Bookmaking giant vulnerable after a bruising 2016

William Hill have endured a difficult year and as they return to their stool after another bruising round, the question is what do they do next?

Hills are without a full-time chief executive with James Henderson having left a few months after another profit warning and they had to fight off an unwanted takeover bid from Rank and 888 during the summer.

They were already in talks with Amaya at that point but a leak meant they were forced to show their hand earlier than they had wished.
