Jürgen Klopp relieved – winter break is coming!

Jürgen Klopp

Premier League: 2019 winter break for Jürgen Klopp and Co.

Not only Jürgen Klopp is relieved, but the entire Premier League. From the season 2019/2020 on there is also a winter break in the Premier League. This is possible because the association is ready to break with a tradition. The fifth round of the FA Cup will be held without replay (previously in a draw) for the first time during the week. The 20 Premier League clubs should not pause at the same time, so that each weekend five games can take place. The long-term goal is more recovery for the pros before the European Championship 2020 (including England) – and for future World Championships. So there is more time for sunbathing for Jürgen Klopp!

The former coach of Borussia Dortmund and current head coach at Liverpool recently indulged in palm trees for a few days. After the 5-0 victory in the Champions League at FC Porto Jürgen Klopp flew with his professionals from Liverpool not back to England. Instead, they stayed for a four-day short training camp in Marbella / Spain. This “short holiday” was possible because Liverpool is no longer represented in the FA Cup. The Coach: “The decisive phase of the season is approaching us and I think we will all benefit from these days here under these excellent conditions.” That means probably a FC Liverpool in top form.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang says: Arsenal London is a “bigger” club than Borussia Dortmund: After transferring of the Gabonese to the Gunners for 70 million euros, the star is “completely happy”: “I’m really happy with that because it’s a good club “, Aubameyang told” Sky Sports UK “. “It was the next step for me, it’s a great club,” explains Auba his transfer and makes it clear: “For me, Arsenal is slightly larger than Dortmund and therefore a good step for me and my career.” But he also admitted that the Gunners were the only club that had made a “real offer”. Now let’s see how long the great luck lasts. He also was happy in Dortmund for a long time …

Arsène Wenger soon history in Arsenal London? After two defeats in a row, things are not going well for Arsène Wenger. First, the Gunners lost in the FA Cup and a few days later in the Premier League against Manchester City. This gives the speculation new food and a lot of names are mentioned about a possible successor: Among others, Hoffenheim coach Julian Nagelsmann, Monaco head coach Leonardo Jardim and Celtic coach Brendan Rodgers. But there are still two Germans who are traded: the coach of the German National Team Joachim Löw and Thomas Tuchel. It seems that Arsène Wenger gets a German successor after more than 20 years at the Gunners. That would be the second German “star coach” who joins the Premier League.

José Mourinho criticizes superstar Pogba

Pogba and Mourinho

“Creative Tensions” between coach José Mourinho and Pogba

It’s rumored at Old Trafford and the reason is superstar Pogba. No one knows if the French superstar is sick or just does not feel like it. In the Cup victory on Saturday in Huddersfield the 24-year-old did not play – “illness”. At least that’s the official explanation. Others say coach José Mourinho wants to punish his star. When asked about Pogba, Mourinho responded irritably: “I don’t know how long Paul Pogba will fail, and frankly, I don’t care,” he answers when asked when Pogba can play for Manchester United again. On the club website it said only: “It remains to be seen whether the Frenchman for the Champions League match this week will be fit in Seville.”

One thing is certain: Pogba does not feel comfortable with Manchester United anymore. Did he ever feel good? Obviously it bothers him that he has to perform too many defensive tasks. The British newspaper “Telegraph” spoke of “creative tensions” between coach Mourinho and Pogba. The coach described this as “lying”. Already there were rumors about a premature departure in the summer, possibly to Real Madrid. Fact is, the 105 million euros transfer from Juventus Turin has not met the expectations so far and the hype around Pogba has cooled significantly. With two good games in Seville and in the Premier League against champions Chelsea, he could, provided he is fit, the euphoria but certainly reheat.

More Premier League News and Rumors

Arsenal concludes mega-deal with Emirates: The English football top club Arsenal has completed a very lucrative sponsorship deal. On Monday, the German national team player Mesut Özil announced that Emirates had prematurely signed on as a jersey sponsor for another five years until the end of the 2023/24 season. It is said that this is a record deal for Arsenal London. However, numbers have not yet been mentioned. Emirates has been a sponsor of the Gunners for 12 years and holds the naming rights to the stadium until 2021. “Our jersey partnership is the longest in the Premier League and one of the longest in world sports,” said Arsenal boss Ivan Gazidis.

