McClaren 13/2 To Be Gone By Saturday Midnight

$$$Bookmakers William Hill are offering odds of 13/2 that Steve McClaren will cease to be England manager before midnight on Saturday, following England's game against Israel.

McClaren is 2/1 with William Hill to be out of his job when the Euro 2008 finals get underway and England are 2/5 to qualify for those finals and 7/4 not to.

The bookies have already installed Martin O'Neill and Terry Venables as 5/1 joint favourites to succeed McClaren as permanent manager of the England side. Stuart Pearce is 6/1 third favourite with William Hill, who also offer 8/1 Curbishley; Scolari; 10/1 Allardyce; Coppell; 12/1 Mourinho; 14/1 Alan Shearer.

Meanwhile, McClaren has been installed as 5/1 third favourite to be the next 'home' international boss to leave his role, with Hills making Lawrie Sanchez of Northern Ireland 10/11 favourite ahead of the Republic's Steve Staunton, who is 13/8 second favourite while John Toshack of Wales is 7/1 and 'new boy' Alex McLeish of Scotland the 20/1 outsider.

William Hill are quoting England at 11/10 to keep a double clean sheet in their two Euro qualifiers against Israel and Andorra. They are 2/1 to concede just one goal in the two games; 7/2 two; 8/1 three; 40/1 four or more.

Andy Johnson is a 1/ 2 chance with William Hill to start both of England's Euro qualifiers against both Israel and Andorra. He is 6/4 to fail to start both, and Hills offer 9/4 that David Nugent will play any part in the Israel game.

The bookmakers have also opened a book on how many goals England will score in the two goals and offer 5/2 for three or less; 11/10 for 4 - 6; and 7/4 seven or over.

England are 8/11 to take all six points from the two games; 7/4 to take four; 7/2 three; 25/1 two; 25/1 one; 250/1 none.

William Hill have opened a book on whether certain England players will play the whole game against Israel at the weekend. The bets depend on the players starting, and Hills offer 1/5 that Jamie Carragher will last the whole game, 10/3 that he doesn't; 1/4 that Steven Gerrard will, 11/4 that he won't; 2/7 Owen Hargreaves does; 5/2 he doesn't; 1/ 2 Rooney does, 6/4 doesn't; 5/6 Johnson does; 5/6 he doesn't.

William Hill have installed England as 8/11 favourites to win their vital Euro qualifying game in Israel this weekend - with the home side 7/2 and the draw a 21/10 chance.
