"Manchester United were heavily backed all season, while a massive gamble developed on Chelsea during the last hours before the game." said William Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe. William Hill offered betting odds of 10/1 that United would win in a penalty shoot out. Drogba Out? After Drogba's sending off, William Hill offer odds of 4/7 that he will have left Chelsea by the start of next season and 5/4 he is still there. The bookies have immediately installed Manchester United as 5/1 favourites to win the Champions League again next season, and make Chelsea 11/2 second favourites. William Hill are offering odds of 2/5 that the Champions League Final was Avram Grant's last as Chelsea boss - and 7/4 that he will still be Stamford Bridge supremo at the start of the next campaign. The bookies offer 11/2 that Sir Alex Ferguson will stand down as Manchester United manager before the first day of next season, and 1/10 that he will still be there when the next campaign gets underway. |
