Hodgson is one of the most detached managers ever in terms of his rhetorical stance toward the supporters.
I'd hope that Poulsen's a lot better than he's shown, but he's an unathletic, slow player on the way down, so his real level of play isn't ever going to be impressive, or what we need. I have absolutely no idea why we bought him.
That said, of course he could help if he started playing decently, in fact, he'd get whole reactionary threads about just how wonderfully competent he is, such is the state of our midfield.

We waited 3 years for a 'Lucas is competent' thread. It lasted 4 days.
This time it's different. We know what will happen in 3 years time. There is no need to wait.
Poulsen will hit menopause.

That is EXACTLY right
It does seem to come off as being a bit pandering,or dare I say it, patronising.

Roy will come out publicly and back Poulsen. He was a waste of 5M and we got had by Juventus.
He has been spectacularly shite and even he can't get worse.
[/quote]
Of course he will, more important are his actions with Poulsen when it comes to playing him and one thing you can't say is that Hodgson is stubborn over his own signings, because so far he's took him straight out of the limelight as he's clearly struggling for form.
Other managers would persevere and persevere to justify themselves.

Perhaps not in this issue, but i'd certainly like to see some of that stubborn authority from Roy if he is keeping his job till the end of the season.
So far he has not had the "I'm the boss" moment, and i don't think he has earned that respect from the players either.
He just seems gullible and anything goes type of guy at this point.
Oh you, behind my back, appointed a Strategy Director to do the player signings...thats ok.
Oh the crowd doesn't like the player i signed to make an impact in the team...thats ok i'll not play him then.
etc etc...

You want him to be more like the demented idiot we sacked before him ?
If he'd gone down that road he wouldn't be in a job today. Any manager who thinks it's their way or the highway will never manage the club under NESV.

There is a fine line between autocratic dictatorship and authoritative leadership. Rafa may have transgressed at times to the former, but he had the essential leadership ability that a person in LFC's manager role should have had.
I'm doubting if Roy has any of that. So far he has come across as a rank loser....
If i was working under him, i'd find it hard to respect him.

The winning habit affords managers slack to make mistakes. Stubborn authority will be sneered at until such time that Roy has earned the respect of the players and the fans.
Roy did come out with the "I am the Boss" statement when Comolli was appointed. Maybe he is gullible but as Mark pointed out not stubborn, which suggest that he'll learn quickly from his mistakes. I do believe that he'll be here until the end of the season after which Henry will appoint somebody more dynamic.

"Demented Idiot". Ugh.
Anyway, I think King Julian's point is a fair one, however no one has the "I'm the boss" moment until they gain the ability to have it by winning consistently.
Rafa had many I'm the boss moments, all of which he believed were good for the club, and some were, and some weren't. In the end, he didn't have the leverage to keep doing it, because he lost. While Hodgson just doesn't exude any authority in what he says, people will ignore it or focus on it, depending on how many points we get at Stoke, to begin with.

Haha okay, he's not great, but I was out of order for my original comment so it has been retracted.
roy's had a terrible run of luck with his press conferences so far: of all the words in the english language that could escape his mouth, it always seems to be the ones precisely calculated to most humiliate him which get out.
he must be getting quite exasperated by it all.

There is an expectation lowering quote like that buried in nearly every interview with him, its sickening to watch this club be managed by a guy who aspires to nothing more than mediocrity
