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 Hills 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

SCOTS BETTING ON INDEPENDENCE YES VOTE

WILLIAM HILL have cut their odds from 3/1 to 5/2 that the Scots will vote in favour of independence when they get the opportunity to do so in a Referendum. And Hills offer 4/11 that the Referendum will take place in 2014 and 7/1 that the country will become independent by 2020.
Although the betting suggests an ultimate no to independence at any Referendum, the money we have taken is almost all for a yes vote- and every bet struck since David Cameron spoke on the issue has been for yes. said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS OFFER 2/5 THAT ONLY THOSE AGED 18 OR OVER WILL BE PERMITTED TO VOTE IN THE REFERENDUM, 7/4 THAT THE AGE LIMIT WILL BE LOWERED FROM THAT.

Manchester City and United both picked up vital away victories and William Hill make them 12/1 (in from 20/1) to meet in the Europa League Final. Manchester City are now 1/20 to progress to the next stage of the competition (Porto 8/1) while Manchester United are 1/50 (Ajax 12/1).

Stoke had a pretty tough time of it against Valencia at the Britannia and they are 8/1 to qualify (1/20 Valencia).

Manchesters United and City are the favourites for the whole competition and should they avoid each other in the latter rounds and continue to play the way that they both did tonight, there is no reason why they cannot meet in the final of this competition, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Manchester City are 3/1 favourites to win the Europa League with Manchester United 4/1; Valencia 8/1; Atletico Madrid 10/1; Schalke 12/1 and PSV 16/1. Stoke are 100/1 to lift the trophy.

Warnock Warning For Bookies

February 19, 2012 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments 163, Bets, Bookies, Elland Road, Football Job, Footy, Grayson, Greenside, Joe Crilly, Leeds Utd, London N22, Mick Mccarthy, Neil Warnock, Punters, Qpr, Redfearn, Sheffield Utd, Top Job, William Hill, Williamhill

LEEDS PUNTERS LUMP ON EX BLADE FOR TOP JOB

Neil Warnock has been the subject of a large gamble in Leeds to get the citys top football job. Vacant since Simon Grayson departed, Warnock had been as big as 9/2 when Lee Clark left Huddersfield and became favourite for the job, but having been well supported today, in and around Leeds, both online and in shops. Bets of up to £500 were being placed all day on Friday on Warnock getting the job.

The Ex QPR and Sheffield Utd boss is now 1/3 firm favourite to take the Elland Road hotseat ahead of Lee Clark at 11/2, Billy Davies and Mick McCarthy at 8/1 and Steve Bruce at 9/1.

Whether this is punters in the know or punters hoping that Warnock will get the job, we are not sure, but it would appear that Warnock is the name on everybodys lips in Leeds at the moment, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Next Permanent Leeds Utd Manager: 1/3 Neil Warnock; 11/2 Lee Clark; 8/1 Billy Davies; 8/1 Mick McCarthy; 9/1 Steve Bruce; 14/1 Neil Redfearn; 20/1 BAR
