One for Premier League fans. If anyone gets the heads up, let us know.
The imminent departure of Fulham manager Roy Hodgson to Liverpool later this week has left a vacancy to fill at Craven Cottage, and bookies Victor Chandler had made Alan Curbishley the 5/2 favourite to bag the position. But that was before he was backed this morning and the firm now are as short as 5/4.
“It didn’t take long for the 5/2 to be snapped up, and we had to take evasive action.” said VC spokesman Neal Wilkins. “We felt he’d be the favourite to get the job, but we didn’t know how short to be. It seems the 5/2 might be a decent price now.”
There were strong rumours about Sven Goran Eriksson taking over at Craven Cottage, and the firm make him the third favourite at 6/1. Mark Hughes is sandwiched between them at 4/1. Other names in the hat include Glenn Hoddle, Slaven Bilic and Manuel Pelligrini. The job will appeal to many managers as Hodgson has built a terrific platform for the future and Fulham’s future looks reasonably bright.
“The one dilemma I suppose for potential managers is that Roy Hodgson will be a hard act to follow, and some might sit this one out.” added Wilkins.

Next West Ham manager odds
GRANT ODDS ON WITH CHANDLER FOR HAMMERS JOB
Victor Chandler make Portsmouth manager, Avram Grant the early favourite to take over as boss at West Ham Utd after Gianfranco Zola was sacked earlier today.
Grant is just 2/5 to take the Upton Park hot seat after impressing with his stint at Fratton Park – leading Pompey to this weekend’s FA Cup final despite the club’s financial turmoil.
“We’ve already seen money for Avram Grant and have now cut him to just 2/5 for the job. Most punters seem to think that the Cup final will be his final game at Pompey.
He probably doesn’t fancy a stint in the Championship,” said VC spokesman, Dave Jenkins.
Slaven Bilic is second favourite at 6/1, although the former Hammer would have to free himself from his contract with the Croatian national team. Two former West Ham managers, Alan Pardew (9/1) and Alan Curbishley (12/1) are also in the betting along with Zola’s assistant Steve Clarke (10/1) and former Man City manager, Mark Hughes (10/1).
One man Chandler’s don’t think will be going back to Upton Park, despite his availability is Paul Ince. An unpopular figure in East London ever since leaving for Man Utd some 21 years ago, Ince can be backed at 100/1 to take over at the Boleyn Ground.

Lionel Messi vs Wayne Rooney goals
This is the latest from Victor Chandler in the UK. It's an interesting market and I'm no genius on Premier League, but Messi is deserved favourite for mine.
Wording as released by the bookmaker is below:
There are two world class strikers on everyone’s lips at the moment, Wayne Rooney and Lionel Messi, and Victor Chandler have opened a market on which one will score the most goals in the Champions League from the Quarter Final stage onwards.
If both Man United and Barcelona get through to the Semi Finals they will avoid each other and many people consider them favourites to contest the Final in Madrid. Messi is the 11/10 favourite with VC and Rooney is 6/4, with the tie at 7/2.
“Rooney and Messi are a class apart at the moment, and their respective clubs will be looking to them to carry on scoring for the remainder of the tournament.” said VC spokesman Neal Wilkins.
“It should be a fascinating contest to see who’ll bag the most goals.”

Gianfranco Zola to stay at West Ham
Here's some latest markets in the English Premier League. The 40% return for Zola could be worth taking, but as regular followers of this blog will know, we rarely advise that people take any odds under $1.50.
THE STAR OF DAVIDS?
Victor Chandler make it a 2/5 shot that Gianfranco Zola is still the West Ham manager on June 1st after David Sullivan and David Gold gave the Italian their backing as they took over the East End club today. The firm go 7/4 that he gets the bullet.
“It’s a well worn joke that when the chairman gives a manager his backing it means the exact opposite, but we feel that the two David’s are sincere in their wish to see Zola succeed at Upton Park.” said VC spokesman Neal Wilkins.
“That said Zola still has to do the business on the park, and if the Hammers don’t start climbing the table soon then Gold and Sullivan might have no option but to change things.”
The firm also make it a 5/6 shot that the Hammers get over 20.5 Premier League points from now until the end of the season, and the same price that they don’t manage that points tally.

