Hodgson coy on Cole
July 17, 2010
Roy Hodgson has confirmed he has spoken to Joe Cole but played down talk he is on the verge of joining Liverpool.
Cole is available on a free transfer after leaving Chelsea and has been most strongly linked with Tottenham and Arsenal, but the odds have now shortened on a move to Anfield.
Asked about the situation, Hodgson said: "I'm not a betting man, so that doesn't actually play a big part for me.
"As far as I know, Joe Cole is still a player looking for a club. I know we've been linked with him. I had a very brief chat with him a little while back but, if you want to know about transfer targets, you'll have to ask [Liverpool managing director] Christian Purslow."

Wow, really? You noticed that, too?
It has come as a massive surprise to me, I have to say

Roy, as the Liverpool manager, has spoken to Cole about football and playing for Liverpool. Purslow is responsible for negotiating signing on fee, salary etc therefore having briefly talked football with Cole why wouldn't Hodgson defer to Purslow when reporters are asking if the player is joining us?
Some of you are reading far too much into some off the cuff comments to the press.

Tbph, if 'Cecil' being in charge of transfers means we sell the likes of Insua and El Zhar and buy the likes of Joe Cole, then I'm all for it.
I think he really ought to tell Roy what he's up to, though, because these 'don't ask me' interviews are getting a bit cringeworthy.

We need an Irish manager called Patrick at the club. That'll sort things out.
The thing is though, Roy has just taken over a new team, there is a week to go before our first pretty vital match. And he should be were a manager should be, the training field.
If he and CP have drawn up a list of transfer targets, why not let CP handle the negotiations??
That leaves Roy with the footballing aspect, which is his JOB. And CP can handle the transfer merry go rounds.
It's a good deal if you aske me, and not a doom and gloom example for the bellends.

Hodgson relies on Purslow and Macia (the chief scout), it is pure fantasy to suggest he draws up any list
He says we or the press should "ask" Purslow, how exactly do we or the press do this when Purslow is not a public figure and does not subject himself to press conferences? How does Hodgson propose we go about asking him?
I'd say his comments are very concerning about what goes on at the club and there's no doubt who is in charge, every time Hodgson opens his mouth he tells us.

*Yawn*
Is this what there not employed to do. Macia scouts and reccomends players and gets the OK from the manager, and purslow handles negotiations. This happens in clubs all through the premier league. When benitez signed his new contract he was given to much power in his job this was unprecedented in the premier league all the club have done is return to how it should be.

Not unprecedented, Moyes, Fergie, Wenger and nearly every other manager in the league have the same "power" that Benitez got.
Hodgson is on very different terms and Macia was promoted to chief scout after Benitez was sacked. He and Purslow identify the targets and sign them, Hodgson is just the coach who will soon find he is going to be held responsible for other people's failings and have an almost impossible job. He sold his soul for the chance to have what is still perceived widely as a prestigious job although the way it's going that wont be for long

I love the way you spin things to suit your own agenda, Macia has always been cheif scout. And i'm sorry Benitez wanted full control of everything, including negotiating terms for players which is normally dealt with by the chief exec. Moyes and all the others never had this power. Now it's just returned to how it should be.
