I really haven't hated a Liverpool manager more, he truely is an arse.
 
So are Torres Kuyt and Gerrard out for the West Ham game then, christ, its still no excuse we should beat the worst team in the league at home regardless. Guess its time for some of the youngsters to step up, this should be a chance for Pacheco and Shelvey

It won't though. It'll be Poulsen and N'Gog.
 
Hodgson manages to piss me off something stupid.

I was amazed when those comments were made on Twitter, & extremely happy, it's about time the club started fighting our corner when it comes to this international shite. Ten minutes later Roy says it's all ok, stevie had to play the full 90 minutes of a meaningless friendly cos "Fabio" needed him.

Geriatic spineless cunt. Just fuck off m

Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson distances himself from comments made on social-networking site Twitter earlier tonight by Liverpool's Head of Fitness and Conditioning (HFC) coach, Darren Burgess. Angry Burgess had claimed that Capello had backtracked on a verbal agreement that Steven Gerrard would only play 45 minutes in tonight's friendly against France.

Burgess had stated on Twitter: "Completely amateurish and now we pay for their incompetence". Burgess also called it, "absoloutely disgraceful".

The Liverpool manager, Roy Hodgson, who was at Wembley to watch the game, was concerned when Steven Gerrard pulled up with what appeared to be a hamstring injury. Hodgson said: "We have to accept these things happen. Fabio has a job to do, and a squad to use, and it's not for me to tell him how to use that squad and what players to pick". Hodgson added: "There was no absoloute agreement in place, and I refute those claims by Darren. Hopefully Steven will be back fully fit soon, but we have to accept he's an important player for Fabio; and an important player for England".

is this some kind of sick joke? oh fucking dear, roy.

oh. fucking. dear.
 
Roy wants to remain in contention for the England job himself one day, so it's hardly surprising to hear him come out with that. That of course and the fact that he's a spineless coward.
 
HOLD ON A SECOND, I HAVE BEEN WHOOSHED. Those are his actuall comments aren't they? Crumnp didn't make that up did he?

Dear God how bad a Manager is this man.

That ship has sailed, he had a shot at it this summer if he made a media campaign to oust Capello but there is no way on earth he will get the England job now, he will be sacked by Christmas and lets face it Redknapp will be the next England manager

I wouldnt be surprised if this is roys last job, his reputation will take an awful hammering from his time here and then there is the psychological side of it, hes spent 30 years in management to get a shot at one of the top jobs in english football only to be painfully exposed as not anywhere near good enough, where does he go from there, back to relegation battling?

A loss for either manager on Saturday is surely curtains for them..

That's been said of Roy several times now.

BUT, would ANYONE be really surprised if his reaction to the press is something similar? I fucking won't be.
 
Liverpool rage over 'amateurish' FA's role in Steven Gerrard's injury
• Gerrard injured in 85th minute as England lose to France
• Liverpool thought captain would play no more than an hour

Dominic Fifield at Wembley The Guardian, Thursday 18 November 2010 Article history

Fabio Capello and the England set-up were accused of being "completely amateurish" and incompetent last night after Liverpool reacted furiously when Steven Gerrard suffered a hamstring injury late on in the 2-1 defeat by France.

Gerrard hobbled off five minutes from time after stretching to dispossess Alou Diarra, the midfielder clutching the back of his thigh and in clear discomfort as he was treated on the pitch. He departed the stadium with a brief "it's not good" to reporters and will undergo a scan today that will reveal the extent of the damage sustained. Liverpool and their beleaguered manager, Roy Hodgson, will be fearing the worst.

It emerged last night that the Merseysiders had been expecting the 30-year-old to play no more than an hour of England's friendly, with their head of fitness and conditioning, Darren Burgess, provoked into expressing his disgust on Twitter, the social networking site.

"Unbelievable from all associated with England and English FA with regards to SG's injury," he wrote. "Completely ignored agreement and past history. Completely amateurish and now we pay for their incompetence. Absolutely disgraceful." Burgess deleted the two tweets just after 11pm last night.

Capello, who witnessed his first home defeat as England's manager, claimed his hand had been forced by minor injuries sustained during the first half by Gareth Barry and Rio Ferdinand which forced them from the pitch at the interval. "We spoke with Steve [before the game] and said he would play one hour, but after Barry's injury we had some problems," he said. "That was the reason he stayed on the pitch.

"If it's possible, the players will play the time we agree with their clubs. But Barry was really injured so we needed someone senior on the pitch because it was a really young team. He said he was good so, for that reason, he stayed on. Every player was fit to start the game or play in it. Steve was OK. So we're upset about what happened to Steve, of course."

Asked again whether the agreement had been for Gerrard to play no more than an hour, Capello added: "Liverpool asked that he can play one hour if it's possible. They can't decide how long a player plays with the national team. If it's possible, he'd have played an hour. I understand why they're upset, and I'm also upset. The problem is that, when you play this game on Wednesday after a lot of Premier League, Europa League or Champions League games, it's possible there might be an injury for a player. The Premier League, every time, is a tough league for the players."

A hamstring injury could rule out Gerrard for anything up to a month at a time when Liverpool, who languish 11th in the Premier League after defeat by Stoke City last Saturday, are in dire need of his inspiration. The Italian implied the injuries sustained by Ferdinand – a tightness in a leg muscle – and Barry – to his ankle – were not so serious.

The potential fracture in relations with Liverpool provided an unwelcome finale to a depressing evening with England's young and experimental side largely outclassed by France. "We could have done better," said Ferdinand. "We didn't really pass the ball and didn't get going until the last 20 minutes. We could have passed it better, so we're disappointed. We didn't play to our strengths, retaining the ball, so there is room for improvement there."

Capello saw promise in the performance of Andy Carroll, who played despite Newcastle requesting that he be withdrawn after he suffered a minor groin injury against Fulham last Saturday. "Franco [Baldini, Capello's assistant] spoke with Newcastle before the game and we checked Andy before the game," said Capello. "I spoke with him at the hotel, personally, and after the warm-up here. After the first half, too. He told me he was fit to play every time. No player has ever played with me who was not fit. Our doctor said he was fit, so the player was ready to play.

"I'm really happy for the performance of Andy because he played very well. He understood that he'll be a player who'll be important for the future of England. When he received the ball he played quickly and his movement every time was dangerous. The other young players will be better next time they play. They need experience. Without that, it's impossible to put them on the pitch and expect them to play well."

Die Capello you fuck.
[/quote]

Aye.
 
It would have been better if Capello had taken him off as agreed; but promises from an England manager to a club means nothing.

WHat the fuck does he care what appens to us?

Gerrard has been carrying the can for a long time and regards playing for England as being of vital importance.

This was always goingto happen eventually.
 
They always seem to honour Ferguson's agreements. Either that or he magics up a mystery illness and withdraws them from the squad.

I seriously wouldn't be surprised if Hodgson came out with what Crump posted. I hit the roof when I read it. Well played, sir.
 
If Gerrard is out for more than four weeks I would say that Hodgson is fucking doomed.

for those that so desparetely want to see the back of hodgson it could be there silver lining, all i can think of is say it aint so!! This is a disaster and the tweet from darren burgess captures it well!
 
I'm guessing 4-6 weeks. And that will be the end of our season and Roy Hodgson.

He'll miss 3 homes games, which are the games we can win. He'll miss 3 away games, which we'd lose anyway as Roy has won his 1 game a season already.

Capello can fuck off and die.
 
Burgess has had to remove his tweets from last night. Jeezeeess. Thankfully it's in the papers already.
