FOREST 11/2 TO GO DOWN, 20/1TO GO UP

MANAGER-less Nottingham Forest could move for MK Dons boss Karl Robinson to succeed Steve McClaren, believe bookmakers William Hill who have installed the young manager as 15/8 favourite to become the next Forest supremo. Robinson is a very young manager who has made a positive impression in his time at MK Dons and punters believe he is a leading candidate to move on to Forest even though he is still comparatively inexperienced said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe, However, this is still an evolving market with no substantial bets yet being staked so it appears likely that the club has yet to identify its favoured contenders

Bookies Burned By Hottest Ever October!

The hottest ever October record temperature was broken on the first day of the month and bookmakers William Hill have been stung by an Indian Summer betting bonanza by meteorological punters. The odds of this month seeing the all time record of 29.4C (1985) had been backed in, all the way from 6/4 to 8/11 by the time that betting ceased at midnight on the 30th September.

The previous record was officially confirmed as having been smashed just after one oclock and Hills forked out a five figure sum to eager punters – no doubt on their way to buy burgers and bangers for a final Barbie of the year, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly. We must have been the only people in the country praying for wind and rain.

A last minute Valencia penalty denied Brit backers a Champions League double tonight. William Hill offer 11/8 that Manchester United are the furthest progressing British side and depite their draw, Chelsea are 9/4 second favourites.

“English punters will have been disappointed by the collective capitulation of both Manchester City and United, and Chelsea’s last minute concession will have done little to lighten the mood ,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills are offering 5/1 that there is an all British final in this years Champions League.

All of the pre game talk before the Chelsea game in Valencia revolved around Frank Lampard and he will have done no damage to his (purported) diminishing career by bagging Chelseas only goal at the Estadio Mestalla. Hills go 3/1 about him starting Englands game against Montenegro next month.

Furthest progressing Brit side: 11/8 Man Utd; 9/4 Chelsea; 3/1 Man City; 6/1 Arsenal

Tevez On The Move In January…4/9 Never To Start For City Again

Carlos Tevez has attempted to build bridges with Roberto Mancini but William Hill do not think that his excuses will fly with the City boss and make the former captain 4/9 to fail to start a single game for City in the Premier League this season. His exit from City would appear to be edging ever closer and Hills make Juventus the 11/4 favourites to be the next side to capture his signature. He is 4/1 to sign for Corinthians, while he is 6/1 to join either Inter or AC Milan.

Tevez appears to have made his bed and City will now be desperate to get rid of him, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly. It would seem that he will not feature in a City starting XI ever again and Turin may be his most likely destination.

Carlos Tevez:

To start a Premier League game for Manchester City: 13/8 yes; 4/9 no

Next Club: 11/4 Juventus; 4/1 Corinthians; 6/1 AC Milan; 6/1 Inter Milan; 7/1 Real Madrid; 8/1 PSG; 12/1 Napoli; 16/1 Chelsea; 20/1 Arsenal; 20/1 Barcelona; 25/1 Boca Juniors…(others on request, loan deals count)

City have now failed to win in two matches and are 7/4 to now finish third in Group A with top spot a drifting 9/2. Carlos Tevez refused to come off the bench and play for City in Munich and Hills offer 11/4 that he does not start another Premier League game for City this season.

A disappointing evening was rounded off by Tevez refusing to come off the bench and the odds suggest that Mancini may well have finally lost patience with Citys former captain, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Despite the setback at Old Trafford, Manchester United are the 13/8 favourites to progress the furthest of all the British sides in this years Champions League. An all Manchester Final is 40/1.
