New Liverpool owner has publicly stated that he has no intention to replace Roy Hodgson, saying that giving him the sack would be unfair. He also says that Roy Hodgson did not inherit the current team.

Source: BBC Sport Radio Interview (see website)

As a result you will see Reina, Johnson, Agger and Torres leave in the summer. I personally find this funny, the new owner giving an excuse of inheriting a poor team, yet Pardew and Kean inherited teams and have progressed more than Hodgson has done. Sadly Liverpool are now in a relegation battle and huge team investment and a new manager is required in order to turn things around. To make matters worse Manchester Utd are to over take Liverpools historic record of 18 titles.

p.s i was the fan who painted hodgson out, i've now got 16 cans of spray paint so when they remove it i can replace it

I work as a builder and other jobs at melwood (been fixing a leak in the kitchens at the moment) and as i was walking to the toilets past a few of the gyms etc. i heard Roy Hodgson apologising to a man in a suit (he had a quiet voice, could of been John Henry or Tom Werner as it sounded american from what i could hear). I didn't hang around outside as it would look rather odd and i don't like eavesdropping. Well, as i was walking down the corridor and turning into the loos he passed with his head dropped and sighing with a suitcase and large briefcase, and climbed into a very nice and shiny 4x4.

Sorry Mate But If your Gonna make the story up at least try for one thing to be correct. Roy Has Got A large black BMW not 4 x 4.

Exactly. Just check Skysports News it shows you Roy Putting his stuff into the boot of his car today and it is a 5 Series BMW in Black

I would like to make a point about roy and other managers that say its not there team etc

Well first off do you hear owen coyle saying that not my team they not my players. no you dont. also if i was a manager of say asda or anyother supermarket. and things was not going well. don't think it go down well if i said they aint my staff etc.


also about resting players. we should be playing strongest team possible no matter what. if i paid to see the blackeyed peas or takethat and there tribute groups turned up. because they said they was too tired they need a rest. i don't think that would go down well. so why should us fans put up with it when its about 40 quid a game

So it looks like hodgson till summer, championship till may next year, torres to join villa at barca, reina off to arsenal and gerrard to admitted in to a mental institute due to insanity caused by the tactics used and anfield used as a dump as the fans will soon evacuate and the pool will be playing in stanley park, not in a stadium though

I am starting to think roy will never go, he will probably still be here for atleast blackpool. now im not saying i want this to happen but if he wasnt sacked after wolves then he must have made a deal with the devil of something.
i mean we should have been looking to win the europa league this year, but under roy we would be lucky to win a bloody coin toss.

I know we all want roy out but look at some of the so called stars ie torres been shocking all season except for the chelsea game and last night 2 of the goals came from him giving the ball away cheaply, something he actually does quite alot, great goalscorer when he can be bothered but a lazy b****d aswell, i think we should sell him now, say we get 40-50 mil for him, then get suarez and llorente for about 40 mil, offer 15 mil for hazard and that's an outlay of 5 mil, next sell or swap johnson, swap for santon or sell him for 15 mil and use kelly at rb and bring in cahill or raul albiol, no outlay needed again, so if we get rid of 2 bad apples we can bring in 4 quality players.

Rijkaard has got ot become our new manager!

As a coach, Frank Rijkaard's essential philosophy is to guide his team towards playing attack-minded football as a cohesive unit. In doing this, he believes a team can achieve the dual objectives of winning games and ensuring the audience's enjoyment of the spectacle. This follows in the best coaching traditions of Rijkaard's countrymen and forebears Rinus Michels and Johan Cruijff. In this light, it is notable that Michels coached both Cruijff and Rijkaard during their respective participations with the Dutch national team, and that Cruijff himself went on to coach Rijkaard. Nonetheless, Rijkaard believes in working within a contemporary football context and is not out to imitate the styles and tactics of past masters. In his own words:
" . .you gain many impressions from the past. You still have it in your mind when you become a coach, and if something happens you can recall how it was dealt with. But I strongly believe that you cannot copy anyone. The decisions that a great coach made years ago will not necessarily work today.[12] "

Rijkaard has evidently learned to curb the quick temper of his playing days and is often a portrait of calm and stability in training and along the touchline. He rarely courts controversy in the media and is more apt now to promote a positive environment and let his team's play speak for itself when faced with intense rivalry or criticism.[13]

The tactics used during his tenure as manager of Barcelona best exemplify Frank Rijkaard's commitment to playing stylish attacking football. During the team's 2004-05 and 2005-06 campaigns, the coach frequently fielded a 4-1-2-2-1 formation, a system which encouraged the creativity of the players in the front third of the field and created optimal interplay between the midfielders and forwards during attacks. Within this system the four defenders also tended to play in a relatively high position on the pitch to support the midfield which frequently advanced to participate in the attack. The team generally focuses on maintaining possession in the opponents' half of the field, applying pressure in order to force the opposition to make errors in defense and offensive counter-attacking.


Rijkaard had a disappointing start at Barcelona that saw some sections of the club's fans call for his resignation, and he drew flak from the media when the team lost to Real Madrid in December 2003.[4] Rijkaard's resilience won through and from 2004 onwards, he achieved a massive turnaround, as the team went from strength to strength. Barcelona finished runners-up in La Liga in 2003-04, having been close to the relegation zone at one point in the earlier stages of the season. Rijkaard then took Barcelona to the next level as he phased out the old guard and rebuilt a new-look side around Ronaldinho, with new players like Deco, Samuel Eto'o, Rafael Márquez and Ludovic Giuly, along with the latest promotion of some young players from the previous era trained in the club's youth teams (i.e. Víctor Valdés, Carles Puyol, Xavi and Andrés Iniesta). He eventually succeeded in turning around the fortunes of the club, with the strong support of Laporta, and within the next couple of years finally managed to win La Liga both in 2004-05 and in 2005-06.
With regards to man-management and motivation, Rijkaard rejects the notion of a "star system" and promotes the idea that every one of his players is a valuable member of the team.[14] He rarely praises one individual over another in the squad, although he has been known to acknowledge the outstanding contributions of a player within the context of a team performance.

wether the owners don't want him cos of rasterfarian rumours what ever i duuno.

Wouldn't a press conference at 1.30 tomorrow suggest that Roy (who cleared some of his personal belongings today) has been given the opportunity to resign with dignity from a no win job. He took the job at the wrong time and probably with the wrong club too.

The Liverpool manager job is the biggest job in English football and top 3/ 4 jobs in European and world football. II'd even go as far to say that it's probably more of a glamorous job today as ever before as who ever comes in here and turns around our fortunes and brings success, could probably have the job forever and a day. This role is perfect for a Coyle, Boas, Laudrup or Dechamps type manager.

"Red Lenin whatever happened to you?!? "

Information is hard to come by at the moment. I've resorted to stuff being said by office clerks. Part of the reason is the set-up is now currently tighter than a duck's a* e. Under H&G it leaked like a sieve and players etc knew quite a bit about what was going on. All that has stopped and not even Hodgson apparently knows that much - NESV regarding him as very much a caretaker and therefore don't include him in discussing plans for the future, most of which now take place in America anyway.

I'm hoping that once we have a permanent manger in place and more decisions are discussed and made this side of the Atlantic that the good old days will be back and it will leak like a sieve again.

I heard this from foxsports australia


Kevin Keegan and John Barnes insisted Hodgson was capable of turning around Liverpool's Barclays Premier League season in the wake of a 3-1 loss at Blackburn Rovers which edged him closer to the exit.

Liverpool's owners New England Sports Ventures have reportedly begun searching for Hodgson's successor after deciding that the former Fulham boss is not the man to lead them into a new era.

I just wanted to react to something that was said by one of the ed's yesterday about Frank Rijkaard. Pardon me if I misuderstood, but the idea of NESV not being keen on Rijkaard because he is a Rastafarian seemed to be conveyed. One of the arguments was that NESV as Americans might be reluctant to appoint a man whose private life might be a source of embarassement. honestly, I could not disagree more. Firstly, Rijkaard has managed (and -even more importantly- played for) national and club teams with some success. Although his time at Barcelona was by far the best in his career, he has shown a tendency to play attractive football and to get along with his players (Eto'o and Ronaldinho aside, but both are ego-maniacs who clash with all their managers). Even if I disliked him as a player -I was born in Belgium, so it's normal- I cannot recall any scandal involving Rijkaard the manager. Yes, he had a messy divorce, an issue with his daughter, but besides that there is nothing. Now, any man in this business is bound to have skeletons in, his closet (Paul Jewel, Avram Grant, Diego Maradona, Harry Redknapp, Sam Allardyce, etc.), but if the most qualified, available candidate is a rasta then you have to hire him. Personally, I don't believe the argument against Rijkaard makes sense. Of course, I am not in the know; but I don't think Rijkaard is being disqualified because of that.

Canadian Fan {ed's note - you clearly are missing the point! It is not his religion as such, but a facet of the religion is the partaking of certain substances. NESV do not want a manager who does that. If you still don't understand what I mean then I can't help you any more sorry

- Canadian Fan! You have missed the point. . you should know what he's talking about it's pretty tolerated in your country!

Rumours of us sniffing around Davide Santon are positive. . certainly fits the thinking of Comolli. . must be sick joke about Huth. . seriously? Are we considering him?

Ed are you racist or something, your assuming Rijkaard smokes weed and is a rasta.

Fact Rijkaard was a chain smoker but gave up in 2008

Fact Rijkaard is not a rasta

Fact you won't have the balls to put this thorough onto the site

Fact if Rijkaard was our Manager we would be signing the next superstars like Neymar, Bojan & Eden Hazard

Fact Rijkaard transformed Barcelona a club simular to ours in heritage & a club that was in a simular position to us, into what they are today

Fact Rijkaard is the best available canidate (currently)

Fact he tops the majority of polls for who liverpool fans want to see as the next manager

Fact I hope you have the balls to print this and to back up your ludicrous claims with FACTS

Fact I have now finished my Rafa rant

Ed in reply to your comments on my statement, broughton wasn't voted in by the fans H&G brought him in and NESV have done nothing to convince me they know what there doing it's all just lip service i mean how staged was that interview on lfctv sorry mate but unless they start showing us the colour of there money i'd say there no better than them 2 clowns H&G and atleast they spent some money shame RAFA blew it, i just think we're screwed you just can't trust YANKS there all full of s* t.

{Editor Note: As far as I know, Hicks and Gillette didn't bring in Broughton. Hicks and Gillette wanted an extension on the loan re-payment and part of the terms of them getting an extension was that Barclays Capital picked Broughton to oversee the sale of the club and appoint his own board. And they are all lip service? They haven't promised everything like the previous owners and said that their actions will speak for them. To write them off after less than three months is simply fickle and stupid in my opinion.}

I do get the point! I did so yesterday as well. I never used the word religion. But, unless Rijkaard lights one up during a press conference; why does what he does or doesn't do at home matter to NESV? Unless, you know for a fact that that is the reason why NESV won't ever hire him. If that is the case, they are once again being foolish because the man has never done anything to bring embarassement to his employers. That is my point.

Canadian Fan

{Editor Note: Such actions in a person's private life can certainly have an effect on their social lives and can affect their jobs. If you were the boss of a business, or perhaps a head-teacher in a school, would you hire a teacher in those circumstances?}

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I get where you stand on the issue, but I still wonder. Do you know for a fact that Rijkaard was disqualified because of the speculation (that's all it is really) regarding his private life? And to answer your question satifactorily and before I ask you an equally twisted question: if I were hiring someone, I would take a look a them and make assumptions based on their appearance and/ or religion and then disqualify them despite prior experiences and competence (or history). Now here is my twisted question, would a stoned (high, messed up) Rijkaard play/ buy Konchesky, Poulsen; repeatedly play Soto and favour them over Aurelio and Agger? Here's another one, would a stoned Rijkaard play scared on the road, manage only one away win due to negative tactics and then wonder about the lack of results? Clearly, the Rasta definetely is not fit to be a Liverpool manager. I hope you don't get upset, we're just playing, right?

Canadian Fan.

{Editor Note: No-one has made references to his religion or appearence. The other ed knows more than me, I just heard the things about his private life and have given my view on it. That's as far as I'm going. It is a delicate issue and some people are accusing the ed of being racist or secterian which is unacceptable and which is why we haven't gone into this issue in depth. Try to keep it off the boards.}

Wrote yesterday that Hodgson will be manager of Liverpool on sunday. How things are going now he probably will. .

Lets only hope that we will get a world class manager in since they are using so long time. Maby it can also be because they don't want a new manager to get the first game at old trafford. Its very important for our new manager (when he comes) to get a good start so the players get faith back in their abilities.

Hoping for KD or a foreign manager that likes to play offensive football ( my personal favorite is Guus Hiddink even if he most probably won't come). After many years with defensive style of play, it would be refreshing with a Liverpool team that wants to attack.

Bran {ed's note - O'Neill was ruled out after a chat with Randy Lerner about what kind of manager he is and how he conducts himself, apparently. Rijkaard was ruled out because Americans are prudish about things that the Dutch think are a normal part of daily life, if you get my drift.}

a higher percentage of americans than dutch do it ED. just a few of them have very strong opinions about it. shame he tolerates s* *e football more than rijkaards habits.

{Editor Note: Regardless of how many people do it, it is not considered legal in the UK.}

I agree with the Ed in the sense that if we were Ajax, then Mr Henry probably wouldn't have a problem employing Frank Rijkaard. Would u concur Mr Editor?

{Editor Note: I can't answer that question, I am not Mr.Henry! But I will say that the situation we are talking about may be legal in some countries, but it is still not considered acceptable or condonable.}

I think Canadian Fan has a point Ed. If Rijkaard show up stoned out of his conkers at Melwood he could still do a better job than Hodgson.

I don't think the players would fancy listening to Bob Marley or Pink Floyd in training. But if he wins us trophys who gives a f*ck?

I've gotta feeling NESV have got something lined up. I think they just had to say press conference is going ahead, and personally I don't think it will. Even if he did my sources, who don't have links to Liverpool particularly so I can't talk about transfers but do have links to many managers throughout the world, told me last weekend hodgson would be gone maximum 2-3 weeks time. Well one has already gone.

What do you think ed?

He also told me Rijkaard and O'neill were the 2 being lined up for the job. I know that you think otherwise ed, but I wouldn't post this for any old reason I am a die hard LFC fan.

Dont think Martin O'neill would ever manage liverpool fc, he hates us

Michael Laudrup would be the manager we have needed for a long time to bring back quality creative football to Anfield

Laudrup, please, please, please

It has hit me now that alot of damage has been done to our club and that we will need at least 2 seasonse to become great again. In my opinion to get our team back on track, we will have to have a team like this (realisticly). .
-Reina-
-Kelly-Mertesacker(10M)-Agger-Coentrao(16M)

-Johnson-Gerrard-M'vila(15M)-Turan-(14M)

-Torres-Suarez(20M)-
Manager: Owen Coyle or Andre villas boas
Investment: 70M

What do you think Ed?

CL x

{Editor Note: I don't like Contraeo (sp.). I think he's like Johnson, good at going forward but poor at defending. Seen him caught out many times.}

Hi reds.
take no notice of lawrie sanchez he is a no mark who has done next to nothing in his career apart from one lucky cup final where his team were battered from start to finish and got lucky (saying-every dog has its day). the only time you hear of him is near fa cup time when they rake up up that
fu@@@%G goal.

Yes we all agree Roy must go, but what about the defending for all 3 of the goals vs Blackburn Johnson for the first, The Greek for the 2nd, Johnson and Skrtel for the 3rd these players are nowhere near good enough.So my point is the players are letting the club down aswell its not all Roy's fault.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Yes it is mate, for me he should've played Kelly, Agger and Aurelio. Instead of Soto, Konchesky and Johnson (right wing) and then we probably would'nt have conceeded 3.

Blair Mayne YNWA
* * * * * * * *
Ye i agree but Johnson, Skrtel, Kyrgiakos(retired) all three very experianced international players should be defending a lot better.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
They may be internationals mate but it dosn't mean they are better players. Kelly is a better RB than Johnson (who should be playing RW). Agger is the best centre half we have. And Aurelio is better than Konchesky even Kelly can do a better job at LB than Konchesky.

You've got me on Skrtel he's just crap at the momment.

Is it really just a matter of time before Hodgson goes?
If as reported on SSN he is still in charge at Old Trafford this weekend, what happens to him if we win?
Not too many managers have been given the boot straight after winning there. Therefore are we left with the predicament of cheering on the team knowing that beating those tw*ts will mean we put up with Roy for much longer or will this be a time when Manure beating us will be somewhere near bearable? Personally we beat them at all costs.
Bel= Liverpool win and Hodgson stay longer.
Unbel= Liverpool lose and Roy goes.

This is not showing NESV in a good light. If they don't inform RH that his job is safe and place him in the dugout for the Man U game the uncertainity will be bad for the side. The media attention will be horrendous.

If they want to keep him fine, back him and bring in some quality in January.

If Torres etc want to leave fine let them go. I only want players who want to be here.

I work as a builder and other jobs at melwood (been fixing a leak in the kitchens at the moment) and as i was walking to the toilets past a few of the gyms etc. i heard Roy Hodgson apologising to a man in a suit (he had a quiet voice, could of been John Henry or Tom Werner as it sounded american from what i could hear). I didn't hang around outside as it would look rather odd and i don't like eavesdropping. Well, as i was walking down the corridor and turning into the loos he passed with his head dropped and sighing with a suitcase and large briefcase, and climbed into a very nice and shiny 4x4.

Sorry Mate But If your Gonna make the story up at least try for one thing to be correct. Roy Has Got A large black BMW not 4 x 4.

Ed are you racist or something, your assuming Rijkaard smokes weed and is a rasta.

Fact Rijkaard was a chain smoker but gave up in 2008

Fact Rijkaard is not a rasta

Fact you won't have the balls to put this thorough onto the site

Fact if Rijkaard was our Manager we would be signing the next superstars like Neymar, Bojan & Eden Hazard

Fact Rijkaard transformed Barcelona a club simular to ours in heritage & a club that was in a simular position to us, into what they are today

Fact Rijkaard is the best available canidate (currently)

Fact he tops the majority of polls for who liverpool fans want to see as the next manager

Fact I hope you have the balls to print this and to back up your ludicrous claims with FACTS

Fact I have now finished my Rafa rant

{Editor Note: You certainly haven't stated facts above. And don't be so ignorant and vile as to accuse someone of being racist when there has been no indication of that.}

JUST SENT THIS MAIL TO FSG HOPE THEY READ IT


Dear Sirs,
I write to you as a life long fan of Liverpool Football Club and beg the good John Henry to do something about the current situation at our beloved club, it is breaking my heart and many others to watch events unfolding the way they are, though i must clarify in no way do i or any other supporters of our
club blame Mr Henry or Fenway Sports Group for the current on field performances, or the performance of any of the staff within the club.But as fans of Liverpool F.C. we do not hold the power to end the current mess that power lies with Mr Henry, we are begging with you to act sooner rather than later, no offence to Roy Hodgson he is a nice man and a good coach but alas being nice does not win trophies he is nowhere near as good as we need to move forward as a club.We understand there is no magic wand and we have to expect set backs but let's be honest here i bet you were not expecting this many i know i was not, from a fans perspective from the stands the players look like they have lost faith in Mr Hodgsons ability also.As a team we look lost on the pitch no creativity no heart or passion and that i am sorry to say is the fault of the current coaching staff, not the players or the fans as Mr Hodgson would have everyone believe, i trust you have seen his post match interviews of late and his humbling retractions afterwards, as my grandfather used to say "A bad workman always blames his tools".
We desperately need a change of Manager and certain members of the coaching staff if anything we have gone backwards as a club since Mr Hodgsons appointment, he was brought in to steady the ship not sink it, think about it from a business perspective a successful brand is more profitable than one not
achieving its goals, without some form of European Football at Anfield next season we will not only be unable to attract top players to join us but we risk
not being able to keep our current top players at the club, because lets be honest here top players want to play at the highest level for the best teams and
we are a long way off being one of the best teams, also European Football provides extra much needed funds again i'm no businessman but i would say
the money generated form said competitions would only make the company more secure, competative and profitable, which is what matters in business at
the end of the day i hope you agree, and on current form we won't even achieve the minimun required league position to secure European Football. I am
sure your aware of the lowest league position required to guarentee qualification for some form of European Football, but if you are in anyway unsure i would like to take this oppertunity to point out to your good selves the requirements and various permitations needed to attain European Football i will set them out below i hope they are clear to you i will try my best to explain:

1) The top 4 teams in the league qualify for the Champions League.

2) 5th place in the Premier League qualifies for the UEFA Cup. 5th place is the ONLY league place that qualifies automatically via the league standings.

3) The winners of the Carling Cup qualify for the UEFA Cup. If the winners of this have already qualified for European competition via their league placing, then this UEFA Cup place is transferred to the 6th placed team in the league (we are out of the Carling Cup so we cannot qualify through this route.Only Arsenal Birmingham and West Ham winning this Cup and finishing the season in one of the top 5 league places would invoke the 6th place scenario, out of those 3 teams only Arsenal stand a realistic chance of achieving that goal so hopes of being able to finish 6th place are slim but not unrealistic)

4) The winners of the FA Cup qualify for the UEFA Cup. If the winners of this have already qualified for European competition via their league placing,
then this UEFA Cup place is transferred in the first instance to the runners-up in the FA Cup, if they too have already qualified for European competition
via their league placing, then the UEFA Cup place transfers on to the 7th placed finishers in the league.(Too early to tell via this competition as so many teams still in it, but realistically we need to win this competition or hope both the winner and runner up of this competition have already qualified for some
form of European Football via other means)

So as you can clearly see we need to finish the season in 5th place or win the F.A Cup to guarentee European Football at anfield next season, failiure to
achieve these goals will leave us relying on good fortune to Qualify, i as a fan really do not want to be relying on good fortune to qualify for Europe as i am
sure you as the clubs owners do not want to either, and i'm sorry if you think i am being rude but under Mr Hodgson i really cannot see us achieving the minimum required, infact on current form we could be in a relegation battle and no one involved with the club wants that imagine Liverpool Football Club out of the premier league that would mean no chance of qualification for the Champions League for at a minimum 3 seasons (including this current season)
our only chance of qualifying for The Europa League would be via the 2 domestic cup competitons for a minimum of 2 seasons (including the current season)

The club needs a huge lift and again i'm sorry but Mr Hodgson cannot provide that lift it is obvious. We need a manger who can inspire the team and lift it when the team are 1-0 down at half time, a manager who is not afraid to play attractive attacking football, a manager that sticks by his players not blame them for his mistakes, a manager that has passion and belief. Who cares if you leak the odd goal or lose the odd game because you will win a damn sight more
games with that approach than setting your team up not to get beat that approach has done us no favours so far this season, we still have about half the season
left with the right manager and the right approach and great attacking football we can make a difference and turn our season around and achieve something to
be proud of.

One last point the team has been in desperate need of another Top Forward to partner Fernando Torres in attack we have been promised one and so has Fernando for the last 3 seasons and each season we were lied to. Again i exclude your goodselves from the previous comment, So if you could also find a way
of bringing someone in during the Janruary window you would
A:Make all the fans happy,
B:Ease the work load and pressure off Fernando Torres,
C: Make thetask of winning games a lot easier,

A couple more areas could do with strengthening but i will not take up anymore of your time as i'm sure your busy striving tO make Liverpool Football Club great again thankyou if you took the time to read this letter


YourS Hopefully,

I'm beginning to think broughton (chelsea fan) has shafted our club well and truly, he said he's going to sell the club to the buyers that will be the best for the club, well i'm beginning to think NESV haven't got a clue what there doing, hodgson should've gone a few weeks back but it seems to me that there gonna let it drag on so we get no decent players in during the window then soon as it closes they'll come out with some crap about waiting till the summer as january isn't the right time to buy, we should have been sold to somebody who's ready to splash the cash not just on new players but the new stadium, i mean NESV have said there'd be no decision on the stadium until late 2011 early 2012 as they have to explore all the options, one word comes to mind BOLLOX.eds please put this on the rumour page as i'd like yours and other people's views.

{Editor Note: It wasn't Broughton's sole decision to sell the club. Ayre and Purslow had a say also, and aren't they Liverpool fans? Would Liverpool fans have voted him in if they believed they weren't the right men for the job? More and more people are writing them off after less than three months, which is fickle in my eyes.}

Micheal Laudrup of RCD Mallorca, only been there since july
he plays good attacking football, bid wonders with Getafe, plays football like he did, with attacking flair and passing
what u people think? & ED - chances of getting him and what u think, a reckon slim chance but good call

{Editor Note: I follow La Liga a lot and he is very highly thought of in Spain. His football is fantastic and I think he one of the favourites for the Barcelona job in 2008 but they couldn't get him as he had just taken the Spartak Moscow job. I wouldn't be disappointed if this happened, although there are one or two I'd have before him.}

{Editor Note: It seems as if he'll be here for the Man Utd game. But I gather NESV are holding talks and considering his future. Maybe next week will be when a decision is announced. If someone else was in charge for the Man Utd game, a day or so isn't enough time for him to prepare anyway.}

Just doing some guess work here. We know now that he will still be with us for the weekend, but Woy has obviously still gone. His position is anything but tennable.

The hold up is clarifying his replacement.

Firstly, Woy:
I believe that NESV have a lot of sympathy for Woy who (lets face it) is a decent bloke. They have ofered him the chance to go out in style by winning at Old Trafford, but he knows that whatever happens, win, lose or draw, he will be gone.

Secondly, Weplacement:
The delay is because they want to get their man in straight away. Therefore. .

Dalglish - The temporary solution. They have to wait for him to get back from holiday and/ or, they would rather not risk destroying any immediate feel good factor created by his return if we lose at Manure in his first game. It would then mean any number of managers coming into the frame in the summer.

Coyle, Laudrup, Deschamps - NESV are in negotiations with their clubs for compo for an immediate release. This will take days, and they don't want to make even more temporary arrangements just for the Manure game.

I believe this delay rules out unemployed managers like Rijkaard and O'Neill. If they were in the frame, they'd be ready to go straight away, and would probably love to take on the Mancs in their first game.

My personal picks would be Coyle or Laudrup.

Ed and Reds, please tell me if this makes sense of just wishful thinking. I want to stay positive!. .

I cannot believe my eyes when i see fans lucky enough to get tickets or have season tickets treating them with utter contempt.

My work and family commitments mean i will rarely see the team at Anfield. I try and get tickets (home or away end) when we travel away close to where i either am working or live (Stoke, Villa, Bham, Wolves). Yet the term rocking horse sh* springs to mind.

Your role quite simply, if you are 'lucky' enough to ever be in a position to attend. Is support the team to the best of your ability.

Now shut up whinging and open your gobs at the matches, and do your job every single one of you.

Your club needs you.

Luck or no luck the prices are now £45 a match (cat A) - that's before spending anything on programmes or getting to/ from the match.

