Who Will Be Championship New Boy Boss Champ ?

************WILLIAM HILL CHAMPIONSHIP MANAGER SPECIALS******************************************

WHO WLL BE CHAMPIONSHIP NEW-BOY CHAMP?

With several Championship clubs welcoming new managers, William Hill have opened a book on which of them will come out on top at the end of the season and how many of them may fail to see the season out as manager – offering 11/8 that at least one of them will have left the job by then. ‘The difficulty of impressing as an in-coming boss is emphasized by quoting odds-against for all of the new managers to see the season out at their new clubs’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.:

Hills…Highest finishing New Championship Manager:

West Ham (Sam Allardyce) 11/8
Birmingham (Chris Hughton) 9/4
N Forest (Steve McLaren) 5/2
Cardiff (Malky Mackay) 7/1
Watford (Sean Dyche) 25/1
Barnsley (Keith Hill) 40/1

**Only these 6 count.

Odds Hint At 4-3-3 For England This Weekend…will Sam Be The Man For West Ham?

With Wayne Rooney banned for the England match against Switzerland, William Hill are betting on which of the three forwards in the squad will start the game. Darren Bent is 1/7 while Peter Crouch is 1/4. Bobby Zamora is 11/4. The central midfield is another position that is up for grabs during the match and Hills make Scott Parker, Frank Lampard and Jack Wilshere all odds on to start, with Capello thought to be considering three men across the middle. Parker is 4/9, while Lampard is 1/10 and Jack Wilshere 4/11.

“Parker and Wilshere impressed against Wales and it looks as they will be rewarded by starting on Saturday. Lampard also looks like he will start alongside the pair as Capello seeks to use the 4-3-3 that has proved effective in recent matches,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

England are 2/5 to win the match at Wembley with Switzerland 6/1. The draw is priced at 14/5. Hills also offer 3/1 that any England substitute scores a goal. Darren Bent is the 10/3 favourite to open the scoring on Saturday, with Peter Crouch 9/2, joint second favourite with Bobby Zamora.

England are 8/1 to win Euro 2012 and 12/1 to win the competition without losing a game either in qualifying or the finals themselves.

To Start vs Switzerland:
Peter Crouch 1/4 Yes; 11/4 No
Darren Bent 1/7 Yes; 4/1 No
Bobby Zamora 11/4 Yes; 1/4 No
Scott Parker 4/9 Yes; 13/8 No
Frank Lampard 1/10 Yes; 11/2 No
Jack Wilshere 4/11 Yes; 2/1 No

Euro 2012 Outright: 3/1 Spain; 4/1 Germany; 6/1 Holland; 8/1 England; 10/1 Italy; 10/1 France; 16/1 Portugal; 20/1 Russia; 25/1 Croatia; 33/1 Ukraine; 40/1 Poland; 50/1 BAR

William Hill are offering a number of West Ham specials, following the announcement that Sam Allardyce has taken over the reins at West Ham. He has been a relative success at almost every club that he has been at and Hills offer 10/11 that West Ham get promoted into the Premier League at any point during Allardyce’s time at the club. They are 16/1 to win either the FA or League Cup under Big Sam and 20/1 to qualify for Europe. Despite the arrival of a big name manager, it would appear that a big name player may be leaving the club. Hills offer 1/20 that Scott Parker has left the club before the first game of next season.

West Ham Odds:

Will West Ham win a cup (FA or League) under Allardyce: 16/1
Will they qualify for Europe Under Allardyce: 20/1
Will they be relegated (from Championship) under Allardyce: 16/1
Will they be promoted under Allardyce: 10/11
Scott Parker to still be at West Ham after summer transfer window: 1/20 No; 8/1 Yes

Heavy Gamble On Bluebird To Become A Hammer

Dave Jones has been cut from 10/1 to 6/4 to be the new West Ham boss, by William Hill. He has been the subject of a massive gamble over the space of an hour and has pushed other contenders such as Chris Hughton and Sam Allardyce out to 10/3 and 4/1 respectively.

“Dave Jones has gone from relative outsider to frontrunner in the space of 20 minutes and the gamble would suggest that he is, as reported, the number one target to replace Avram Grant,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Next Permanent West Ham Manager (William Hill Odds): 6/4 Dave Jones; 10/3 Chris Hughton; 4/1 Sam Allardyce; 9/1 Alex McLeish; 14/1 Neil Warnock; 14/1 Martin O’Neill; 14/1 Paul Lambert; 14/1 Chris Coleman; 16/1 Kevin Keen; 16/1 Ian Holloway; 16/1 Malky MacKay; 20/1 BAR

Tevez Backed To Stay At Eastlands As City Odds On To Bag Third

Following his brace against Stoke City, Carlos Tevez has been backed in to 5/6 to still be at Manchester City on the first day of next season. On the day before the FA Cup final, he was 2/5 to move over the summer although his public pledge to stay at Eastlands has seen a marked gamble at William Hill on City’s skipper staying. Carlos Tevez is 5/6 to be this season’s Premier League top scorer, while Dimitar Berbatov is the same price. City are 4/9 to beat Arsenal to 3rd in the table with the Gunners 13/8 to get the final automatic Champion’s League spot.

“Despite suffering a two month goal drought this season AND being out injured for six weeks, Tevez goes into the last day of the season with every chance of winning the golden boot and in firing City into third has more than proved his worth to the club,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Premier League Odds:
Top Scorer: 5/6 Berbatov; 5/6 Tevez

Finish Third: 4/9 Manchester City; 13/8 Arsenal

Carlos Tevez to be at Manchester City on the first day of next season: 5/6 Yes; 5/6 No
