Fergie To Quit ? You Bet Someone Thinks So

FERGIE TO QUIT? YOU BET SOMEONE THINKS SO…..

IN PERHAPS ONE of the most unexpected gambles of pre-season, William Hill have had to shorten their odds for Sir Alex Ferguson to be the next Premier League manager to leave his position, from 40/1 to 12/1.
‘We took a few bets for Fergie to be the next boss out at 40/1 , the biggest of which was just £15 from a client in Stockport, and decided to trim the odds to 25/1 but were surprised then to take several bigger bets of up to £25 from Manchester addresses. We went 16/1 and took still more, this time up to £50 bets from the Cheshire area, so he is now 12/1 seventh favourite’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘We could just be seeing a speculative punt producing a bandwagon effect, but even Fergie will have to go eventually’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL…NEXT PREM BOSS TO GO….3/1 S Kean; 8/1 M McCarthy; 10/1 S Bruce; O Coyle; R Martinez; D Moyes; 12 R Mancini; Sir A Ferguson. 100/1 No manager to leave before end of season.Others on request.

England U21s Odds On To Be Packing Bags After Czech Game…hills 2011/12 Sack Race Odds

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

England U21s need a win against the Czech Republic if they are to progress from their group and are 23/20 with William Hill to do so. They are 6/10 to fail to win and crash out of the tournament. Whatever happens, England need to score and Daniel Sturridge, one of only a few small bright spots in England’s team, is 11/2 to open the scoring in the match, while Danny Welbeck is 13/2.

“England have so far been underwhelming in the tournament and it may be down to Daniel Sturridge or Danny Welbeck to fire them into the semi finals,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Although the odds suggest that England will be packing their bags after Sunday’s game.”

Stuart Pearce is offered at 3/1 with Hills to become the Team GB manager at next year’s Olympics.

William Hill England U21 vs Czech Republic U21:

England To Be Knocked Out: 23/20 No; 6/10 Yes

Match Betting: 23/20 England; 5/2 Czech Republic; 9/4 Draw

Opening Scorer: 11/2 Daniel Sturridge; 13/2 Danny Welbeck; 13/2 Tomas Peckhart; 7/1 Libor Kozak; 9/1 Nathan Delfouneso; 9/1 Vaclav Kadlec; 9/1 Jan Charamosta; 10/1 Scott Sinclair; 10/1 Connor Wickham; 10/1 Michael Rabusic; 11/1 BAR

You Bet Rovers Will Be Kean To Get Rid Of Steve Next Season

William Hill make Steve Kean the 3/1 favourite to be the first Premier League manager to leave their position. Mick McCarty is 7/1 second favourite ahead of 9/1 Steve Bruce. “Blackburn only managed to survive on the last day of the season, having been mid table at Christmas and a vast improvement will be needed if Steve Kean does not want to be the first manager out of the door next term,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

At 66/1 Kenny Dalglish, Tony Pulis and whoever takes over the Chelsea role next, appear to be the three safest managers in the league at the minute, with Roy Hodgson, Martin Jol and Sir Alex Ferguson all offered at 40/1. For no manager to leave all season is offered at 100/1.

William Hill First Premier League Manager To Leave: 3/1 Steve Kean; 7/1 Mick McCarthy; 9/1 Steve Bruce; 10/1 Owen Coyle; 10/1 Roberto Martinez; 11/1 Roberto Mancini; 12/1 David Moyes; 14/1 Harry Redknapp; 16/1 Neil Warnock; 20/1 Alan Pardew; 20/1 Brendan Rodgers; 25/1 Alex McLeish; 33/1Paul Lambert; 33/1 Arsene Wenger; 40/1 Sir Alex Ferguson; 40/1 Martin Jol; 40/1 Roy Hodgson; 66/1 Kenny Dalglish; 66/1 Next Permanent Chelsea Manager; 66/1 Tony Pulis; 100/1 No Manager to leave all season

6/1 Mc Leish Gone By End Of Year Etc

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

6/1 McLEISH OUT BEFORE END OF YEAR?

AFTER HIS controversial appointment as Villa boss, William Hill offer 6/1 that he will leave the position before the end of 2011 but believe he will lead the club to 8th-10th position next season – which they quote at 6/4, and make them 14/1 to finish in the top four and 20/1 to go down.
Hills make Villa 13/8 to win their opening game against 11/8 Fulham with the draw a 21/10 chance. ‘It would seem to be vital for McLeish to get off to a winning start if he is to get Villa fans on his side’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL SAY THAT over a quarter of a million pounds has been gambled with them on the five recent managerial markets for Birmingham, Cardiff, Chelsea, Fulham and Villa. ‘We won a five figure sum on McLeish’s appointment and a smaller sum on Malky Mackay should he be confirmed as Cardiff boss, but lost on Martin Jol. These markets have provided us with a terrific turnover in the absence of any Premier League matches, and confirm the tremendous interest in all elements of the top division’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

When Will McLEISH Leave Villa?
2011 6/1
2012 6/4
2013 5/2
2014 4/1
