WILLIAM HILL are offering odds of 2/1 that John Terry will NOT be part of the final England squad for the Euro 2012 tournament. ‘Reports suggest that Terry is not happy about losing the captaincy and there must be a possibility that he will decide to retire from representing his country’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

SCOTT PARKER BACKED TO BE NEW ENGLAND SKIPPER

SCOTT Parker has been backed from 8/1 to 9/2 second favourite to skipper England in their opening Euro 2012 match with William Hill, who make Steve Gerrard 8/13 favourite and also offer; 5/1 Frank Lampard; 9/1 Gareth Barry; 9/1 Joe Hart; 20/1 Ashley Cole; 33/1 Rio Ferdinand. ‘A little surprisingly., Parker has been the springer in the early market with punters believing the captaincy may now skip a generation.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS OFFER 8/1 THAT FABIO CAPELLO WILL STAND DOWN AS MANAGER BEFORE EURO 12 BEGINS – 1/20 THAT HE DOESN’T DO SO.

WILLIAM HILL – TO START FIRST EURO ’12 MATCH AS ENGLAND SKIPPER:

City Slip Could Ultimately Cost Mancini His Job…ferdinand Vs. Terry Round Two…leeds Latest

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

Manchester City’s defeat to Everton has seen their lead at the top of the table wiped out and Roberto Mancini could find his job in danger if Manchester City fail to lift the trophy this season. William Hill make the City boss 11/4 to have left his position by the start of next season. Jose Mourinho could well be the replacement at the Etihad as he is the 13/8 favourite to be the next City manager.

Sir Alex Ferguson could also be on his way at the end of the season and Hills make him 11/4 to have left his position by the start of next season. Jose Mourinho is also the favourite to take over from Ferguson, with Hills making him 5/2 to be the next Red Devils manager.

“Jose Mourinho is up there as one of the best managers in the world and would be at the top of any elite club’s wish lists but it looks like Manchester will be his ultimate destination,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Manchester United take on Chelsea at the weekend and William Hill are offering 9/4 that Rio Ferdinand and John Terry do not shake hands (1/3 that they do). John Terry is 1/3 to captain England for their first match of Euro 2012, with Steven Gerrard the 4/1 second favourite and Rio Ferdinand 6/1.

Leeds have sacked Simon Grayson and William Hill make Alan Curbishley the 8/11 favourite to succeed him at Elland Road. Roberto Di Matteo is the 7/2 second favourite with John Shridan and Neil Redfearn both offered at 8/1.

William Hill odds:

Next Manchester United Manager: 5/2 Jose Mourinho; 4/1 Ole Gunnar Solksjaer; 8/1 Pep Guardiola; 10/1 David Moyes; 14/1 Martin O’Neill; 20/1 Mark Hughes; 33/1 Carlos Quieroz; 33/1 Gus Hiddink; 33/1 Mike Phelan; 33/1 Ryan Giggs; 33/1 Steve Bruce

Next Manchester City Manager: 13/8 Jose Mourinho; 10/1 Martin O’Neill; 10/1 Gus Hiddink; 10/1 Carlo Ancelotti; 14/1 Frank Rijkaard; 14/1 Rafa Benitez; 20/1 David Moyes; 20/1 Jurgen Klinsmann

Jose Mourinho next club: 13/8 Manchester City; 4/1 Manchester City; 5/1 Tottenham; 6/1 Arsenal; 8/1 England National team; 12/1 Chelsea; 16/1 Portugal national team; 20/1 Inter; 25/1 AC Milan; 33/1 Juventus; 33/1 Barcelona; 33/1 Liverpool; 100/1 Rangers; 100/1 Celtic

Sir Alex Ferguson still at Manchester United come the start of 2012/13 season: 1/4 yes; 11/4 no

Roberto Mancini still at Manchester City come the end of 2012/13 season: 1/4 yes; 11/4 no

