I always like Roy as a bloke in his short time here, he was a total tool when it came to football for the majority of the time but came across as a nice bloke and in all fairness he was more or less shoe-horned out of the club as the board realised they made a snafu and called the wrong bloke 5 months previously.

Since then, despite making the obvious slightly more obvious, I've not heard him say or suggest anything in anger and even yesterday I heard him on SSN I think it was talking up the club..

So i'm not glad he's won today but I won't begrudge it either, as he did wonders with Fulham and he'll do wonders with his new underdog side, the Baggies.

It's not as if we had anything to play for and half the first team was missing so meh.

Well done Roy but yeah fuck off.
 
I don't know , he still wrecks my head . I just don't buy into all the Mr.Nice guy shite and all the "i've managed for 35 yrs so i deserve everyone's respect " crap.
He hasn't said anything too bad about the club since he left but neither has he admitted he made lots of mistakes when he was here , he's more than happy to play the victim .
 
He's a nice guy when everything's sailing along OK, but turns nasty when the going gets tough. He came with that rep.from other countries he's worked in (Denmark and Italy being the ones I know about - not sure how they found him in Norway and Switzerland) and he proved it in a big way when things began going to sh!te under him at LFC.
 
He's known over here for being a utter dickhead. None of the people I know over here in the media can understand why he's being written about as a nice guy in the English media.

He's a fucking nob.

I cant say i've seen too many articles claiming Roy to be a lovely bloke or whatever. No more than Kenny has had since his return anyway!

Ultimately he failed to deliver and got booted out promptly albeit in pretty murky and potentially unsavioury conditions and despite all this hasn't bitched and moaned a la Fernando and every other disgruntled ex employee. Fair play to him.

But yes, he is a knob.
 
Hodgson said: "I get no extra pleasure from beating Liverpool. I made a lot of friends when I was at Liverpool.

"The players, I have a lot of time and respect for, and the coaching staff, many of them worked with me and worked very loyally.


"I don't take any particular pleasure in that (victory).

"The great pleasure I take is beating Liverpool because it is not something West Brom do very often."

Hodgson did admit he feared Pepe Reina was going to complete a fairytale afternoon by snatching a last-gasp equaliser to add to a string of fine saves.

"Pepe is a good goalkeeper - we all know that - and today we brought the best out in him," he added.

"I was a bit worried when I saw him going up for a corner at the end because I thought the way he was playing he would head the thing in - luckily he didn't!"

He is all fucking sweetness and light when things are going his way.
 
Roy Hodgson was given an astonishing £7.3million pay-off by Liverpool after his six month reign at Anfield.

The manager may not feel he had a chance to shine with Kenny Dalglish in the background, but he was compensated handsomely.

When Fenway Sports Group bought Liverpool in October they were reluctant to look for a new manager and the pay-off Hodgson was due must have come into their thinking.

The golden goodbye means Hodgson earned £8.8m in total during his time at the club, which works out at £45,833 for each of the 192 days he was in charge.

He was back in work by Valentine’s Day at West Bromwich Albion — and inflicting more pain on his former club with a 2-1win.

It cost Chelsea £12.6m to jettison Luiz Felipe Scolari and his assistants in 2009 and Mark Hughes is thought to have been paid £3m after his sacking by Manchester City.

But it is not just the biggest clubs who are paying for changing their minds about their appointments. Sam Allardyce, who was paid £3m after he was sacked by Blackburn last December, received the same when he left Newcastle in 2008


Fuck me , i mean fuck me , it's embarrassing that we fucked things up so much that we have to pay this twat that amount of money . Infact even if the figures were half that it is still ridiculous . Football management , where else can you be so shite and rewarded so handsomely , well unless you're a banker.
I don't understand why clubs don't make more contracts performance related .

I never bought into the whole "Purslow is snake out to shaft the club" thing but there were alot of signs that he was influencing the playing side of things a hell of alot , choosing who to sell and buy and obviously his biggest fuck up of appointing Roy. Thank god he's fucked off also .

TBF Roy was at least as much Broughton's choice as Purslow's. The two of of them did some good things, but Roy's appointment is a big blot on their record in charge.
 
He was a thoroughly dislikeable guy and I'm glad he's gone.

I'm not concerned about any payoffs - it was well worth it. And FSG got Liverpool on the cheap so they can cough up a few extra million to clean up the mess.
 
Roy's reputation as a gentleman of english football is nothing but media hype. After watching how he conducted himself at the club while he was here, I'm absolutely chuffed that he got the boot.

I backed him when he was appointed but footballing wise, Liverpool was too much of an ask for him. He couldn't cope, his tactics were rubbish and his incessant rants to the media made him look bitter and out of depth.

We lost 3 points against him but it would have been a whole lot worse if he was still our gaffer. He took us to the brink of relegation and his anti-football would have got us relegated. Good riddance ;D

Unbelievable. The guy would have dragged himself from fulham by his tongue to take the job- there was no need to have any liability on that scale if it didn't work out. No wonder woy isn't bitter, we should have made him stay and clean the toilets for his money.
