What Now For Blackburn? Relegation More Likely Than Winning Championship

Blackburn suffered relegation at the hands of Wigan and William Hill make Rovers 10/1 to go down to League one next season. They are 16/1 to win the league and 4/1 to win promotion by any means. Relegation often means that a number of star players could be released to balance the books and Hills are odds on about Yakubu (5/6), Paul Robinson (1/2) and David Dunn (8/13) all having left the club by the start of next season.

“Martin Olsson and Junior Hoilett look as though they are already planning their exit strategies and they may just be the start of the exodus with many big names tipped to leave this summer,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Steve Kean is 1/5 to no longer be in charge of Blackburn on the first day of next season (10/3 that he is still there).

The relegation dogfight now goes down to the final day with Bolton needing a win at the Britannia Stadium and counting on Manchester City beating QPR. The Wanderers are 4/11 to go down, with QPR 2/1.

Blackburn next season:

Championship Outright – 16/1
Relegation: 10/1
Promotion – 4/1

Steve Kean at Rovers first day of next season: 1/5 no; 10/3 yes

Will players still be at Blackburn on the first day of next season:

YAK – YES 5/6 NO 5/6
ROBINSON – YES 6/4 NO 1/2
DUNN – YES 6/5 NO 8/13
DANN – YES 8/13 NO 6/5

Premier League Relegation:
4/11 Bolton; 2/1 QPR

United Front Set To Blast Bolton

Sunday Football Specials

United Front Set To Blast Bolton

Wayne Rooney has a fantastic record of scoring against Bolton, having scored six in the last four meetings between the sides. William Hill are offering 10/11 that he manages to score at any time past a Wanderers rearguard that is without Gary Cahill. He is also 7/2 to score the first goal and 20/1 to score a hat-trick. Should Rooney get frustrated however, his temperament could come under scrutiny and Hills are offering 6/4 that he is booked and 16/1 to be sent off. Hills are offering 6/1 that Bolton win. Manchester United are 1/2 to win in what should be a routine victory.

Dimitar Berbatov is United’s main man at the moment and Hills are offering 7/2 that he bags the first goal. He scored a hat-trick against Liverpool and he is priced at 20/1 to score another this Sunday.

“United are facing their third North-West derby in as many games, and they will be viewing this as an attempt to close the gap on Chelsea. It would be the perfect opportunity for Wayne Rooney to really kick start his season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills are also offering odds of 10/1 that Stoke manage to score within 20 seconds of a Rory Delap throw-in against Newcastle. Newcastle are 19/20 to win against Stoke who are 3/1 to leave St James’ Park with 3 points.

Aston Villa are the 8/5 slight favourites in the Midlands derby against Wolves. Wolves are priced at 9/5 to win.

William Hill Sunday Football Odds:

Wayne Rooney: 7/2 to score first; 10/11 to score at any time; 4/1 to score 2 or more; 20/1 to score a hat-trick; 6/4 to be booked; 16/1 to be sent off

Outright:
6/1 Bolton; 1/2 Man Utd; 3/1 Draw
9/5 Wolves; 8/5 Aston Villa; 21/10 Draw
19/20 Newcastle; 3/1 Stoke; 12/5 Draw
