8/13 City/united Forecast…tevez May Be Kicking His Heels For Some While Yet

Manchester City made relatively light work of Blackburn and William Hill are offering 8/15 that they win the league. Their nearest rivals, Manchester United, are 13/8 to win the league. Hills are offering 8/13 for Manchester City to finish first with their rivals in second.

Carlos Tevez was nowhere to be seen as City lined up to face Blackburn and despite his apology, he may face a thankless task getting his old spot back seeing as Dzeko, Balotelli and Aguero all netted. William Hill are offering odds on when he will next don a City shirt and offer 11/4 that it is when they face Bolton on the 3rd March, 5/2 Swansea, 7/2 Chelsea, 5/1 Stoke and 11/2 Sunderland. He is 3/1 to take no part in any of these games. He is, however, 1/8 to play for City this season (9/2 not to).

“Tevez’s apology has paved the way for a return to action, but he may have to wait a while as there are three strikers ahead of him bang in form,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Premier League outright: 8/15 Manchester City; 13/8 Manchester United; 20/1 Spurs; 200/1 Chelsea; 250/1 Arsenal; 1000/1 Liverpool

Premier League top four finish: 1/300 Manchester City; 1/200 Manchester United; 1/14 Tottenham; 8/11 Chelsea; 13/8 Arsenal; 3/1 Liverpool; 12/1 Newcastle; 100/1 Sunderland; 125/1 BAR

Villas Boas Burden Eased Along With Odds For The Sack

Andre Villas Boas and Chelsea got a vital and comprehensive victory against Bolton at home and William Hill have eased the price of AVB having left Chelsea by the start of next season from 4/6 to Evens (8/11 to still be there). He is out to 4/1 from 3/1 to be out of a job by the time Chelsea visit Birmingham for their FA Cup replay.

“Chelsea played fantastically in the second half of their match and they have helped to ease the pressure on their under fire manager,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “If they can continue to play like they did after the first goal then their manager will have every reason to think his job will be safe.”

Despite coming from behind to salvage a point at Newcastle, Hills make Terry Connor 8/11 to NOT be in charge of Wolves for the first game of next season (Even money to still be in charge).

Andre Villas Boas to still be at Chelsea on first day of next season: 8/11 yes, EVS no

Andre Villas Boas to have left Chelsea by the start of Birmingham game: 4/1

Terry Connor to be in charge of Wolves on first day of next season: 1/1 yes; 8/11 no

Connor Already Odds On To Be Thrown To The Wolves By Next Season!

Wolves have today announced Terry Connor as their manager until the end of the season but whether Wolves stay up or go down (5/4 stay up / 4/7 relegation), William Hill are odds on at 8/11 that he is not in charge on the first day of next season (Even money to still be there). A new manager can often galvanise a push up the table but Hills offer 50/1 that they finish in the top half of the table, 9/2 11th – 14th and 2/1 15th – 17th.

Wolves are 5/1 to win Connor’s first match in charge and are 8/1 to finish the weekend at the foot of the table. Wigan are the 4/9 favourites, with Bolton 5/2, Blackburn 10/1 and QPR 25/1.

“We feel that Connor may well be in a lose/lose situation. Should he keep Wolves up, he may have to make way for a more experienced man and should they go down, he may have to leave for not being good enough,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Bridge Beginning To Bend Under Weight Of Expectation

Andre Villas Boas is under intense pressure at Chelsea and should things not go his way against Bolton on Saturday, he could be on his way. William Hill make him 4/1 to have left Chelsea by midnight on Saturday and 3/1 to have left before the kick off of the second leg of the Champions League tie against Napoli. He is odds on at 2/5 to no longer be at Chelsea on the first day of next season.

Villas Boas 3/1 To Be Out Of A Job Come Second Leg

Chelsea showed some signs of improvement despite losing to Napoli but despite this, William Hill now make Andre Villas Boas 3/1 to have left the Blues by the time the second leg starts. He is 2/5 to have left Chelsea by the start of next season (7/4 to still be there). Vitally, Chelsea bagged an away goal and Hills are offering 5/1 that they qualify by the away goals rule, while Napoli are 20/1 to do so. Chelsea are 7/4 to qualify while Napoli are 2/5.

“Villas Boas is walking a knife edge, but while his team showed improvement, he may not be in position to resurrect Chelsea’s Euro hopes in two weeks time,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Fernando Torres did not feature at all in Naples and he is 13/8 to have left Chelsea by the start of next season (4/9 to still be there).

William Hill Odds:

AVB to be in his current position on the first day of the 2012/13 Premiership season? Yes = 7/4 No = 2/5

AVB to no longer be in his current position by kick off of second leg v Napoli = 3/1

Torres to still be at Chelsea on the first day of the 2012/13 Premiership season (loans count as ‘no’)? Yes = 4/9 No = 13/8

Chelsea to qualify 7/4, Napoli to qualify 2/5

Chelsea to qualify via away goals rule = 5/1

Napoli to qualify via away goals rule = 20/1