My philosophy is simple, if you have paid the money and made the effort to go or lucky as you say then you are entitled to say what you want at the ground, its as simple as that. It may not help, but you can't seriously expect people who spend that amount of money and time to put up with football that doesn't see us be adventurous in the slightest, especially the away fans where we have won i think one game this season - not exactly giving the crowd something to cheer about is it?

This is the reason attendances are starting to drop because people can't even be arsed to go and voice their opinions or part with their hard earned money.

I understand youer point but its not a perfect World is it?

Hi Ed Iam a firstime poster, just annoyed at the liverpool fans slating of hodgson, fair enough he is losing the plot under the pressure but alot of fans didn't give him the support from day one which is what true liverpool fans pride themselves on YNWA but hodgson has walked alone from day one, there was never going to be a magic wand waved we are light years behind man ure, chelski, arsenal and now man city and spurs. Anfield is full of negativity and has been for a long time and hodgson is the scape goat, sure he now crumbling and probably too much water under the bridge for him to continue, and rightly so, but there are 11 millionares on that pitch every week playing like a pub team with no heart for our proud red jersey who have alot to answer for.Until the fans get some positivity and togetherness back in anfield I fear for us. sorry for the ramble. . .ps we need at least 5 new players and our own jokers to realise what club the represent

hodgson has walked alone from day 1 cos he was never the right man from day one, , he was the wrong choice to manage us he is not the right guy to help repair lfc back to the way things was, , the players can't perform well cos roy won't let them the way he sets things up the things he tells them to do, , b4 we got hodgson we knew he can't win away and hes proved it even more here at lfc, , he should go now so someone more permanent can come in and have the 6 months to see whats what and who they want in there squad next season and who they don't want in it, , , we all know hodgson won't last past summer at most so why bring someone in then only giving them a few weeks to see whats what and who to keep and who not to keep when u can now and give them 6 months which will give them a better idea of how tings will go next season


had roy when taking the job came out and said im gonna do everything i can to get this club back in the top 4, backed torres when fergie branded him a cheat, not layed the boot in to joe cole when he clearly was lacking confidence, not said in a press conference that we are where he expected us to be at this stage of the season, not signed poulsen, and konchesky distanced him self from the signings of cole and mereiles, showed more faith in talented youth, then maybe just maybe i would have sympathy, he moans he inherited a poor squad, he signed 4 players in the summer. 4, that's one short of half of the outfield first eleven, if the squad was poor before he arrived then roy certainly added to it with poulsen and konchesky. he can have no more excuses, can not blame the players, yes torres looks half the player he was two seasons ago, but that is because the service is crap, he showed against bolton that given good service he will score goals. the players play how hodgson sets them up to play. he is a mid table manager, with a mid table attitude, making the players think they are a mid table team. our squad is top 6 without a doubt.
you won't walk alone roy. . . 45000 of us will walk you to the door!

It seems as if we are going have Roy for a while yet, how the players react to this is what will be the making or breaking of our season. They need to remember that they play for LFC not Roy Hodgson, LFC are bigger than any of them. At present we are still in the FA Cup and Europa League and silverware is still possible, it seems a cup run is the only way of securing European football next season.
In the Summer where its clear Roy will be moved on - I would love to see either Owen Coyle or Michael Laudraup as manager - both young managers, former players and a very highly regarded. We need to know clearly what Comolli's role is, as i would like to see Kenny Dalglish as a director of football - instilling the Liverpool Way across the club.

The jumped up maggot said we aren't a big club. He said "The priemership's been in existence for 19 years and Liverpool have never won it. They won the FA cup in 2006 and that's their last trophy".

liverpool has always been up there fighting for it, they r a big club just 3-4 teams have been better for most of the seasons, , apart from times we finished 2nd then only 1 team was better, , tottenham and man city can't be big clubs then either according to his way of thinking man united can be the only team to be classed as a big team in the premiership cos arsenal hasnt won much for long time, and chelsea only since 2002-03 have they begun to win trophies, , yet nearly every one knows they r big clubs in the league, , liverpool r just having a slip up and now need to build again just like arsenal have been for last few years

I heard it.He said Liverpool were not a big club anymore, and that we won the CL in 2005 by default! Exact words.

Was great when Aldo turned up on the phone to put him straight, reminding him that we are still among the top 5 supported teams in the world, with a season ticket waitlist of 100,000!

Idiot. He's the guy who got sacked by Fulham and was replaced by Hodgson, who improved their side! What does that say about him?!?! !

RG

yep, and the worst thing is he had the cheek to come out and say Roy hasn't done a good job because he inherited Benitez's squad - funny that Hodgson inherited Sanchez's team and did a much better job! - how ironic!

Ok folks. .everyone needs to take a deep breath and chill. FSg will do the right thing, in that i trust.

first things first. .RH will tomorrow no longer be the manager of LFC.
why? indications within the club say they are undecided about him. look at it from another point of view -if they now back him, they lose the PR 'moment' they have gained by buying the club, so being the shrewd guys that they are they will not back him. all today is about is legal talk, buying time to sort out the How, what, when etc of his departure. .that's all.

also today gives them time to look around and make the call to who they may want in, particularly those who are free and available, and consult with everyone in the process (dont forget time zones and people on holiday too)

available options: rijkaard, rafa, rangnick, o'neil

of the above the no brainer for me is rijkaard.
plays attacking football, winning mentality, won things as a player and manager therefore commanding instant respect. all this stuff about 'off' field activities is people scaremongering. yeah so he smokes a bit of weed. .is that any different to RH taking anti depressents?

rafa on a ' 6 months deal ' would also work for me. set him a goal, say top 6, and if he achieves then give it to him perm. and then he can with commolli briong in the players he really wanted all along.
i actually think this may get the 'old rafa' back, fired up with a challenge to stabilise then re-challenge, and finish off what he started. cruicially will give us all a massive lift going into the manure game as he hates fergie more than us!

o'neil - for me no, more of the roy tactics and that's not what we want.

rangnick - v interesting option. spks english v well so not a prob there. his teams play v good footy a la barca 4-3-3 which i would love to see. the thing with this guy is we'd give him time (ie this season) to get his house in order then go for it next year. not won much but he wins me over with his football. .like holloway.

however if they wanted hassle free option then appoint KK with Jose Segura as his assistant.

segura has managed olympiacos and won the league and cup double with them before he came to LFC, with rafa the instigator.
this is the guy who worked with and brought through messi, xavi, iniesta, pique, cesc to name but a few at barca 'b'.
this guy is already here. working for us now. working alongside KK, playing some tikki-tak footy would be brilliant and whats more we'll give him time and he'll get some of the youngsters playing. i say give it a shot

everyone needs to pause for a moment and have faith that the FSG boys are going to make the right decision. afterall if you'd spent £300m or so, you wouldn't make a hasty decision, would you?

Yes we all agree Roy must go, but what about the defending for all 3 of the goals vs Blackburn Johnson for the first, The Greek for the 2nd, Johnson and Skrtel for the 3rd these players are nowhere near good enough.So my point is the players are letting the club down aswell its not all Roy's fault.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Yes it is mate, for me he should've played Kelly, Agger and Aurelio. Instead of Soto, Konchesky and Johnson (right wing) and then we probably would'nt have conceeded 3.

Ye i agree but Johnson, Skrtel, Kyrgiakos(retired) all three very experianced international players should be defending a lot better.

Bran {ed's note - O'Neill was ruled out after a chat with Randy Lerner about what kind of manager he is and how he conducts himself, apparently. Rijkaard was ruled out because Americans are prudish about things that the Dutch think are a normal part of daily life, if you get my drift.}

a higher percentage of americans than dutch do it ED. just a few of them have very strong opinions about it. shame he tolerates s* *e football more than rijkaards habits.

Some rumour makers exposed this evening it seems. Just goes to show, don't put your faith in people posting rumours, take them as the speculation they are. As for FSG. Act in haste, repent at leisure, however, they need to be careful not to 'fiddle whilst Rome burns'. They do seem to be rather gutless and lacking in ambition. I wonder if they really appreciate the required level of ambition for owners of this club.

"NESV do not want a manager who does that."
Ed how can you possibly know that?
'Canadian Fan' has a very good point and deserves to be treated with more respect. Just because marijuana is illegal in the USA doesn't make FR a bad choice. For goodness sake one of the biggest retailers in the USA, Sears & Roebucks sold Opium, Heroin, and Cocaine up until about 1930. Teething babies were given opium and heroin was regarded as 'Mommy's little helper'.
We all have our failings, my drug of choice is alcohol, John Henry's appears to be tobacco and alcohol. There are moves to legalize weed in the US and no doubt it will be before long.
If we are all judged by the highest moral standards, we would all fail. FR would be an inspired choice.

I just wanted to react to something that was said by one of the ed's yesterday about Frank Rijkaard. Pardon me if I misuderstood, but the idea of NESV not being keen on Rijkaard because he is a Rastafarian seemed to be conveyed. One of the arguments was that NESV as Americans might be reluctant to appoint a man whose private life might be a source of embarassement. honestly, I could not disagree more. Firstly, Rijkaard has managed (and -even more importantly- played for) national and club teams with some success. Although his time at Barcelona was by far the best in his career, he has shown a tendency to play attractive football and to get along with his players (Eto'o and Ronaldinho aside, but both are ego-maniacs who clash with all their managers). Even if I disliked him as a player -I was born in Belgium, so it's normal- I cannot recall any scandal involving Rijkaard the manager. Yes, he had a messy divorce, an issue with his daughter, but besides that there is nothing. Now, any man in this business is bound to have skeletons in, his closet (Paul Jewel, Avram Grant, Diego Maradona, Harry Redknapp, Sam Allardyce, etc.), but if the most qualified, available candidate is a rasta then you have to hire him. Personally, I don't believe the argument against Rijkaard makes sense. Of course, I am not in the know; but I don't think Rijkaard is being disqualified because of that.

Canadian Fan {ed's note - you clearly are missing the point! It is not his religion as such, but a facet of the religion is the partaking of certain substances. NESV do not want a manager who does that. If you still don't understand what I mean then I can't help you any more sorry!}

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I do get the point! I did so yesterday as well. I never used the word religion. But, unless Rijkaard lights one up during a press conference; why does what he does or doesn't do at home matter to NESV? Unless, you know for a fact that that is the reason why NESV won't ever hire him. If that is the case, they are once again being foolish because the man has never done anything to bring embarassement to his employers. That is my point.

Canadian Fan

Liverpool Rumours
Roy Hodgson and Liverpool's pre-Manchester Utd press conference will go ahead as planned at 1pm on Friday afternoon at Anfield, indicating that the manager has kept his job - for now.

Rumours were abound throughout the night last night and through today that Hodgson was in negotiations over his compensation package to walk away from the club following last night's 3-1 defeat away to Blackburn.

It was Liverpool's 9th league defeat since Hodgson took over at Anfield last summer, and the Reds find themselves down in 12th place, just four points off the relegation zone.

After the game, Hodgson refused to answer questions on his future from the media - interpreted by many that he knew his time on Merseyside had come to an end.

That was followed by several leaks of news that Thursday would be his last day in charge of the club by sources online, largely social media network Twitter.

When Sky Sports News showed footage mid-afternoon of Hodgson putting some big bags into his car boot at Melwood, many fans suggested he was taking Paul Konchesky and Christian Poulsen with him.

At 5pm this afternoon, BBC reporter Dan Roan tweeted that the club were yet to confirm Friday's press conference ahead of Sunday's FA Cup trip to Manchester Utd, indicating something was happening at Liverpool.

However, later this evening Roan tweeted again to explain there were "lots of talks today but am told no decision has been made."

He then confirmed that Hodgson will hold his pre-match press conference "as planned" on Friday afternoon at 1pm.

Will the press conference be only to discuss the match? Or is there other big news on the cards.

Hey Ed(s) hope all's well.

To my post, a colleuge and I were having this debate before, did Gerrard miss his penalty on purpose, so they couldn't potentially mount a comeback and possibly get a draw and in essense buy Hodgson even more time? Because that was Gerrard's third ever penalty miss, and it was a rather poor effort by his particular standards, seeing as the last 2 were saved. .or do you not think that thought even entered his mind?

Also, I for one am all for the sacking of Roy, he's just not as hungry to win as lets say a Coyle or the likes of Boas and ze German. But I do hope the Dalglish at leasts gives it a go, and therefore brings in Turan and similar (crafty, and creative) players.

JUST SENT THIS MAIL TO FSG HOPE THEY READ IT


Dear Sirs,
I write to you as a life long fan of Liverpool Football Club and beg the good John Henry to do something about the current situation at our beloved club, it is breaking my heart and many others to watch events unfolding the way they are, though i must clarify in no way do i or any other supporters of our
club blame Mr Henry or Fenway Sports Group for the current on field performances, or the performance of any of the staff within the club.But as fans of Liverpool F.C. we do not hold the power to end the current mess that power lies with Mr Henry, we are begging with you to act sooner rather than later, no offence to Roy Hodgson he is a nice man and a good coach but alas being nice does not win trophies he is nowhere near as good as we need to move forward as a club.We understand there is no magic wand and we have to expect set backs but let's be honest here i bet you were not expecting this many i know i was not, from a fans perspective from the stands the players look like they have lost faith in Mr Hodgsons ability also.As a team we look lost on the pitch no creativity no heart or passion and that i am sorry to say is the fault of the current coaching staff, not the players or the fans as Mr Hodgson would have everyone believe, i trust you have seen his post match interviews of late and his humbling retractions afterwards, as my grandfather used to say "A bad workman always blames his tools".
We desperately need a change of Manager and certain members of the coaching staff if anything we have gone backwards as a club since Mr Hodgsons appointment, he was brought in to steady the ship not sink it, think about it from a business perspective a successful brand is more profitable than one not
achieving its goals, without some form of European Football at Anfield next season we will not only be unable to attract top players to join us but we risk
not being able to keep our current top players at the club, because lets be honest here top players want to play at the highest level for the best teams and
we are a long way off being one of the best teams, also European Football provides extra much needed funds again i'm no businessman but i would say
the money generated form said competitions would only make the company more secure, competative and profitable, which is what matters in business at
the end of the day i hope you agree, and on current form we won't even achieve the minimun required league position to secure European Football. I am
sure your aware of the lowest league position required to guarentee qualification for some form of European Football, but if you are in anyway unsure i would like to take this oppertunity to point out to your good selves the requirements and various permitations needed to attain European Football i will set them out below i hope they are clear to you i will try my best to explain:

1) The top 4 teams in the league qualify for the Champions League.

2) 5th place in the Premier League qualifies for the UEFA Cup. 5th place is the ONLY league place that qualifies automatically via the league standings.

3) The winners of the Carling Cup qualify for the UEFA Cup. If the winners of this have already qualified for European competition via their league placing, then this UEFA Cup place is transferred to the 6th placed team in the league (we are out of the Carling Cup so we cannot qualify through this route.Only Arsenal Birmingham and West Ham winning this Cup and finishing the season in one of the top 5 league places would invoke the 6th place scenario, out of those 3 teams only Arsenal stand a realistic chance of achieving that goal so hopes of being able to finish 6th place are slim but not unrealistic)

4) The winners of the FA Cup qualify for the UEFA Cup. If the winners of this have already qualified for European competition via their league placing,
then this UEFA Cup place is transferred in the first instance to the runners-up in the FA Cup, if they too have already qualified for European competition
via their league placing, then the UEFA Cup place transfers on to the 7th placed finishers in the league.(Too early to tell via this competition as so many teams still in it, but realistically we need to win this competition or hope both the winner and runner up of this competition have already qualified for some
form of European Football via other means)

So as you can clearly see we need to finish the season in 5th place or win the F.A Cup to guarentee European Football at anfield next season, failiure to
achieve these goals will leave us relying on good fortune to Qualify, i as a fan really do not want to be relying on good fortune to qualify for Europe as i am
sure you as the clubs owners do not want to either, and i'm sorry if you think i am being rude but under Mr Hodgson i really cannot see us achieving the minimum required, infact on current form we could be in a relegation battle and no one involved with the club wants that imagine Liverpool Football Club out of the premier league that would mean no chance of qualification for the Champions League for at a minimum 3 seasons (including this current season)
our only chance of qualifying for The Europa League would be via the 2 domestic cup competitons for a minimum of 2 seasons (including the current season)

The club needs a huge lift and again i'm sorry but Mr Hodgson cannot provide that lift it is obvious. We need a manger who can inspire the team and lift it when the team are 1-0 down at half time, a manager who is not afraid to play attractive attacking football, a manager that sticks by his players not blame them for his mistakes, a manager that has passion and belief. Who cares if you leak the odd goal or lose the odd game because you will win a damn sight more
games with that approach than setting your team up not to get beat that approach has done us no favours so far this season, we still have about half the season
left with the right manager and the right approach and great attacking football we can make a difference and turn our season around and achieve something to
be proud of.

One last point the team has been in desperate need of another Top Forward to partner Fernando Torres in attack we have been promised one and so has Fernando for the last 3 seasons and each season we were lied to. Again i exclude your goodselves from the previous comment, So if you could also find a way
of bringing someone in during the Janruary window you would
A:Make all the fans happy,
B:Ease the work load and pressure off Fernando Torres,
C: Make thetask of winning games a lot easier,

A couple more areas could do with strengthening but i will not take up anymore of your time as i'm sure your busy striving tO make Liverpool Football Club great again thankyou if you took the time to read this letter


YourS Hopefully,

Ed? Regarding ur reply about rijkaard not getting the chance to manage us because the americans are prudish (i know what u meant lol), that's a ridiculous reason, surely, wot he can do regarding football is ALL that matters, he was the man who started the barca revolution (i accept he already ad quality players like xavi, iniesta, messi etc. .but real madrid have had galacticos in past and won nothin with them. Rijkaard would play the type of football us red fans crave and players like stevie g and torres (our 2 star attacking players) would thrive with that style of football, also he is the big name manager that pepe and torres insist (allegedly) they would want in charge if they are to stay next season
p.s. i know he had a bad spell in charge of gallatasaray but we got to give him a chance

Yes we all agree Roy must go, but what about the defending for all 3 of the goals vs Blackburn Johnson for the first, The Greek for the 2nd, Johnson and Skrtel for the 3rd these players are nowhere near good enough.So my point is the players are letting the club down aswell its not all Roy's fault.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Yes it is mate, for me he should've played Kelly, Agger and Aurelio. Instead of Soto, Konchesky and Johnson (right wing) and then we probably would'nt have conceeded 3.

Dan Roan (BBC):

Hodgson to hold press conference as planned tomorrow at 1.30

Yeah must mean he is still manager. I'm blaming nesv. Its so f* *ing obv that he should go. I'm thinking macca might be wrong. If that interview goes ahead and it isn't to say that roy has been sacked then I'll go f* *ing mental. He is the luckiest manager alive. Ed you think he'll be here for united? Even if he does we'll get beat 4 0 easy. If that happens and Roy stays in the job then I see fans boycotting games.

{Editor Note: All I've heard is that the owners are considering his future. There is a lot to consider, like who will take charge if they don't get their first-choice manager and things like that. But I don't think they are stupid, they know results are bad and they know fans aren't happy with Hodgson.}

Hate to say it lads but looks like Roy is here at least until after the united game. Dan Roan from BBC confirms Roy will have his 1:30pm press conference tomorrow as usual!

There is no way Liverpool would make him announce his departure at the standard pre-match weekend press conference. . . unless he is voluntarily resigning and I doubt he will do that!

1. Revamp of the coaches and training philosophy
2. Sell, threaten (loyalty bonus etc) to rot in the reserves, Degen, Skrtel, Kyrgiakos, Poulsen, Konchesky, Insua, Spearing(never going to be LFC standard), Lucas(50/ 50), Kuyt, Jova, NGog, El Zar and poss Maxi(doesn't offer 'enough')
Bring back Aqua, buy Aguero(or another top striker like Suarez), Turan, Honda, Contraeo or Cissokho. plus a top, top centre back and defensive midfielder. Bring the younsters through NEXT season when they have players they can look up to, rather than laugh at ffs! The likes of Pacheco, Suso, Sterling(2 seasons maybe), Kelly, Robinson, Ayala etc. .!

Eds - do you think jay is not lfc material? Was he not 1 of the stars in the reserves?

I cannot believe my eyes when i see fans lucky enough to get tickets or have season tickets treating them with utter contempt.

My work and family commitments mean i will rarely see the team at Anfield. I try and get tickets (home or away end) when we travel away close to where i either am working or live (Stoke, Villa, Bham, Wolves). Yet the term rocking horse sh* springs to mind.

Your role quite simply, if you are 'lucky' enough to ever be in a position to attend. Is support the team to the best of your ability.

Now shut up whinging and open your gobs at the matches, and do your job every single one of you.

Your club needs you.

Guys, just read this a moment ago ( via LFC website ) . I think it's more clear and precise than my jibba jabba! Here you go :

I am tired of hearing media pundits and former managers providing their backing to Roy Hodgson as Liverpool manager by proclaiming that "it's not his team" and how he needs time to build his team, or how Rafa Benitez left him a poor squad.

Let's get one very simple thing straight here; was it Alan Pardew's team when Newcastle beat Liverpool in Pardew's first game in charge as Newcastle manager? Was it Steve Kean's team when Blackburn beat Liverpool on Wednesday night?

It is always the manager's team.

The manger's job is to manage the players at his disposal. Whether he signed them or not is irrelevant. The manger coaches, provides the tactics, gives the teamtalks and seeks to motivate the players. If he is not doing this, he is not doing his job.

As for the "Benitez left him a poor squad" argument. Let's look at some good old FACTS;

- when Roy Hodgson took charge on July 1st, Liverpool had more players represented at the 2010 World Cup than any previous World Cup, and more than any other Premier League side had.

- the squad which Hodgson inherited finished second in the Premier League just 12 months previously, with the club's highest Premier League points tally

- Roy Hodgson choose to loan out Alberto Aquilani and Emiliano Insua.

- . and then signed Christian Poulsen and Paul Konchesky

- Roy Hodgson signed Raul Meireles for £11m, then admitted how he wasn't sure where best to play him

A message to all of Roy's friends in the media - 35 years in management without a major honour says it all. He was out of his depth the moment he got the job.

Here's one for you, Kenny Dalglish has won more trophies than Hodgson has won away games in all his time managing English sides.

Food for thought . .

So again we are caught in a lot of words and no action, and talking about baseball, wasn't the Texas Rangers doing quit good under Hicks in the start to?

It's very, very critical for Liverpool FC that they havn't even said a single word for a month now, this is scary times guys!

1. If they wanted to back Roy, the would have spoken now.
2. They always wanted another coach, but thought it could wait.
3. We're getting/ NESV as well very bad publicity right now. No one wanna sign for a club that doesn't have a clue whats gonna happen tomorrow?
4. It's very easy talking about the future, but to act now is the hard one, hardly what the american history is about.

If Roy is still here tomorrow, we're absolutely screwed to be gentle.

Hi Ed Iam a firstime poster, just annoyed at the liverpool fans slating of hodgson, fair enough he is losing the plot under the pressure but alot of fans didn't give him the support from day one which is what true liverpool fans pride themselves on YNWA but hodgson has walked alone from day one, there was never going to be a magic wand waved we are light years behind man ure, chelski, arsenal and now man city and spurs. Anfield is full of negativity and has been for a long time and hodgson is the scape goat, sure he now crumbling and probably too much water under the bridge for him to continue, and rightly so, but there are 11 millionares on that pitch every week playing like a pub team with no heart for our proud red jersey who have alot to answer for.Until the fans get some positivity and togetherness back in anfield I fear for us. sorry for the ramble. . .ps we need at least 5 new players and our own jokers to realise what club the represent

hodgson has walked alone from day 1 cos he was never the right man from day one, , he was the wrong choice to manage us he is not the right guy to help repair lfc back to the way things was, , the players can't perform well cos roy won't let them the way he sets things up the things he tells them to do, , b4 we got hodgson we knew he can't win away and hes proved it even more here at lfc, , he should go now so someone more permanent can come in and have the 6 months to see whats what and who they want in there squad next season and who they don't want in it, , , we all know hodgson won't last past summer at most so why bring someone in then only giving them a few weeks to see whats what and who to keep and who not to keep when u can now and give them 6 months which will give them a better idea of how tings will go next season

The "Stop 'scapegoating' football managers" LMA warning is ridiculous. Every job has constant performance reviews and appraisal's. If you're not good enough you're warned. If you still can't get better at your job then you're gone. Simple. Football is no different.

Roy's already given his own performance review period, "judge me after 10 games." It didn't improve and then we lost to Wolves so he got his warning. It still hasn't improved so he should be expecting to be fired.

"Confidence needs to be restored thoughout the club. Players need to be put in there places. Manager power needs to be bigger than player power. Who is bigger than Gerrard and Carragher? Step up Dalglish!"

Seems to me the club is more at risk from fan power than player power these days! When you have a manager who is that bad they you know he is setting the team up in such a way as to be ineffectual, you try going out there and being all fired-up!

And the same for this sycophantic support for Kenny as the next manager. .shades of Newcastle. .aargh!

Physically, many theories hold no solid boundaries in a fluid universe, newton comments on a body not altering course/ momentum lest another force acts to impede or change said course. .the course is sadly determined. . Sunday we will lose, I will be drunk. . and mancs will gloat, Although challenging the accomplished macca, only after defeat at cold trafford will Roy be gone.

Any recovery only can truely be germinated after rock bottom is achieved. .

NESV are holding to offer momentum to the new manager in the realistic 3 points against Blackpool, adapting the laws of motion to apply to the new king.

They see Sunday as a given and on yesterdays showing. . they would be right.

Signings. . the team. .the fans need to be ignited with the spark only new hope brings, not offered to the defeatism that currently circles the reds.

Applying the scientific method encompasses relativity, posts that suggest millions being spent on players should heed this warning. . to pay money on the orchestra. .without a conductor will lead to a uneasy symphony. .

Foundation is the key aspect to any structure, monies available, relative towards new players, should be lumped on the right manager first and foremost.

And yes. . Roy will go, don't check every hour, a watched kettle never boils. .

Check out the squad, remember the way we played last season, remember according to himself - He never made mistakes and it was always someone else's failing never his - he dragged this club through the gutter with his diatribe and his attitude and left us with the worst squad of players we have had since 1959. Even though I disliked the mans method of playing football, I would never have put into print a call for his sacking - Liverpool fans don't do that.

OK it's just my opinion, but after 50 years a Kopite, perhaps even a dinosaur - but I reckon I'm entitled to one - and Liverpool fans don't talk of boycotting games, don't demonstrate at games about players or managers, most certainly don't boo anyone in a red LFC shirt. Broughton ( a Chelsea fan ) - appointed our current manager, probably checked his CV, realised he was s* te, and did us over, and got a bleeding knighthood out of it, but he is still our manager, I agree he's not up to the job, just like his 4 predecessors. But until he resigns I reckon we are stuck with him.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

There is just one problem with this statment.
Roy will still be manager when he takes us down.
He doesn't do resigning.
I am getting very frightened by the lack of action from nesv. We need some word.
I thought two seasons ago, even in the season that we finished 2nd, that we were turning into the new Spurs. We are in danger of becoming the new Newcastle.
ACTION REQUIRED NOW
BIG MONEY REQUIRED NOW

No matter what way any of us look at the Hodgson situation at the end of the day he will be gone. His position now is untenable as the owners don't want him, the players don't want him and more importantly the fans don't want him. Any way you want to look at it he's gone it's that simple. What i'm supprised at is with all the fans reaction against him and the owners not wanting him is that he hasn't walked. But just goes to show how stubborn he really is as he has seemily no shame.

