Punters Kean On Steve For Chop

PUNTERS KEAN ON STEVE AS ROVERS FACE RELEGATION SCRAP

Blackburn boss Steve Kean has been backed down from 50/1 a week ago to 9/4 favourite to be the next Premier League manager this season to lose his job. ‘Blackburn’s rapid tumble into relegation contention have not helped his odds, nor have rumours that the club’s new owners who appointed Kean have been having second thoughts about the wisdowm of that decision’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’And punters have been backing him to the exclusion of previously fancied contenders in the past couple of days.’
Meanwhile, previous market leader Avram Grant – favourite on seven different occasions this season to be the next boss out, has been guiding West Ham out of the bottom three and his odds have lengthened to 4/1 to be the next boss to go.
Hills also believe there is a decent chance that no more managers will be dismissed or resign this season and offer 5/4 about that eventuality.

WILLIAM HILL…Next Prem boss to leave his club this season…..5/4 No more to depart; 9/4 Steve Kean; 7/2 Roberto Martinez; 4/1 Avram Grant; 7/1 Carlo Ancelotti; David Moyes; 16/1 Alex McLeish; 20/1 Ian Holloway. Others on request.

BLACKBURN TO BE RELEGATED….7/2……TO FINISH BOTTOM….16/1

Fa Cup Flop Sees Moyes Cut For Chop

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

Everton’s defeat against Reading has left the Toffees with nothing to play for this season and has prompted a significant gamble on David Moyes to be the next manager to leave their club. He has been cut from 7/1 to 9/2 with William Hill.

“Moyes is very restricted at Everton and with nothing left to play for, he could well walk before he is pushed,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Chelsea secured a vital home win against Manchester United on Tuesday and eased the pressure on their manager, Carlo Ancelotti. He is priced at 9/2 (out from 7/2 before Utd game) with William Hill to be the next Premier League manager to leave their position. Should Ancelotti go, Hills are offering 15/8 that Guus Hiddink replaces him as the next permanent Chelsea manager while Didier Deschamps is 7/1. Frank Rijkaard and Jose Mourinho are both 8/1.

Their big money signing, Fernando Torres failed to score again, however and Hills are offering 10/1 that he fails to score in any of the next five games, although he is 4/7 to bag a goal against Blackpool on the 5th March. Chelsea are also in from 20/1 to 14/1 to win the Premier League although Manchester United are 8/13 favourites.

“Chelsea have often flattered to deceive this season, often recording a good win before falling back into poor form, but the win against United is the kind of result that could save their season and perhaps even Ancelotti’s job,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Premier League Odds:

Outright: 8/13 Manchester United; 13/8 Arsenal; 14/1 Chelsea; 40/1 Manchester City; 100/1 Tottenham

When Will Torres score for Chelsea:
4/7 Blackpool (a)
9/4 Copenhagen (h)
10/1 Manchester City (h)
11/1 Stoke (a)
16/1 Wigan (h)
10/1 Fail to score in any of these games

6th Premier League Manager to Leave: 6/5 No manager to leave before the end of the season; 6/4 Avram Grant; 9/2 Carlo Ancelotti; 9/2 David Moyes; 7/1 Steve Kean (others on request)

Next Permanent Chelsea Manager: 15/8 Guus Hiddink; 7/1 Didier Deschamps; 8/1 Frank Rijkaard; 8/1 Jose Mourinho; 10/1 Pep Guardiola; 12/1 Martin O’Neill; 14/1 Jurgen Klinsmann; 16/1 David Moyes; 16/1 Rafael Benitez; 20/1 Fabio Capello; 20/1 Roberto Di Matteo; 20/1 Gianfranco Zola; 20/1 Gus Poyet; 20/1 Laurent Blanc; 20/1 Marcello Lippi; 20/1 Steve Clarke; 25/1 BAR

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

BOOKIES NOT KEAN ON NEW BLACKBURN BOSS STEVE!

WITH Steve Kean being appointed as Blackburn manager, William Hill are already offering odds of 5/6 that he will be OUT of the job by the first day of next season.’
Since Sam Allardyce left Blackburn they have been one of the best backed teams to be relegated and are now down to 7/1 for the drop’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
And Hills make Kean 28/1 to be the NEXT Premier League manager to leave his job.
Hills have paid out to customers who backed Kean to get the job – but say that anyone who backed any other contender to become the next Blackburn manager will have their bet carried over until Kean is succeeded by the next permanent boss at the club. ‘As it is Christmas, we are paying out on Kean, but letting all other bets on the market stand until the manager after Kean is permanently appointed’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’We think punters may not have long to wait to find out who that will be.’

STEVE KEAN to be Blackburn manager on first day of next season – 5/6 NO; 5/6 YES
STEVE KEAN TO be next Prem manager of this season to leave his job – 28/1
BLACKBURN to be relegated – 7/1 yes; 1/16 no.