John Terry and Rio Ferinand to shake hands on 5th Feb 2012: 1/3 yes; 9/4 no

Capello 8/1 to quit:
GERRARD FAVOURITE TO BE ENGLAND EURO SKIPPER BUT TERRY ODDS-ON TO PLAY

WILLIAM HILL make Steven Gerrard 8/13 favourite to skipper England in their opening Euro ’12 finals match – and they offer 1/ 2 that John Terry will start that game, 6/4 that he will not. Hills are also offering 8/1 that Fabio Capello will stand down as England manager before the Euro finals begin, 1/20 that he does not.
‘The decision to strip Terry of the captaincy potentially raises a number of issues, including the questions of whether Terry will still be selected to play and whether Capello is happy with the decision, possibly taken regardless of his opinion’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL – TO START FIRST EURO ’12 MATCH AS ENGLAND SKIPPER:

Steven Gerrard 8/13
Frank Lampard 5/1
Rio Ferdinand 7/1
Scott Parker 8/1

Manchester City face Liverpool in the Carling Cup with a one goal deficit and William Hill make them 2/1 to qualify for the final, Liverpool are 2/5 and in the driving seat. The only goal at the Etihad was a penalty scored by Steven Gerrard and Hills offer 3/1 that a penalty is awarded during the match. Manchester City are 7/1 to win after extra time while Liverpool are 14/1. After winning their match against Spurs in added time on Sunday, Hills offer 16/1 that an injury time goal settles the tie.

“The previous match between these two was hardly a classic and both sides will want to avoid any early mistakes,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “It is quite possible that this one could go down to the wire.”

Andy Carroll and Edin Dzeko are struggling for goals at the moment and William Hill are offering 12/5 that either one of the misfiring strikers nets the first goal, while 6/1 is available for them both to find the net at anytime during the match. Andy Carroll has scored just the one goal since Luis Suarez started his ban and William Hill offer 11/8 that he fails to score in the remaining three matches of Suarez’s absence. He is 5/4 to score one, 7/2 two, 8/1 three and 10/1 four or more.

90 minutes betting: 7/4 Liverpool; 9/5 Manchester City; 19/10 Draw

To Qualify: 2/1 Manchester City; 2/5 Liverpool

3/1 Penalty to be awarded during the match

Carroll or Dzeko to score first: 12/5

Carroll and Dzeko to score anytime: 6/1

Total Andy Carroll goals in next three games (Manchester City; Manchester United; Wolves): 11/8 none; 5/4 one; 7/2 two; 8/1 three; 10/1 four
*Must start vs Manchester City and fixtures played in above order

An injury time goal to settle the time: 16/1
*Game must be heading into extra time in 90 minutes, any goal scored to avoid extra time is a winner

What will Balotelli do first against Liverpool: 1/1 be substituted; 11/4 complete 90 minutes; 3/1 score; 10/3 receive yellow card; 25/1 red card

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



WILL ANDY CARROLL HIT THE BA?

WILLIAM HILL make Demba Ba 4/1 to outscore his predecessor as Newcastle number 9 when Newcastle take on Liverpool on Friday, with Carroll 15/8 to come out on top.’There will be a great deal of personal pride at stake for these two in this match’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills also offer 100/1 that Carroll will be dismissed for striking Dember Ba. ‘Given his recent erratic scoring and shooting form it would be strangely topical if he got sent off for hitting the Ba!’ added Sharpe.
CARROLL IS 4/1 TO SCORE WITH A HEADER.
Hills have also opened a book on when Steve Gerrard will come on during the game (assuming he doesn’t start, in which case bets void):

Who will score more goals in Liverpool-Newcastle game:

Andy Carroll15/8
Tie8/13
Demba Ba4/1
*BETS VOID IF EITHER PLAYER DOES NOT START

Andy Carroll to finish if he starts –1/ 4 yes, 11/4 no

Demba Ba to finish if he starts –1/ 2 yes, 6/4 no

Who will be subbed first? 2/1 BA 11/4 CARROLL 10/11 BOTH FINISH

-Void if doesn’t start

Match odds…4/7 Liverpool; 11/4 draw; Newcastle 5/1

He’s 10/3 to notch 19+ Prem goals,but:
WILL GARETH BALE OUT OF SPURS?

WITH Harry Redknapp declaring Gareth Bale ‘unsellable’, William Hill offer 2/7 that he will still be a Spurs’ player on the first day of next season, 5/2 that he has left the club by then. ‘As everyone knows, declaring that you’ll never sell a player is usually a coded message for ‘offer us enough and you can have him’, although to be fair, Spurs did seem to be ambitious enough to reject mega-bucks for Modric’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
