ROONEY AND GERRARD ODDS ON TO MAKE MIRACLE RECOVERIES

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on whether either Steven Gerrard and/or Wayne Rooney will play any part in their clubs’ Premiership matches at the weekend. Hills offer 8/1 that NEITHER will play any part; 5/4 that either ONE of them will play some part, and 8/11 that BOTH will play some part in the matches at home to Bolton (Man U) and away to Sunderland (Liverpool).
‘Both Rooney and Gerrard seem to be quick healers and we think there is every chance that both will be in action at the weekend’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

NOTT PLATT?

THE LARGEST bet William Hill have taken so far on the identity of the next Notts County manager is for David Platt, on whom one punter has risked £100 and who is currently 4/1 second favourite. ‘There are reports that such and such a candidate has ruled himself in or out and so and so is not being considered, but experience has told us that in these markets money is better informed than rumours’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills now make Roberto Mancini 7/2 favourite to get the job and also offer 4/1 Platt; Peter Taylor; 7 Coppell; 9 Dowie; 10 Curbishley; 16 Sven; Keegan; O’Leary; 20 Strachan.

SVEN WILL HE GO

AFTER the departure of Ian McParland as Notts County boss, William Hill have installed Sven Goran Erikkson as 7/2 favourite to take over the reins permanently himself. Hills now make County 1/3 to be promoted this season, 9/4 not to and offer 1/10 that Sven will still be at the club on the last day of the season , 11/2 that he will not. ‘With hindsight, McParland’s departure was almost certainly inevitable even though he could be backed at 6/5 to be gone before the end of the season when the new owners took over’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make County 6/4 favourites to win League Two and also offer 5 Bournemouth; 11/2 Rochdale; 11 Rochdale; 12 Dagenham; 14 Chesterfield; Shrewsbury.

BECKS NOW 5/1 TO BEAT SHILTS’ RECORD

AFTER failing to play any part in the game against Ukraine, David Beckham is an odds on shot to play some part in the Belarus match with William Hill – but they have legnthened their odds for him to pass Peter Shilton’s record caps tally of 125 from 7/2 to 5/1.
‘Obviously Becks has a limited number of opportunities to catch and pass the record and each missed game makes it tougher for him to do so as it is almost impossible to envisage him still being involved after the World Cup’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’However, we think he may have at least a minor role to play at home against Belarus if only to please the Wembley crowd with a late cameo appearance’

WILLIAM HILL:

England 1/8 Draw 5/1 Belarus 14/1

Beckham to break Shilton’s record 5/1

Beckham to make World Cup squad 8/11 yes, Evs no

Rio Ferdinand to start England’s first game of World Cup finals – 1/6 yes; 7/2 no.

TO START IN GOAL IN 1ST WORLD CUP FINALS GAME: 11/10 Robert Green; 5/4 David James; 5/1 Ben Foster; 8/1 Paul Robinson (others on request)

GRANT 5/2 TO TAKE HART’S JOB AT POMPEY

WITH Avram Grant being parachuted into struggling Portsmouth, William Hill offer 5/2 that the former Chelsea boss will have taken over as manager on the last day of the season – and make Hart a 6/5 chance still to be in charge then.’Having a high profile personality who has done the job someone else is currently doing, but at a much higher level, brought in in close proximity to the incumbent would not seem to make for an ideal working relationship, despite the way in which it will undoubtedly be presented to the world’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills also offer 4/6 that EITHER Grant or Hart will be boss on the last day of the campaign, 11/10 that it will be someone else.
Paul Hart to be Pompey manager on the last day of the season = 8/13 no 6/5 yes