Trouble in West Ham due to doping controls: Premier League club West Ham United have obviously violated the English FA’s doping rules. Over the last twelve months, Londoners have failed to announce the whereabouts of their players several times. Now officials at West Ham have until 27 February to respond to the allegations. West Ham explained so far only that it does not concern the professionals directly. Rather, it is a violation of the team regarding the whereabouts of his players. The announcement should ensure that doping controls can be carried out at any time.

Tug of war!

Arsenal London will certainly be the Premier League team to watch this January, what with Mesut Ozil and Alexs Sanchez entering into the final months of their contracts. It seems the Gunners have a battle on their hands for Thomas Lemar, as Chelsea and Liverpool booth want to seal a deal on him too. but who will he prefer to play for?

Another Arsenal player that is looking to leave the team this transfer window is Jack Wilshere – and it seems like Newcastle are set to sign the midfielder, ahead of the competition West Ham United.

It was a bad week for the bookies and football

UK Bookies

Tough and bad as well – bookies and football

It is inevitable that at some point throughout the Premier League season that certain weeks will just be bad for the bookies. The first bad bookie weekend of the 2017/2018 Premier League season kicked off last weekend, with bookies reporting losses across the board. What constitutes a bad week for bookies? When all the bookies’ favourites face considerably lesser opposition and they all win, of course.

Game Week 6 kills the bookies

Top UK BookiesGame Week 6 took place from September 23-25 (Saturday to Monday), with Saturday seeing the favourites in 7 out of the 8 matches win their matches. Tottenham defeated West Ham 3-2, whilst Everton won 2-1 at home to Bournemouth, and Liverpool scraped a 2-3 victory away at Leicester. Manchester City thrashed Crystal Palace 5-0, Chelsea bagged a 4-0 away win over Stoke, whilst United struggled but ultimately lucked out in a 1-0 away win against Southampton. In fact, only Burnley and Huddersfield ended in a draw.

With a good number of punters slapping down accumulator bets, plenty in the UK bookmaker industry braced for a multi-million pay-out to players. Things got worse on Monday, as Arsenal beat West Brom 2-0, compounding more misery for bookies and joy for players with accumulators.

The next “bad weekend”

Of course, last weekend was no mere blip on the radar. “Bad Weekends” occur at several times throughout the season, although it is largely down to the random fixture lists as to whether you get a flurry of easy to predict matches multiple times per year. With few big clubs scheduled to meet in the immediate future, the UK’s biggest bookies could be set for a few more ups and down before October fades from view.

Play with the most famous bookies such as Bet365

Bet365 offers some wonderful accumulators, so if you fancy bagging a buck or two with accumulated bets on bad weekend footy matches, look no further than them. Bet365 is currently offering all newbies the chance to claim a £200 bonus when they decide to sign up and try their luck with them this month.

William Hill ready to boost marketing for new season

William Hill Sportsbook

William Hill invest in marketing for the Premier League season

William Hill sportsbook is ready to significantly invest in marketing just in time for the new Premier League season, which gets underway this weekend. With many of their rivals merging with rival companies, launching special weekend offers in time for the kick-off of the new season, or going mobile now that Google’s Play Store permits gambling apps; William Hill will have their work cut out for them to be able to compete – hence the sudden willingness to invest in marketing.

William Hill opts for social media

Using the same terminology as many chief executives, William Hill’s Philip Bowcock claimed that the sportsbook would be drafting together some “dynamic marketing campaigns” which includes a look at social media, such as Facebook and Twitter.

Mr Bowcock is the new CEO at William Hill, and his job is to get the online sportsbook firing on all cylinders following a decline and general dip in customers over the last few years. The dip in customers doesn’t seem to have affected revenue, though, with William Hill sportsbook announcing a 13% rise in wagers taken over the last year, although many will argue that this rise in revenue is largely down to the Euro 2016 football tournament.

Your Premier League, Your Odds

A few cuts here and there have seen William Hill save roughly £40 million, and now Mr Bowcock plans on ploughing at least half of that cash in generating interest in the sportsbook. The #YourOdds social media campaign will continue in earnest (it has already brought in £2 million according to WH), and it is thought that sponsorship could be another way to lure in customers. Many of their rivals have been actively sponsoring football teams, both in the Premier League and the Championship. It certainly wouldn’t come as a surprise if the bookie looks at this as a source of luring in customers ahead of the start of the new season.

Join William Hill today

If you fancy joining the revolution over at William Hill sportsbook, why not sign up as a new player now? The bookie is offering all newbies £30 worth of free bets when they deposit and bet a tenner using the C30 promo code. Or try your luck at LVbet sports. There, is a brand new bonus available!
