Liverpool FC confirmed today that manager Roy Hodgson has left the club by mutual consent.

Principal Owner John Henry commented: "We are grateful for Roy's efforts over the past six months, but both parties thought it in the best interests of the club that he stand down from his position as team manager. We wish him all the best for the future."

Roy Hodgson said: "Being asked to manage Liverpool Football Club was a great privilege. Any manager would be honoured to manage a club with such an incredible history, such embedded tradition and such an amazing set of fans. Liverpool is one of the great clubs in world football. I have, however, found the last few months some of the most challenging of my career. I am very sad not to have been able to put my stamp on the squad, to be given the time to bring new players into the club in this transfer window and to have been able to be part of the rebuilding process at Liverpool. The club has some great, world-class players, with whom it has been a pleasure to work and I wish the entire squad well for the rest of the season. I thank those with whom I have built up a close working relationship at the club for their loyalty and support during very testing times, and finally of course to the Liverpool fans, your passion and dedication to the club will see Liverpool at the top of the game once more."

Club legend Kenny Dalglish will assume control of team matters for Sunday's third round FA Cup tie against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Henry added: "We are delighted that Kenny Dalglish has agreed to step in and manage the team for Sunday's FA Cup tie at Old Trafford and for the remainder of the season.

"Kenny was not just a legendary footballer, he was the third of our three most successful managers - three giants. We are extraordinarily fortunate and grateful that he has decided to step in during the middle of this season."

Chairman Tom Werner said: "No one who cares for this great club has been happy with the way this season has unfolded and we have examined options and considered at length what is best for us going forward. Kenny will bring considerable experience to the position and provide management and leadership for the rest of the season."

Yep. Excited and a little nervous about Kenny.
 
Re: He's gone

TalkSport reporting it now.

Handsome statement from Roy BTW. And I'm a lot less nervous about Kenny than I would have been about more or less any alternative.
 
Good news but strange timing.
Kenny back in the dug ot at OT, eh? Bloody brilliant.

Good luck for the future Roy. Although I don't see you having many oppurtunities in the UK.

I thought it was strange timing too, heard it earlier it might happen today, but I rubbished it. It was probably as Kenny was on a cruise...

If that doesn't drag some life out of the 11 fuckers on the pitch, I don't know what will. I bet quite a few scummers are a little more nervous about tomorrow now.

Made up.

Another 'mutual consent' departure. Regardless of who the owners are, have we never actualy 'sacked' anyone? Just a nice cup of tea and a chat, ending in an emotive embrace and a few tears shed by all parties, and the manager leaves with the music to the littlest hobo playing in the backgroup?

tell julia to look at her bleeding phone btw.
 
Im looking forward to seeing Kenny's team selection& tactics tomorrow.

It's also strange that there wasn't a peep about this on Twitter prior to the official statement. Usually someone blabs.

There was. Babel was on about it for a half hour before it went official.

Roy is the only Liverpool manager never to win a trophy.

Kinda understandable

That actually may not be true. But it's a long time since one hasn't.
 
Call me pessimistic but first game in charge being away to OT doesn't fill me with confidence. Nonetheless, glad decision has finally been made and regardless of result tomorrow, we'll be able to face the remainder of the season with optimism!