So please some people get a grip. All this sh*t is not NESV's, Rafa's, Broughton's or even the Romans fault. This is all Roy's fault he had his chance at the biggest club in the world and he blew it.

ED-

Is it just me or is Martin Oneill not one of the most stubborn irritating little man syndrome infected men in football managing history?

Why would people want him at LFC -? He would spit his dummy out after the first dispute and we have had enough "airing our dirty linen" in recent years.

We need to get back to THE liverpool way. .

I also rate Owen Coyle but would not want him as our manager. We need to think a bit outside the box here guys- our side SIMPLY IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

Losing Alonso and Masch killed us and without a top respected coach, we will not be able to attract the very best CM players . .

Currently we have 3 world class players only - Reina, Gerrard, Torres.

And we have 3 really poor players starting week in week out - Konchesky, Lucas, Ngog.

Other members of our squadhave just not performed - Skrtel, Meireles, Cole, to name but a few.

I Truly think we need to either get Kenny in short term to restore the PRIDE AND PASSION. if we lost under Kenny, at least you would never worry "did the playwers actually try for him?"

Otherwise a foreign coach like Rjikaard. Could see him gettin the best out of Babel for one and making Gerrard Torres Meireles Cole tick as an attacking engine. More so - could see him being able to attract the best talents from Europe and S America. .

lets face it, could you ever see Aguero moving to LFC for an inspiring training session with Hodgson, O'Neill, Or even Coyle?

I would like martin oniel to be unvield before the united match he is the only manger out ther that can turn this around and has enough premier league experience. . i hate people giving off about this man but he will bring the glory days back to liverpool. .infact i think he'll do to us what fergie did to united and alot of people will eat their words. . look what he did with villa alot of people are blind to the fact that oniell brought them up the table and was fighting for a champions league spot. this year their fighting for relegation? he turned james milner and ashley young into the men they are today. everybody laughed at him when he bought milner. and they all ate their words. .look wat his price tag soard to and more importantly look where he is today. . he might be at mancity but he is playing without any notice and their is no mention of him. same with gareth barry. if oniell was to come to liverpool. he would develop a strong squad over the next year. he would love to build a team around gerrard n torres n he would even develop some of the players we have into the footballers they should be. . however we have to realise he will just be able to steady the ship this year. but with a few good buys and a bit of backing from mr henry he will be 100% behind our players, our fans and our club. .his managerial tactics are more than just a long ball and the enthusiasm this man shows along the pitch is what we need. . when the players need support he runs up and down motivating them and when they score he shows his pride in every goal. . if they lose he rethinks his tactics. and he lets the team know. . he is also a gentleman and is always there for the fans. he may have fell out with randy lerner but he didn't make a media frenzy out of it and he left gracefully through the back door. this is something rob roy isn't doing or even the spanish tactitan of this mess didn't even do. please please read this and im sorry for going on a bit but im a liverpool fan through and through and that will never change. . but the pain and the sickness of this current form is leaving everyone of us soar. just give this a think. .

"Fair enough NESV are new to our game but i thought that was the point of Comolli? I thought he was supposed to be advising them on football matters generally or is he really just a glorified scout? Surely if he was worth his money he'd have been making NESV aware that change would be necessary sooner rather than later and helping them to action a plan for replacing Hodgson. He managed to get Jol out of spurs with a far better record than Hodgson has. We all know what we want but does anyone else feel that NESV aren't listening? Its easy "Roy you're fired." They should have the press statement already. It always says the same " The club would like to thank Mr Hodgson for all his hard work blah blah blah. ."

I think you forget that Comolli also got Ramos in to take over from Jol. .and look what happened to that!

"Why don't we just get rid of Roy now and get Martin Oneil in. He has done well at other lower clubs. I think with money he could take Liverpool back to our glory days!"

The answer to your question is very simple. .Liverpool is not a club founded on long-ball mentality and that is all MON knows. Please take some time out to study football managers and managing. The you will not post comments like this.

"Fenway Sports are waiting until the mancs and blue noses are out of the way before pulling the plug on Roy. King Kenny will steer the ship with Ian Rush next to him but only up until the summer when a fresh faced contintal manager will be brought in. Fenway don't want Dalglish to be given a baptism of fire against the septics but are bowing to pressure from the fans and he will be our caretaker boss from Jan 17. Believe."

Believe? I think it's only possible to believe that FSG decided to take a true long-term view and that included not making a knee-jerk reaction appointment of Kenny as a stop-gap. I don't want our club to become one where the fans force the owners to follow their whims. thereby lies the end of the Liverpool Legend.

Now I believe Hodgson is not a "good guy" and I believe he has failed in a worse way than any other manager. I also think every day he stays does more damage. But I credit FSG with more nous than many other posters and firmly believe they will do the right, long-term thing for the club, no matter what fans say.

The Manager

My opinion is that in the past under pressure managers would normally be given until the first round of the FA Cup.

My opinion is that we may hear nothing until after the game at the weekend.

The Team

Roy may be a poor tactician and the rest, however, if the players have pride in the jersey they should be able to organise themselves on the pitch.

Would anyone agree with me in saying that Rafa Benitez would be vindicated in some way?
(i.e. We have a limited squad. Therefore possibly we have over performed considering the limited ability of some of the players). Just a thought.

Frank rikaard coming liverpool? why the hell would he do that when we sack managers who lose a few games."

Is that why he's being sacked? Or is it because he's playing long ball, extremely unattractive negative football, sticking his foot in his mouth more times than Poulsen can successfully pass, is side-lining our best defender, is driving fans away in their thousands and is well on his way to challenging for the worst record of any post-war Liverpool manager. He also manages to do all this whilst having a spine of international players at his disposal. We stick by our managers when things are bad, but when they're catastrophic something has to give.

I'd take purple Aki over him right now.

Patience is a virtue as they say, and nesv/ fenway have only been in charge for a few months, and the way business is conducted at anfield, behind closed doors has to be respected. with the roy hodgson situation, you do not have to be a genius to work out that the man is out of his depth and not the right man to take us forward, the owners must know this, in fact if they do not, then that would be a worry on its own! so, with such a majority of fans calling for his head, why don't the owners seem to be listening like they said they would?
maybe this is because with the owners only being in charge for a short time if they sack him now it might look that their hand has been forced , by fans demands and the media would have a field day making hodgson look like the victim, who was not given enough time to prove his worth by nesv/ fenway, who by the way do not want to get a bad reputation, and end up put in the same mould as the previous owners tom and jerry!
when the time is right they will let him go, but when it is the only option; when they will not receive bad press or criticism, and when a decision has been made as to who will replace him, a major decision that they cannot afford to get wrong!
it is just a shame that us fans are left to watch the worst manager that we have ever had , and our team playing the worst type of football, and along with all this the worry that the owners give no indication that they are taking the situation as seriously as us fans know it is! ok, rome was not built in a day, and us reds fans are forever loyal, good or bad, but trust is earned , and actions speak louder than words, lets hope the owners show their loyalty to us and do what is best for our club, and sort out the manager and team situation, soon!

Hi Ed Iam a firstime poster, just annoyed at the liverpool fans slating of hodgson, fair enough he is losing the plot under the pressure but alot of fans didn't give him the support from day one which is what true liverpool fans pride themselves on YNWA but hodgson has walked alone from day one, there was never going to be a magic wand waved we are light years behind man ure, chelski, arsenal and now man city and spurs. Anfield is full of negativity and has been for a long time and hodgson is the scape goat, sure he now crumbling and probably too much water under the bridge for him to continue, and rightly so, but there are 11 millionares on that pitch every week playing like a pub team with no heart for our proud red jersey who have alot to answer for.Until the fans get some positivity and togetherness back in anfield I fear for us. sorry for the ramble. . .ps we need at least 5 new players and our own jokers to realise what club the represent

@ Liverpool Fans have become a joke
complain about everything anyone says about them
Roy was right when he said he hadnt had the support and booing are won players

He's not had his own backroom staff
Not had his own palyers
Not been given any time
not had any support from fans or owners since day 1
we are not the club we use to be
JUST A GENERATION OF SKY SPORTS FANS
A team full of under performing egos
we have won nothing with Torres but we idolize him
he and glen Johnson are everything wrong about modern day Liverpool

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Are you actually for real?? ?

Backroom staff, time and support I'll give you to a certain extent. .Mike Kelly, 1st team coach is from Fulham and Sammy is rubbish(we know that already!) Support has been shocking to be fair, I think Rafa gave us belief again and the last year and half have numbed Anfield into shock - the decibels WILL rise again! !
Own players? Poulsen, Konchesky, Meireles(class), Cole(1st good game, high hopes), B Jones, Wilson & Jovanovic(Rafa buys i guess - finalised by Roy I think?). . Add Gerrard, Pepe. Agger, Johnson, Kuyt(who has been awful I admit, batteries have finally run out) and Torres to that mix, surely we shouldn't have LOST 9 TIMES IN 20 GAMES IN THE PREM with proven internationals. . . . (sigh). Not the club we used to be? What . 2 years ago, should have won the league, no doubt about it, Champions league final 07, FA cup 06. Generation of Sky Sports fans! !? ha ha ha. .fool. You're thinking of Mank Utd, perhaps Chelski. .prob Man Citeh now. .Finally, WE IDOLISE El Nino because he's one of, if not, the VV BEST strikers of his generation. Go check out his scoring ratio to games played. .best thing, living off scraps may I add, since sliced bread or God perhaps.

We need the following to happen asap, latest, the summer, forget this relegation carp, Gerrard and Carra will NOT let this happen I promise you.

1. Revamp of the coaches and training philosophy
2. Sell, threaten (loyalty bonus etc) to rot in the reserves, Degen, Skrtel, Kyrgiakos, Poulsen, Konchesky, Insua, Spearing(never going to be LFC standard), Lucas(50/ 50), Kuyt, Jova, NGog, El Zar and poss Maxi(doesn't offer 'enough')
Bring back Aqua, buy Aguero(or another top striker like Suarez), Turan, Honda, Contraeo or Cissokho. plus a top, top centre back and defensive midfielder. Bring the younsters through NEXT season when they have players they can look up to, rather than laugh at ffs! The likes of Pacheco, Suso, Sterling(2 seasons maybe), Kelly, Robinson, Ayala etc. .!

Manager:? (not sure re the whole thing, players are under achieving BIG TIME)
New Team:
Pepe
Johnson
NEW PLAYER
Agger
Coentrao or Cissokho, (Gibbs perhaps)
Gerrard
Meireles
Turan
TORRES
Aguero or Top Striker

It's that 'easy' guys(lol) - keep the faith lads, support the team, UNITE and we will come through all of this, better fans and hopefully a top team once again.

Think about this finally guys . . My mate is a Utd fan for starters. Just when the Rooney saga kicked off and they were struggling(Chelski looking dominant, even though they( Man U ) hadn't lost! He was actually stating, declaring that he would turn to Spurs as his new 'TEAM'! Thus typifying A GLORY SUPPORTER. We're better than that right??

Poor quality comment. .we do not sack managers for losing a few games as can be seen from our history.

"well if you think about it, the owners will probably be in america and would want to sack him face to face, and he would need time to pack up and have a talk with the players, apologise etc. and guys, i don't think he is a great mananger, at all, but cut the guy some slack i mean hes a nice guy and has done very well with the smaller clubs, remember he was at inter when they wernt so big."

I'm not sure where this impression comes from that he is a nice guy. .he is anything but. He has complete disregard for LFC and is only thinking of himself. Doesn't care how low we sink but he won't resign under any circumstances. His man management appears worse than Rafa's, his press comments abysmal (but of course the patriotic press still exonerates him!)

I'm not a supported of the "fan power" concept as this tend to knee-jerk type reactions, but I think this man is dragging the club to a lower level than it has ever seen; every day he stays in the job is doing more damage, the effects of which will only become fully apparent when a number of star players decide to leave and it becomes extremely difficult to attract good players to the club.

To this. .

"Hi, Im Paul Konchesky's Nephew and he has said that although he knows he hasnt been playing at all well this season, he thinks it is ridiculous the amount of abuse some players (inc. himself) are being given but he thinks the gaffer is being treated 'extremly unfairly'. However despite this Paul has said before the Press Conference tomorrow, Roy will call a meeting with the staff and players to wish them all the best for the rest of the season and will apologise for not being able to help the club in the way he intended to after the mess he picked up from Rafa. When the Press Conference starts he will apologise the same to the fans and will then announce that he has been given the sack. (I know this because my family are lfc fans and paul is very good friends with roy, so paul decided to tell us about what was going on. Dont know why! !)

P.S. According to paul stevie.G's has said if roy gets the sack then he would like to see Gerard Houlierr to return !"

i do not believe it for one second! his mum made it pretty clear she is not a liverpool fan and family members apparently commented back on facebook saying scousers are scum so sorry not having this atall :) i really don't get why people want kenny to come back or do people forget he walked out on the club in the 90's? why go back in the past when we still werent amazing and just move forward and get a completely new manager? i would personally love owen coyle to be manager and i know nobody will agree with but ian holloway is a very good manager! his team plays attacking football everything liverpool fans want long term solution maybe? but for the short term i personally would not know who too get

Just watched the 1st half of the Inter Napoli game, just a few points to make. I have watched Hamsik 8 or 9 times now and he has been linked to us, I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole, lightweight all to easily knocked off the ball no vision workrate is non existent and touch is awful. Dossena jesus what did Rafa ever see in him he is dreadful even going forward, Lavezzi has been quiet but what he has done has been very good, great vision couple of defence splitting passes and great work ethic, never stops running wether his side have the ball or not, could be a great buy. Napoli by far the better team Inter don't deserve there lead they are missing a couple of top players in eto and snijder but having seen them a few times this season how they won a treble is beyond me.

In response to:

LFC BOARD WAKE UP IF YOU CAN'T DECIDE ON ROY AT THE MOMENT PUT IT ASIDE AND SIGN THE DECENT PLAYERS HOW MANY SEASONS DO YOU NEED TO LEARN YOUR LESSON.YOU SHOULD HAVE LOOKED AT THE POOR SOULS WHO MADE IT TO BLACKBURN WHO STOOD IN THE COLD TO WATCH A DISMAL PERFORMANCE LIKE THAT, MAYBE IF YOU LOT SITTING IN YOUR FANCY OFFICES WERE TO PART WITH HARD EARNED MONEY FOR A PERFORMANCE LIKE THAT AND FROZE A BIT MAYBE THEN WHAT ALL US FANS ARE SAYING WILL SINK IN.


Not getting at your post and totally understand the frustrations over the performances and the cash that many fans pay to watch the rubbish. The one issue I have is you say how many season do you need to learn your lessons. . . . . . . . They only took over in October time, they admitted too not fully understanding football and the setup and have tried to put people around them to help with that. This is their first transfer window, so it would be better to judge how you feel about them when it closes. They themselves have said it is a learning experience for them and you have to respect them for it

Personally I feel we will see little spending from them until they have the manager of their choice and more football people around them. I think they are extremely sensible business men who are evaluating every bit of the club and working out their future actions. I think we will see them make a statement of intent to the fans in the summer and no earlier

I think they will get it right with their long term vision and will not rush into knee jerk decisions just too suit the media or public

Physically, many theories hold no solid boundaries in a fluid universe, newton comments on a body not altering course/ momentum lest another force acts to impede or change said course. .the course is sadly determined. . Sunday we will lose, I will be drunk. . and mancs will gloat, Although challenging the accomplished macca, only after defeat at cold trafford will Roy be gone.

Any recovery only can truely be germinated after rock bottom is achieved. .

NESV are holding to offer momentum to the new manager in the realistic 3 points against Blackpool, adapting the laws of motion to apply to the new king.

They see Sunday as a given and on yesterdays showing. . they would be right.

Signings. . the team. .the fans need to be ignited with the spark only new hope brings, not offered to the defeatism that currently circles the reds.

Applying the scientific method encompasses relativity, posts that suggest millions being spent on players should heed this warning. . to pay money on the orchestra. .without a conductor will lead to a uneasy symphony. .

Foundation is the key aspect to any structure, monies available, relative towards new players, should be lumped on the right manager first and foremost.

And yes. . Roy will go, don't check every hour, a watched kettle never boils. .

But the blame should be on the players end of the day. What's Torres been up to? every year we have a game of will he stay or will he go would anyone actually give a s* t if he went this time lol total sulk. Skrtyl, Johnson, The greek Roy didn't sign any of these what the hell they been upto this season.Roy didn't sell Alonso, Roy didn't sign Jovanavic (deal was already done) Joe Cole? was you saying start of the season don't sign him? no neither was I. The only bad signing Roy has made is Konchesky and it's not like he was given lots of money by the former owners to sign a left back and Rafa had already pushed Insua out and Aurelio though Roy got him back and Rafa sold Riise from that position and brought in Dossena who was s* te.This team was already ripped apart by Rafa reason we wernt doing as bad last season is Macherano was still there Carra wasn't injured and Torres wasn't wandering around with a face like a slapped arse

Check out the squad, remember the way we played last season, remember according to himself - He never made mistakes and it was always someone else's failing never his - he dragged this club through the gutter with his diatribe and his attitude and left us with the worst squad of players we have had since 1959. Even though I disliked the mans method of playing football, I would never have put into print a call for his sacking - Liverpool fans don't do that.

OK it's just my opinion, but after 50 years a Kopite, perhaps even a dinosaur - but I reckon I'm entitled to one - and Liverpool fans don't talk of boycotting games, don't demonstrate at games about players or managers, most certainly don't boo anyone in a red LFC shirt. Broughton ( a Chelsea fan ) - appointed our current manager, probably checked his CV, realised he was s* te, and did us over, and got a bleeding knighthood out of it, but he is still our manager, I agree he's not up to the job, just like his 4 predecessors. But until he resigns I reckon we are stuck with him.

I know things are bad at the min and that we are better than this, I was excited when roy got the job. I feel let down but I think he should be given longer and money to spend. I fear that we might end up like newcastle if the correct choices are not made. Newcastle change managers more than the girlsfriends mood and its not good for them proven.

- - -
You've been reading too much Daily Mail and watching too much Spurs Sports News. Roy has done nothing to suggest that he will turn us around.
He was given £20m to spend last summer and he spent half of it on Poulsen and Konchesky, then spent the rest on a player who he "can't quite determine what is his best position" when it's glaringly obvious to everyone else that he's a centre midfielder.
Mate, if we give him longer we might as well pack up, head home and never return to Anfield. I don't believe all this 'threat of relegation' carp, there are at least three clubs that are worse off at the moment, but I do believe we will fall far enough down the table that it would take a few years to pick ourselves back up again.

Okay guys roys not getting sacked today. Possible tomorrow. If not then I'm not happy with nesv. Oh and did you see roys car, nice. How can some ret*rd get that while I work my ass off for f* * all. Any rumors from twitter, means its bulls* t.

The man speaks 5 languages, how many do you? Whatever his failings as Liverpool manager the use of a statement like this show how ignorant some fans really are.

Please LFC BOARD WAKE UP IF YOU CAN'T DECIDE ON ROY AT THE MOMENT PUT IT ASIDE AND SIGN THE DECENT PLAYERS HOW MANY SEASONS DO YOU NEED TO LEARN YOUR LESSON.YOU SHOULD HAVE LOOKED AT THE POOR SOULS WHO MADE IT TO BLACKBURN WHO STOOD IN THE COLD TO WATCH A DISMAL PERFORMANCE LIKE THAT, MAYBE IF YOU LOT SITTING IN YOUR FANCY OFFICES WERE TO PART WITH HARD EARNED MONEY FOR A PERFORMANCE LIKE THAT AND FROZE A BIT MAYBE THEN WHAT ALL US FANS ARE SAYING WILL SINK IN.

How do you know that they can't decide? You know nothing about how NESV operate and what they are doing at the moment. .

Let them get on with their job. Give them time to demonstrate their ability to make the right decisions and get things done. Least of all, don't insult them. .

Ed don't want 2 get on the owners back but they are beginning to look a little clueless to me. . .
Yes they said all the right things when they took over. " They will listen to the fans" They will buy young talented footballers that fit their brief.They will not make a knee jerk reaction with regards to appointing a new manager. .

If they were not thinking about possible new managers before the day they walked in then they have not planned for hodgson to be this s* * and don't have a replacement in mind. . hence the silence. .

Not sure about the appointment of commolli either tbh. not a lot of people inside the game respect him or think he's that good. .

The proof is in the pudding now NESV if you do listen to the fans there is only one thing were saying. .hodgson out now b4 we get relegated. . what are your thoughts ed? {ed's note - I am not convinced on Comolli and I don't understand why Roy has not been confirmed as gone as of yet. But I still trust that NESV want the club to be a success because it is worth more money that way.}

PEPE , AGGER , MEIRELES , TORRES & GERRARD (WHEN THEY BOTHER) ARE THE PLAYERS WE NEED TO BUILD AROUND WITH SOME GREAT YOUNG PLAYERS READY TO COME IN OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS , WE MUST ADD 3-5 1ST TEAM PLAYERS OF WORLD CLASS QUALITY OVER THE NEXT 2 WINDOWS TO GET BACK ON TRACK.

Well it's gone 8 and still no news. Let's now be straight, Roy needs to go ( if not already on his way) but lets be honest, a lot of the players should hang their heads in shame. I honestly believe that roys negative tactics have affected alot of the players but they still pull on the red shirt of lfc. This in itself should be enough for them to want to do their best and win. They pick up their pay packet for doing something i wouldn't give my right arm to do for a living. I would like to be a fly On the wall at the club just to know what this so call argument was at half time last night. It would be interesting to know who are the disruptive players ( the dressing room is obviously divided) and maybe some light shed on the state of play at the club. Another thought, maybe the delay in any news means the caretaker manager will be unvailed.

All the time they played attractive attacking football which we are crying out for and an added bonus is he hates manure and Fergusson with a passion.

Question for all those people who wanted rafa out DO YOU REGRET YOUR ACTIONS just a thought."

Not in the slightest. With Benitez still at the helm the chances are we'd be owned by a shady hedge fund or in administration. No one wanted to buy a club with a politicking manager who was too entrenched to be removed. He was a hurdle to the sale process and for that reason (amongst others) he warranted removal. We may have gone backwards in many respects but at least we are free of acquisition debt and can start the rebuilding process on a sound business footing.

Gotta say, im a bit confused on why some people on here are beginning to turn on nesv, for not removing roy earlier. roy is on borrowed time, and will be gone soon enough, but when he goes nesv can say they gave him time and public backing. no one expected us to be this bad this season.
truth is there is no one out there at the moment, rijkaard, is not seen as the right man due to personal life style (we are lead to believe) O'neal is another rafa in terms of always moaning he wants more money to buy, dechamps , boas etc are not gonna leave mid season, so who else is there? kenny doesn't wanna do the job just till the end of the season, martin jol woudnt work with comolli, so options are slim. they are not gonna wanna pay compensation to roy, and compensation to a club to take there manager which proberly woundnt be there first choice. big decisions are gonna have to be made over the next few days. i would expect roy to go after the everton game, if we lose to united in the cup then lose the derby.

give nesv time, they can not be judged after 6 days of there first transfer window, and no one to replace roy.

News just in. .

Rafa Benitez meet with Liverpool representatives at Anfield for 2 hours to discuss a return as Liverpool manager.

After the first hour agreement was reached and staff at Anfield were told a deal was done and a shared vision for where to take Liverpool was set in stone.

Unfortunately 20 minutes later Rafa openly discussed with some of the Administration staff that he was unhappy with the sandwiches made by the tea ladies that were served at the meeting. A member of the groundstaff backed Rafa's complaints about the sandwiches while a board member called for calm and confirmed no change in tea ladies was planned. Rafa publically called for backing on the sandwich issue and word is the groundstaff and stewards were behind him. Due to the upheavel no contracts have yet been signed, Sky Sports have recieved the story from an 'insider' and plan to run with it tomorrow. . . . .Oh to have Rafa back. . . . . . .

Hi, Im Paul Konchesky's Nephew and he has said that although he knows he hasnt been playing at all well this season, he thinks it is ridiculous the amount of abuse some players (inc. himself) are being given but he thinks the gaffer is being treated 'extremly unfairly'. However despite this Paul has said before the Press Conference tomorrow, Roy will call a meeting with the staff and players to wish them all the best for the rest of the season and will apologise for not being able to help the club in the way he intended to after the mess he picked up from Rafa. When the Press Conference starts he will apologise the same to the fans and will then announce that he has been given the sack. (I know this because my family are lfc fans and paul is very good friends with roy, so paul decided to tell us about what was going on. Dont know why! !)

- - -

A relative of Konchesky?? I suppose you're going to call us 'Scouse scum' too?

The mess left by Rafa?? At least Rafa's 'mess' was a team that finished a poor 7th (which was still fighting for champions league place until the final few games). The top half will be a good end to the season with Roy in charge. Were Liverpool ever in the relegation zone under Rafa? They certainly were under Hodgson.

At worst, Rafa turned a Champions League team into an Europa team. Roy could never even achieve that level!

Roy Out! !

Our next manager might fail, so does this mean we should keep Roy? A manager failing does not take away the previous managers failings!

TheSculptor

i wanted rafa out, he was a good manager but his time had come, in reflection a lot of the problems were to do with hicks n gilette but i stand by my wanting of rafa out, i didn't want him out ridiculously though, i only wanted him out if a better manager was lined up as his replacement. and in no way did i think hodgson was a better replacement. hodgson as manager wasnt anyones call really except hicks n g looking for a weakling at the helm, a compliant fool of a manager. rafa fought many battles for the benefit of the club, however rafa was not witout his own flaws, pigheaded stubbornness , refusal to change his ideas even when things started to slide, he had options he didn't use them.

the way forward is nt in going back to benitez, villas boas klopp laudrup pellegrini all decent choices as new manager.

we are not in our current situation because rafa was sacked, we are there because roy was hired

LFC as a major force for now are finished. Too many duds on high wages, money grabbing directors, owners and other hangers on have crippled the club. LFC need to build a new stadium to keep up with the elite, not going to happen for a long time. Good players, never mind excellent players will refuse to sign for a mediocre club. This is real people, may as well get used to it. If Roy goes nothing changes this cold fact. I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but most people who disagree are just in denial, like I was 12 months ago.

With Rafa everything was made public! NESV just "don't hang out their dirty washing in public".

I am certain after spending the best part of £300million they want to see their investment go down the toilet! NO of course not,
so lets all have a bit of patience and see what happens over the next few days.

