The latest furore surrounding Englands failed World Cup bid has led William Hill to offer 40/1 that the English FA remove themselves from FIFA before the start of the 2014 World Cup.
Despite the mud-slinging and finger pointing, the odds of 40/1 suggest that it is highly unlikely that the English FA will take the step of withdrawing from FIFA any time soon, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

*************************************William Hill MIDWEEK FOOTBALL ROUND UP*****************************************
BECKS TO BATTER FERGIE?….William Hill offer 6/1 that David Beckham will score for Spurs against Manchester United if he signs on loan for them this January. (Bets void if Beckham does not sign for Spurs)
ENGLAND ODDS-ON TO BEAT GHANA. England have been made 1/2 favourites to win their forthcoming friendly with Ghana by William Hill who make the away team a 5/1shot with the draw AT 12/5.
YOU BET KENNY IS THERE FOR LIVERPOOL LONG HAUL
KENNY DALGLISH has been backed from 13/8 to 10/11 favourite to win the manager’s job at Liverpool on a permanent basis following the club’s FA Cup defeat at Old Trafford. ‘Clearly the fact that his team conceded a first minute penalty, had their skipper sent off and failed to score has impressed punters, who haven’t wanted to back anyone else to get the job on a long-term basis’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
NEXT PERMANENT LIVERPOOL MANAGER?….10/11 Dalglish; 9/2 O’Neill; 11/2 Coyle; 6/1 Rijkaard; 7/1 Rangnick; 8/1 Villas-Boas. Others on request.
WHERE WILL LIVERPOOL FINISH IN PREM?….top 4 – 20/1; 5th-7th 11/8; 8th -10th -13/8; 11th-14th – 3/1; 15th-17th – 10/1; Bottom three – 25/1.
WILL KENNY FIND TORRES SCORING BOOTS?….With Kenny Dalglish declaring he can bring the best out of mis-firing striker Fernando Torres, William Hill are betting on how many Premier League goals he will score during the remainder of the season – and make 6 or less their 5/4 favourite. ‘Torres has not looked the same player for Liverpool since the World Cup, at which although he ended up on the winning side he was not over impressive. His form could be the key to the rest of Liverpool’s season’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills…Torres PL goals for rest of season:
6 or less

GRANT NEXT FOR MANAGERIAL HAMMERING?

Hills also offer 11/2 Houllier; 11/2 Ancelotti; 10/1 McCarthy; 16/1 Hughes; 16/1 Martinez; 20/1 Kean; Di Matteo; Mancini; No more managers to go this season. ‘Mr Grant has been favourite in this market on five different occasions so far, and managed to survive thus far, so he probably isn’t even popular with football punters in general, let alone West Ham fans at the moment’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Monday evenings Panorama exposé saw the odds of England hosting the World Cup pushed out to 3/1 with William Hill however, following a number of three figure bets, the odds have since been cut to 11/4. Not since England first threw their name into the hat have their odds been as long.
England initially expressed their interest in hosting the 2018 World Cup back in November 2005 and they were offered at 8/1. They then started to attract some tentative bets totalling around £3000, by the time England officially announced they would be entering the race, they were 4/1 shots. In February 2007 England became odds on favourites (4/6) for the first time but by March the English bid was back out to 6/4. The English odds hovered around Evens until November 2009 when Dave Richards handed in his resignation as Chairman of the Premier League and the odds were eased out to 11/4, however the announcement of the potential English stadia saw the odds slashed to 7/4.
Since the bid was handed over by David Beckham in January of this year, England have remained favourites at one point as short as 8/11, however when the Times uncovered the FIFA cash for votes scandal Russias bid overtook them for the first time.
Englands odds have fluctuated massively over the course of the last five years but as it stands England are still our biggest loss but we would be more than happy to pay out on football coming home. In the long run, a domestic World Cup would see turnover break all World Cup betting records, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
How The Odds Have Changed:
5th November 2005 Initial interest 8/1
20th January 2007 Official Bid Announcement 4/1
12th February 2007 First Odds-On 4/6
24th November 2009 Dave Richards resigns as Chairman of the Premier League 11/4
7th January 2010 Potential English Stadia announced 7/4

