Eriksson odds-on for Villa:
SVEN WILL THEY LEARN?

SVEN Goran Erikkson has been backed down to odds-on favourite to become the next Aston Villa boss with William Hill who have slashed his odds from 7/2 to 8/11 after taking a string of bets from punters wishing to bet up to £700 a time on the Swede to be appointed to yet another high profile job.
‘Although it isn’t quite clear just which piece of managerial magic achieved by Sven might encourage Villa to believe he can take them on from the Martin O’Neill era he has been backed as though he’s on the verge of signing a contract’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’Maybe it is his sensational achievements for the Ivory Coast, Mexico and Notts County which might make him irresistible to Villa, who knows, but when punters are willing to bet hundreds at odds on we can’t afford to take chances.’
NEXT VILLA BOSS…..8/11 Sven; 11/4 Bradley; 7 Jol; 8 Klinsmann; Kambert; 10 Curbishley; Southgate.

WILLIAM HILL have slashed their odds for a disappointing turnout at Wembley of between 40,000 and 49,999 fans for England’s friendly against Hungary from 20/1 to 6/4 after taking a flood of bets that the official attendance will be extremely low.

16/1 ENGLAND FRIENDLY LINE UP TO START NEXT COMPETITIVE MATCH

DESPITE Capello’s introduction of new blood into the squad for the friendly v Hungary, William Hill offer 16/1 that he will start with the same line up in the next competitive match v Bulgaria, as he opts for against the Hungarians. ‘The squad for this friendly could well prove to be a false dawn for those expecting a mass cull of the established players when Capello decides on his line up for the first Euro qualifier’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘And we certainly do not expect to see the same line up then – our best guess is that seven or eight who start v Hungary will also do so against Bulgaria.’

**England starting Eleven from Hungary game to start v Bulgaria –

WILLIAM HILL have cut the odds for a Wembley attendance of between 60,000 – 69,999 from 7/2 to 15/8 as forecasts for the crowd at the England – Hungary friendly became a little more optimistic, and Hills also shortened the odds for 50,000 to 59,999 from 9/4 to 15/8 joint favourite.
‘Noone seems sure whether fans will actually boycott the game, or want to take up his apparent invitation to boo the side, or perhaps even relent after Capello brought new blood into the squad and want to show their absolute satisfaction with his handling of the team’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on what the official attendance for next week’s England v Hungary friendly will be. ‘There are suggestions that punters will boycott this game in protest at England’s World Cup performances, but we believe that the FA will be pulling out all the stops in an effort to avoid the embarrassment of a seriously low crowd’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Sparky Faces Fight To Save Fulham Stars… Becks To Return To East London?

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

Following the news that Mark Hughes is set to be named as the next permanent Fulham manager, William Hill have opened a book on which of Fulham’s stars will stay and which will go. Mark Schwarzer is 1/4 to have left Fulham amid reported interest from Arsenal. He is 11/4 to still be at Fulham come the end of the transfer window. Captain Danny Murphy is 1/9 to be staying at Fulham. Last season’s Player Of The Year, Bobby Zamora is 1/8 to stay. Elsewhere Paul Konchesky is 6/5 to go, 8/13 to stay and Brede Hangeland is 11/4 to go, 1/4 to stay. If he manages to keep his best players, it appears that Fulham may well have a season very much like the last one. Fulham are 1/16 to stay up, 7/1 to get relegated, 2/1 to finish in the top half and 4/11 to finish in the bottom half.

“Mark Hughes will be hoping that he can hold on to the majority of Fulham’s best players as and if he does, we believe that Fulham could have a decent season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Odds:

To Leave Fulham Before The End Of The Transfer Window:

Mark Schwarzer: 1/4 Yes; 11/4 No

Brede Hangeland: 11/4 Yes; 1/4 No

Paul Konchesky: 6/5 Yes; 8/13 No

Danny Murphy: 5/1 Yes; 1/9 No

Clint Dempsey: 4/1 Yes; 1/7 No

Bobby Zamora: 9/2 Yes; 1/8 No

David Beckham has promised West Ham that he will give them an answer as to whether he will join them, within the next few days. William Hill make him 4/1 to return to East London, the place of his birth.

“The odds suggest that while it is not certain he will be leaving LA, he is obviously giving it some serious consideration,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.
