Hills are offering 20/1 that they win the Europa League and the FA Cup. Should they fail, the chances of Mancini staying in charge seem slim and he is 13/8 to have left his position by the first game of next season.

Manchester City/D. Kiev:

90 Minutes: 4/9 Man City; 7/1 Dynamo Kiev; 3/1 Draw

Hills are offering 13/20 that Manchester United manage to keep a clean sheet and 16/1 that there are six or more goals in the match.

City 6/4 To Be Flying High With Etihad…or Will They Need The Wonga???

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

Manchester City have been given permission to rename their stadium and William Hill think that current shirt sponsors Etihad are the front runners, offering 6/4 that they win the rights to rename Eastlands. The UAE Tourism Board, UAE Interact, are the 4/1 second favourites with Umbro the 10/1 third favourites.

Given Roberto Mancini’s penchant for scarves and hats, Hills are offering 25/1 that Armani buy the rights and 33/1 Versace do. 100/1 is offered for money-bags City to play in the Wonga Stadium next season!

“Etihad are the clear favourites but should Manchester City ever need a payday loan, maybe renaming Eastlands the Wonga Stadium, could help them out,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Who Will Win Rights For Manchester City New Stadium Name:

6/4 Etihad; 4/1 UAE Interact; 10/1 Umbro; 16/1 Vodaphone; 16/1 O2; 16/1 AON; 20/1 Red Bull; 20/1 Benetton; 20/1 Orange; 25/1 Armani; 33/1 Budweiser; 33/1 Versace; 66/1 William Hill; 100/1 Go Compare; 100/1 Wonga

Special Comeback At Chelsea ?

A SPECIAL CHELSEA COMEBACK? YOU BET………..

WILLIAM HILL have cut their odds for Jose Mourinho to return to Stamford Bridge as the next permanent Chelsea boss from 8/1 to 4/1 after taking a number of three figure bets on the Special One succeeding Carlo Ancelotti. ‘We saw three figure bets in those hot spots of football, Barnsley and Kent, but with a number of other, smaller wagers also being staked there is clearly speculation that Jose is not long for Real and that Carlo could be history at Chelsea by next season. Bitter experience has taught us to react quickly to unexpected beting moves in ‘Next Boss’ markets!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL NEXT PERMANENT CHELSEA MANAGER MARKET……2/1 Hiddink; 4/1 Mourinho; 8/1 Deschamps; Rijkaard; 10 Guardiola; 12 O’Neill; 14 Klinsmann; 16 Benitez; Moyes; 20 Capello. Others on request.

ANCELOTTI STILL CHELSEA BOSS 1ST DAY OF NEXT SEASON – Evens yes; 8/11 n.

Nasri And Wenger Could Face Spell On The Touchlines: But You Bet A Fine Will Suffice

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

Arsene Wenger and Samir Nasri have been charged by UEFA following their comments made after the Barcelona game on Tuesday. William Hill are offering 6/4 that Nasri is on the receiving end of a fine but no ban and Wenger is 5/4 to receive the same punishment. Hills are offering 2/1 that Samir Nasri gets a two match ban, while Wenger is 7/4 to be sent to the stands for Arsenal’s next two European fixtures.

“Wenger and Nasri could potentially face a spell on the sidelines, however, the odds suggest that a fine will suffice for the UEFA bigwigs,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Wenger and Nasri Ban Prices:

Nasri: 4/1 No Action; 6/4 Fine, no ban; 10/3 1 match ban; 2/1 2 match ban; 9/1 3 or more match ban
