Soccer Betting Lines
07/06/2010 -
Barcelona, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Barcelona President Sandro Rosell has
confirmed that he has agreed a new two-year verbal contract with coach Pep
Guardiola.
Guardiola, who has guided the Catalan club to back-to-back La Liga titles and
one Champions League crown during two seasons at the helm, is currently out of
contract at the Camp Nou.
The former club captain was happy to wait until Rosell took office before
signing a new contract and that deal is likely to tie Guardiola to the Spanish
giants for at least two more seasons.
The new contract is also likely to contain the option for a further 12 months.
"We've reached a verbal agreement and now the vice president for sport and
Pep's lawyer are sorting out the final details," revealed Rosell.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson
JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.
Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.
MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .
''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''
Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.
He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.
''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''
Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.
With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
