Roy Hodgson's increasingly beleaguered situation at Liverpool was illustrated today when the club cancelled a pre-arranged press conference to preview Sunday's FA Cup third-round tie at Manchester United.
The Liverpool manager is believed to be close to the sack following a miserable six months in charge and refused to answer questions on his future in the aftermath of Wednesday's 3-1 defeat at Blackburn Rovers.
Hodgson's future would, inevitably, have dominated today's press conference, which was expected to start at 1.30pm but was cancelled at 11.44am. The manager has not left the club, however, and an interview with Hodgson is scheduled to appear on Liverpool's in-house television channel and website later today.
As reported by the Guardian today, Liverpool's Spanish players Fernando Torres and Pepe Reina are considering their futures at Anfield regardless of whether or not Hodgson stays in charge.
