Will Peter Crouch To The Euro Occasions?

Bookmakers William Hill have opened a book on how many of England's final six Euro Qualifiers Peter Crouch will start, following his impressive display for Liverpool against Arsenal in which he scored twice in the first half.

William Hill offer 13/2 that he will start five or six, 2/1 that he starts three or four, 13/8 one or two, and 13/8 none at all.

with a groundswell of support for David Beckham to return to the England team beginning to build up, William Hill are offering 11/4 that he is back in the side for the next Euro qualifying game (1/ 4 that he is not), against Estonia, and 9/4 that he plays a part in any one of the remaining six qualifiers (1/3 that he does not).

William Hill have already installed England as 2/7 favourites to win the Estonia match, for which the home side are 7/1 and the draw 2/7.

William Hill have cut the odds about Lawrie Sanchez becoming the next England manager from 100/1 to 33/1 and have made Steve McClaren 11/8 to cease to be England boss before England finish their qualifying games; and 6/5 to be gone by the time the Euro 2008 Finals start. He is 8/13 still to be in charge when the finals get underway.

William Hill believe that McClaren may be facing a threat from within his own camp - and they have installed his right hand man, Terry Venables as 5/1 joint favourite to succeed him on a permanent basis. Martin O'Neill is also 5/1 joint favourite, with Stuart Pearce 8/1 joint third favourite along with Curbishley and Scolari; they then offer: 10/1 Allardyce; Coppell; 12/1 Mourinho; 14/1Alan Shearer; 25/1 Wenger.
