Rooney 11/4 For Increased Euro Ban As Joint Favs To Succeed Worthington

11/4 ROONEY TO GET INCREASED EURO BAN

William Hill offer 11/4 that Wayne Rooney’s one match Euro 2012 finals’ suspension will be increased, and 1/ 4 that it will remain as it is. ‘Rooney’s hopes of keeping the ban at one match appear to be boosted by the referee’s comments that he accepted his sending off without protest, and it is in England’s best interests that that is the case’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
With the possibility of an increased ban Hills have lengthened their odds for Rooney to go straight back into the starting line up for the next game for which he is eligible from 2/ 5 to 1/ 2, and have shortened the odds that he will not, from 7/4 to 6/4. ‘The more games he misses the less likely he is to come straight back in, particularly if the side does well in his absence’ said Sharpe.

**WAYNE ROONEY has been lengthened from 7/2 favourite to 9/2 second favourite to be Englan’s top scorer at the Euro 2012 Finals after his sending off means he will miss at least one game.

Paulo Sergio was today named as Jim Jeffries successor at Hearts but William Hill already have him as the 7/1 third favourite to be the next SPL boss to leave his club. He is 1/2 to still be in charge of Hearts come the final day of the season and 6/4 to have left the club by then. Hearts are 40/1 to win the SPL and 16/1 to be runners-up, although, they are even money to finish in third place.

“Paulo Sergio has walked into possibly the most volatile of positions in Scottish football and could well be looking down the barrel of the gun should his troops fail to get off to a winning start,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

How many more managers will Hearts have this season: 1/2 none, 2/1 one; 7/1 two or more

Hearts finishing position: 40/1 winner; 16/1 runner up; 1/1 third; 2/1 fourth; 6/1 fifth; 10/1 sixth; 14/1 seventh or lower
