He’s odds on for Team GB, but:
SACRE BLEU! BECKS OFF TO FRANCE?

DAVID BECKHAM has been cut from 4/6 to 1/3 with William Hill to play in the London Olympics for Team GB – while Hills have also opened a book on which will be his next club if he doesn’t re-sign for LA Galaxy.
Becks is 6/4 to sign another contract for the US outfit, and 1/2 not to – while Hills make French side PSG 1/2 favourites to be the next club to sign the former England skipper. ‘Short of inviting Stuart Pearce to be god-father to the next baby Becks, it is difficult to see how much more obvious he could make it that he expects to be included in Team GB’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘But the question of where he will next ply his trade looks likely to see him turning up in Paris.’

WILLIAM HILL BECKS’ SPECIALS…
To play any part in Team GB Olympic football team – 1/3 yes; 9/4 no
To re-sign for LA Galaxy? – 6/4 yes; 1/ 2 no
Which club will Becks sign for next?…1/2 PSG; 5/1 Spurs; 6/1 QPR; 10/1 Anzhi; 10/1 Blackburn; 12/1 Villa; 16/1 AC Milan; 33/1 Real Madrid. Others on request.

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

David Beckham brushed aside questions about him becoming England manager in the future, but William Hill think that he may well dip his toes into the managerial pond at some point in the future. Beckham is 20/1 to take over from Fabio Capello although Hills go Even money that Beckham’s first managerial foray takes place in the USA. Hills go 2/1 that he can be seen striding the touchline in England.

“Beckham was an incredibly popular player and the chances are that he would prove a popular choice as England manager, although he may have to cut his teeth at a lower level before getting the big job,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

It would appear that management may be the way forward for Becks with Hills offering 11/2 that he ever starts another game for England and 9/4 that he makes an appearance at any point for the Three Lions, although 2/1 is available for him to start a match for Team GB at London 2012.

Beckham First Managerial Country (as manager or assistant): 1/1 USA; 2/1 England; 5/2 Any other; 25/1 Spain; 25/1 Italy; 7/4 not to manage before 2020

Start a competitive England match again: 11/2 yes; 1/10 no

Feature for England at any point again in the future: 9/4 yes; 1/3 no

Team GB Manager at London 2012: 16/1

Start a match for Team GB at London 2012: 2/1 yes; 4/11 no

Team GB Captain at London 2012: 2/1

When will Beckham retire from playing football: 16/1 2011; 9/4 2012; 7/4 2013; 1/1 2014+

Romelu Lukaku appears to be the favourite to go to the Bridge, however, with the Anderlecht youngster 4/6 to make the move.

Modric: 11/10 yes; 4/6 no
Neymar: 5/2 yes; 2/7 no

England U21s need a win against the Czech Republic if they are to progress from their group and are 23/20 with William Hill to do so. They are 6/10 to fail to win and crash out of the tournament. Whatever happens, England need to score and Daniel Sturridge, one of only a few small bright spots in England’s team, is 11/2 to open the scoring in the match, while Danny Welbeck is 13/2.

“England have so far been underwhelming in the tournament and it may be down to Daniel Sturridge or Danny Welbeck to fire them into the semi finals,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Although the odds suggest that England will be packing their bags after Sunday’s game.”

Stuart Pearce is offered at 3/1 with Hills to become the Team GB manager at next year’s Olympics.

England To Be Knocked Out: 23/20 No; 6/10 Yes

William Hill make Steve Kean the 3/1 favourite to be the first Premier League manager to leave their position. Mick McCarty is 7/1 second favourite ahead of 9/1 Steve Bruce. “Blackburn only managed to survive on the last day of the season, having been mid table at Christmas and a vast improvement will be needed if Steve Kean does not want to be the first manager out of the door next term,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

At 66/1 Kenny Dalglish, Tony Pulis and whoever takes over the Chelsea role next, appear to be the three safest managers in the league at the minute, with Roy Hodgson, Martin Jol and Sir Alex Ferguson all offered at 40/1. For no manager to leave all season is offered at 100/1.
