BYE BYE ROY!!!!!

Forums Unread posts
Surely Roy's last 30 mins as Liverpool manager. Henry and co must act now, they cannot put it off any longer.
 
I don't think they'll sack him. He should have been sacked after about 8 games.
 
So the board wants to save the new manager/caretaker manager from suffering humiliation against Manure? Fair play to them then. :-X

Argh... there's goes my self delusion. The silence is deafening...
 
Loads of rumours this morning he's been sacked. Saying that, there were loads before the Bolton game...
 
Did he say anything bad then? I just read his post match thing on the offal and it was just downbeat and honest, we were shite.

He has to go this morning.
 
On the press conference he refused to answer questions on his future saying he was "depressed enough already with the result". Out of his depth - on your way Roy. Apparently overnight there's a huge "Hodgson Out" slogan daubed on Melwood. To be honest, I hate that type of shite.
 
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/liverpool/8242640/Manchester-United-game-could-provide-backdrop-for-Liverpool-manager-Roy-Hodgsons-inevitable-exit.html

Ever since Liverpool’s age of uncertainty ended and the brave new world heralded by the arrival of the club’s owners, Fenway Sports Group, began, Roy Hodgson has existed on the brink.

After two humiliations in seven days, though, it has once more become a question of ‘if’. If not now, when?

Defeated at home by Wolves, embarrassed away at Blackburn Rovers. Liverpool lie 12th in the Premier League, their hopes for a resurgence in the second half of the campaign in tatters.

Their confidence is shattered, their season all but over. Hodgson cannot survive. Hodgson will not survive. Yet as those few fans who had travelled to Ewood Park returned home, he remained in situ.

It is a situation those supporters find almost impossible to understand. The Kop has made its view known.

The online polls have shown the depths of Hodgson’s unpopularity, with one suggesting 97 per cent of the club’s fans wanted to see him ousted without delay. Anfield is in open revolt.

It is also a situation that will not last. The decision has already been made, long before Mick McCarthy’s side ransacked Anfield, long before Hodgson’s goose was cooked at Blackburn. FSG knew almost from the moment they bought the club that they would require their own manager, young and ambitious.

He was not, though, supposed to leave in January. The club’s principal owners, John W Henry and Tom Werner, had hoped that he would stay true to his reputation as a safe pair of hands in the interim.

That hope is now a forlorn one. FSG know they must act immediately. The further the fall, the more exacting the rebuilding job. Liverpool will not be in Europe, that is all but certain. They will need, though, to be in the top half to attract good players.

That is why FSG have altered their original hope of making the first manager unveiled under their aegis a permanent one. That is why they are now believed to want a caretaker for the next six months, to expedite the end of Hodgson’s tenure.

The only issue that remains is when the axe falls. It may be this morning; it may be tonight, or tomorrow. If it was not for FSG’s self-confessed naivety in matters football, it would almost certainly have been long ago.

The concern among Liverpool’s supporters is that it may not be until next week. Hodgson is a dead man walking. Why have FSG yet to put him, and them, out of his misery?

It may be a semblance of loyalty to a decent man. Liverpool’s previous administration clearly thought the club was a chaotic one that needed calm. In hindsight, it was a dying club in need of a jolt.

More likely, it is Manchester United that has saved him thus far. Liverpool travel up the M62 to face their fiercest rivals in the FA Cup on Sunday.

The prospect of making that journey without a manager is impossible to countenance. The prospect of travelling to Old Trafford with a new manager in place, their reign destined to open with a dose of the most venomous poison, is even more unthinkable.

It would be a cruel trick, to leave Hodgson twisting in the breeze, to hang him out to dry in the home of the club’s fiercest enemies, but it is one that FSG may opt for, sacrificing short-term disappointment to permit a long-term rebuilding job to begin on a brighter note, to avoid cursing the brave new world from the off.

Some good bolding there Binster. I'd rather travel to the Scum without a manager rather than have Roy myself.

Me too.

After everything, either way I expect fuckall, but at least I'd expect to see the players stand up and be counted and show something.
 
Under Roy, I expect to lose anyway. So what is the difference to lose with or without Roy?

Without him the player might stand up for themselves.

Yeah, wish we could. If they're really that concern/worried, I wouldn't mind giving it to someone like John McMahon on a one-off, one game basis.

That might be it. Let the players play without instructions from Roy.

In Italy and Spain there is often the goalkeeper coach taking the reins when a manager is sacked and a replacement is not here. Lets bring on Kelly!!! :laugh: :laugh:
 
remember the old days when a managerw ho was completely out of his dept would man up and resign. Now they hang around like a bad smell and get millions of punds reward for it.

And they give out about players being greedy...
 
In the summer there were a lot of fuzz about how we needed go back to the basics, to have an englishman and to find our roots again.

Then I was thinking, havent Howard Wilkinson been kind of an FAs man for education of coaches etc?

I could feel more depressed if Wilkinson himself were our manager now.... Just take me out of this misery.

From fucking morons, yeah.
 
After the way Benitez was overcomplicating things, it was the logical thing to think. Hindsight is fucking great.

Regardless of whether people thought Hodgson was upto the task, the point being made was still a valid one, for whoever came in. Football is reactionary, you have years of one thing, of a manager complicating matters (and I am a Rafa fan), it's inevitable you then want to see the opposite.

Yeah I know, "We need a manager who will things". It's that fuckin easy.
 
Nothing wrong with going back to the basics and wanting a English manager but when there's none of sufficient quality or stature available, do you scrape the bottom of the barrel?

I'm guessing Gerrard wanted an English manager anyway, he certainly did before Rafa arrived.
[/quote]

he wanted curbishley but we dodged the bullet but he eventually got his wish (an english manager) in the end.

yay...
