O’neill To Be Bruce’s Replacement? Carling Cup Specials…

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Steve Bruce’s days appear numbered at Sunderland and the William Hill sack race betting remains suspended for the foreseeable future. Hills are betting on who will be next through the doors at the Stadium of Light. Martin O’Neill is the 5/4 favourite while former Liverpool boss, Rafa Benitez, is 6/1. Former Sunderland player and current Huddersfield boss, Lee Clark is third favourite at 9/1.

“Martin O’Neill is linked to almost every high profile job in English football but appears to have been biding his time until the right offer comes along,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “The odds would suggest that were Sunderland to come calling, he might make his much anticipated return to Premier League management.”

William Hill make the game between Manchester United and Crystal Palace the 11/8 favourite to be the highest scoring Carling Cup Quarter Final game with the tie between Arsenal and Manchester City the 9/4 second favourite. United are 13/8 favourites to be the top scorers during the week and 11/4 to score the fastest goal.

Next Sunderland Manager: 5/4 Martin O’Neill; 6/1 Rafa Benitez; 9/1 Lee Clark; 10/1 Mark Hughes; 14/1 Bob Bradley; 16/1 Dave Jones; 16/1 Steve McLaren; 16/1 Carlo Ancelotti; 16/1 Ole Gunnar Solksjaer; 16/1 Stuart Pearce; 20/1 Alan Curbishley; 20/1 Sean O’Driscoll; 20/1 Gareth Southgate; 25/1 David Moyes; 25/1 Glenn Hoddle; 25/1 Sven Goran-Eriksson; 33/1 Gianfranco Zola; 33/1 Peter Reid; 33/1 Roy Keane…others on request

6/1 Megson To Be Last Prem Boss To Go This Season

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

6/1 MEGSON TO BE LAST PREM BOSS TO GO THIS SEASON

William Hill have opened a book on how many more Premier League managers will follow Gary Megson out of their psitions this season – and offer 6/1 that he will be the last to go. ‘With the January transfer window looming up, clubs may consider that there is little point switching managers afterwards, so if we don’t see more departures within the next few weeks that may just be it for the season. However, chairmen are also capable of coming up with different reasons for disposing of out of favour managers, so I suspect we’ll take plenty of money at 20/1 for another four or more to go – particularly as several clubs appear to have severe financial problems.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills – HOW MANY MORE PREM BOSSES WILL GO BEFORE END OF CAMPAIGN?
0 6/1
1 11/10
2 7/4
3 7/1
4+ 20/1

WILL PAUL LOVE TO GO A-WANDERING DOWN BOLTON WAY?

PAUL JEWELL has been backed down to favouritism to become the next Bolton manager with William Hill who now make him an 11/4 shot from an opening 5/1 to get the job full-time and also offer: 9/2 Peter Reid; 5/1 Mark Hughes; 7/1 Darren Ferguson; 10/1 Alan Curbishley; Gary Speed; 12/1 Owen Coyle; 14/1 Steve Coppell; 16/1 Iain Dowie; Alan Irvine; Gareth Southgate. ‘As with most situations of this nature, this has been a volatile market early on, but Jewell and Reid have both come in for significant support as the day has gone on’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

REID MY LIPS – PETER BEST BACKED BOLTON BOY

PETER REID has been the heaviest backed contender for the Bolton job with William Hill who have now cut his odds from 10/1 when the book opened on Wednesday, to 9/4 favourite. ‘Reid is now a potential four figure loser for us after a flurry of support during the day, but he is still not being backed as though he was on the verge of taking the job, so we think this race has some way to go yet’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Favourite when the day started, Paul Jewell is now Hill’s 4/1 second favourite, and they also offer 6/1 Darren Ferguson; 7/1 Mark Hughes; 10/1 Alan Curbishley Owen Coyle; 14/1 Gary Speed; 16/1 Steve Coppell; Ian Dowie; Walter Zenga.
