4/1 All Manchester Carling Cup Final

November 2, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Arsenal, Cardiff, Carling Cup, Carling Cup Final, Crystal Palace, Favourites, Footy, Greenside, Joe Crilly, Liverpool, London N22, Manchester City, Manchester United, Outsiders, Premier League, Quarter Finals, Semis, Spokesman, William Hill, Williamhill

Manchester United are the 15/8 favourites to win this years Carling Cup, ahead of Manchester City at 3/1. With the two Manchester sides hogging the top two spots in the Premier League, the pair are 4/1 to meet in the final of the Cup. With two non-Premier League sides still in the competition, they are understandably outsiders to win with Cardiff 16/1 and Crystal Palace 66/1.

Manchester United and City have been on top form this season and it is feasible to envisage the pair meeting in the Final, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Arguably the stand out tie of the Quarter Finals is the Arsenal Manchester City match and Hills make City 8/13 to qualify for the Semis, with Arsenal 6/5.

Quarter Finals Who Will Qualify:
6/5 Arsenal; 8/13 Manchester City
1/2 Chelsea; 6/4 Liverpool
1/16 Manchester United; 7/1 Crystal Palace
5/6 Cardiff; 5/6 Blackburn

Carling Cup Outright: 15/8 Manchester United; 3/1 Manchester City; 9/2 Chelsea; 6/1 Liverpool; 7/1 Arsenal; 12/1 Blackburn; 16/1 Cardiff; 66/1 Crystal Palace

£2.5k Says Oneill Is Going Back To Leicester

November 1, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Alan Curbishley, Alan Shearer, Carlo Ancelotti, Culmination, Didier Deschamps, Footy, Gianfranco Zola, Greenside, Joe Crilly, London N22, Mark Hughes, Mark Robins, Martin O Neill, Nigel Worthington, Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, Punter, Rafael Benitez, Roy Keane, William Hill, Williamhill

William Hill have slashed the odds of Martin ONeill becoming the next manager of Leicester following a Liverpool punter backing him to get the gig to the tune of £2500. ONeill is far and away the most likely candidate to get the job with Hills making him 1/4 from 2/5. His next closest rival in the betting is Mark Hughes at 3/1.

Almost all of the early money has been for ONeill to return to his spiritual home and this bet has been the culmination of a 24 hour mega gamble, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Leicester Next Boss: 1/4 Martin ONeill; 3/1 Mark Hughes; 8/1 Lee Clark; 9/1 Rafael Benitez; 10/1 Billy Davies; 20/1 Roy Keane; 20/1 Simon Grayson; 20/1 Mark Robins; 20/1 Ole Gunnar Solksjaer; 20/1 Ian Holloway; 20/1 Dave Jones; 20/1 Alan Shearer; 20/1 Avram Grant; 20/1 Gianfranco Zola; 20/1 Carlo Ancelotti; 20/1 Alan Curbishley; 20/1 Didier Deschamps; 20/1 Nigel Worthington; 25/1 BAR

Wednesday Carling Cup…20/1 Sven To Follow In Nancys Footsteps

Sven Goran Eriksson is currently looking for a job following his release from Leicester and William Hill are offering 2/1 that he manages any International side, while he is 6/1 to make a return to the Premier League. Sven arguably had most success in Italy and he is 6/1 to return. Having seen the relative success of Nancy DelOlio on Strictly Come Dancing, Hills offer 20/1 that he takes part in Strictly 2012.

There will be no lack of interest from sides all around the world hoping to secure Svens services although he may decide to have a change of scenery in his next endeavours, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Martin ONeill is the 2/5 favourite to replace Sven at the Walkers although there has been a fair amount of support for Rafael Benitez who has been backed in from 25/1 to 9/1.

With four Carling Cup matches taking place on Wednesday, Hills make Manchester City 15/8 to follow up their thrashing of United by being the highest scoring team.

Where Will Sven Go Next: 2/1 International team; 6/1 Premier League Team; 6/1 Italian Team; 10/1 Spanish Team; 14/1 Championship Team; 6/4 Any Other Team