Brian Laws at 9/1 to leave
Wigan to concede the most goals seems like value. Here's the latest press release from Victor Chandler:
Victor Chandler have installed Brian Laws at 9/1 to be the next Premier League manager to leave his post, and just 5/2 that they finish bottom this season after he was given the nod as Burnley’s new boss, and the firm admit that it was an appointment that took them by surprise.
“This seems a bizarre selection and we fear for the club during the rest of the season.” said VC spokesman Dave Jenkins.
“It seems that everything that Coyle had built up could collapse and we really feel they’ll struggle to adapt. Laws is not renowned for his passing football. I hope the Clarets fans have their neck braces ready because it won’t be pretty from now on. This could well end in tears.”
The firm also make Burnley the 7/4 favourites now to concede the most goals this season. They have conceded 40 goals so far closely followed in the betting by Hull City (42) at 2/1 and by Wigan (44) at 5/2.

Football tip: Get on Manchester City
If you're looking for a longer term investment, Manchester City is a fantastic bet.
A great win at the weekend might mean they're finally putting early-season criticism behind them to produce the results everybody was expecting.
Yes, it does take time for a team to gel. It might just be starting to happen, and with 8.5 points start, it's a great bet.
I'm not as convinced about Everton or Tottenham.
Victor Chandler have opened up several season handicap match bets featuring some old city rivals in the Premier League. They have matched up Man United with Man City, Liverpool with Everton and Arsenal with Tottenham. VC’s spokesman Neal Wilkins thinks that the underdogs in the bets will be the most popular.
“We suspect that we’ll be laying Man City, Everton and Tottenham. City look quite menacing at the moment whereas United seem to be floundering a bit, Everton are slowly getting their act together and Tottenham look like they are only going to improve as the season goes on.”
Man City are getting a handicap of +8.5 points over United, Everton are getting +19.5 points against their city rivals, and Tottenham receive +11.5 against their arch enemies.

Premier League goal scores
If someone said at the beginning of the season that they'd give you better than even money on Chelsea scoring most goals this season - oh, and they'd give you eight goals head start - you'd probably take it.
The same scenario exists now, and we're well into the season. I intentionally don't edit many press releases, so here's the latest from Victor Chandler:
Man City are now 7/1 to be the Premier League highest scorers with Victor Chandler after bagging four goals in last night’s convincing victory over Blackburn. City have now hit the net 42 times in the Premier League so far this season, but are still some way behind the leaders Arsenal who have netted 53.
“The Gunners are clear favourites with 53 goals, but the pack are quite capable of mounting a challenge.” said VC spokesman Neal Wilkins. “It only takes a couple of big wins and the whole complexion changes.”
Man United are currently in second place with 46 goals, closely followed by Chelsea on 45. Man City and Tottenham are next best on 42, with Liverpool on 37.

How will Darren Ferguson hold up?
Neal, quoted below, is our guest tipster this weekend. He's actively promoting new markets for Victor Chandler. And given there's no racing, all attention is being put on the football.
This is their latest release:
Victor Chandler have opened a market on whether Darren Ferguson will gain more Championship points than Alan Irvine. They make Ferguson a 4/6 chance to out score his fellow manager at Sheffield Wednesday in the remaining 23 matches of the season. Irvine is the outsider at 11/10.
“It will be interesting to see how the two men fare in the rest of the season.” said VC spokesman Neal Wilkins. “Both have 23 matches left with a total of 69 points up for grabs, and we suspect that it’ll be close.”
Preston fired Alan Irvine and replaced him with Darren Ferguson, whereas Irvine soon picked up the vacant managers position at Sheffield Wednesday, and both managers will be desperate to push their new clubs up the league.

Darren Ferguson 4/6
Alan Irvine 11/10
Points gained just from remaining 23 matches from 09/01/10 to end of season.

Who will score the most goals in the Premier League?
This is the latest release from Victor Chandler in the UK. Tottenham has to be value?
Victor Chandler have opened a market on who’ll score the most goals in the Premier League this season.
At the moment Chelsea and Arsenal are neck and neck on 36 goals a piece, and the firm feel it’s going to be between these two.
“We are making Chelsea the slight favourites but it’s difficult to call.” said VC Spokesman Neal Wilkins.
“Losing Van Persie is a big blow for Arsenal, but Chelsea will also lose players to the African Nations Cup so they might not be so prolific as they have been. That said it’s difficult to see anyone getting close to these two over the season.”
Man United are next in the betting at 5/1 with Liverpool on 10’s and Tottenham on 14’s. United have scored 30 goals so far, Liverpool are on 31 and Tottenham have netted a total of 33.
