FABIO 11/8 TO QUIT THIS YEAR

WILLIAM HILL HAVE CUT Fabio Capello from 7/4 to 11/8 to leave the England job during 2010. ‘Rumours are circulating suggesting that Fabio may be considering a departure straight after the World Cup and punters have cottoned on to that’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Meanwhile, Hills have made Joe Cole an odds-on shot to make the Final 23 in Capello’s Squad while David James is 11/10 favourite to start in goal against USA. ‘The Japan game will have given Capello plenty of food for thought before selecting his final 23 and deciding who is his first choice keeper’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’We also now make Crouch odds on favourite to start up front with Rooney in the opening game’

WILLIAM HILL are offering 1/3 that Jose Mourinho will join Real Madrid as his next club after he made life difficult for bookies as Inter lifted the Champions League trophy. ‘That was a popular result for punters who have hit us for six – a six figure loss on the game’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills have installed Barcelona as 3/1 favourites to win the Champions League next season.
JOSE MOURINHO has been backed from 4/5 to 1/3 to become Real Madrid manager when he leaves Inter Milan with William Hill who also offer 7/2 that his next club will be Manchester City; 8/1 Liverpool; 8/1 Manchester United; 20/1 Arsenal; 20/1 Barcelona; 20/1 Chelsea. ‘Mourinho will have his pick of clubs when he leaves Inter and the likelihood is that his preference will be for Real Madrid’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Blackpool 16/1 For Record Low Points Tally As Jose Odds On To Return To Prem By 2014.

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

BLACKPOOL 16/1 FOR LOWEST EVER PREM POINTS TALLY!

WILLIAM HILL make Blackpool 10,000/1 to win the Premier League – the longest odds ever quoted about any team in the division – and they are 25/1 with Hills to top the table on points at any stage of the season. But they are also 16/1 with Hills to set a new all time low tally of Prem points – 10 or under.
Hills make Ian Holloway 4/9 still to be Blackpool boss on the final day of the next Premier League season, and 13/8 to have left before then.
Blackpool are 1/3 to be relegated (9/4 to stay up) with Hills who make them Evens to finish bottom of the table, and 1/100 to finish in the bottom half- 16/1 to finish in the top half.
‘Ian Holloway will certainly bring some light relief to the Premier League next season but it will be the greatest feat of his managerial career to keep Blackpool, a team quoted at longer title odds than any other in the history of the Premier League, up’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
**CARDIFF are 10/1 to win the Championship next season with Hills who make them 11/4 to be promoted.

JOSE REAL DEAL DONE?

WITH JOSE Mourinho looking certain to be imminently appointed Real Madrid manager, William Hill have closed their book on his next club – but make him 4/9 to return to the Premier League as a boss before January 1, 2014. ‘Noone stays very long at Real Madrid, so Jose will probably be job-hunting again soon, and his best options are likely to be in the Premier League’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

**Will Jose Mourinho win the Champions League as Real Madrid manager? Yes 13/8, No 4/9

**Will Jose Mourinho manage again in the Premiership by 1st Jan 2014? Yes 4/9, No 13/8

**How many FULL seasons will Jose Mourinho complete at Real Madrid (i.e manage first and last La Liga match)? 0 = 9/4, 1 = 9/4, 2 = 9/4, 3+ = 7/2.
(Bets void if Mourinho not appointed Real Madrid manager)

William Hill Scottish Junior Cup Odds

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

WILLIAM HILL SCOTTISH JUNIOR CUP ODDS……..
BACK TO THE FUTURE
Linlithgow Rose are aiming for their 4th Junior Cup win, their last being in 2007 while Largs Thistle are aiming to win it for the second time, their only other win being in 1994. Its Largs’ last victory in 1994 that starts to throw up some coincendences…..
In 1994 Dundee Utd won the Scottish Cup for thier first time in their history – last weekend they won it for the second time.
In 1994 there was a World Cup taking place, won by Brazil – fast forward 16 years a World Cup takes place in South Africa.
In 1994 Chelsea reached the FA Cup Final albeit losing to Man Utd – in 2010 they again reached the final but this time won it.
In 1994 Inter Milan reached a European Final – winning the UEFA Cup – on Saturday they play in the Champions League Final.
In 1994 Walter Smith won the Manager of the Year Award – he won the title again this season.
If you believe in omens then it looks like Largs only have to turn up on Sunday as it’s in the stars.
William Hill have priced up some specials for those looking to cash in on the superstition –
Largs to win the Junior Cup, Inter Milan to win the Champions League and Brazil to win the World Cup pays 25/1 or
if you want to follow it exactly to the past you can have 14/1 on Largs and Brazil.
All is not lost though if you follow Linlithgow as in the year of their last victory Chelsea won the FA Cup and a side from Milan (albeit AC) competed in the Champions League Final.