No more slagging them or anyone else off, this is not the way the LFC fans do things.

Patience is the key :)

"Ed, should we sign Auero?"
"Ed, what do you think of Honda?"
"Shall we go for Suarez or Gomez?"
"Ed, do you prefer FIFA Manager 2011 or skateboards?"

I can't make my mind up about NESV's intentions at the moment. I hope that their reluctance to sack Hodgson is because they have something clever up their sleeves. I certainly hope it's not a penny-pinching measure.
Personally, I wouldn't like to be in their shoes at the moment re the situation at our Club. Even just a few weeks ago we were looking to January as the Holy Grail for us. Big names were being muted as "possible signings" to lift us towards the top four (we weren't that many points away).
Now we would love to be mediocre. What sort of player are we going to attract now I wonder?
And nobody leaps out as a sensible choice for manager.
Tough times.

I argee if we look at the way that NESV run business and the red sox they run them highly well however don't like many other clubs allow rumours to get around. I believe roy has been sacked or at least told he will be gone by a certain date hopefully tommorow and in the mean time they have been searching and found both a new manager with the top three hopefully being porto manager, King Kenny with Thomo as assisstant along with owen coyle. I think realisticly that last choice would be kenny unfortunatly only because NESV are a company that look at stats and past history and no doubt they will of found out or known about how Kenny couldn't handle the pressure at Blackburn and the pressure at lfc is gonna be 10X that specially as he is a legend for us, For this reason i believe it is most likly to be porto manager although my first choice would be owen coyle i think. It is a easy decision to sack roy but tough one on who to bring in. Its also difficult as there is still no CEO which has taken so long for them to find as they have been looking for a new manager earlier than expected.

Guys- Lets just stay calm. It's pretty obvious that RH will be gone soon. The question is how soon. I am a fan & I know this sounds bad- but the worst thing that can happen in the next few days is "We loose to the mancs on Sun." Considering the last few days & the fact that we're away doesn't bode well. .

BUT Lets stick together & give the owners (NESV or fenway -whatever they are officially called) some slack. I know this sounds stupid, but I think the club deserves some credit for not leaking rumours all over the official media channels (I appreciate with twitter, sites like these etc. that gossip can't be completely eradicated).
There are many streams e.g. the scum, s* te sports news etc. . that want us a s a club to implode. That will only make things worse.

So guys lets stick together and get through this storm, because that golden sky could be closer than we think.

Sorry I haven't brought a rumour to the table, but I thinks it's so important "To keep our heads while all around are loosing theirs." You never know, it wouldn't be a first time where the lads come up with a backs against the wall performance that could get our season back on track. After all they owe us one as they're the ones on the pitch.

its not a bad idea to bring in some1 that has the respect of liverpool and the rest of the europe but im struggling to find any1 that would strike fear into the players at present (tommy smith, john toshack, kenny, or some hard man) to frighten players into playing for thier money or get the fook out our club

Hi Ed, I'm sure Hodgson will go soon, I do feel quite sorry for the guy, he inherited a poor squad and our position isn't all down to him but it's best for everyone if he moves on and good luck to him elsewhere.

Just wondering if you think the delay is because they want to get a new manager guaranteed before letting him go? It wouldn't be great to be without a manager for a few days/ weeks, especially in the transfer market, because it would be good for our manager to have at least some say in transfers.

And who's your personal choice for manager? I'd love to see Villas Boas come, but I don't see why he'd want to really. If not him, I'd like someone who's proved they can work at a club that should be aiming high before, but what do you think?

{editor: I think they could be holding out for a new manager before sacking him, there could be other reasons though. I don't think he inheritted a poor squad. You can't inherit a poor team with Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard and Pepe Riena in it. My personal choice would be Villas Boas as well}

Give the man a chance at least summer
dont forget we played Fulham last season they hammerd us
he had a team of 11 commited players no egos like our pampered pre madonnas
if its not improved at least we can get the right person . . Rafa had one bad season and we called for his head
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Yeah Hodgson and his Fulham were awesome last year!
Remind me again what they won?
How about their league position?
How many defeats did they have?

Really nervous now as the possibility of Hodgy and his Podgy assistant still being here is slowly creeping up. I don't want to go to my first game and see Liverpool lose. What do you reckon Ed? Have I got something to worry about or will he be gone by then? Please post this on the Rumours page.

To people that are thinking like this. .

Aguero to chelsea?
In a 35million bid,
NESV are shh t,
Look at the intent of blackburn's owners in their attempt to bring ronaldinho-its like bringing messi to liverpool.
And they tookover much later mind you. .
Sick man!

Do you not think that the owners have a big enough headache with the Roy saga? My own personal opinion is that I would rather see a manager change before we start buying, because no matter who was signed while Roy is there will be either played in the wrong position or in a negative way!

Let's get the biggest problem out of the way first because no half decent player is going to want to come, for as long as we are heading to the wrong end of the table with the very real prospect of no european football! New manager before the Mancs to give the players a lift and the rest of January to look at new signings.

Which way do some of you fans want it? You all moaned about H&G with Rafa washing their dirty linen in public. . 'this isn't the Liverpool way' you all cried.

Now when you hear nothing from the current owners, you are all busy slagging them off because you're kept in the dark.

So which way do you want it? As far as i can see you seem more content with anything coming out of Anfield whether it justifiable or not.

All you lot do is stir up the masses and get them into a frenzy with no logic and all objectivity lost.

A lot of you are showing a complete lack of knowledge and an alarming lack of intelligence. It is without question that Hodgson will not be here come the summer, that is clear.

You all keep saying he has to go but apart from the knee jerk reaction of bringing back Dalglish you have put together no suitable suggestions.

I'm under the opinion, FSG will not change for change sake or just because a bunch of neanderthals say they must change the manager. What is the point of bringing in someone in a blind panic, only for the situation to get no better in a few months time?

Come on think about it. The atmosphere the fans have created has bought this situation. We, the players and the management are all equally to blame.

We are providing embarrassing and sh*te support, the players are woeful and the manager is inept. It's a vicious circle, the players give the crowd nothing to build on, we get on their backs, we put the manager under pressure, increasing the pressure on the players and guess what? Yes you've guessed it we do not get any better.

Now some of you need to get to stage 5 - acceptance. Accept we are going to have a poor season. The football is not going to get any better, the results, especially away from home will continue to be absolutely dire.

Our home form and the fact that there are at least 3 teams below us worse than us will avoid relegation. But apart from that, that is as successful as we will be.

Seriously i don't know what else you all hoped for last night? 3 points? Good football? You're basing those thoughts on blind faith alone and that makes you fools and as bad as Hodgson in my book.

Now we'd better start supporting the team and drag them kicking and screaming to results, otherwise we all pay a very, very heavy price.

Is this what we want?

I agree with this. I realise everybody has been waiting all day with Spurs Sports News twisting the knife in, but they(NESV) are working in different time zones.

Hodgson is married to Sheila, with whom he has two sons, Christopher and Michael. Roy is known to be a fan of rock band The Rolling Stones. Hodgson is multilingual, speaking fluent Norwegian, Swedish, German and Italian, as well as some Danish, French and Finnish. Roy also enjoys wobbling his chin and screwing Liverpool fans over.[67]

I seriously believe that a lot of the ex players r taking WOY HODGSONS side in front of camera that r actually saving woy from the chop, ie barnes, mcmanaman, keegan etc etc, but behind the scenes I bet they r grilling Roy so much that if they said it on camera the owners will have no choice but to send him his p45 first class asap! I think these ex players r a load of bottlers and should cum up open about it and say woy isn't good enough, Last season Rafa gt stick from all the pundits but coz roy is English and a "good servant and potential England manger" they r being bum chums and nt slating him, I hope some of these ex players read this message and then they mite realize they r lying to us fans and themselves and r actually damaging the club, Liverpool football club is in real danger of being involved in a relegation dog fight if the croydon born well experienced but a unsuccessful manager with a nothing but normal CV is allowed to continue any longer in the dugout of our beloved LFC!
And I hope Roy reads this himself:Roy u r a nice enuf person but I'm very sorry u r nt a tactical manager, u wud do well as a assistant for a big club as in if fergie falls out with a player ul b the type to put ur arm around him and say "dnt wovvy son Fergie jus wants the best out of his players and if u cavvy on tvaining hard ul b vewarded with vegular first team football"!

Evening all,

Taken a back seat and not posted for a while. Think now is a good point.

Firstly our owners know what they are doing. There is no point sacking someone without a replacement. I respect the cloud that has fallen over anfield, no info is a good thing as it doesn't allow transfers/ appointments to be disrupted by the press or other clubs.

As for Roy. . . a manager who has lost the dressing room is useless. If the players are not happy with his tactics then how can you expect them to win games and put performances in? The change needs to be made quickly to stop the slide and settle the squad, a point I believe the owners know.

So who do we get? Well, its a terrible time to hire, Coyle, Di Mattio or Boas are my preferences but all have comitments to the end of the season. I feel for Kenny but from an owners view its not the brightest move. Hes been out of the game for a long time and frankly they don't want to piss him and the fans off. If he does come in I won't complain but my guess is he won't have a look in.

Patience reds fans. Roy's reign is coming to an end.

Realistic Red.

To the ED

NESV seem a tough group and know things to be done in the correct manner. I don't know about their morals but if somehow they feel Gerrard missed the penalty on purpose, can they sack him for being unprofessional. I surely not as it would just kill us completely. As it seems, they seems to back Hodgson after every loss. Blackpool beat us in Anfield in 26 years, Wolves the same, no reaction and now we lose to BR in 24 games, and yet no reaction.

I am somehow feeling they r like the previous yanks all about money and nothing else.

Totally agree with posts asking for the owners to come out and make some sort of statement of intent. "we are looking at 2 or 3 quality signings" would be a start.
If these guys are seriously backing us then surely 30 million plus a few sales would turn our squad around into being at least competitive.
Even the Spurs owners are making noises about signing players. All this secretive nonsense is doing none of us any good, if we want a player lets just put in a bid and get them as soon as possible.
If they believe Hodgson is right then say so, if he is not the right man, pay him off.
The 10,000 more fans which would turn up to watch Dalgish return to the dugout would go some way towards generating cash to fund Hodgsons pay off package.
I'm sure Daglish would help on a 6 month contract to turn things around, he has talked turan, suarez is possible, Honda can play as a striker and i keep saying that Charlie Adam has a fantastic shot, a great eye for a pass and tons of pashion (what say you ED?). Elia and Turan would provide width Honda and Adam some flair and shots on goal.

Adam = 13 mil
Turan = 13 mil
Honda = 12 mil
, babel sale for 9 mil

reina
kelly, agger, wilson/ cara, aurelio
Turan, gerrard, adam, Elia
Honda
Torres

average defense but far better attacking team

The challenge for nesv is to build a squad capable of winning the league.

most people of here find it absurd to think they should be spending 60 million in this transfer window
i do not
man city spent 27 million on one striker, that's the future benchmark , that is what we will have to compete with and we don't have the financial muscle to compete so we need to be smart about spending money

so my ins would be

el hamadoui jax cf 8 million
honda 13 million
gervinho 10 million
m vila 12million
douglas 7 million
gibbs 7 million
marveaux 1.5 million

outs skrtel 8 million( not hALF THE DEFENDER AGGER IS)
NGOG 5 million(will never be a top class striker)
pouslen 2 million not good enough
jova 3 million as above
spearing 1 million
aquilani 12 million juve

new lineup

reina
johnson douglas agger gibbs
- - - - - - - m vila
gervinho- gerrard- cole- honda
- - - - - - - -torres

subs kuyt carra maxi babel meireles marveaux
jones

the strength of the starting 11 and bench is great, we need some erious investemtn and 50-60 million is not too much to ask to rebuild half a squad

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Douglas, El Hamadoui and Gibbs are not Liverpool standard. No matter how much you like them, they are no way Liverpool standard. Replace them with Ryan Shawcross, Luis Suaraz and Fabio Contraeo, then you're getting somewhere.

What do you think ed?

Hodgson has to leave before we get into more danger. Lets learn from the mistakes from Rafa who should have been sacked a year earlier.

Potential managers I would love to see Guus Hiddink he is a proven manager he has had success in almost every stage in football and also is a proven PL manager.

I would also love to see Ralf Rangnick or Joachim Low at the club as both play lovely attacking football but organise there teams defensively well.

As for the squad where do I start I could go on and on to keep it brief. The manager has lost the squad again there is no bonding(the team need a good P!$$ up, the majority of players look as if they do not have the heart to play for the club.

We need new exciting players who are hungry for the game and love playing football instead off the more experienced boys who seem to be just picking up a pay cheque.

The only decision they have made is to bring in Comolli. . .And after completing three months since the takeover, I am starting to think if the owners are acting quickly enough. . . .

They should have had a CEO by now. . . .

David Dein is a very good candidate. . . .wots wrong with him? ?. . . . . there are many around who can take up the job. . . .The guy with Laporta(ex barca president) who presided over the last barca regime(sorry don't remember his name). . . .

Someone please tell me this is just bad journalism. .

I havent had chance to check the Daily Post (usually a good source of true information regarding transfer interests at LFC) so don't know what is real from todays papers and websites.

Routledge, Huth, Ireland targeted? WTF!

Liverpool have been priced out of a move for N'Zogbia. .

Elia now seemingly eyeing a move to a "top" club.

Some german sensation, but Liverpool can't bid for him as his clause only allows him to leave for £5m if a club vying for trophies comes in for him!

JUST WHAT ON EARTH IS HAPPENING TO LIVERPOOL FC?

WE ARE BEING LINKED WITH POOR PLAYERS AND THEY ARE TURNING US DOWN!

I WAS ALL FOR AN ENGLISH MANAGER & SUPPORTED HODGSONS APPOINTMENT, BUT THE ONLY WAY I CAN SEE US GETTING OUT OF THIS MESS IN THE SHORT TERM IS TO APPOINT SOMEONE FROM EUROPE WHO COULD ATTRACT PLAYERS ON THEIR REPUTATION - NOT LFC'S (AND IT PAINS ME TO SAY THAT)

I HAVE BEEN A FIRM BELIEVER FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS THAT OUR SCOUTING NETWORK IS USELESS - WE HAVE FAILED FAR TOO OFTEN IN THE TRANSFER WINDOWS, HAVING PLAYERS COME AND GO WITHIN 6 MONTHS.

I GOT CRITICISED FOR BEING UNSUPPORTIVE OF DOSSENA AFTER A COUPLE OF GAMES, WHEN IT WAS QUITE OBVIOUS HE WAS NOT AN ATHLETE AND FAR FROM BEING A DECENT FULL BACK.

IF GERRARD, CARRA & REINA WALKED FROM LIVERPOOL THERE WOULD BE NO HEART LEFT AT THE CLUB. TORRES DOESNT SEEM INTERESTED AND IRRESPECTIVE OF WHO THE MANAGER IS, BY BEING SO BLATANTLY UNINTERESTED ON THE FIELD - HE HAS SHOWN HOW UNPROFESSIONAL HE IS TOO.

THE RUMOURS OF THE BUST-UP ON THE COACH ARE QUITE BELIEVABLE.

WHEN H & G ROLLED INTO LIVERPOOL AND IMMEDIATELY STARTED LOOKING AT THE STADIUM, THEY SHOULD HAVE PAID A BIT MORE ATTENTION TO THE FRAIL NATURE OF THE CLUB, IN PARTICULAR THE SCOUTS, THE SQUAD AND THE YOUTH SETUP.

I AM SOMEWHAT ASHAMED TO SAY THAT WHILST I HAVE BEEN ON THE SEASON TICKET WAITING LIST FOR 10 YEARS NOW (FOR 2 TICKETS ANYWHERE) I WOULD NOT BUY ONE NOW IF OFFERED IT. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR FREE TICKETS EVERY OTHER WEEK AND THINK MORE ABOUT GETTING COLD AND WASTING 90 MINUTES OF MY LIFE THAN ENJOYING MY BELOVED REDS PLAY FOOTBALL.

I WENT TO EVERY HOME GAME BAR 1 DURING THE "5 CUPS" SEASON AND ENJOYED EVERY SINGLE GAME. EVEN IN SOME OF THE EUROPEAN GAMES AGAINST THE MINNOWS, YOU WOULD STILL BE ENTERTAINED AND EXPECT SOMETHING TO HAPPEN DESPITE PLAYING A WEAKENED TEAM. THAT SAID, WE HAD A CHOICE OF HESKEY, OWEN, CISSE, BAROS. .

ITS CRIMINAL WHATS HAPPENED.

Totally agree, whomever posted this is certainly on drugs! On the back of someone suggesting Big Sam might fit the bill, now someone puts forth that mercenary Ericksson?

Sven "I've been a long life supporter of Sampdoria, no I meant Lazio, God save the Queen, Blue Moon, Viva la Mexico, no Notts County, I love Didier Drogba, oh no I really mean Liverpool, no I meant to say Leicester City" Goran Eriksson, is nothing but a money grabbing philandering git who would "rape" our club quicker then he could get Ulrika's knickers off - NO THANKYOU, the club is in a crisis on the pitch, we don't need Eriksson compounding the problem!

Is anyone else thinking if hodgson is still in control on sunday, the game is very lose-lose?

Either we're gonna get knocked out the fa cup by the mancs or we're probably gonna get relegated. .

It is becoming clear that even if we win a game at the moment it makes no difference whatsoever to the next performance, and is usually followed by a win-free streak.

Rafa should be approached until the end of the season with an incentive of being able to keep the job if by some miracle he can get us into the top four.

My heart says King Kenny but he has been out for a long time. Granted, he did great at Blackburn and Liverpool as a manager but he has been out of the hotseat for so long that we can't A: risk the chance of us being relegated if he couldn't turn it around, it could be dangerous because even if results went against him the fans, the players, the owners and maybe the media would give him more chances which could lead to time running out if results went against us, we would all be afraid to say we want him out and by the time we do we could be down and B: if the worst did happen he would be risking his legendary status (although he will always be loved).

Rafa (for now, just to save us from the very real prospect of relegation) makes perfect sense. He knows the club inside out, he has the passion and the tactical nous. Even if it is until the end of the season he deserves a chance to show what he can do with a steady board behind him.

One thing for sure, Roy must go (before the Utd game, an unlikely win there under Roy might buy him even more time!). And whilst whoever is given the job still has time to freshen up the squad with a few new faces.

What you reckon, Ed?

Hi Eds my first time posting so hope this gets posted.

Just looking at the management situation, everyone is saying Hodgson needs to go but I am wondering if we are looking at the right person. Should Sammy Lee not go instead?

Look at his record, since he has become Assistant Manager/ First Team Coach, we have gone backwards. The players don't seem to know what they are doing. When Pako Ayestaren was there we played good football, now look at us. I don't think it is coincidence either that Rafa has failed when he hasnt got Pako with him

I know Sammy was a great player and involved when Houiller was winning cups but he failed at Bolton and I really think he needs to go.

Roy needs time to buy his own players and play the style he wants. I also don't think Kenny is the right choice either. He has not managed for so liong and lets be honest (this will be controversal) Paisley was still there and I believe he 'advised' Kenny to winning the double. In other words Sir Bob (as he should have been) won the double

Thats my thoughts anyway

Regardless on what we think of Roy Hodgson the owners are showing a clear lack of leadership.

Firstly RH has been hammered in form of media outlet since the defeat to Wolves. Honestly I would have walked under that. If he was being backed not once have we heard an ounce of support from the owners saying we back him and will give him money to spend in the Jan window.

Also Stevie G as captain if he supported RH he would have been out saying to the fans we back him so lets support him

We have nothing so its left with the mess we are in. I just want some answers either way.

You're assuming that what he wants and what options are available to him will somehow be in conjunction. VdV wanted to go to Bayern or Arsenal but neither were in for him so he settled for Spurs as his only route out of Madrid limbo. Elia is no different, if he stays out of favour at Hamburg then he'll eventually likely have to choose between bench warming or whoever shows some interest in him.

Hey lfc fans. . .

hodgson unfortunately will not be sacked. .
so all these comments that. .he will be sacked at 1pm before the blackburn game. before the man u game. .by 5-6 pm. .are just rubbish because no-one has any facts.

what we all should realise is that if your gona sack someone. it will be done quick and easy. .

so we lost yesterday. we will lose more games this season. .and he won't be sacked"

Brilliant logic, it's not like Benitez' last two exits have been drawn out affairs and the news broke here days before O'Neill was sacked? Hughton, Zola, i could go one but you get the picture. Sackings rumble on until a settlement is sorted and a replacement found, they are rarely, if ever, quick and easy.

Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson is confident Daniel Agger will be going nowhere during the winter transfer window.

Denmark coach Morten Olsen has been reported as advising Agger to consider leaving the club as a turbulent season continues at Anfield.

But Hodgson has rubbished the reports, saying the 26-year-old centre-back has no reason to leave now he is back in the starting line-up after regaining full fitness.

"His future has never been in doubt, " said the Reds' boss.

Close friend

"I am a close friend of Morten Olsen and I don't believe for one minute he would involve himself in the business of Liverpool Football Club.
"That story you can dismiss. If he said he would like to see Daniel playing regularly that is another matter.

"Now he is fit, perhaps he will be playing regularly, so the question does not come up."

Agger made just his fourth league start of the season in Wednesday's 3-1 defeat at Blackburn.

The Danish defender has spent three months out injured this season and is contracted to Liverpool until the summer of 2014.

ssn are just full of crap . agger did not start the match last night for one . just like to stir sh;te up

I have read some complete and utter garbage on rumours and behind the scene stuff.
the fact is whilst people like it or not we are just not good enough to compete in the premier league. FACT no motovation no life the bucks stops at roy

IMO we have had too many defensively minded managers and if players are there long enough they too will become negative (torres) plus too many bad signings that are just at our club for the money bleeding the club.(aquilani poulson konk maxi the list go on)

the solution is simple bring in a manager whos has a heart and passion for liverpool and simply state if we are gona go down we are gonna go down fighting and if the crap we have at present do not perform then they can go with Woy too then mr john henry may have to spend big money in our club to attract big players but at present we are on a sinking ship and players have no back bone our courage to fight for our status as one of the big teams in europe it really comes down to motivation, the motavation can come from many things.
1 crowd support
2 manager and staff
3 money

ultimately a man who will motivate the Players, fans, media and will ignite a poor season into something positive and will fight and not hide and moan from the pressure of this job

Read his new book, he'd love to have it!

In my opinion, he shouldn't take it and should continue with his present role at the club, as I believe he's got a great future re-building Liverpool FC using the youth set-up and structure.

His present role (apparently) is that of an 'ambassador' but I suspect he's got a little more influence - keep it at that Kenny! !

I can understand everyone's frustration waiting to hear about Hodgson's sacking, but you have to remember that NESV have around 16-20 members (if I remember correctly), and they will have a telephone/ video conference and progressing through the urgent issues at LFC. Once a decision has been reached and ratified, only then will we know whats happening. My moneys on the conference taking place right now (11am boston time). I believe that NESV will move very quickly to negotiate with whoever is coming in on an interim basis.

Expect things to move very quickly in next 24 hours.

Spot on, alot of sense in this post. I believe a desition is or has already been made and can only be the removal of Roy Hodgson as our manager. NESV have invested a lot of money in our club and will not want to see that investment deteriorate with the awful and inept performances from the players with this man in charge any longer. They will lose all credibility if they allow the situation to drag on, we are talking about high profile businessmen who value their reputations as winners.

We have to do something! our great club is going down hill rapidly , 12th in the league , lost to newcastle blackburn wolves blackpool stoke this season already ( and northampton in the cup! ) , being linked with players like robert huth , stephen ireland , bentley , ccole ( these players aint good enough! ) theres man city buying dzeko and us being cheap sh* , why do liverpool always buy cheap rubbish players , NESV need to do something quick , roy should of gone a long time ago why is he still here?? ? this is not the liverpool i know , we need to do something! can we contact nesv or anything? or do a protest , i know ed you don't agree with it but cmon this is not good enough !
The manager and the transfer targets are not good enough!

Well seems nesv are blind and are willing to lets our club sink even futher. Surely daglish or rafa cud return for half the season.

On the upside, there are many gud players out there who have said they wud like to cum to liverpool, or havnt been linked with any other big club or are at an poorer one. These are sum players i believe we cud still attract.

LW - Bryan Ruiz or Arda Turan 10 - 15m
ST - Luis Suarez or Adebayor 15 - 18m
CAM - Keisuke Honda or Miralem Pjanic 11 - 13m
CB - Mertascker 10m
LB - Taiwo or Antonio Lopez 2 - 4m

I can understand everyone's frustration waiting to hear about Hodgson's sacking, but you have to remember that NESV have around 16-20 members (if I remember correctly), and they will have a telephone/ video conference and progressing through the urgent issues at LFC. Once a decision has been reached and ratified, only then will we know whats happening. My moneys on the conference taking place right now (11am boston time). I believe that NESV will move very quickly to negotiate with whoever is coming in on an interim basis.

Expect things to move very quickly in next 24 hours.

Spot on, alot of sense in this post. I believe a desition is or has already been made and can only be the removal of Roy Hodgson as our manager. NESV have invested a lot of money in our club and will not want to see that investment deteriorate with the awful and inept performances from the players with this man in charge any longer. They will lose all credibility if they allow the situation to drag on, we are talking about high profile businessmen who value their reputations as winners. They must know by doing nothing at the moment is a recipe for absolute disaster and they would be as much to blame as Hodsons philosophy and tactics are right now. I have no idea why he is still in charge as we all still write in but I can only conclude it has to be because of formalities and tying up loose ends and red tape.

What's happened - as fans we are sounding like the bloody bar codes and other so called BIG clubs.
We are going through a very poor time/ transition, which began when King Kenny dropped us in it with his sudden resignation after the Everton game - we have never truly recovered from it with a string of very poor managerial appointments and an amazing amount of very very bad buys of players not fit to wear the Red shirt.
What we need now is to find players that want to wear the shirt and if necessary die for the club ( just a saying by the way - don't really mean die ), we called for Souness to go, we called for Houllier to go, we then called for Benitez to go and now we are calling for Hodgson to go - and we are still no nearer to the Holy Grail -

I think Hodgson will stay (sadly), and if he does, try treating him like RAFA was treated, everyone seems to say you can't go back with managers, but can we go back to being what Liverpool fans stand for - fair and knowledgeable, with a lot of humour as well.

Sadly I slipped into " get him out " mode, being Benitez's biggest critic, I'm now trying to bring my thinking back to what it was like when I first started to go in the late 50's - LFC is all that matters, it's my religion and if you wear the RED shirt as a player then you are a very lucky footballer to play in front of the best fans in the world.

1.dalglish
2.owen coyle
3.villa boas

all have experience in premier league unlike the other top options.dalglish would be good for short term and i would like either of the last two.but they WILL NOT leave mid way through a season.both are doing well.porto breaking records and bolton over achieving.so we must be realistic hodgson must go i believe if we lose to blackpool he will go.bring in dalglish til summer with view to get coyle or boas.get couple of players in now such as honda adebayor elia then spend big in summer.ship out the carp.this is what we need.

