MARTINEZ OUT ODDS COLLAPSE

Roberto Martinez has been backed from 16/1 to 2/1 second favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave his club with William Hill who make Steve Kean 11/10 favourite with Steve Bruce at 11/4; Mick McCarthy 5/1; Owen Coyle 6/1. Given Martinez decision to stay with Wigan rather than go to Villa last season we have never felt he was under much pressure despite adverse results, but of course, it is always possible that he may decide to walk away should results not improve soon said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe, So when punters began to back him to be the next boss to go we had to act.
HILLS MAKE MARTINEZ 5/6 TO BE WIGAN BOSS ON THE FIRST DAY OF NEXT SEASON, 5/6 NOT TO.

NEW Doncaster signing El Hadji-Diouf is 2/1 with William Hill to be sent off during his three month stint at the club. (Bets run until Jan 31, 2012 and are for 1st team competitive games only)

Chelsea were destroyed at home by Arsenal and William make Andre Villas-Boas 9/4 to no longer be in charge of Chelsea come the start of next season. On the other hand, Arsenal appear to have turned a corner and Arsene Wenger is 2/7 to start next season as Arsenal manager. Despite winning, Arsenals defensive woes continued and Hills make them 6/4 to concede 51 to 60 goals and 5/2 to concede 51-60. They are 33/1 to concede over 80 this Premier League season.

Chelsea have now registered two straight defeats and should this run continue, Villas Boas could find himself signing on come the start of next season a la Ancelotti, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Robin van Persie scored his second hat-trick of the season and Hills are offering 2/5 that he scores over 20 Premier League goals this season while Frank Lampard, who scored once more, is 4/1 to bag 20 or more Premier League goals.

Arsenal Premier League goals conceded this season: 9/1 under 40; 9/4 41-50; 6/4 51-60; 5/2 61-70; 12/1 71-80; 33/1 over 80

Van Persie 20 or more Premier League goals this season: 2/5 yes; 7/4 no

Frank Lampard 20 or more Premier League goals this season: 4/1 yes; 1/7 no

Still in charge 1st game of next season:

Wenger: 2/7 yes; 5/2 no

Villas Boas: 1/3 yes; 9/4 no

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

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

Stuart Pearce and Hope Powell have been confirmed as the coaches of the Team GB football sides for the 2012 Olympics and William Hill offer 5/6 that no non-English players line up in Stuart Pearces first match in charge. 4/1 is offered for one to take to the field while it is 5/1 for four or more to do so. David Beckham has already announced his desire to play in the Olympics and he is 4/7 to be called into the squad. He is 7/4 to start the first match and 7/2 to score at any point during the tournament.

William Hill offer 5/1 that Stuart Pearce leads the men to glory in London while Hope Powell is 8/1 to do the same for the women.

Having named their coaches, the hard work begins in earnest and the odds suggest that both sides will need to be at their very best to grab gold in London, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

With two London sides winning tonight, Hills are offering 40/1 that there is an all London Final and 25/1 that there is an all Manchester one.

You Bet Relegation Changes Will Be Booted Into Row Z

October 25, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Arsenal, Bet, Bolton, Bookies, Controversial Changes, Footy, Fulham, Greenside, Joe Crilly, Liverpool, London N22, Newcastle, Norwich, Premier League Clubs, Spokesman, West Brom, William Hill, Williamhill, Wolves

Controversial changes regarding the potential elimination of relegation from the Premier League do not look likely to be introduced anytime soon according to William Hill. The bookies offer 10/1 that relegation is abolished before the start of the 2016/17 season and go 11/2 that the number of teams relegated from the Premier League each season is reduced from three by the same date.

These proposed changes have not gone down well at all with supporters of non-Premier League clubs and we think that the FA will share these concerns and veto any approach to eliminate relegation, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Relegation Specials:

Premier League relegation to be reduced from three before the start of the 2016/17 season: 11/2 yes; 1/10 no

Premier League relegation to be abolished by the start of the 2016/17 season: 10/1 yes; 1/33 no

Premier League Relegation latest: 5/6 Wigan; 5/6 Swansea; 5/4 Blackburn; 13/8 Norwich; 5/2 QPR; 5/2 Wolves; 10/3 Bolton; 4/1 Sunderland; 6/1 West Brom; 12/1 Fulham; 12/1 Newcastle; 16/1 Everton; 25/1 Stoke; 25/1 Aston Villa; 100/1 Arsenal; 200/1 Tottenham; 500/1 Liverpool
