Fulham Asking Richards to Resign

It is not one of the players in the English Premier League who is currently the talk of the town. But it is the chairman of the English professional league, Sir Dave Richards, who is now everyone’s concern.

Everyone is talking about Richards as English Premier League club Fulham has been actually asking him to resign due to his alleged transfer deal involvement. The club has been insisting that Richards called Peter Crouch personally to urge him to move to Tottenham Hotspur. Last summer the top-rated striker moved from Portsmouth to Tottenham Hotspur.

Fulham officials have been saying that Crouch could have moved to a different club, not Tottenham Hotspur, if Richards did not become personally involved in the transfer. They had actually almost finalized a deal with Portsmouth for Crouch for £11 million. But they were just then surprised that the striker opted to sign up for Spurs for £9 million.

Because of what the manager said during interview with Redknapp four days before the signing of the deal, Fulham ended up thinking about possible involvement of Richards in the closing of the deal.

Manager said: “I like Crouchie a lot ,but I don’t think it will be possible for us to do it. Sunderland and Fulham are also interested. I spoke to the chairman and he felt it looked too expensive.”

Fulham officials have figured out that most likely Richards called Crouch personally to move to Tottenham Hotspur. Well, for the officials, the chairman should have taken a neutral stance if true that he called Crouch. As chairman, he should have actually avoided to side with one team or group.

But of course, we still need to hear what the chairman has to say about what the Fulham officials have been saying about him. What they’ve been saying might be also not true.

England fans will finally know who will make up the England World Cup squad tomorrow. Fabio Capello was reported recently to have admitted revealing the members of the final 23 man squad for the 2010 World Cup on June 1.

Early this month, Capello revealed who will most likely be the members of the squad. However, the boss revealed 30 possible men. Thus, there’d be seven who will stay at home.

The friendly event and final warm up can be really helpful to Capello when deciding who will be the members of the squad for the World Cup. And they must be also helpful to the sports betting firms when they decided who for them should make it to the squad.

One huge sports betting firm released the ones who can just make it and actually revealed to be Rooney, Lampard, Terry and Gerrard all at 1/100 and Robert Green, David James and Joe Hart all at 1/200. For the firm, also safe to bet for the likes of Glenn Johnson, James Milner, Rio Ferdinand, Peter Crouch and Jermain Defoe.

Capello was reported recently to have also confirmed that after the revelation, the squad will travel to South Africa for the big event. Thus, just few hours to go and Capello and the squad will have their way to South Africa for a big battle.

Of course, we are all excited about who will actually make it to the squad. We are all excited about who will be at the World Cup and play for another major trophy for national team.

The likes of Rooney, Lampard, Terry and Gerrard can just make it to the squad, to the World Cup. And so as Robert Green, David James and the likes. But there might also be just others who’ll be included that we have not mentioned above, so just exciting.

Crouch’s Odds as Top Scorer Slashed

For some time now, sports betting fans have been wondering who really will be the top scorer in this summer’s World Cup specifically for England. They have been actually wondering if it will really be Tottenham Hotspur striker Peter Crouch or the Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney. The two have been the favorite bets to top score in this summer’s World Cup particularly for England.

But recently, Crouch’s odds in regards to this summer’s World Cup that would be in South Africa were actually slashed significantly. Just indeed after his brace against Egypt the other night, his odds became 10/1 from being 14/1.

And to begin the opening game against USA in this 2010 World Cup, he is currently at odds of 6/5 and not to, he is at odds of 8/13.

While the striker of Manchester United, Wayne Rooney, is at odds of 9/4 to top score for the country. The striker has actually been in good form in this season and therefore most likely only a few will bet against him having the most goals for England in this summer’s World Cup in South Africa.

However, the story behind the competition on who will begin to make a goal against the USA seems different, with the West Ham keeper Robert Green at odds of 4/5, he is the favorite to stay between posts.

And the other night, England managed to beat Egypt 3-1, credit went to the goals that were enough to get rid of Egypt.

It is almost summer and pretty soon we will all get to experience the action that only the 2010 World Cup could bring. For sure, we will be thrilled with such action, just consider the action that it has been offering though it is not really happening yet. We will all be thrilled for sure.