Roy will not be sacked today.

Even though there was an altercation between several senior players and Roy at half time last night, NESV are prepared to wait until they have a replacement lined up. They DO NOT wish to give the role to Kenny for any length of time. This will unfortunately lead to those players leaving the club in the future. :-(

If I were a betting man (which I am not) I would have a sneaky flutter on Roy going at the end of the season.

Read the bottom bit mate.
If you post stuff like this -

"So NESV, pull your heads out of you backsides and let us know whats up. Put you vast amounts of cash up for some needed players and do something about the Manager one way or another.!

-then you read what others wrtote earlier today!

""We should also try to accept one thing that really will upset a lot of fans.
If we accept that fans are the lifeblood of clubs, then we also have to accept that ultimately it is NOT the fans that control the clubs, but rather they keep the blood flowing and the passion alive. Regardless of your views about what you pay and how long you have supported the club, it belongs in ownership and financial terms to a group of American businessmen from Boston. It is their money that bought the club and bankrolls the playing staff.
I know, I know, it's not what you want to hear, but it is the truth. This is not a fan-owned club like some in the Bundesliga and Spain; it is not financed by the gate receipts; it does not count solely on the income from the club shop. It makes its money from SKY and the Premier League payments. It is hard to swallow, but it is true. You, me, Joe Bloggs and the bloke in the pub are simply transient supporters who spend our lives worshipping the colour and club and pass on. That's our role and our reward is our passion.""

A lot of people talk about the possibility of replacing Woy with Laudrup. I personally would see Laudrup as an interesting choice. He does favor creativity and offensive mentality, which in many ways reminds me of a certain . . special one.

However I find it very unlikely that Laudrup will be our next gaffer. Not that he wouldn't be able to lure away from Mallorca I think, but he is in most peoples' minds the only true replacement for Morten Olsen to become the next Danish National Coach, when Olsen's contract is up in 2012 (he has already confirmed, that he will not be extending the contract).

I defo think we should go for a manager with the mentality of Laudrup og Mourinho. With those two in mind, I would put prefer either, Boas, Rangnick, Rijkaard or Deschamps. What do you think?

Does anyone agree that a big part of NESV's problem is that they are too far removed from the club?

Being based in America they just do not feel the emotional groundswell that is being generated.

It is one thing to receive reports, hold conference calls, look at the balance sheets, etc but it is quite another to be close to the day to day events.

Is it feasible that there is a gap in the emotional connection with the club.

I fully realise that you don't make the best decisions, especially business ones, based on emotion, however, we are not talking about any old business here. Our club, our religion, is being hcuked with. .still.

Sick of these so called pundits, they are terrified of telling the truth, Hodgson is out of his depth, they keep silent because he is English and one of the best of a bad bunch, of English managers.

Lets be honest They spent the last couple of years moaning about Rafa playing a zonal defence system. Compare last season or the one before, zonal, with the shambles in defence this season.

Hodgson blames Rafas squad, after the first couple of weeks of last season Liverpool were never lower in the league than eighth, that looks good now.

The lack of movement either way from NESV on whether to sack or keep Hodgson is affecting the whole club.
The owners need to either back or sack him, its as simple as that.
Back him - give him a few quid to sign some players (Honda and Sakho please!) and give him the til the end of the season to prove himself. If the owners publicly say this, it removes a lot of pressure and uncertainty on the manager, players, staff etc. All this speculation is helping nobody!
Sack him - tell him he isn't up to it and bring in someone who is. We have missed out on Pellegrini and Aguirre, and Rikjaard is available - he is the sort of manager with proven success who is out there.
Caretaker - Dalglish is the only option, but very difficult to sack whatever happens.

Roy won't go before the utd game if he was going to be fired it would have been done earlier today. . nesv waiting for the right replacment.

====

By which time we could be in the Championship and the right replacement won't be interested, along with the right players.

NESV have got to act now.

This isn't about 'the Liverpool way' giving the manager a chance to stamp his mark.

This is cold, hard professionalism and business.

Roy Hodgson has simply got to be sacked.

Even he said to judge him at Christmas. Well by Christmas we were sh1t. x2 weeks later and we are staring at catastrophe.

If theowners don't get rid of Roy, I feel fans will turn against them too, iv read few ppl saying kenny dosnt want the job, I for 1 don't believe this for 1 minute, the only way he won't take the job is if the owners have his hands tide, he made interviews cpl months back saying he regreted leaving and would love to lead the club again. So there for if kenny doesn't get the job, I'd like to know why? He is the only man at the minute with the heart/ respect needed to get the club out of the hole it's in.

Hi ed - just say king kenny became manager. (which is what most of the fans want - not me though) and nothing changed results wise. how many so called "fans" would call for his head as well. this will happen to every manager that comes here and that will put off potential good managers coming in the long term because of the attitude of the "fans" and board.

what your take on it ed?

Can't see any justification in waiting for summer for "the right man".
By then we'll be relegated (can anyone really see things improving under this chump) our top players will leave and how will we be able to convince a good manager to take over a championship team. Now is the time for change, give someone else the chance to bring players in.

I think we've lost Mata to Arsenal
Just got a text saying that Wenger is trying to push through a cash + player with Carlos Vela going the other way. Don't know if this is 100% because this specific source is not always correct. If anyone else has something on this, give us some clues. Ed?

{Editor's Note: As far as I am aware Mata is not a Liverpool player - so I don't see how we could have lost him.}

I can understand everyone's frustration waiting to hear about Hodgson's sacking, but you have to remember that NESV have around 16-20 members (if I remember correctly), and they will have a telephone/ video conference and progressing through the urgent issues at LFC. Once a decision has been reached and ratified, only then will we know whats happening. My moneys on the conference taking place right now (11am boston time). I believe that NESV will move very quickly to negotiate with whoever is coming in on an interim basis.

Expect things to move very quickly in next 24 hours.

Is anyone else getting fed yp with carp yonks trying to run football clubs? Glaziers, H&G and now our saviours NESV or whatever the hell they are called.
A bunch of chicken farmers are in charge at Blackburn and they have allready tried to sign Ronaldhino (a failed but positive intention), Man city waste no time in splashing 28 million on dzeko(spelling). Why have we not bidded for Turan, Sanchez, Elia, suarez, Llorente ect? What about Charlie Adam to replace some of the carp we have in midfield? Surely a bid is not a tap-up?
Our manager is clearly out of his depth and the players are clearly not playing for him and hate his tactics. We are 10,000 down attendance wise in home matches and just about every liverpool fc fan is pulling there hair out trying to understand why Roy was not sacked weeks ago.
I'm starting to get the impression that these money men from NESV have not got a clue about the traditions of LFC, just the same as H&G. They have allready been told bu 90% of fans during a phone in/ web debate session that they want Roy out. THIS IS WHY THE ATTENDANCE IS DOWN BY 10,000.
Why is there no statement fourthcoming about our shocking league position and how this may be improved?
Why is there no statement regarding the intention to improve our team in the transfer window?
Why is there no statement either backing or sacking Roy?
Surely some sort of communication might ease the fans fears.
The fans that pay good money to watch their once great team home and away, week in and week out. The same fans that are actually worried about a relegation battle which in its self is unbelievable.
We finished 2nd in the league 2 years ago, We have been in 2 champions league finals in the last 5 years.
Do NESV even know this?
This is liverpool FC and these takeover jokers are behaving like they are in charge of Rotherham.

So NESV, pull your heads out of you backsides and let us know whats up. Put you vast amounts of cash up for some needed players and do something about the Manager one way or another.
Wishful thinking that someone sensible may read this?

The official website hasn't been updated at all today. Normally after a game the next day the website has like photos and comments. Are they preparing for a hammering later?? They did this with the takeover and with the Miereles signing.

No point in speculating untill something comes up on the website.

If i was liverpool, i'd be getting on the phone to mourinho and trying to persuad him to come here in say 1 maybe 2 years, promising him what he wants. This would be the best bet as hopefully get some of the real players following him here.

Hopefully hodgson leaves today giving the new manager time for buying the players he wants, to be honest the only reason i think roy isn't out is because we haven't got a replacement ready.

He won't quit, he would be giving up a significant payout. He will go by ""mutual consent".

Don't think so he knows nothing and is proving himself to be weak and not up to facing mr h

With the state of our club at the moment the decision NESV make about Roy could make or break this club for many years to come, if they keep him i fear relegation and a mass exodus of the few quality players we actually have, if they sack him (which they better do) then i think with a new manager (either owen coyle or the bloke from porto) and a couple of good signings could transform the rest of this season then with serious investment in the summer we could really kick on and be back up there challenging for the title.

He won three cups when he left rafa took over and won champions league with gh team? Roys left with the players who don't seem hungry enough who get paid a lot ov money to play I think we should give roy time an money to spend if that doesn't work sack him but who will we bring in more money.

To the guy who said:

Think we should start a new BootRoom

Get Alan Hansen in for 6months to work with the defence who have been shocking this year then get Sami Hyypia back as a player/ coach , Get someone like Jan Molby or Jamie Redknapp back to show our Central Midfielders how to pass the ball forward, Get Phil Thompson on the coaching staff, John Aldridge working with the strikers and Didi Hamann to come in and slap Poulsen and Lucas into shape and teach them how to hold the midfield, and actually tackle, get John Barnes to come in to teach ALL our players how to run with the ball and take people on, Get Kenny in as manager with Roy Evans assisting till the end of the season

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I agree and disagree with this.
I agree we should start a new boot room mentality. But ongoing. This does not involve past (10-20 years ago) players becoming coaches etc, it should be current (recent) players, remaining at Anfield when their playing careers are over and becoming part of the coaching set-up. .e.g., Carra, Gerrard, Hyppia. so the Bootroom set-up is there for the future. Can't implement this short-term.

I seriously believe that a lot of the ex players r taking WOY HODGSONS side in front of camera that r actually saving woy from the chop, ie barnes, mcmanaman, keegan etc etc, but behind the scenes I bet they r grilling Roy so much that if they said it on camera the owners will have no choice but to send him his p45 first class asap! I think these ex players r a load of bottlers and should cum up open about it and say woy isn't good enough, Last season Rafa gt stick from all the pundits but coz roy is English and a "good servant and potential England manger" they r being bum chums and nt slating him, I hope some of these ex players read this message and then they mite realize they r lying to us fans and themselves and r actually damaging the club, Liverpool football club is in real danger of being involved in a relegation dog fight if the croydon born well experienced but a unsuccessful manager with a nothing but normal CV is allowed to continue any longer in the dugout of our beloved LFC!
And I hope Roy reads this himself:Roy u r a nice enuf person but I'm very sorry u r nt a tactical manager, u wud do well as a assistant for a big club as in if fergie falls out with a player ul b the type to put ur arm around him and say "dnt wovvy son Fergie jus wants the best out of his players and if u cavvy on tvaining hard ul b vewarded with vegular first team football"! U r absolutely clueless, u dnt get the best out of world class players like Joe Cole and u gt a cheek to say Joe Cole is nt performing! Hw about asking urself that if ur performing or nt! Also please please please take konchesky and the rugby player poulsen wiv u!
Ed what do u think of my overall opinion pls b honest about it?

I was one of these Liverpool fans who was backing Roy thinking it could only get better. But after the terrible performance at Blackburn who had 10 first team players out and began looking at the facts 9 defeats in the league out of the league cup currently lying in 12 position and just 5 points off the bottom. Roy has made some mistakes attacking the fans, johnson and cole through the media. And transfers, Konchesky is not a Liverpool player. Torres does not look interested. And we are just playing very bad football, We can't pass we can't tackle and we can't score (we've let in more goals than we have scored) His underdog philosophy may work on a mid-to bottom half team like Fulham, but with the players and fans of the calibre he has at Liverpool he is way out of his depth. it has now been half a season and Roy did get a bit of pre season with the squad and im now beginning to think how much more time does he need. I now firmly believe we need a new manager. Ive heard Martins name about who i know will be a great manager for Liverpool due to his man manegment skills and he does get the best of everyone in his squd wherever he has been. We also need quality not quantity in this transfer market and should be concentrating on the liverpool now, Not the "liverpool squad of the future".
A senior Liverpool source has told Sky Sports News that the club's owners have yet to decide on Hodgson's future, but that they are 'very discouraged' by recent results.

I diagree with the notion that roy was a dead man walkng even before he took the job. yes the majority wanted dalglish to take over and yes the majority were mostly disapointed at hodgsons appointment but i believe most of us were prepared to sit back and see what he did before judging him and most of us gave him until christmas to start putting things right. christmas has come and based on his woeful football philosophy the team has slumped and its stars not perfrming, for this reasn having sat back and watched to see f roy could do anythng(ie giving him the beneft of the doubt) it s time he is gone, he isn't good enough, a record of one win in 28 away attempts isn't good enough for a club in the relegation zone. i remember derby finishing the season with 12 points and they had a better away record that that. no right now i will be very diapointed with the new owners if they fail to act at what is a very important point in their budding ownership f the club

There are only 2 teams in Britain that do not 'sack' their managers , Liverpool & Glasgow Rangers. Both these teams are the most decorated teams in world football and theres a reason for that , both have fabulous support and both are similar in having faith in their managers. IF and i stress IF Liverpool get rid of Roy then it will be due to his resignation and that could take a while to sort out the legal s*eep that goes with it . Lets just accept he is our man and start backing him to the hilt and if we are going to get on anybody's case then get on the boards case , we need massive decisions and moves by the board UP THE LFC . .YNWA . .

Stick with it and support the new owners.

Soo it looks like 'Roy the Boy' is going to be around a while longer eh?
Well then this will effect our transfer targets and therefore we should aim for players that will improve the side and want to play for us aka Jarvis, Honda etc. .

It looks like it could be the summer before any real classly players come on board only after we have sorted our 'house' out. But its not all bad news. . alot of players would love to play for Liverpool whom arent known to be world class like Chris Brunt. I believe if you need width (which we do!), want a player who will work his socks of (which Brunt will), and be some value in footballing terms then we are gonna have to be smarter in the transfer market.

Dont get me wrong I would love the likes of Hulk, Suarez playing for the 'pool' but it ant gonna happen in the short term! Lets use our heads and our youth at the club and get out of this mess with some sort of respect that we sould carry! !

We are in a relegation fight now and only inspiration can get you out of that mess an ex player of the club or a proven manager who is about fight & passion (regardless of style) until the end of the season where we can then start again and rebuild.

Owen Coyle is my prefered choice.

*Sorry we are stuck with the Konk, he has already played for 2 clubs this season and FIFA's rules state he cannot join another.

In that case stick him in with the youth team and let them show him how to play football. Or better yet, handcuff him to a lampost outside anfield And let the scousers have their way with him!

I must say I'm quite disappointed in what NESV/ FSG have done since they arrived. We treated them as the saviours as anyone was better than H&G, and were drawn in by the similarities between ourselves and the Boston Red Sox. But in reality what have they done?
They've brought in Damien Comolli, who from respectable figures in football-namely Wenger-is no-more than a scout, who blows his trumpet and makes himself look a lot better than he is. If they're looking for a new manager, they've shot themselves in the foot with Comolli - has a reputation of interferring and a new manager will have to be willing to work with a DoF
They've kept a manager who's results have been unacceptable since he arrived - this is the worst start since 1953-54 season - i think Roy was around 10 years old then. If you have a strategy of wanting the best young players, and have a old fashioned manager, in my opinion it won't work! They said they will listen to the fans, who have spoken with their feet - 35,000 at Bolton game-lowest attendance in years. Like Roy they seem to have a whole host of excuses- we're new to this, january is a bad market, roys new here too.
Here is a time to be decisive - sack the manager, bring in a new manager (once the job is available it will be the hottest job in football), back the manager financially and get us heading back in the right direction!

Hi all, been reading this site since i found it in the summer, would just like to give you all an insight into roys management style and maybe this is why he can't get the players playing with pride, passion and commitment.

i am friends with jimmy corbett who used to play for blackburn also when roy was manager, i spoke with him about what roy was like with the team and he told me roy was a nice bloke, but he also said that even when blackburn lost games he would never shout at the players but would just pat them on the back and tell them well done better luck next time.

so if this is how he manages then i can see why we are losing alot more than we should be.

joachim loew would be my choice as next manager what do u think ed?

I was one of these Liverpool fans who was backing Roy thinking it could only get better. But after the terrible performance at Blackburn who had 10 first team players out and began looking at the facts 9 defeats in the league out of the league cup currently lying in 12 position and just 5 points off the bottom. Roy has made some mistakes attacking the fans, johnson and cole through the media. And transfers, Konchesky is not a Liverpool player. Torres does not look interested. And we are just playing very bad football, We can't pass we can't tackle and we can't score (we've let in more goals than we have score). it has now been half a season and Roy did get a bit of pre season with the squad and im now beginning to think how much more time does he need. I now firmly believe we need a new manager. Ive heard Martins name about who i know will be a great manager for Liverpool due to his man manegment skills and he does get the best of everyone in his squd wherever he has been. We also need quality not quantity in this transfer market and should be concentrating on the liverpool now, Not the "liverpool squad of the future".

In reply to post earlier asking if we kept faith with Roy, he bought quality players and we finished 4th - would we eat our words? I'd eat my shorts nevermind my words. FACT whoever takes over from Roy (case of when not if this week) we will still not finish 4th! We will end up double figure points away from 4th spot and that's with an exceptional 2nd half to season. Face facts this season is a right off - top half at best

I want a manager that says we are Liverpool we don't worry about opposition and what they are doing we force them to worry about what were doing. Were gna go out and attack with full force who ever is put in front of us and if we lose so be it we get them next time atleast we tried to win and when we don't have the ball we will pressure and get in the face of every player that has it until we get it back. Who fits that criteria ( Ed any idea ) obv there more to it but can't be bothered to get it all down. Redchris

Good shout. Roy has a team of internationals, theres teams above us who haven't, so he can't moan about the team he inherited, a decent manager would make it work. All our successful teams in the past were't full of worldbeaters (Houghton, Whelan, Mcmahon, Kevin Mcdonald, the Kennedys, Sammy Lee, Thommo to name a few). They just had a good manager.

I see a lot of posts stating that we will be a championship side next season if nothing is changed. That would be a great disappointment to me and millions of fans the world over.

But, look at what happened the last time we was in the lower division.

We appointed another lower division manager that changed everything that the club had been doing from top to bottom, and gave us unprecedented success for the next 30 years.

Going down a division would hurt, but sometimes not all steps back are as disasterous as they seem.

I have a conspiracy theory. The Players that aren't performing are backing Roy (i.e. Cole, Lucas, Soto, Konchesky etc) and this is creating a rift in the dressing room with players like Reina, Torres & Stevie who are frsutrated no end with this drab football. Certain players don't want Woy to go as he is taking all the heat off them!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Here's what I think. Football players are just people like you and I. Some have guts, some don't. The players you mentioned as Roy backers have either just arrived at the club or in Lucas' case have just settled into the first team. I doubt Cole, Soto or Konchesky would dare open their mouth and speak up against established senior players to keep the heat off themselves. There's no-one who is more quiet than an underperforming footballer (except Carra!). That's why I believe that if there were harsh words exchanged it probably was the captain doing his job and telling the team to man up. Besides, if that group had any guts at all, they'd have more than one away win this season. Just a thought.

Read this on here last night I think. Someone suggested rudolfo borrel as temp and I just couldn't decide whether that's a good shout or not anyone else have an opinion? Redchriss

Interesting idea but I think it's a non starter as we currently don't have enough of the youngsters the first team squad & Rudolfo is an expert at developing young talent, it may be a good idea to promote him to reserve team manager and let Carra work with the U18s once he's done his badges, that was Rudolfo can work with the new Manager to ensure the best kids make their way into the first team squad as youth will play an increasingly important role as we slowly start the climb back up the ladder

"The Madness of King Roy XIII"
I try hard to not post twice in a day as I feel everyone should have a chance to say something, but needs must!

There is too much appalling navel-gazing in recent postings.
Too much emphasis on living in the past and it's scary.
"Bring back Aldo, Thommo, Roy, Rushy . . "
"Bring back King Kenny . . "
"Get Carr in to change the world . ."
"Bring back the bootroom principles . ."
"Take us back Oh Lord to when we were winning things!"

These are dreams!
I will try not to repeat myself, but as a supporter with 40+ years under my belt, maybe I should be saying the above. But I am not!
I want to live in a new Liverpool era where we are back at the top and winning with style.
The future is not the past guys.
Let my heroes sit in the stands and let us move on . . but . . a few caveats.

It is human nature to attack and complain when things do not go your way. This is what has happened with the current manager. This will also happen to the new manager unless we talk to ourselves before any appointment is made.

Roy was never popular because a groundswell of opinion wanted Kenny Dalglish. This mortally wounded the new manager before he started. This will happen again unless we eschew the idea of Dalglish once and for all. I do not want him as our next manager for reasons I gave in TMOKR X, XI and XII. If we accept his eternal place in the stands, then we can give the next new manager a decent run.

We should also try to accept one thing that really will upset a lot of fans.
If we accept that fans are the lifeblood of clubs, then we also have to accept that ultimately it is NOT the fans that control the clubs, but rather they keep the blood flowing and the passion alive. Regardless of your views about what you pay and how long you have supported the club, it belongs in ownership and financial terms to a group of American businessmen from Boston. It is their money that bought the club and bankrolls the playing staff.
I know, I know, it's not what you want to hear, but it is the truth. This is not a fan-owned club like some in the Bundesliga and Spain; it is not financed by the gate receipts; it does not count solely on the income from the club shop. It makes its money from SKY and the Premier League payments. It is hard to swallow, but it is true. You, me, Joe Bloggs and the bloke in the pub are simply transient supporters who spend our lives worshipping the colour and club and pass on. That's our role and our reward is our passion.

I've always felt this is the issue with the Newcastle fans - too much say in what happens with the club. My belief is that a benevolent dictator can make a business, country, club run in workmanlike way. We are in current danger of replicating this Newcastlle style problem at Liverpool.

*I want Frank Rijkaard, Ada Turan and Kesuike Honda to sign for us.
*I want to sell Poulsen.
*I want Jonjo Shelevey to be a regular in the side.

I want all this and much more because I think as I pay my season ticket, turn up and buy a replica shirt, go to away games and talk about nothing but Liverpool FC, that it entitles me to almost dictate how the club runs.
WRONG!
This is part of the problem that Ebbsfleet United have had with their Internet owning adventure.
I can speak my mind and if the owners don't listen, I can stay at home, support another club or just moan about it.
I will not do any of that.

NESV are making progress and it is disrespectful of posters to say they are being mugged by them. These people own the club and I trust them to get it right. But not today or tomorrow and NOT by splashing millions away fast anf furiously.

A dose of reality is needed among supporters.
Stop threatening to boycott the games - just do it and stop bleating if you think that will help. It won't.
Just don't keep on asking for the past.

Liverpool FC is in transition from glory, through failure and pain to credibility. It will take longer than a season.
Stick with it and support the new owners.
Forget the past - all that is good for now is to look back on and nod, smile and be thankful for those memories and history.
"We are an average club with a massive history."

Don't condemn us to be ever this because you can't get your own way and have a 'flavour of the week' manager with a fancy name and nothing to back it up with!

Lpool fans brace urself for a huge shock

* * * * * * * * * * *

Yes possibly a HUGH SHOCK as Rumours are starting to emerge from Anfield that Roy has been sacked and none other than Samuel "Sam" Allardyce aka 'Big Sam' has been approached to act as interim manager until the Summer.

* * * * * * * * * * *

Well if NESV appoint that wasp chewing Bulldog then there will be absolutely NO, and I mean NO hope for our beloved club! A relegation battle will be assured, and given some of our players "lack of fight", and inability to fight, then Championship football awaits.

Big Sam is certainly not the answer, we go on about Roy being to "pally" with opposition mangers, especially Old Blue Nose, well Big Sam virtually hangs out of Ferguson's bottom, only denied full access by the fact that Bruce, Pulis, and a number of high ranking FA officials are already so far up there that it has caused a road block.

So aside from the fact that he is on the one man Mafia's best friend list, his managerial abilities are far worse then Hodgson, he plays negative long ball rubbish with a penchant for thuggish "hardman" tactics, so far removed from Liverpool's footballing ethos it is not funny!

The "Chicken Kings" from India didn't think he was suitable for their club, so why should he be suitable for our club?

I would rather stick with Roy, then have that F*t slob ooze his way round the hallowed corridors of Anfield and Mellwood!

I think we all have to get a grip of reality people, unfortunatley Roy is going nowhere. There are no obvious candidates who could replace him who are of Liverpool quality. The owners are the ones who need to show more ambition and make some sort of statement regarding players , stadium etc, . We simply haven't moved forward in 2 years now and it's taking it's toll on us fans. The money involved in players and managers wages dictates who we keep and get rid of and it's simply no feesable for any quick firing or buying. Let's all start backing whoever is the manager and be patient enough to give someone at least a season. UP THE REDS YNWA. . C'MON LIVERPOOL PLAYERS , EARN YOUR RIDICULOUS WAGES. .! ! !

{editor: Guus Hiddink would be an amazing appointment but I can't see it happening. What about Roy Evans as manager and Thomma as assistant until summer? That way there is no huge expectation?}

The way Evans was talking on LFCTV last night I don't expect he would take the job. He said he also had concerns bout KK as both had been out of frontline management for over a decade.
Question, if NESV have a target and are waiting for the right man, how sure are they that they will get him?

As much as i like owen coyle as a manager (hes transformed a sub-standard bolton side into a side that looks to be challenging for european football next season) would he even consider coming to us? he left burnley, a club he had great success with(by their standards) to manage bolton, a club he played for and has great respect for. ed do you think he would leave a club he enjoys being at, to manage us? theres a lot of talk on here about him but imo its just wishful thinkingby a lot of disgruntled fans

totally agree with you ed, width is a must! I just think the press and possibly many fans (including myself) are obsessed with us replacing Alonso which is always going to be tough as he is a world class player and his form before he left for Real was outstanding in that role.

Lets get Roy out first and then we can (hopefully) spend a few pounds in Jan :)

The longer this is dragging on, the more i am beginning to dread that Roy might actually be at Old trafford on sunday as the manager of Liverpool football club. This is one of the easiest decisions that John Henry and Tom Werner will have to make as the owners and chairman of Liverpool and if they do not get rid of Roy, i just can't see us finishing in the top half, let alone the european positions.

Pity we got the new owners after Rafa left cos with the support they've extended to Roy we would be in a very nice position the way the league is panning out this season. I'm sick to death of the press with their 'not his team' backing of the muppet our club is in a state of emergency far worse than when these f* *heads were calling for Rafa's head but Roy 'needs time'. For what? To finish us once and for all as a top club? Fenway need to bite the bullet and do what's best for the club and not worry who they upset whether it be the english press, some of our deluded fans or the players (especially those overpaid heartless f* *s). Bring Rafa back now! He is the only person who can turn this around as he knows the club, setup and how to get the best out of these obviously limited players. And I'm not saying long term just til the end of the season to see if we can salvage some bit of respect then by all means get a new man in & do a total clear out.

