Jose Mourinho: The Special One Or A Lucky Punter!

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

Jose Mourinho has been in charge of Real Madrid for nearly two months and it is almost time to discover if he is indeed the Special One. William Hill have opened a book of Real Madrid specials in anticipation of the forthcoming season. Real are 4/7 to win a major trophy next season (La Liga, Copa del Rey or Champions League) and 5/4 that they do not. Jose is 33/1 to scoop the treble. Despite Mourinho’s preference for defensive football, Real are 7/2 to score more than 100 goals this season and 5/1 to break the La Liga record for goals scored by a team (107 in 1998-9 by Real Madrid). The abject performances in ‘El Classico’ last season certainly did not endear Manuel Pelligrini to the Real faithful and Mourinho is 9/2 to win both Barcelona clashes. For no Real wins, Hills offer 5/4 and Evens that they win one. Should he fail, Hills offer 7/2 that he is out of the job before the last day of the season.

“For the first time in his career there is no hiding in Madrid for Mourinho. With the talent and funds available to him, it could be argued that Real will be expecting to win everything next season. Should he fail, it would be interesting to see if he receives more support from the board than his predecessors have,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Real Madrid specials:

To score more than 100 league goals – 7/2

To break the record for goals scored by a team (107) – 5/1

To win a major trophy next year – 4/7 Yes; 5/4 No

To do the treble (La Liga, Copa del Rey; Champions League) – 33/1

Vs. Barcelona: Number of wins – 5/4 None; 1/1 One; 9/2 Two

Mourinho to still be manager at the start of next season – 1/6 Yes; 7/2 No

Amid reports from Holland that Martin Jol could now be staying at Ajax, William Hill make him Even money favourite to become the next permanent Fulham manager, having quoted him at odds of 1/8 to take the job yesterday.

“This comes as a big shock, as it was suggested yesterday that a deal was as good as signed, for Martin to head back to the Premiership and it looks like this story could run for a long while yet,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Next Fulham Manager Odds: 1/1 Martin Jol; 5/2 Dave Jones; 3/1 Sven Goran Eriksson; 7/1 Bob Bradley; 9/1 Gianfranco Zola; 10/1Mark Hughes;14/1 Slaven Bilic; 14/1 Ray Lewington; 14/1 Lee Clark; 14/1 Stuart Baxter; 16/1 Bar.

Following the news that Joe Cole has signed for Liverpool, William Hill offer 1/4 to start Liverpool’s first game of the season and 11/4 that he does not.
