Germany destroyed a pathetic England side 4-1 and it could easily have been much worse if David James hadn't made some excellent saves. William Hill, who made Fabio 7/4 (2.75) to be gone by midnight after the match, are already betting on Capello's successor and make Harry Redknapp 7/4 (2.75) favourite. "We offer odds of 1/3 (1.33)that the next England manager will be English." said William Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe. "At least, if he isn't let's hope he can speak English. William Hill alone would have been at least £7 million worse off as a result of England winning the World Cup. It was the result we feared but it now appears that patriotic punters fell for Fabio Capello's unfounded optimism that England would somehow produce form they had never showed at any other time and manage to win the World Cup." The bookmaking industry was staring down the barrel of its biggest payout ever of over £50 million but England's hopeless overpaid players have saved the bookies a fortune. "Even the disallowed goal now looks like a hollow excuse after England's abject collapse in the second half." said William Hill's spokesman. "We are now optimistic that Fabio will have the decency to quit." |