I'm not even a huge fan of Rafa, man used to crack me up at the best of times but f* * me if number one ranked team in Europe, the team who never know when they're beaten etc. appeals to me again! A new manager doesn't have the time to turn this around so we need to go with what we know works some bit better, Rafa back and Kenny assistant please! ! !

Last week I posted a comment but it didn't get posted. So here we go again, I was in the crown n liver last week and got speaking to Terry Owen (mike Owens dad) and he said that carra is working twice as hard for his coaching badges because they r needed now.

That the crown in hawrden, ashy? had some good times there.Was a saltney lad mysellf before exciled here in the states.

Sounds probible to me, i know mike, my mate steve used to drive him to anfield when he was 16, used to go with them a lot, plus as you would know he was reguler in our corbets in vickie road lol, ahh good times.

Just wondered why we have not signed anyone as yet.surely you don't wait until january to start thinking of the players you want.
do you think this is the spurs situation all over again where the players did'nt want to play for there manager but as soon as harry was appointed they started playing good football and winning matches.

Hey ed do you rate atletico madris antonio lopez {ed's note - is that their left back and captain? If I am thinking of the right man then I rate him, I think he would be an excellent signing from what I have seen. Or maybe I am just comparing him with Konchesky and so he looks better than he is!}

Personally I would go for AM's manager Sanchez Florez. Young brilliant Manager at handling big name players and they play nice football (AM is my second team). Spanish manager would keep our rather large spanish contigent of players happy. Coyle or Sanchez Florez for me.

{editor: We don't have a rather large spanish contigent in our first team anymore. Only Torres and Riena. There are a few in the reserves and acadamy but I think we need someone with passion now}

Rumours getting stronger and more likely.

Bodgson is on his way and Martin O'Neill in charge with the remit to prove himself and apply at the end of the season for the permanent role. This way NESV don't burn their bridges, leave Kenny to carry on his ambassadorial role and Roy to move on.

Not sure when this will be announced. . anybody can guess a time. . . but hopefully today !

As much as i like owen coyle as a manager (hes transformed a sub-standard bolton side into a side that looks to be challenging for european football next season) would he even consider coming to us? he left burnley, a club he had great success with(by their standards) to manage bolton, a club he played for and has great respect for. ed do you think he would leave a club he enjoys being at, to manage us? theres a lot of talk on here about him but imo its just wishful thinkingby a lot of disgruntled fans

{editor: I think you are right but the lure of Liverpool may attract him. The job is seen as a poisoned chalice now though so I am not sure.}

Nesv will realise that action needs to be taken to stop the rot that surrounds Liverpool FC at the moment. They will also know the immense pressure building from the fans is putting them in a position where they can no longer ignore the clubs slide into obscurity. I believe they really did not want a temp manager to step in & believed Roy could do the job until the Summer. I don't think we can rule out the fact a temp manager may not be bought in & we may get Nesv's chosen manager which is why we are STILL waiting. How do we know what is going on behind the scenes, they could be negotiationg terms with a new manager/ putting together a compo package as we speak, we just don't know. I definately DO NOT think Kenny will be temp manager, this is not because I don't want him to be its just I do not believe Nesv want him in that position. There are two candidates that I would love to take over above all others and they are Didier Deschamps or Andres Villa Boas. I just hope Nesv truely realise this club is our world and they are holding all the cards. When there is this much hurt and anger there is too much riding on a wrong decision so they have to get it right and they have to get it right NOW!
Do you agree with any of the above ed?

I still think, assuming as we are, that the permanent manager NESV want for Liverpool will not be available until the summer, then as far as a caretaker goes, there are only two options. Kenny Dalglish or Rafa Benitez.

If there board are reluctant to appoint Kenny due to worries he'll be too popular and they'll struggle to get him out in the summer, then Rafa seems the ideal choice. He's available, he knows the club, he knows the players(he bought most of 'em) and it'd give him a chance to rebuild his rep so he can get another big job in the summer. As well as giving him a chance to prove some people wrong.

Imagine Rafa coming back on friday and beating united at old trafford in 1st game? Old whiskey breath would be livid : )

I feel sorry for the owners, its obvious that woy will be sacked and its just a question of when rather than if at dis stage. But the problem is finding a replacement, and this replacement has to be short term until the summer. Not many options really, especialy if kenny doesn't want it. It will all turn out good in the end, have faith everyone.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
RUBBISH! The answer is Kenny until the summer. Dont believe all those who say he will only do it if its a full time offer. He'd go bare knuckle fighting with a gorilla for our club!

He would be desperate to get in the duggout under any terms, to show he still has it. He's not long in the tooth either.

Owners and CEO's seem to be scared of him. Thinking they are digging themselves a massive hole by appointing him. Hogwash. Its all about the terms Kenny comes in under. If its strictly until the summer before a perminent appointment is made, everyone knows where they stand.

If he does well and merits the job on a longer contract, give it to him!

Its not rocket science. Imagine the lift for the game at Old Trafford?!?! Imagine KK putting one over on Red Nose?! Imagine the press conferences afterwards?! Awesome! !

I think roy has had it tough from the start, i mean he took a mediocre fulham to the 2nd best Europe cup final, so with anything higher than not getting relegated he was keeping his job at fulham.

but to come to liverpool and not make champions league, not even close with domestic cups, and are expected to be winning everytime they run onto the field. the look on the players faces is disinterested and negative. there is some major problems and they need to be addressed, bringing in a new coach half way through a season i am never a fan of, but we r just throwing money away with bad results, negative attendances, average player signings. .

i don't want to become a mid table club, but if it happens so be it, but at least we have given it the best chance. at the end of the day we all bleed RED blood and we r in this forever.tristanpool

After watching yesterday's game i pondered a little bit . . .

Our team lacks effort from the players . . so it seems they either want the manager gone (Which i assume)Or lacking the will to play for the club(Which i assume to be Torres)

Reina - Good. . i always see effort on his side
Johnson - Good going forward with some crosses but very poor on defending. .
Soto - He tries but fails. I like how that guy is but i think hes not good enough for liverpool . .
Sktrel - Nah.
Agger(sub) Lovely. . i liked how he played
Konchesky - Sorry not good enough. .
Lucas - Cant drag the game
Maxi - Didnt see him much
Gerrard- Well he did his best but i think he might be the problem of this whole liverpool team . He doesn't lack effort or something . but i think other players might dislike how he approiches things ?
Kuyt- poor , Sorry m8
Ngog - not good enough at the moment . . (maybe later)
Torres- Lacks willpower.
Joe cole - I Thought joe cole did great by the way . he tried to link up play . .

Hodgsons out . . time for a new coach Maybe Rijkaard for me . . We need a coach that uses youth and tries to use em. And We need a coach that is not scared to put the big players (Torres , Gerrard(aswell) , and some of the others on the bench or even out the squad. .

Sorry hodgson , you just don't cut it. . i think your a nice bloke but just not good enough for us

I wish fans would stop saying they are going to boycott matches. If you don't want to spend the cash that's fine, but don't pretend it's down to some higher principle.

I'm a life long red from Wales (Please, none of this 'I'm not from Liverpool' s* t. .Ian Rush was my childhood hero. .he was Welsh and therefore I followed Liverpool and have done through thick and thin ever since) and I know from following the Welsh National team how hard it is for both the attending fans and the team with low attendances and half empty stadiums.

Remeber You'll never walk alone. .best thing everyone can do is fill Anfield every game and make as much noise as possible. .if Hodgson keeps underachieving the Board will soon get rid because we deserve better, holding them to ransom is not the answer because once that begins where will it end?

NESV need to release enough is enough, Roy the gobbling Turkey has had time to turn things around and hasnt, the fact he has the worst record of any Liverpool manager for over 100 years says it all.

I supported you Roy and said give him time but 4 points away from the bottom of the table is a joke! we might not be the team of the 80's but we are starting to become a laughing stock just because you can't accept you don't have the know-how to manager a club like Liverpool.

one of main roles of a Manager is to motivate his team as lets be honest they are all overpaid princesses with the emotional intellegence of 3 month olds, and Roy saying we have no confidence all the time shows me he can't do the job!

We need the new manager step in asap, get rid of the pathetic players we have ie babel, poulsen, konchesky, skrtel. .we need him to push th promising young players through ie pacheco, suso and sterling. .sign about 4/ 5 proven class players 2 improve squad. .keep hold of torres, gerrard and reina. .put a bit of belief back in2 the team, motivate n encourage them 2 giv 100% and wel b back 2 r best in no time. .

we need players with a bit of flair, players who can do the unexpectd, take defences apart and just pull sumfin out of nufin. Just like nani did 4 manure, nasri 4 the arse. . Come on u reds!

GOD! !
Can we stop this living in the past rubbish! ! !
Someone posting we should get Aldo, Rushy, Thompson and so on in to be the backroom staff.
What crap is this?! ! !
MOVE ON!
Are you people stuck in this rut of only wanting history! ?
We need a proper manager with a strong backroom.Not just favoruites we think can inspire people.
Babel, Lucas, Torres, Agger - they probably don't look on Aldo or Thompson like we do and so it's just fanciful tosh!
AND STOP BANGING ON ABOUT THIS BOAS GUY.
This man has NEVER done anything to suggest he can manage in the PL.

I can't believe that hes not been sacked yet, seriously hes no good for us. Just my opinion i'm wondering if there waiting until after the man scum game to give him the sack because of how bad we're playing NESV don't want a new man starting with a big game and starting off on the wrong foot incase we lost. And i don't expect to see Kenny get the job cause if NESV give it to him and he can't turn us around how can they get rid of him then , they'd be in a no win situation, not that i don't want Kenny back i just can't see it happening. What do you think ED? Any news on whats happening.

Well luks like we are officially a mid table team. Elia wants to join europes elite rather than us, we are starting to be linked with players such as wayne routhledge and robert huth?! And it is all hodgsons fault. In the summer we were still capable of attracting good players (meireles) but now they don't want to know. Also seems that marveaux won't be signing till summer so now we are abk to square one. This season can't get any worse (so far). Hodgson has sucessfully pulled us down to his poor level.

Come off it ed. Maradonna! Normally I think you lads speak a lot of sense but he would be a walking disaster who would be gone in 6 months.
Owen Coyle is the man we want, to build for the future and to be honest we're gonna have to get rid of Commoli. My heart sank when we got him he's done nothing good wherever he's been and tried to get credit for things which weren't really down to him. Why do people think he ended up at St Etienne if he was as good as he makes himself out to be?

Kennys not the answer . . owen coyle is only choice

Let's face it the Players and fans have never given him a chance
our fans arn't what they use to be
we are now a generation of sky sports fans who don't understand the word fan

the players whoever in charge should be at least top 5

To many egos in the team

we have won nothing with mr ego torres

and if gerrard and Carra are running the show clearly not instiling any confidence in the other players

we need a team of 11 players that are proud to give 100% not a bunch of egos

and never mind soto at least he gives his best

Get Rafa back for the remainder of the season. .proven. .experience with the players and knows how to make us difficult to beat. .Just for info, 8 of the team that got beat by Wolves at home were in the starting line up vs Real Madrid (5-0) and Man U (4-1) under Rafa. A definite no to Kenny, Carragh, Thommo etc. .they have been out of the game too long.

The longer this drags, the more the feeling that he's going nowhere.

How many lives has Hodgson got?Infinite?Sure as hell seems that way.Just when it seems he's well and truly dead and buried beneath the earth, there he is, rising and rearing his ugly owl head.

Nowhere else outside of Melwood has such abject mediocrity met with such unyielding forbearance.

Lastly, I concur with Steve Parker.It's about time we accepted that we- for all practical purposes- are no longer that much of a big draw for top drawer players.Yes, we 're Liverpool, the most decorated English club.

But that counts for bugger at present.Great players want to challenge and win trophies. .something we're rather far off from doing, on a consistent and sustained basis.The likes of Barca, Madrid, Bayern, Chavs, Arsenal, Scum (boy I hate to say it) are what kids such as Hazard, Sanchez, Elia, Mata's dreams are made of.

We may be able to attract the above talent, but certainly not if they've those teams I mentioned as a choice.A situation like a Torres in 2007 I don't see happening, not in the near future.

Two years ago we would've attracted any player, but not now.We gonna have to build, build, build and build. .reestablish ourselves as a genuine competitive force again.It can be done.Patience's all that's needed.

So please, enough with the delusions of grandeur.Accept that we're nowhere near being an elite side anymore;a side of first choice for class acts.Just drop the "Manure overtaking us for number 19" obsession.Cause whether you, me or anyone else likes it or not, they're WELL-PLACED to win it.

Let's stop harping on about the 70s and 80s and actually focus on writing a new history with, and for, a new generation.
Let's be like a new born baby;start on a new, clean slate.Let's unite behind Tom and John and get this thing off the ground.
But this obsession with history and manure winning number 19 before we do is unhelpful.

Makes us to:believe we on par with them, deserve to winning, creates unreasonable expectations for the new owners in such a small timescale, and leads to unjustified impatience when things don't go well.

Just look at how many people are slating NESV for "not spending big" even if they (1)haven't said how much they going to spend, (2)haven't had proper scope to do so, and (3)don't necessarily have to.

Accept what we are (not so "elite") and appreciate that we trying to get back there (glory days) but it's gonna take time, collective effort and patience.

Salvador A Nunez Junior

ps:perhaps manure winning 19 before we do mightn't be a bad thing afterall. .might be the sobering reality check so many of our fans need about how actually regressed we have in the last 2 decades, and where really are.

I have always been a firm believer that a manager's charisma and personality must match that of their senior players, the guys that lead the team. So when it comes to training and matches, everyone understands each message coming from the guy picking the team and the one on the pitch. Recently its been a complete nightmare, there's been zero understanding and I for one would love a change.

But the reality is and I'm sure most other supporters would have realised by now is that making a change during this time could mess everything properly up.

What happens if Roy is sacked? We'll be stuck without a manager during the slim period we have to attract players. Even if we get a manager in, how much time will we have for him to assess the problems and work out who he will buy to try fix it.

I would love to see someone like Frank Rijkaard come in as he's had the experience of bringing top players through the best youth system in the world. This guy will not allow the young players like Pacheco, Wilson, Kelly etc to be wasted. He'll build a squad of strong experienced players to allow inexperience to play and progress.

And some of you will disagree with this but when someone like Ray Wilkins is a free agent. You have to snap him up. I've done coaching courses through the IFA and he's been a guest coach a few times along with coaches to the calibre of Don Howe. Personally speaking, he's full on, understands outfield play more than anyone and gets his goals fast when it comes to coaching. Look at Chelsea right now without him! It would be a fantastic partnership of two free agents who could possibly reinvent Liverpool FC

This all however won't happen unless managers have already been approached because Roy will not be sacked if there isn't someone to come in straight away. Who wants to move to a managerless club?

Fingers crossed that we get some good news soon guys

Rennes have confirmed that midfielder Sylvain Marveaux is set to leave the club.

The 24-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and, after holding talks to discuss his future, the French club are resigned to seeing him move on.

Marveaux has been suffering from a niggling groin problem for the last year and faces a lengthy lay-off during the second half of the season, even if he does not require surgery.

The Rennes youth product may therefore have played his last game for the club, with Liverpool reported to be among his many suitors.

Prospect

"We met Sylvain twice and I will meet him again, but I don't think he wants to stay at Rennes, " general manager Pierre Dréossi told the club's official website.

"He would have played only five or six more games for Rennes this term, that's all."

Marveaux has been with Rennes since 2001 and caught the eye with 10 goals from 35 Ligue 1 appearances last season.

The former France Under-21 international is an appealing prospect as he will be a free agent in the summer, and he was believed to be a guest of Liverpool at their recent home defeat by Wolves.

Does Broughton deserve a statue?

Sir Martin Broughton saved LFC by appointing a great manager and ensuring we were sold to the right group to deliver success.

Sir Martin delivered our utopia by having a deep understanding and affinity with the Liverpool fans and wider community. The multi millionaire peer knew what the Reds needed and understood only too well their principles history and tradition.

The Tory supporting business man worked tirelessly for the club and it supporters to deliver the right ownership and this he has done.

The multi millionaire CEO of BAT and BA helped run those money grabbing capitalist outta town he saw them for what they were cold hearted money obbssessed business men.

Only someone with the experise to destroy BA as a company only a Chelsea supporting tory supporting peer could get us were we are now and I believe formal recognition is due.

NESV can't just sack roy without seriously thinking about after that like who would take over, because we don't want to end up with sammy lee taking over part time.
They are going to need to speak to a number of people about wether they can and want to take over from roy, because there are not going to be many teams willing to let their manager leave now so NESV would have to py loads to get the ideal man or go for a part time one or go for one who is currently out of management such as Rangnick or Klinsmann ect.
Also we don't know how many people would actually be willing to take over such as Kenny.

I understand that NESV are being very carefully over their decisions and in way i approve of that type of ownership. Too often Hicks and Gillet where too vocal of sneaky about their doings and the media stories about these where harmful. For a lot of specualtion of other mangers being offered contracts etc [im thinking the Klinsmann affair behind rafa's back].

Although rumours of other managers have been whispered a percentage of that is more wishful thinking than actual proof, and as such it casts minds backk to how the older generation speak of the Liverpool way, and inspires confidence in the ownership the way hicks and gillet never achieved. From this we can assume transfers are conducted in the same manner, which means hopefully transfer targets are being discussed in confidence and scouted properly. This is also a positive for the ownership.

However, with news of team bust ups, and the obvious failings of Roys man management skills to fulfill his promise to make this team achieve better, and even do the unthinkable of making them more disjointed and disillusioned as they where previously, his tenure as manager must come to an end.

Just the good work NESV are doing in being discreet is now coming across to the fans as inaction nd inability to decide. Their reputation and the work they have done to reassure the fans is being undone by their indecision on the matter.

I am starting to wonder if NESV are definitley going to sack roy, or if the news stories about his possible sacking are being written due to the feeling of the fans and not the owners?

what do people think?

This is only a game and there are far more serious issues in this world to worry about.

Guys. .
im a spurs fan. .and i remember when we were bottom cos of ramos only 2 points out of 8 games till redknapp took over
i believe if hodgson hasnt inspired you team since the summer and your team are not so bad, then he can't with the best signinings! !
also in january redknapp spent 15m on defoe. 12 on palacios 3m on chimbonda 12 for keane and free for cudicini and we got to the final of the league cup.

so what im saying is. your owners don't seem to be doing anything, when NOW is the time to act! because a few top signings and new manager you could make a huge difference. .
im a spurs fan but always had a soft for liverpool. .and i must say its quite sad how nothing is happening.

Ed,

A nice question came to mind considering I have never seen a side managed by Kenny. . .

How was Kenny as a Manager? . . . . .How is he as a motiviator? . . . . .

His achievements walk infront of him where ever he goes but how is he as a manager? . . . Does he have an aura around him? . . .

How does player community look at him in general? {ed's note - players love him, he commands respect. I am not convinced he is the answer though, time to look forward in my opinion.}

I deliberately slept late this morning in full expectation that I'd start my day with the great news of Hodgson's dismissal. How is it possible that he still has a job? The owners must realise that, as they themselves represented a new broom when they swept into the boardroom, that they now must weild that broom before the dressing room crumbles.

I'm sorry but I am writing as a die-hard Liverpool fan hear guys, but as fans you are being very fickle, what did you expect over night success after Roy was appointed.
Roy Hodgson is doing what was expected of him. .Everybody knew these were going to be tough times and any man who took the job of steadying the ship at LFC was going to experience this!
And as much as I would love to see Kenny take back the hot seat at Anfield, I don't think its going to make much difference and if anything it would probably mar a lot of fans impression of The King if he were to be unsuccessful.

I know I am going to be slated for writing this but as far as I'm concerned Roy is not the wrong man for the job he is just at the club in a very difficult time!

- - - - -

I think you are correct. . . . . .

Roy Hodgson is doing fantastically well for us and he should continue his good work with us. . . We are only in the 12th position and not in the relegation places. . .

He took a side which finished 7th and now we are just 5 places off 7th even though (needless to mention) its a 20 club league. . .

We should never sack him and allow him the honour of leading us into Championship, a feat very few managers have achieved till date. . . . And I am sure that we will have two golden statues of Hodgson. . . . one at Anfield and the other infront of your home. . . .

Last night was very disappointing, but it was expected - we are incapable of winning away from Anfield. why I do not know but it is getting ridiculous now. Last night's line-up of: Reina, Johnson, Konchesky, Skrtel, Kyrgiakos, Lucas, Gerrard, Cole, Maxi, Ngog, and Torres with Subs: Gulacsi, Agger, Kelly, Kuyt, Poulsen, Babel, Jovanovic. Should have been able to beat a Blackburn side who were beaten 3-0 by Sunderland.
Reina - our best player, cannot be blamed for the debacle that is happening in front of him.
Johnson - does not look remotely worth £17m. He is defensively inept and fairly good going forward. He either needs to be moved on or experience a Gareth Bale epiphany-he is capable, its whether he has the drive to do it.
Konchesky - brought in as a solid performer - no frills. As yet I have not seen a solid performance from him.
Skrtel - if he was half as mean a defender as he looks, he would be one of the best in the league. Has suffered as dramatic downturn in form, he hasn't been the same player since Drogba destroyed him in the Champions League in 2009. He should not be our 1st choice centre-back.
Kyrgiakos - he enjoyed cult status after scoring a few goals, this masked his lack of ability. Benjani, not exactly the best striker around ran rings around him. He is slow, can't pass, and is poor defensively. Danny Wilson should have been given an opportunity by now considering our centre back problems. Soto should be sold.
Lucas - he has been our player of the season so far (says it all!), but he won't be winning any awards outside Anfield. Plays well against big teams as he has more fight than the likes Lampard, Mikel and Fabregas, against the "smaller" teams however he is outsmuscled, outfought and generally bullied.
Gerrard - captain fantastic! I can't really say much bad about him considering what he has done for the club. He can't win dig us out of every match, and the depths we have fallen too are just too far.
Cole - thoroughly disappointing this season, the "signing of the summer!" has shown why only we and Tottenham were after him, and why Chelsea let him go for free!
Maxi - another free transfer, he has improved from last season. He is an Argentinian used to playing with Messi, Higuain and the rest, then he has to play with Lucas here. He has the ability
Ngog - far too much has been expected of him from Roy, he is very inexperienced and has played more games than I'm sure he expected to this season. He has all the attributes to become a good player, but like Insua last season will soon burnout, and his performances will drop.
Torres - our World and Euro Cup winner, he is not going to be the same player as he was before his knee injuries. He looks uncomfortable in himself, so the searing pace and lightening movement won't ever be the same again. What is disappointing is that his finishing has been poor

and the situation we are in now is very real, look at sheffield wed nots forest leeds, going down does happen to big clubs, and the swedish fan was rite our history don't mean much to players from abroad, thats why we don't get them, 20 years is a long time and the way we going it might be another 20 or even maybe 40

I was listening to the football phone in after the game last night & couldn't believe that some fans are still playing the "Roy inherited a bad team" card. Here's my view:
Roy inherited a team far better than the one he had at Fulham. In-fact I would say Roy inherited the best team he has ever managed!
The only thing missing at the start of this season was confidence, you don't become a bad team in the space of 12 months especially when its almost the same team.
In an ideal world I wish the takeover could have happened a year earlier, that way Rafa would still be at LFC & we would still be a top four team!

Personally, I don't mind if hodgson stays till the summer at least, don't slate me for it, because here's why. . Give him a chance to change the squad, now Lfc can afford it, he can get some decent new players, along as he buys wisely ( Honda, marveaux, other wingers or strikers and defenders) 3 positive signings would be great, none of these mediocre players because that just annoys us fans, Huth or dempsey are not lfc players in my eyes.

In my opinion, leave hodgson till summer, and swap Sally for kenny, kenny can help hodgson because I think together there can be some quite intelligent football, And attacking!

Players we could sign that can make a difference

Arda Turan? (kennys choice)
Young?
Cissoko?
Honda?
Shawcross? (might be a doubt coz of uniteds 1st refusal thing)
Adebayor?

I know some may disagree, only ideas

What is Comolli's job? Surely Borrell and Segura would be more than capable of scouting young players after all that's what they've been doing since they came from Barca where they did a bloody good job.
Or maybe its to generally oversee football matters? Well if he can't see that the sheet has hit the fan then maybe he needs to take a walk as well as a blind man could tell that we're in serious trouble. He was quick enough to help remove Jol for spurs and he wasn't doing as badly as Roy. Its also really difficult to find quotes praising Comolli from his previous employers or from football people in general which raises my pessimism about him further. I need a statement from NESV clarifying what is being done about our current situation or i feel my paranoia will spread to them as i find their current silence worrying to say the least.

Big mistake sacking rafa in the first place. . we would be the laughing stock of the epl if we were to reinstate him.

I just fail to see how and why we sacked him after one poor season, hell 7th doesn't sound that bad now does it? But if rafa never left we would still have masch as he loved rafa.

Rafa understood liverpool and how to play to torres and gerrards strengths, its no coincidence last season they both had injuries thus our poor form, but now roy can't find the right formula for torres especially. {ed's note - actually Mash had spent last season trying to engineer a move away, how you figure he would still be here if Rafa had stayed I have no idea!}

the big question is in my eyes. why would roy take a job knowing there are new owners coming in ?. If you sit and think hes only really spent money on 3 plays sold one and bought a built up the youth team . the rest of rafa team are on loan out are they not . i really would not surprise me if hes not back after the man u match and before the transfer window shuts . roy stepped down to youth team

After the debacle that has been Liverpools season so far, I am glad to see that NESV and Comolli are trying to ratify the situation by lining up top transfer such as, Wait for it, Robert Huth and the mighty Wayne Routledge.

Whilst it is highly unlikely that we are even contemplating Routledge, it is a MASSIVE concern that this is the type of sub standard player we are looking to recruit.

BTW we already have numerous players in our squad who aren't getting a look in that streets ahead of the two players previously mentioned. Our 'established stars' aren't doing the business so give our youngsters a go, how much worse can Kelly, Wilson, Pacheco, or Suso do?

Problem here is that we are harking back to the past again.
This is 2011 and we should be moving on.
History is the past!
Links to Shankly and Paisley will do nothing for us!
That is just history in terms of memory.
It hinders us really: drags us into thinking what we did then will work now.
OK!
If Dalglish wants it so much, let him have it.
Why would it work?
What will you say when he loses five games on the run and we need to verbally bash someone?
OK.
If that's what KK wants, then so be it.
He is the right age and has experience, but I want to move on.
I am proud of 5 European title, but as the Mancs say, "that's history!"
They are dead right!
History is a second ago or a lifetime ago.
Strikes me that we are always - as Jethro Tull beautifully put it - "Living in the Past"

Guys stop calling for Rafa this won't happen as he wants too much power a demand that would be laughed at by NESV. There would then be a complete power struggle, the owners woud be at each others troaths, We would have no money givin to the manager to spend and we would slip into decline. Sounds like that's happened somewhere berfore. Hmmm wonder where.

