WILL IPSWICH FANS STAY KEANE ON ROY?
WITH IPSWICH struggling without a win in the Championship relegation zone, William Hill are offering odds of 5/6 that Roy Keane will cease to be their manager before the end of the season, and 5/6 that he is still in place on the final day of the campaign. ‘Keane was greeted like a conquering hero when he arrived at the club but there are reports of the side being booed off in recent matches and without a win to show for their efforts so far Roy needs a rapid turnaround in form if he is to avoid an ignominious early exit. As our odds suggest we believe that it could go either way for him’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills have cut Ipswich to 8/1 to be relegated from 40/1 at the start of the season. ‘Everyone is assuming that they are too good and have too much money to go down. But the fate of Leeds, Norwich and Southampton suggests that that’s not certain to be the case’ said Sharpe.
MESSI HEADS CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TOP SCORER MARKET
WOLFSBURG striker Grafite, who hit a hat trick in his side’s Champions League game in midweek, is now 7/1 second favourite with William Hill to end up as the Champions League top scorer – for which Hills make Messi 13/2 favourite, and also offer: 8/1 Ronaldo; Torres; 9 Benzema; 10 Ibrahimovic; 14 Anelka; Eto’o; Rooney; 20 Drogba; Gerrard; Henry; Raoul. ‘Grafite leads the way, but as 80/1 shots his club may not be around in the latter stages of the tournament. We expect one of the big names to end up as top scorer in the competition’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
**AFTER Arsenal came back from two down to beat Standard Liege, William Hill make them 9/1 to win the Champions League – and 33/1 to meet Chelsea in an all London Final.
