Martin Jol Withdraws From Race…dave Jones New Favourite For Fulham Hot Seat

The long running saga of who will be the next Fulham manager took yet another turn this morning when Martin Jol admitted he was staying with Ajax. This has seen his odds drift from 1/8 to 25/1 at William Hill in the space of four days. Conversely Hills are facing big liabilities on 5/2 favourite Dave Jones taking the hot seat having previously quoted him at up to 25/1. Sven Goran Eriksson also seems keen on a return to the Premiership and is now the 9/2 second favourite. Alan Curbishley and Bob Bradley are the 9/1 joint third favourites.

“Some far sighted punters could be in for a big windfall, having backed Dave Jones at 25/1, but the likely sticking point could prove to be the issue of compensation to Cardiff City. We are expecting this saga to continue for a little while longer and could still see an outsider take the job,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Odds:

Next Fulham Manager: 5/2 Dave Jones; 9/2 Sven Goran Eriksson; 9/1 Alan Curbishley; 9/1 Bob Bradley; 10/1 Mark Hughes; 10/1 Gianfranco Zola; 12/1 Otmar Hitzfeld; 14/1 Ray Lewington; 14/1 Stuart Baxter; 16/1 Lee Clark; 20/1 Bar

Two Punters £10,000 Better Off After Spurs Hit Nine

Football fans land £10,000 windfall:
PUNTERS ON CLOUD NINE THANKS TO SPURS

TWO FOOTBALL FANS will collect over ten thousand pounds between them from William Hill after placing a bet with them at the start of the Premier League season that any one club in the division would score NINE or more goals in one match during the season.
When Spurs hit nine against Wigan on Sunday, Dan Turner,27, collected £6700 from Hills for his £100 bet at odds of 66/1, while Jamie Smalley, 28, is £3350 better off after staking £50 at 66/1.
Neither of the flatmates from South East London supports Spurs – banker, Dan, who is a Chelsea fan, and entrepreneur Jamie who runs the ‘Cheeky Butler’ company (www.cheekybutlers.com) follows Liverpool.
‘The lads approached us pre-season with the idea for their bet, which they had come up with when Middlesbro hit eight past Manchester City a couple of seasons back, and we were happy to offer them 66/1, which they accepted – I can’t see us being as generous next season if they want the bet again, and we’re definitely taking Wigan boss Roberto Martinez off our Christmas card list!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
**WILLIAM HILL now offer 40/1 that any Premiership side will hit 10 or more goals in a Premier League game this season – and offer 11/1 that any single Prem match will have an aggregate of 11 or more goals this season.
**JERMAIN DEFOE is now 11/4 favourite for this season’s Golden Boot with William Hill who also make him 13/8 to start England’s first World Cup match and 4/9 not to. Hills offer 66/1 that any player will score 6 or more in a Prem game this season.
Drogba is 10/3 second favourite to win the Golden Boot with Hills who also offer 7/2 Torres; 11/2 Bent; 8/1 Rooney; 16 Van Persie; 20 Anelka; Adebayor.