Rafa is not the answer i for one was delighted to see the back of him. All he done was won a majior trophy with another mans team. Likeable guy though.

Would have liked to have seen at least one winger signed by now. Surely if we had players lined up for purchase, all the negotiations would have already taken place before the window opened so that said players could be announced as soon as the window opened, and let him settle into the squad/ team asap.

Roy is a dead man walking, that is surely unquestioned now. Our other large problem is that our squad is majority full of sub standard players.
Konchesky, Skrtel, Kyrgiakos, Lucas, Kuyt, Maxi, Ngog, Poulsen, Jovanovich, are simply not good enough even to be squad players let alone first team regulars (if we seriously want to challenge for honours). Some transfer targets need to be landed before the window shuts to stop us getting into a relegation battle at the end of the season, because we have played all of our 'easier' games and after the next three games the fixtures get significantly harder.
My F.A. cup side would be:

. . . . . . . . . . . . .Reina. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

. .Jonhson. . . . Kelly . . Agger. . . . .Wilson.

. . . . . . .Gerrard. . Meireles. .Cole. . . . . . .

Roy's not going anywhere for now boys. At one stage during the game it looked like he was nearly crying, actually it was around the time stevie missed the pen. I felt sorry for the old bloke. If the pen went in we would have had about 10min to salvage a draw. Anyway not to be. I think if NESV were going to do something they would have done it by now. I know how americans work and they won't do anything until all of the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed. There not silly men but time is nearly up for old Roy I'm afraid.

Personally I am dismayed at the catastrophic appointment of Woy of the Wovers, the sooner he gets sacked the better, I think that at last even the most stalwart LFC fan agrees with that now.

But just for a little bit of focus we can't blame the current owners, the appointment was basically an appeasing position to potential suitors in the last phases of the H&G era that we're all glad to see the back of frankly. So the appointment of Woy was financially feasible that's all it was inherited by NESV. . little they could do.

Let's face the truth between Benitez, H&G and to a great extent Parry that lots b*tt f* *ed us all. Please, don't bring that pr*ck Benitez back, he can barely count never mind playing PR mind games with the likes of Wenger and Rudolph and his players might as well have been marbles for the interest he took in them!

I'd like to suggest another name that hasn't really been mentioned, but I wanted to lead LFC this time last year, and before frankly! Mark Hughes is a manager that was shafted by City, after he took Blackburn into a positive position while in the early years of EPL management. Sure I know that his current team are hardly high flying, but consider his resources, virtually the same as Woy last year, who's doing better?

Hughes is a young progressive manager with a professional respect as a player unrivalled by any other prospect mentioned; he would be comparatively affordable on a 3 year contract; I can see him sticking in the EPL for a very very long time, isn't that what we need? A steady ship with the financial engine behind him to evolve the team back into the competitive power we were?

We now need to climb out of that hole we are in based on some strategic signings that open key markets and investment in players that grow to shine without the Tevez size salary demands. These are essential to retaining (Riera, Gerrard, Torres, Meireles) and motivating them to play for the shirt and attract other starts. Spurs are beginning to draw in bigger names, and bigger costs too, that bubble could well pop so isn't a long term deliverable strategy in such a massively competitive league.

Overseas managers without real, extensive EPL experience get dropped into deep water, look at Chelsea's experience and picking out high quality internationally renowned managers, not the best to say the least. . Stick with someone you feel you could trust, I'm on board for Hughes, sorry Fulham best option for us and he would jump at it. . never mind rubbing Manure and Sh*tty's noses right in it.

Long term manager, long term success!
LFC Man of Reason {ed's note - Hughes? Are you mad? He did ok with a Wales side with no ambition. He did ok at Blackburn, again no ambition or expectations. He went to City, they had ambition and he failed miserably. He is now at Fulham with a tiny bit of ambition following last year and is failing miserably. What part of his record suggests he is good enough? He would be worse than Roy.}

Thats why one of NESV(Tom) is a massive LFC fan!
So he can see us relegated! NOT.

We are all just feeling down after another bad game! I am very positive that better things are around the corner and NESV will do the right thing in appointing a top manager and all this will go down as just a very bad time in LFC history.

I would be more worried if i was a Manc, , Chelski fan!
As they are all living in debt and their day will come. Look how Chelski have fallen, and no signs of buying players in Jan either? As for the Mancs enjoy it while it lasts, this will be your last season of dominance.

Steve,

Bloody hell you have put the cat amongst the pigeons there mate!

Alan Curbishley - isn't he very similar to Hodgeson in the way that he has managed the likes of Charlton and Fulham to respectable finishes with lower standards of players?

O'Neill seems to want a lot of money and im not sure he would want to come for the short term?

Venebles - is an interesting one for me, for the short term. I think he understands players and what goes on a bit and could be useful.

George Graham has been out of work for a long time it has to be said and his health is not the best, i seem to remember hearing him being in hospital and being on talksport when the Barcelona v Arsenal draw was made for the Champions League.

To be honest i wouldn't mind Rijkaard at all but it doesn't look likely.

Anyone who gets the team playing positively and for each other gets my full support.

Didn't Roy have a clause in his contract which stated that he would be paid no compensation if new owners came in and decided he wasn't the man. This therefore means that NESV just need to decide he isn't the man and then bye bye Roy. Besides, it's still very early in America, so no decision will be made until later on, noon-ish American time.

* *

I think that the clause was for 3 months after the date the takeover happened. so the 3 months has been & gone.

I hope & pray they do decide he isn't the right man tho. a few £m to get rid of the clown will be the best money spent all transfer window!

Am I the only person thinking LFC are being duped by more moneymaking Yanks again. They seem to be totally inept at making any decisions whatsoever. The club is in turmoil. This would not be tolerated at another top club anywhere in the world. Martin Broughton must be laughing his Chelsea backside off. Something has to be done quickly before we are relegated to obscurity.

I can't believe that Roy doesn't understand that the defence has leaked so many goals because of his negative tactics. .the side is too deep, and rigidly narrow, inviting pressure and teams to get around the back of us.

I'm sorry but I am writing as a die-hard Liverpool fan hear guys, but as fans you are being very fickle, what did you expect over night success after Roy was appointed.
Roy Hodgson is doing what was expected of him. .Everybody knew these were going to be tough times and any man who took the job of steadying the ship at LFC was going to experience this!
And as much as I would love to see Kenny take back the hot seat at Anfield, I don't think its going to make much difference and if anything it would probably mar a lot of fans impression of The King if he were to be unsuccessful.

I know I am going to be slated for writing this but as far as I'm concerned Roy is not the wrong man for the job he is just at the club in a very difficult time!

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD (robbie that is!). . .

Sack him now and bring Kenny in until the end of the season!

Imagine the reaction of the fans and players if this happened, and we went to Old Trafford on the weekend and won in his first game?! Would be like old times, putting one over Red Nose! !

That would be a season changing event and we would have our pride back!

We could then appoint a full time manager in the summer with the pressure off and more options available, and Kenny will have not harmed his legacy. If Kenny wants to apply in the Summer, let him.

ITS THE ONLY OPTION NOW. MAKE THE DECISION ALL FANS WANT YOU TO MAKE NESV - TODAY! !

I think the Board need to come out now and say something 1 way or the other, because every bad result is causing more and more anger with the fans.

Either:

a) Come out and say, we are sticking with Roy and will review at end of season - we feel a change now would only make matters worse considering our league position and it might be a suicidal act to remove the manager mid-season. So everyone get behind the team and manager.

Or

b) Results have not been good enough we feel someone new is needed to re-energise the dressing room and play a different more attacking brand of football.

Fans need to know whether to stick or twist!

=========================

Looks like Monday's ESPN story was wrong; even though ESPN is a big site, they only report what they're sources tell them, and obviously they can be wrong too. Also proves everything is a rumour until pen is put to paper and a player is introduced, something repeatedly stated on this site that some people still don't understand based on the comments by some to the eds and fellow posters on Monday.

Not a rumour but some reflections from a swedish supporter. .

Will probably get a price on my head for stating this but here we go:
We have to put history aside, we have to put all former players and legends aside, we have to put scouse pride aside and realise that a modern club that wants win trophys 2011 have to be run in a different way. The game of football has changed. It's all about money today. History counts for nothing to a non-english 20 year old superstar. We have new owners with money and knowledge of how to run a successfull business, that's a good start but we need new faces all the way down to the team. We've had Souness, Evans, Thompson and Sammy involved in managing the team. All of them are legends and love the club. For me that says it all. .that does not give us success. We need new faces with new ideas. We have a great history to be proud of but it should not have anything to do with the way we run the club/ team today if we want success.

My uncle met Roy after the Chelsea game and Roy told him that if we could win most home games and get a draw away from home he would be moore then happy. Says it all. We need a manager that wants to play football and tries to win every game. And we need someone that can make the players understand that a win is a win and all wins gives u 3 points wether it manure away or wolves at home. Look at all european top clubs. They play to win, home and away. If you score moore goals then you let in then u win. Simple.

We have about five/ six players at the club today that is good enough for LFC: Reina, Agger(when fit), Glen, Gerrard, Meireles and Torres. (All of them are replaceable though.) The rest is moore or less cr@p. On a good day they are good but the rest of the days they're cr@p. Some of them good as backup. Replace with quality and use youngsters as back up. Simple.

My team:
Reina * Glen-Cahill-Agger-Bastos * Hazard-Meireles-Banega/ Mvila-Gerrard-Mata * Torres Backups: Kelly-Carra-Wilson-Maxi-Cole-Llorente-Pacheco-Amoo and youngsters. .

"Steve Parker,

I read your rather large post mate and a lot of it made sense to me.

I don't understand why you said poor Hodgeson though? The man gets paid handsomly for this job if nothing else, yes he is under pressure, but it is a pressure that comes with the job, he can step down with dignity at any point he wants to. I would respect him more if he did that to be honest.

With regard to the owners im sure its nothing they havent seen before with regard to fans, its part and parcel of the game.

I can understand your Dalglish points. . .but what would you like to see happen?

Spriggo"

I say 'poor' Hodgson, not in monetary terms, but purely that it is sad to see a person looking so low. Nobody has a right to make anyone's life miserable. It's purely from a human standpoint. I suspect he doesn't want to resign as it would puncture his dignity and standing. I can understand that.

What would I like to see?
I would like to see Roy Hodgson leave and then ask Martin O'Neill, Alan Curbishley, George Graham or Terry Venables to come in till the end of the season and steady the ship.

Don't look so aghast!
All mentioned are without managerial roles: all have extensive experience and I suspect all would understand the short-term natuire of the role. It would be similar to that carried out at Chelsea by Guus Hiddink - and that worked.

Curbishley has been waiting for the Real Madrid job, to be God's waiter, Jensen Button's mechanic or Jermey Paxman's replacement on Newsnight for more than two years! This is a chance to really work Alan.
Venables and Graham could still a troubled dressing-room I beleive and Martin O'Neill is too good to be out of a job at this level. It depends on their expectations and the brief.

Sammy Lee would not be a choice, not Phil Thompson, nor Rafa!
As for the long-term . . . Boas and Ragnick are just great names to throw about. Klopp - said it all before. Mourinho - no and others, not a chance.

Ian Holloway and Owen Coyle - just can't beleive those rumours.

I always rail against saying this manager is the one for us, or I have it on good authority, but if I had three choices it would stack up this way:

Frank Rijkaard - proven, good contacts and tactician.
Louis van Gaal - unsteady at Bayern and a supreme coach.
Steve McLaren - out of the door in May from Wolfsburg. Can coach and showed at FC Twente that he can mould a team.

. . . and I said I would never write a wishlist!

You stupib rabble!
You angry torch bearing mob!

Think before you spout your rubbish. For the first time in 20 years we actually have a good tactical english manager. Roy needs a couple of things from the fans SUPPORT and TIME! Roy has inherited a mess and is steadying the ship. Roy said judge me after 10 games and after 10 we were in good shape.

If we fans are not carefull we will lose Roy and then we will be in real trouble. We as fans should back Roy as he tries to put Carra and Gerrard back in their box and we should drive Agger Torres and Riena to the airport all they do is moan about the gaffer.

We also need to let Roy mould LFC into his team. Roys signings need to be allowed extended runs in the team and not face unfair criticism EG POULSEN.

And remember we would have a second striker if it werent for H&G holding up the Carlton Cole deal we were a wisker away from a coup.

So remember ROY IS THE GAFFER the OWNERS KNOW IT AND WONT SACK HIM.

Blame the real culprits the players! I hope they all go this JAN and we keep Hodgson.

YOU DONT BECOME A BAD MANAGER OVERNITE
SO MUCH FOR THE FAMOUS KOP SUPPORT

IN ROY WE TRUST

{editor: I disagree with your post so much, you are entitled to your own opinion but now I will share mine. You state that Roy hodgson is a great tactical manager, tell me how? He uses bog standard 4-4-2, 2 banks of 4, stays deep and hoofs the ball up to the front men. You wan't to drive 3 of the best players at the club to the airport, I am sure that that would help alot. If we let Roy mould LFC into his team we will have a Fulham XI and would never finish higher than 10th. You state that Poulson has come in for unfair critisism, have you seen him play! You want all the players to go and keep Roy Hodgson. By the way, I know you don't become a bad manager over night, its taken him 35 years to be this bad! Sorry for my rant but I had to get that off my chest}

* * *

Good god man, you have clearly gone insane!

after 10 games, we were in good shape?? that was one of the worst starts the club has endured.
Carra & gerrard are the 2 with passion that care about where Roy is taking us, clearly down the pan. And the other 3 you mention are our best players & capable of doing something and changing a game. they are merely following instructions from there Manager. Its a shame the Manager has no idea what he is doing though.

Unfair criticism of Poulsen? he is one of the worst players ever at the club! Konchesky is also up there with him!

and as for Carlton Cole - not buying that sack of s* t is the best thing H&G ever did.

i am not convinced you arent on a wind up with your post or whether you have escaped from an Asylum! !

Great site by the way.
I do not believe Roy Hodgson will be sacked quite yet, and I for one hope he doesn't get the boot quite yet. We definitely need new players, and for this to happen we can't possible get a new manager in the middle of the transfer window and expect straight signings. Elia will not come to Liverpool, perhaps if we were better postioned in the league perhaps top 6, this would be different. I would love to see Honda and Suarez join, but Suarez is a world class striker, who would want to play under a manager that does not destroy players. I mean our players all together are worth 50 times more than a blackpool or blackburn side, and yet we still lose. I'm sick and tired of getting s* t from Manu and Arsenal fans. :/ We need a big change, new tactics, new line up, possibly give the young lads who actually want to impress like Wilson, Kelly and Shelvey a chance and a new attitude towards the game. I still don't understand NESV, I mean, when they bought the club, they promised a transfer warchest of 40 million, then a month later reports said 35 million, then 30 million, then 28 million and now we need to sell players first? The only players I feel are actually making some difference to the team would be Gerrard, Meireles, Lucas at times and Reina. Torres is in my opinion the best striker in the world, but his performances lately have been equivelant to thos of Ngog, if not worse.

I was listening to the football phone in after the game last night & couldn't believe that some fans are still playing the "Roy inherited a bad team" card. Here's my view:
Roy inherited a team far better than the one he had at Fulham. In-fact I would say Roy inherited the best team he has ever managed!
The only thing missing at the start of this season was confidence, you don't become a bad team in the space of 12 months especially when its almost the same team.
In an ideal world I wish the takeover could have happened a year earlier, that way Rafa would still be at LFC & we would still be a top four team!

Please whoever is in charge next, do not sign Elia. He is just Ryan babel Mark II. Headless chicken to say the least.

You can't say that. Why would he be exactly the same as Babel? Because he's black, dutch, fast & plays as a winger/ striker? That's a ridiculous comparison to make and you've already judged him before he comes through the gates of Anfield.

By that method of thinking then you should also make a blind comparison that N'Gog is Henry Mark II because he's tall, French, runs a bit & plays as a striker, no?

Even Dougal in Father Ted wouldn't make that stupid comment because he can tell the difference between Jaws & Jaws 2. .BECAUSE IT'S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SHARK!

Don't know where the press conference rumour came from, Owners still in the USA (where at 10am GMT it is 5am in Boston), We have no Chairman so who was going to take the press conference? Roy himself? The owners say that their actions speak louder than words but im hearing nothing? Deadly silent. They are acting too slow. When we get ripped to shreds by a 2nd string team on Sunday then suffer the same fate at Bloomfield Road next week where we will be out of both domestic cups at the 1st hurdle and dangerousely close to the drop zone what will they do then? Things need to happen right now.

Hi all, although i want Hodgson out i do not agree with the graffiti writing at Melwood or the chanting for KK, lets let the board know how we feel. Yes, their is a lot of deadwood in the team but we have World Cup winners and international players.
A move for Rafa to come back would be disasterous, we need exciting football, i would'nt have minded losing to Blackburn if we got stuck in so lets get a manager who plays good football!

Love the site

Time to think logically gentleman! When woy goes ( god i hope he goes today ) who will replace him? if kenny does then good, but and there's always a but how long will it be for? will it be till the end of the season or just till they get the manager that they want, wich could be a week, a month, six months, a year. My question is with all this transfer hope and speculation, is how much money will he be allowed to spend on player's that from what he's seen will hpoefully change the fortunes of the club, if he's only going to be there for a few month's and will the manager that's coming in want those same player's that he bought. on a lighter note watching ssn just for the ashes gent's and it says Roy hodgson refuses to talk about his lfc future why put that up when we all know that he has no future!

I do think he did miss his penalty on purpose because he doesn't want hodgeson in charge as most of our squad just my opinion.

I, like many did not think that Mr Hodgson was good enough for the job but hoped for the best and hoped he would prove us wrong. At least I thought he would 'steady the ship'
He has been found to be woefully poor and not anywhere close to being good enough to manage a club the size and support as Liverpool Football Club. His reign which HAS to end ASAP has not 'steadied the ship' but rocked it to the point of instability and sinking.
His close friendship with anti Liverpool factions (i.e. Fergueson, Allaydace, Bruce, Sky reporters and many London based media) makes me very suspicious as his 'friends' do not have OUR great clubs best interest at heart
He MUST go and Mr Lee must go with him. I agree with many that we seem to have gone downhill ever since Paco left and Lee took over his position.
I think Kenny Daglish is the greatest Liverpool player I have ever seen and I fear in some ways him taking over and losing his King status under the present circumstances, but we may not have other options.
This is the darkest hour BEFORE the bright new dawn. We ARE the greatest football club and all our opponents know that. Keep the faith and lets support the new era.

"The Madness of King Roy XII"
Trouble with crisis management is that you spend so much time planning for a crisis, that managing it and the media fallout can present even more problems. So it will happen with the sacking of Roy Hodgson.

The poor man (and said with a true belief that he is a reasonable man overwhelmed and cast adrift) looked older, haggard, mentally frayed and a rather sad figure. No manager should really be seen that way. He has tried and failed. A fair effort and a realisation that he cannot bring all the strands of the issues together for a solution.

The greater issue is the succession: please stop thinking in terms of Kenny Dalglish. NESV has made few noises to suggest that he could even fill in for a period. I return to my original words in TMOKR VIII where I pointed out that damaging a reputation with an unnecessary return was not what Dalglish should have to put up with. I appreciate he may want to have a second crack at manging LFC, but if it blows up in his face we further erode another legend. We have already damaged our club legacy with the failure to win the league for the past 20 years. It suits the diehards and fanatics to scream his name and plead for his return, but the reality is that few managers have ever achieved success returning. And . . if he fails, he won't be the one to apologise, but you could be the one to look on him in a slightly less favourable light.

Aside from Hillsborough and Heysel, there have been precious few moments in the past 30 years that have seen us so low. Although all pales when compared to those incidents, in terms of a club and its fans, its image, style and place in football history, Liverpool is nearly on its reputational knees. Last night's defeat to Blackburn was more than a football game lost, three points dropped and miserable drive home. It marked the lowest point in the club's past two years as it marked the nadir in the fans' patience.

Here lies the rub: NESV has been markedly quiet recently and despite posters complaining they don't seem to be doing anything, I suspect they are watching and talking behind closed doors. The idea that John Henry and Tom Werner spend millions and then sit back is nonsense. They are American businessman, used to a different business culture, but one still steeped in success and financial gain. I remember Ron Noades once saying to me in the boardroom following a heavy Crystal Palace defeat, "Never make any decisions until 24 hours have passed and you can sit down with a cup of tea and mentally sift through the issues." Sage words. Maybe this is what NESV are doing over a longer period.

This is a great site and I post regularly on here. I have things to say and like reading most of the postings. What I don't like is reading the endless wishlists dreamt up by 12 year olds; the nasty vitriol poured on the manager as though he was some thick yob in the pub who deliberately spilled your drink and the endless jabbering and yabbering about the past.

I bore myself saying it: "An average club with a massive history." It will not be - and is not at present - easy to digest that. But the truth is, it is the truth. Calls for Jurgen Klopp to join us as manager from Borussia Dortmund is like asking Lewis Hamilton to leave McLaren and drive for London Transport! Don't start shouting at me and screaming I'm talking nonsense. We have been kicked back by players recently who don't think we are heading anywhere into Europe, not with a chance of winning the league, without millions to invest and with a manager that is heading for the door. This is the reality my fellow fans!

Our road back to the 'good old days' is a very long one. A VERY long one. We will not finish in the top eight this season. Yes, tell me I'm wrong, but if we fail to beat Wolves, Blackburn and still claim these are not as good as us, then we are all delusional.

To finish, please none of those responsive postings that tell me to be 'a real fan' or 'get behind the team no matter what!' That is just tub-thumping nonsense. I have supported LFC for more than 40 years and I have seen the good and bad times. I am still here supporting. What I am now doing is making what I see are relevant points.

You can wag your finger at me in the pub and tell me I am not a 'real fan' because I don't go to the game with the boys, or drink lager by the bucketful; you can slag me off for being a loner and going to 48 games home and away last season on my own. But don't tell me and the rest of the fanbase that we don't live and breathe red, that we don't know the game, don't understand the passion or know what we want.

I want Liverpool FC to grow again.
I want my fellow Reds to understand where we really are.
I want NESV to do what they said they would - and I believe they will.
I want Dalgish to remain in the stands and a legend . . and I want a new manager to be appointed and be free of trying to live up to a past that really is the past!
Once those shackles are removed, then we can start our long road back to the top four.

If there was even a shred of truth in those opinions, do you honestly think that is in any way acceptable? That our club should be held to ransom by a group of players who arent happy with their lot? I sincerely hope that isn't the case, no matter how bad it gets you cannot endorse a mutiny.

I too believe Owen Coyle would be a perfect choice for the side, I was at a Sports Dinner at Burnley when they announced his signing and they brought him in to speak to the fans and the man lives for football. Having been too many Burnley games (living in that area and wifes family all support them) he has the respect of all his players, he is extremely passionate and most of all trys to play a passing and positive style of football.

There are many others out there that people mention such as Deschamps, Hiddink, Rijkaard and so on but if FSG want a young manager with a vision for the future and a passion for the game then Coyle is the man. People will say his win rate is not as good as Hodgson but he has done an exceptional job with the players at his disposal during his spells at Burnley and Bolton.

The Red Baron

We can't talk about top 4 at all this season. We need a rebuild. Kenny Dalglish can do that job. He done it before. Also if you remember not only did he win the double in 1986, we should have done it twice more in the next three years. If Kenny does get the job, you people saying he's gotta get us into the top 4 this season are gonna be dissapointed when he doesn't and then hound him out of his job.

1) If Gerrard deliberately missed that penalty he should NEVER play for Liverpool again.
2) He has officially missed SEVEN penalties for Liverpool although I believe he has actually scored a couple more on the rebound.
3) WHY OH WHY IS HODGSON STILL THERE? It's all very well saying that there is going to be a Press Conference tomorrow but he should have been sacked immediately after the match.
4) I thought that Hodgson was a Man of Honour but if he was he wouldn't need to be sacked - he would have resigned.

Are you really a Liverpool supporter? Do you show this lack of respect for people in your ordinary day to day life?

To the guy who wants Joe Cole sold. I felt he was one of the few players who played with passion yesterday. A number of attempts at goal, a lovely chip to Torres (normally he'd have scored) and sharp in the tackle. Compared to Maxi who hardly broke sweat, Joe Cole was excellent. We really need to get behind the players who show they care, build their confidence, here's a thought, support them.

After last nights carp performance we all know its time for Roy to go. He's lost the fans with his stupid comments and negative tactics and players don't seem to want to know. So do you agree with bringing Kenny back in the short term? I personally think Sammy Lee needs to go as well as we needs some fresh ideas. So how about giving Ray Wilkins a short term deal? (Yes I know he's played for Man U and Chelsea before but we need to forget his playing history). That way you've got the Anfield spirit and desire with Kenny and a coach who has worked with modern day players. Any thoughts?


RedDan

{Editor Note: I agree that Roy needs to go. Kenny seems to be one of few candidates for the temporary position but putting him there leaves so many possible complications and negatives but we probably won't get our ideal manager until the Summer though so it might be the only route to go down. In all honesty, I don't really like Wilkins and I don't think he'd come here anyway.}

mistakes made by some fellow reds who are actually wolves
in sheeps skin.
Starting with C.Purslow. His relation with the previous manager
was not good at all. He sacked Rafa after only 1 poor season,
appointed Roy despite the fans craving for Kenny. The latter
himself pleaded for the position but was ignored.
Secondly is Sammy Lee. I agree he was a great player but he has never been a good coach. His arrival bought doom after a great season where we finished runners up.
Thirdly the ex owners never fulfilled their promise and are majorly to be blamed for the declined of our team. Honestly I doubt NESV too until they really fulfill what they promised.
We need players like Mata, Arda Turan, Coentrao, Suarez and Aguero. All are young, less than 25 and can play a big part for almost 6/ 7 years. The likes of Konchesky, Poulsen, Babel, Kuyt, Ngog and Jovanovic should all be offloaded. Kuyt and Babel are good players but not consistent and suitable for the EPl.

{Editor Note: Give NESV a chance - what's it been under three months? I don't recall them promising anything either. Did they promise a figure in terms of transfer money? Did they promise a date for the stadium decision or when it was to be built? They said themselves that they wanted their actions to speak for them. So lets give them a chance to do so instead of just writing them off after less than three months because of the grievances on the field - which have been caused by previous owners and the manager. They're here to fix the problem, but it's not something that can be fixed overnight or in one transfer window.}

If Roy were to be sacked, it's highly possible Deschamps will replace him. Mostly because Comolli factor being French. I'm not saying I like the thought but a high possibility? What do you think Ed? If it is Deschamps would he be right for the club?