Punters Celebrate 440/1 Premier League Accumulator…
William Hills Will Both Teams Score coupon has proved a staggering success with punters since it was first launched in August 2009. For the first time since the coupons inception, Hills have had to pay out on all twenty Premier League teams scoring. Already, from a standing start, the bet regularly takes more money than perennial football favourite the correct score.
As the first mainstream bookmaker to offer the bet and one of the few to offer customers the option of betting on whether individual teams will or will not score, we were optimistic that it would prove popular, but it has exceeded all expectations and is now even out-performing the correct score turnover, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
The bet is not just limited to Premier League fixtures and punters can supplement their selections with games from the top four English divisions as well as SPL and FA Cup ties as well. Despite the fact that Blackburns Christopher Samba had a face like thunder when he headed in his consolation goal against Manchester United at the weekend, William Hill punters will have been all smiles as he completed a clean sweep on Saturday. Punters who backed all 20 sides to score will be wanting to kiss Martin Skrtel (although how pleased he will be about it is another matter) who completed the weekends scoring by netting at both ends at White Hart Lane!
This weekend was a real headache for us as the price for all twenty teams to score was over 440/1 but the coupon is proving a real success. Most other bets would have been dead when Blackburn were 7-0 down on Saturday but it still gave our punters something to shout about. We will be hoping for a different outcome this weekend, however, when the price is 555/1 for all 20 to score, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
Englands World Cup Bid Going Down The Panorama?
Panorama are set to broadcast their controversial show on the World Cup bribing scandal tonight despite claims that it could harm Englands bid to host the competition. As it stands Russia are the 4/6 favourites to win the chance to host the 2018 World Cup with England the 9/4 second favourites.
At the moment England are the second favourites to host the 2018 World Cup but we are fully expecting their odds to change after tonights show. Which way they will go is impossible to gauge. Come tomorrow morning, England could either be back in with a shout or out of the running completely, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
William Hill World Cup 2018 Bid Odds:
4/6 Russia; 9/4 England; 3/1 Portugal & Spain; 50/1 Belgium & Holland

Sundays big match sees Liverpool take on Spurs at White Hart Lane and the fortunes of the teams two managers could not be any different. At the start of the season, both were being talked up as prospective England managers yet William Hill believe that Harry is safer than Woy and Hodgson is 2/5 to have left his job before Redknapp.

6/1 England boss to be capped against Wales……….
YOU BET FABIO WON’T BE ‘CAP’ ELLO NEXT TIME OUT!!
William Hill are offering odds of 6/1 that Fabio Capello will again be seen wearing his England baseball-style cap when England play their next Euro qualifier against Wales. ‘Even Mr Capello, with his somewhat limited understanding of the English language will have realised that some of the headlines referring to his choice of headwear and the outcome of the game were not complimentary’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘He may have the power to hand out caps to his players, but one suspects he won’t be planning on keeping them as a feature of his own matchday attire’
AND Hills believe that the poor result against a side which appears to have improved more since the World Cup than England, has made Fabio a10/1 shot to quit his job before the end of this year. ‘He was 33/1 to go before the end of this year when the England-France game kicked off, but he might just decide to give it up as a bad job after the result and the reaction of the Wembley crowd.’
MEANWHILE, Hills have lengthened their odds for England to both HOST the 2018 World Cup, and WIN the tournament, from 14/1 to 20/1.’Last night’s result did not point to a glorious England revival any time soon’ said Sharpe.
HARRY REDKNAPP is 2/1 favourite with William Hill to be the next permanent England manager – and Hills have shortened their odds that the next incumbent will be an Englishman from 4/9 to 4/11 following the France result, and now offer 2/1 that it will be another ‘foreigner’ or non Englishman.’The mood of the nation seems to be that the job should go to an Englishman’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
William Hill England Odds:
When will Capello leave?:
2010…10/1
2011…4/1
2012….4/11
2013 or later….11/2
CAPELLO TO WEAR ENGLAND BASEBALL CAP V WALES……6/1 YES; 1/12 NO
William Hill- Next England boss…2/1 Redknapp; 9/2 O’Neill; 5 Pearce; 11/2 Hodgson; 10 Bruce; 12 Allardyce; 14 Shearer; 16 Hiddink; Holloway; 20 Beckham; Curbishley; Mourinho; Wenger. Others on request.
William Hill offer 11/8 that just THREE or fewer of the team that started against France line up for the Three Lions next competitive fixture against Wales.
Andy Carroll is 5/2 to start the game against Wales (2/7 not to). He is 50/1 to be the leading scorer in Euro 2012.

FORLAN FOR PREM?
With Diego Forlan hinting that he may fancy a move to the Premier League, William Hill are offering 5/2 that he plays at any Premier League side during this season and 5/4 that he joins a Premier League side by the first day of next season.
Forlan was one of the undoubted stars of the World Cup and his availability would certainly alert a number of our top clubs, said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Forlan to Play in Premier League this Season: 5/2 Yes, 2/7 No.
Forlan to join a Premiership Club by the first day of next Season: 5/4 Yes, 4/7 No.
Further information from Graham Sharpe 07803 233702.
William Hill are offering 33/1 that Wayne Rooney will score in ALL SIX of England’s remaining Euro 2012 qualifying games. ‘Wayne has played extremely well in both of the qualifiers so far and the goal against Switzerland could put him back on track for a lengthy goal-scoring run for his country, particularly now he seems to have developed a good understanding with Jermain Defoe’ said HIll’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills also make both Frank Lampard odds-on shots to miss one or more of the remaining qualifiers – quoting each of them at 6/5 to play all six, and 8/13 to miss out on one or more. ‘This appears to be a crucial time for the international futures of the well established Chelsea superstars’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