{Editor Note: Apparantly Deschamps was offered the job in the Summer. I would take a guess and say that if Roy goes he'll be considered but I can't see him moving mid-season so maybe at the end of the season. No doubt he's done a good job at Marseille but I don't know that much about his management style. My top candidates would be Owen Coyle and Quique Sanchez Flores.}

Hogson will not be sacked, but judging the reaction of the players from last nights game, if RH does not leave most of our players will. .
I can almost bet my life on it and say that Stevie missed the penalty on purpose, Torres was running around the pitch like a lost child.
As a LFC supporter i can only say that the new owners will keep the team the same until the confidence is back, changes will happen but only in the summer.
Don't expect signings but everyone will expect a miracle. .

Relax mate January will be a good month for Liverpool FC, We WILL add to our team, We WILL put Roy down (lol), We will build up into the BASTION Bill Shankly once made us and take our place as the bench mark for all teams to reach, And be the GREATEST team on earth once more, Time is all it needs, Be patient.

When Roy gets sacked, Rather than bring Kenny in as interim (owners wouldn't like to drop him when replacement is found), How about give Paco Ayestaran the job till end of season, If he does well you've got the bright young manager with new ideas and the respect of the players that NESV are looking for if he wasnt happy being number 1, then he could drop to number 2 when summer arrives, Ed is that a better idea do you think, or is it quite poor, Cheers

UCCM

{Editor Note: I've always maintained that everyone is entitled to their opinion on here so no need to ask if its poor mate. It is fair to say that there aren't that many options available at this moment in time, and I have always said that removing Kenny would be a hard thing to do especially if he did well, but other than Kenny there is really no-one else - maybe Roy Evans? But I personally think Pako makes a great number two, nothing more.}

I said last Sunday for the first time that Roy has to go. I didn't like it coz that's not our way but " Roy get the f* * out now". This is nearly as embarrasing as the shenanigans of the previous owners. No clue at all. In fighting allegedly, and absolutely no confidence.

Hard to believe that there are certain sections of the media still insisting that Roy 'needs to be given time'.
That he inherited a poor squad with all the problems that came with it. Blah, blah, blah.

So, yeah, OK. We'll stick with Roy. He's a 'nice guy'. Let's stand by our traditions. .
What better way of keeping us on our knees, eh?

Damn. Our rival clubs and most of the mainstream sports media would love it.
Can't the fans see through it all? There's been an anti-Liverpool agenda going on for years.

The Ferguson-loving media always knew that Rafa was a real world-class manager working on a budget and hamstrung by H & G and needed only the slightest excuse (one poor season, 7th) to whip up a frenzy of anti-Rafa bile (Rafa must go, etc) and a large percentage of fans were taken in by it. (WHO REALLY BELIEVES THE MEDIA HAS OUR BEST INTERESTS AT HEART?!)

Now look at us. A lot of the fans bought into the media hype and Rafa was gone. Big mistake. Back to square one. Lets hope they don't buy into this 'Roy Must Stay' rubbish as well. Hodgson really has to go.

'Believe' if you agree with these sentiments.

The media, including all the so called pundits, have been nothing short of pathetic over this. I really hope Hodgson gets the England job. I'd really like to see how long they support him when he makes a complete mess of that too. Well. a bigger mess. That would put them in a tight spot and show them for what they are. We don't get real news anymore. just a pick and mix based on what suits the media agenda. Our press isn't open and free. They are just a lying bunch of scumbags. The anti liverpool/ rafa agenda is appalling to say the least and completely xenophobic. I don't buy these nice guy platitudes either. You'd have to a conceited * * to make the kind of post match comments Hodgson has been spluttering out all season. The comments utterly defy belief for any manager at any club. Not his team. ha ha ha. now * * off Roy. This club has been run by complete nitwits at every level for long enough. C'mon NESV. show us your big hairy ones!

Gerrard scored 23 goals from the right wing??
Here we go again. Gerrard did not score 23 goals from playing solely on the right wing. Did you just get that info off the last post?
Every1 is entitled to their opinion but at the end of the day there is an "opinion" and then there is just plain "bulls* t". The b.s is what the other ed was talking and now your talking the same b.s.
You talk about me being childish and petulant but yet you let silly pics be posted in your "sightings" section of the site lol, you approve the most ridiculous transfer rumours known to man on the site lol, i think the original ed who owns this site is the only man on here with extensive football knowledge and he is the only man worth listenin to. All you other editors are useless to be perfectly honest.
And lastly, is that the way you would usually treat your posters when they have proved one of you wrong, or challenged your so called knowledge by stating that "if you don't agree with peoples opinions then i suggest you don't post here no more"
You boys need to get a grip to reality and start being more professional

{Editor Note: I believe the editor who made the initial point about Gerrard being best on the right is the one who you have just described as having extensive football knowledge. Keep up. I simply stated that you should no longer post here if you can't handle different opinions and go off on one when someone's opinion differs to yours, especially when I actually agreed that I didn't believe Gerrard's best position was on the right. So I don't see what I have supposedly been proven wrong on. Again, keep up. I'm merely trying to say that everyone is entitled to their opinion and doesn't deserve the abuse you are spouting out because theirs may differ from yours. And we try to be as professional as possible - especially when dealing with someone like yourself who tells us to be professional yet acts like a petulant child. Please, in your next post try to be more co-operative and open-minded.}

{Editor Note: If you read my previous post you would have noticed that I'm not the ed who said that. However, like I said everyone is entitled to their own opinion and if it differs from yours doesn't mean they are idiots or know nothing about football.}
Of course it means he knows nothing about football.
When some1 claims that a certain player ie. Gerrard is best playing on the right then it is as clear as day that he does not have a clue what he is talking about.
Its like saying Rooney's best position is on the left (which he played alot when Ronaldo was around)
or Kaka is best played in a deep midfield position just in front of the back 4.
It makes no sense.
The Ed that made that statement has no football knowledge whatsover.
Come on m8 you have to agree.
After all he is an editor of a footballing website and yet he does not know the simple basics of "World Class Players" positions.
It just brings the whole site down to a ridiculous non-intelligent low.

{Editor Note: Didn't Gerrard score 23 goals and make numerous assists from the right which was his highest ever tally? Admittedly, I think he's best in another position but the other ed has a valid arguement to back his statement up. And I think comparing Kaka playing in a deep midfield position to Gerrard playing on the right is an unfair point to back up what you're saying. As I said before, everyone is entitled to their opinion and it is unfair to call them idiots and claim they know nothing about football because their opinion differs from yours. On your part, it is incredibly childish and petulant and if you cannot learn to accept other opinions then I suggest you no longer post here.}

PS - as for the guy who ripped the other Ed's head off re. Stevie on the right wing - a bit OTT as the season that Stevie played out on the right I think he scored 23 goals and would've created some great assists with his whipped in crosses. I don't think it was HIS favourite position but he was certainly effective from there.

I have frequented the site since this site spawned from football-rumours. sure fans are angry about woy but cmon no point calling fellow fans idiots when we are all supporters of the same team. hate the fact that people on here go on about "if your a true fan" please get over yourselves we have very little to be arrogant about at the moment. have faith in our new owners. and they may repay that faith afterall do you know many people with 300 million quid that are willing to buy a sinking ship?

Hi Ed,
My point exactly, Hodgson has been performing way below the expectations of a Liverpool manager for a very long time and NESV have done nothing.
Beyond that what have NESV done apart from let kids in for free to see one of Roy's horrendous 0-0s?, nothing.
As for your point about buying players outside a window, that has no consistency at all to my previous threads and sounds like something Hodgson would bring up after a poor result.
Is this guy infectious, or are you a Roy sympathiser (surely not Sir Alex)?
Cheers

{Editor Note: I don't know where you came to the conclusion that I was a Roy sympathiser considering it is NESV I am talking about. Perhaps more concentration is required. And what can NESV do only two months into their tenure? They want a new board and that takes time especially if you want the right people. They haven't decided on a stadium yet as they want to do research on what the best option would be. They couldn't buy players because they were outside a transfer window and they know that the January window is a difficult one to buy in. And Henry admitted that results were unacceptable, they aren't stupid. Don't be so fickle and turn on them after only two months just because things aren't going well on the field. It is an incredibly petulant and childish thing to do in my opinion. And as I suggested before - do more research on them at the Red Sox and what they have said since coming here before suggesting they are ignorant and out of their dephs.}

I think Gerrard is just saying what we all know and what we all have been thinking and as captain I think he has a right to. And I hope we're in for a surprise in the morning mate.}

King Kenny save us before there is nothing left to save. Roy blew a perfect opportunity to get us back into the top six and he really f* * it up. Johnsons defending on the first and third goal along with sotos on the second goal thought i was watching u-10's. Gerrards pk miss, i think it was intentional. King Kenny we need you there is no time to wait. Until about early december I supported roy but come December i realized he was s**t.

Hi Ed re your comment on reading up on stadium etc. Fair enough re stadium, but as to manager and players and et al, at what point do you think it would be reasonable for NESV to make a decision on anything? To my knowledge they have made no decisions on anything. Is that because they are content, ignorant, or way out of their depth?

{Editor Note: How many transfer windows have NESV had? We are 6 days into their first and we all know January is a hard month to get players. And as for decision making, I think they'd rather be patient and make the right decisions rather than rush into things and make the wrong decisions. And they certainly aren't ignorant or out of their depths - maybe you should refrain from ignorance and read up on them more mate.}

Ed. When you don't have control you do what you want and then there is chaos. I don't believe Roy is being a good manager if the rumors are true that Gerrard can tell him to make a substitution and he will actually do it. Rafa wouldn't take such nonsense abd I don't believe that there is any world class coach that would do the same.Todays performance was just sad. I eithet believe Torres has lost his passion or doesn't have some one to give him the right direction. I honestly think the injuries is what disrupted Rafa s season last year and believe he could have brought us back to new hieghts this year. Liverpools squad is 10 times better than fulhams so when Roy complains I don't see it. Yet he can't motivate our squad to do anything . The team looks dejected and disjointed. No fluent play no nuthin. He needs to be fired. That's all I can say.

Hey ed, first time posting on here so hopefully it will get posted.( Great site by the way)
I think tonight was the straw that has broke the camels back for most of us fan's. Have bin searching all over the web and it's mayhem out there with every1 calling for Woy's head. Even the nesn journo's are sayin it on their site. I personally would love to see KK (King Kenny) for all those lot who thinks it's some1 else, come in on a short contract and then let nesv take 6 months to get this decision right as i believe that the next manager is gonna be 1 of the most important that we will ever make. Like the look of Boas but he is unproven still i think, the club need's some1 who is gonna be able handle the pressure because there is gonna be a massive amount come the summer.
Ur thought's ed?

well said ed:i just hope the next guy to come in & takeover will have us playing crisp attacking football, how wrong roy was when he thought he could take over the reins at our club & use the tactics he used at fulham what a kn* & thanks roy for makeing us the laughing stock of th epl.

We've gone from one set of Yanks to another set of Yanks (albeit much more PR savvy).

Re the Sammy Lee criticism - when he was at Bolton he failed the 3rd FA badge several times. He finally got on a course with only other women attendess. He failed it again (the only one), but to save his humiliation he was 'passed' with all the other ladies. Maybe could take over from Roy? {ed's note - I was trying to google that to find the story, but haven't been able to find it. But he struggled through the first one as well, he got the lowest grades on the course then, I remember that was in the Echo because there was only one woman on the course and she complained about favouritism. Apparently she got the highest marks all the way through but was given the lowest possible pass grade while Sammy Lee and someone Everton were putting through (I forget who it was) were given the highest grad


Disgraceful post. So we pick coaches on ability to pass an exam now do we? maybe this girl should have got the job, Don't recall her playing at the heart of one of the world's greatest teams for years though. Of course that doesn't matter now does it, much more important to have a Friggin useless FA coaches certificate.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Clearly it does matter, coz to me Sammy hasn't got a clue on what to do off the pitch!

Ever since Paco left and Sammy came back as #2 we've been on a decline. Harsh on Sammy I know, great player, crap coach. He's as lost as Woy on the sideline. I still reckon Paco was a huge influence in the Rafa success, an unsung hero.

I can't imagine how the likes of gerrard and torres are feeling , they must be fair f#####G pissed . How can torres be expected to score loads of goals and play well if he is playing upfront with Ngog and being managed by Hodgson. Bring in Kenny Dalglish as new manager and make a new start! !

Ed i don't know why you haven't posted this yet. I just saw someone post thinking that we're going to spend £120m in the summer, that is simply not going to happen as EPL clubs will be restricted by the financial fair play rule, that is why city has been spending heavily for past seasons. From this summer clubs will only be able to spend the profits they generate

no one is restricted by fair play till 2012

See for yourself mate, here are some quotes from an article written by Daniel Geey which was on TIA.

'The FFPR will therefore start to bite from the 2013-14 season. The rules need to be borne in mind from the 2011-12 season onwards because the 2011-12 and 2012-13 season accounts are used to determine a club's licence application in the 2013-14 season. For Liverpool, it means the club is unlikely to take advantage of the loophole that clubs like Manchester City are using for their benefit (i.e. buying this season so transfer spending does not appear in their 2011-12 accounts). Manchester City may still have break-even problems if their wage bill is as astronomical as most newspapers speculate.'

{Editor Note: Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought from three years starting next season, club finances get reviewed every three years. Not totally sure on that though.}

Tony Evans, Football Editor
Updated 7 minutes ago
Commentary
One of the things Liverpool supporters liked about John W. Henry when he took control of the club in October was his honesty. He admitted he knew nothing about football and needed to learn.

So what has he discovered in three months? That Anfield might not be the bargain it looked and that he was bequeathed a manager who seems as clueless as any American innocent.

Yesterday brought new lows for Liverpool. It began with a "club executive" blaming the dissatisfaction with Roy Hodgson on the Spirit of Shankly supporters' union. To have an insider sneering at some of the most devoted fans gives a snapshot of the dysfunctional nature of Fenway Sports Group's (FSG) latest acquisition.

Last night showed the extent of the lie as the day ended with another humiliation. The away support sang: "You're getting sacked in the morning." There are people who would like the world to believe it was the work of card-carrying union militants. It was not.

Almost the entire fanbase has lost faith with the manager. That is embarrassing to people who have prided themselves on a tradition of fanaticism for half a century.

Hodgson has lost his way. He inherited a mess that even a more dynamic and inventive manager would have struggled to clean up.

But the 63-year-old has proved to the supporters that he is out of his depth. On the Kop, it was believed that Liverpool had bottomed out last season. Hodgson has showed that there are still fathoms to be plumbed.

This, remember, is a team that contains Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard and Joe Cole, a trio of talents, and a class goalkeeper in Pepe Reina. Bill Shankly said that a team is like piano: "Three to play, eight to carry it."

There are managers across the world who would kill for those three - and for the chance to turn the likes of Dirk Kuyt, Glen Johnson, Daniel Agger and Raul Meireles into heavy lifters.

Liverpool need leadership. Hodgson is not supplying it. It is time for FSG to provide some direction. It cannot allow the rift between fan and club to grow. It cannot allow the club to sink any lower.

Furher to my earlier post re Sammy Lee. This was not to belittle a former player, just to underline how little knowledge any player needs to have to become an important part of a top level football club. In any other walk of life the people with the higher qualifications will progress. If my post had said 'lads' would that be ok? My point was that Sammy did not have the qualifications to be in the job he has, and if qualifications don't count what does?
To take this point further, what do Roy Hodgson and Damien Comolli have to justify their appointments over anybody else? Bias, prejudice, ignorance, luck?

Enough is enough . time to go roy to try and save some face . .possibly the worst manager liverpool have ever had . .you just took over from benitez and played the same style and the same underachieving players . .lucas, ngog, the greek, skrtel, kuyt, ( and also the s* te you bought.poulson, jova, konky). . these players would struggle in league 1 let alone the prem . . .for christ sake give the hungry youngsters a chance with first team players and buy a new back four!. . . . . . . . . .some of the defensive positional play reminded me of under 11s football . .absolutely disgraceful

Lol just read this stat:

'Dalglish has won more trophies than Hodgson has won away games in all his time managing English sides'

I so hope I wake up tomorrow to find NESV have realised this too.

When NESV took over the Boston Red Sox, in the space of a year, they made 3 changes to the management structure. Apparently in Baseball there is a Manager and a General Manager (dunno how any of this works, I have no interest in baseball!) until they appointed someone who turned them into winners.

The point I'm trying to make is that this proves they want the best for their sports teams. Yes they probably knew all about baseball before they bought the Red Sox but it also proves that they are willing to make sacrifices in order to succeed.
They may not know a lot about football and about our Club, but one thing is for certain that they are not going to splash £300million on us only to feed us to the dogs.

I think if there was a proper board structure in place at the club, Hodgson would have already been gone. I mean, Tom Werner has just taken over as Chairman but knows very little about football. We have no CEO, and the only other director on the board of directors is Ian Ayre, who deals with the commercial side of the Club.

Lets just hope that despite lack of experience in football in general, NESV are true to their word, are winners, want to be winners, and do what is best for the club right now and that's sack Roy Hodgson.

All they have to do is look at these. Some of the worst results and decisions made of his reign so far.

Man City 3-0 Liverpool (Premier League)
Man Utd 3-2 Liverpool (Premier League)
Liverpool 2-2 Northampton (League Cup) lost on pens
Liverpool 1-2 Blackpool (Premier League)
Everton 2-0 Liverpool (Premier League)
Stoke 2-0 Liverpool (Premier League)
Liverpool 0-1 Wolves (Premier League)
Blackburn 3-1 Liverpool (Premier League)

Wasted £4.5m on Poulsen from Juventus and sent a perfectly good player in Alberto Aquilani on loan to them.

Wasted £4.5m on Konchesky plus gave Fulham 2 of the Reserves brightest young talents in Lauri Dalla Valle and Alex Kaciniklic as part of the deal.

And perhaps the biggest stand-out stat of them all. .

Roy Hodgson is the WORST manager in Liverpool history.

C'mon NESV or FSG, whatever you want to be called! Stand by your word, listen to the fans, turn us into winners, and GET ROY OUT!

together with the attendance against bolton, tonights game was the first time i can remember we havent sold all the away allocation at blackburn, if he is not sacked now we will have to call him the cat he must have 9 lives, he looked very tired after the game, as if he had given up, he is too thick to resign he has to be sacked he can't blame anyone else now ok a few mistakes mainly by johnson, but i can't remember a proper tackle no motivation or will to win, as sad as hulk im gutted, bob paisleys skids

Excerpt from Roy's post match interview tonight:

Asked about his feelings after the defeat Hodgson said: 'Dejection, bitter disappointment, frustration. I am very disappointed for the fans who gave us good support and saw the team concede the goals we did.

'I thought in the second half we did well to retrieve a seemingly hopeless situation and get back on track and had Steven's penalty gone in who knows, we may have made the last five minutes more exciting.

'Unfortunately when you are Liverpool and you lose away to Blackburn there is nothing that can be said which will put a positive slant or make the situation look any brighter.

'As far as I am concerned it is a really bad day and there is not much more I can say other than, to the fans, that anything they are feeling tonight I can assure them the feeling is equally as bad and equally as depressed in the dressing room.'

I wonder why the dressing room is depressed Roy?

Is it because you're a stubborn old goat?

Is it because you sign c*ap players who are nowhere good enough for LFC?

Is it because you insist on playing unattractive, weak defensive negative football that leaks more holes than the titanic?

Is it because LFC is too big a club for you to handle? Why not just admit you've bitten off more than you can chew?

Is it because you've alienated most of the dressing room?

Is it because you insist on Mike Kelly on being a c*ap 1st team coach?

Bye Bye Roy and please shut the door on the way out.

Things are looking bad at the moment , im gutted with result but sacking manager and buying three top players will sort us out , need to ship out a few as well so don't be too bothered lads , it is up to our new owners to take action asap and do something , hodgson and lee must go in the morning , daglish to take match on sunday and lets see where we go . red . ps . if our new owners don't fix this manager issue the hooneymoon period is coming to an end and they must know that . 35 thousand at bolton game is a powerfull message.

Again we lose against a mediocre team and the poor fans are dissappointed AGAIN FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME it is time for changes.The transfer window has opened up with lots of promise and we have not moved an inch wake up sign players we need improvement i.e. WORLD CLASS PLAYERS so Honda has said he wants to come and what do we do NOTHING we are waiting for good old Ferguson to snap our targets or WENGER OR MAN CITY it is time we move early for once and secure our targets.Why don't we learn our lessons?
So Elia is good so sign him for Gods sake, move people other clubs are all wide awake. NESV WAKE UP WE NEED 60 MILLION! ! ! ! MONEY TALKS AND WINS YOU SILVERWARE. Get Aquilani back, get rid of Babel and Insua, Poulsen, Kyrgiakos, and whoever does not want to be here we need belief, love confidence and a swell manager a.All managers out there should be looked at and quickly spoken to the chosen one and appoint him. We always seem to ponder too long on things and wait for a miracle to happen it won't we need world class players to turn this misery around! ! ! ! Llorente, Diarra, pato, dzeko, people like this or as ferguson does he fishes out unknown targets that are great like Hernandez I hate Ferguson and Manure but they are getting their transfer targets right and look at them. Where is Honda? Sign him please.yes=believable no=unbelievable

Ed! can i ask do you still think that liverpool don't need new defenders?

I think we are hugely missing Carraghers organisation of the defence because Skrtel, Kyrgiakos and Johnson look all over the place. But i still think we need to sell Glen, and Soto and buy a leader of a defender to take over JC when out, but hopefully Wilson or Kelly or Ayala can do that for us.
and we need 2 wingers and a striker aswell!

To the person who said they stopped watching at 2-0, your going to have to get off for starters. to the people who openly back skrtel , the same. to those who say Gerrard should keep his nose out of team selection obviously he was or Konchesky, Skrtel, Krygiyard-dog et al would have started.

If Gerrard voiced his opionion at half time, when we where 2-0 down to easily one of the worst sides in the league, then I applaud him. Because I bet not a liverpool fan on this planet wasnt doing the same, Gerradr was in a position to to do something and he tried, that's why he is the captain.

To anyone who doubts hsi intenions or questions them, then surely you are no fan nor scholar of this fine insitution, A well read 'red' will easily remember from reading some of the fine autibiographies some of our greatest players have ever written that at half time, full time and during games, that if you werent winning then you let the players who werent pulling their weight know that fact.

In fact anyone who has played football at any level will tell you, if your playing center midfield for example and your two centre halves and left back are being awful by god you will leet them know. If Gerrard hadnt of done this, then he shouldnt be captain, he loves the club, hes a fan, anyone who doubts his actions needs to crawl back under there stone. Some serious nonsense gets written on here (it makes it interesting!) but to doubt the intentions of steven gerrard in this situation is ridiculous.

I bet he wished Carragher would have been there two and maybe we would have seen some of them come out sporting matching black eyes! ha

If any centre back needed to be taken off it should have been skertel, gerrard should keep his nose out of team selection


Shuttup Soto,

Liverpool were poor tonight, stevie is the only one who has the balls to say anything. Roy has to go! And as far as I'm concerned he can take the players that were on his side with him, agger should start every game, Wilson would have been a better option too. Why take maxi off too, he's been class recently, should have took Lucas off for kuyt, not coz he's s* t, but coz we would have more attacking options with stevie and cole who can hold midfield and attack, cole would have done anything tonight (although he does look like he needs drug testing lol)

Transfers. .
Lfc need more attackers (forwards and wingers) we have these, then hopefully (wishful thinking) we will be too busy attacking and not so much pressure will be on the defence

Deals need to be made, how slow and stupid can they be when a player like Honda says come and get me, and Lfc don't? Is this hodgsons doing or camolli?

Adam Johnson? Arda? Young? Shawcross? Samba any good? These players could make a difference, I know I can't sign them, but surely they're better than Dempsey? C.cole? And other shockers Lfc are linked with

If the owners don't sack him then we are in real trouble they have let this run to long. Kenny can take the riens to the end of the season then make the decision.

But these owners neither have the money or the right knowledge to take us forward. They keep talking about a "STEEP LEARNING CURVE" well why did you buy the club if your not football people just like H&G all about profit.

We are in a bad place I fear it may just get worse.
Attracting top players will prove impossible.

I hope when I wake that idiot has gone lets hope the decision in appointing him is the worst Purslow and Broughton made I fear it may not be.

Cant believe some of the supporters on here who seem to be making excuses for Woy saying that the squad just isn't good enough! !

Lets compare a Liverpool (in 12th place) and the Bolton Wanderers (7th place) team against Wigan tonight. .

Pepe Reina Jaskelinen
Glen Johnson Robinson
Martin Skrtel Cahill
Soto Krygiakos Knight
Paul Konchesky Ricketts
Steve Gerrard Muamba
Raul Meireles Taylor
Joe Cole Petrov
Maxi Rodriguez Moreno
Dirk Kuyt Davies
Fernando Torres Elmander

I could also have used Newcastle (8th) Blackburn (9th) and Stoke (10th) as examples by the way.

The difference between us and the likes of Bolton. . .

A DECENT MANAGER! !

Imagine what Owen Coyle could do for us?!?! !

Those who think its because he's been left with a bad squad - get a grip! Stop settling for medorcrity. We are Liverpool Football Club

The owners should appoint Kenny NOW and consult him, Stevie G and Carradonna on the next manager. These are people who live it.

After studying body language that was a definate miss by stevie, like when someone lies they touch their nose or ear or do some hand movement at the point of the lie, the body can't help it, just b4 stevie took the penalty he covered his badge with his hand as if to say i love this club but i really have to do this so look away, at that moment of the kick he was not a liverpool player, then when he missed and turned away there was no reaction or raising of the eyes as sign of disappointment,

Liverpool Rumours
I for one am not ashamed in the slightest of the half time bust up, i am actually glad, it shows someone in that camp actually cares. it also hopefully indicates that there may be a change, but i can only dream, if i had a pound for every time i woke up expected tweedle dee and tweedle dum (roy and sammy) to get sacked id be well off.

after the everton match, newcastle, stoke, wigan, blackpool, wolves, northamotin etc, i hope im not reading into this but could we wake up tomorrow and be dissapointed once again roy still incharge?

needed that rant lol

How is Benitez still being blamed for this on SKY? Seriously, zonal marking was analysed every goal we conceded, now when we ship bags of goals not a comment about our defence, no one in the media blames hodgson, it is a joke, I think they are pleased with his work

Raffa's zonal marking system got criticised but we had the second best defence in the league and was hard to break down and score against.
Gerrard behind Torres is Gerrards best position and the two scored for fun when in partnership.
Now I know many blame the players Hodgson inherited but the question has to be. What position would Liverpool had finished last season if there wasn't major injuries? I believe at least 5th. Last season we was without Torres and Gerrard for half a season plus other injurys.
This season we leak goals and don't look like scoring. Our performances are poor and confidence an all time low. You can't blame Benitez for this season.
Reina, Gerrard, Torres are 3world class players. Johnson, Cole, Agger are established players yet were in a slump. Why? Poor coaching, poor management are the 2key factors here
