Roy Hodgson

[Sion]

I got laughed at on here for suggesting that Hodgson wasn't for us, at all, ever, before he was appointed.

 

Who laughed? Most people said this

 

I got slated for saying he wouldn't have my support because he was such a t***.

I'm a revolutionary.

[owenthomas]

You're not from Southampton are you?

[honourablegeorge]

according to someone Andrew Heaton has retweeted, according to Ian Ayre, he's gone.

 

I think?

 

 

@GBHLFC - I'm hearing from two sources (one a senior journo and other a LFC person) that Hodgson has been relieved of his duties.

[Stanley Leisure]

I got laughed at on here for suggesting that Hodgson wasn't for us, at all, ever, before he was appointed. I said he couldn't win away and that winning away is where the most valuable and expensive points are won. That's what killed us last season - we couldn't win or score away... we only scored a goal a game away last year, we scored at nearly 2 and a half at home. Hodgson was and is managerial poison to this squad. As I said at the time, Rafa got more value out of our squad, which was being f***ed on on high, than Hodgson did out of his, which he'd had for a few years and been encouraged to add to, but could still only manage 1 away win all season. We won 5.

 

Who's laughing now? I'm still not.

 

It's not about you.

[Hus]

By who? The vast majority of people on here didn't want him.

 

Agree, I dont think anyone wanted him apart from the our local hodgson

[Boca]

Are Kev Thompson and GBHLFC reliable?

[Ed the Wool]

Totally agree.

Weird thing is I wasn't 100% in favour of keeping Rafa and am still not 100% convinced he'd be the right guy if he came back.

 

At the same time he had that certain something that you expect with a top quality manager that Roy is lacking unbelievably in spades.

 

Rafa talked like this position was something he was made for and he was owed from hard work and merit while Roy talks like he's just happy to have his foot in the door and do a bit of

sight seeing before the door is closed.

 

It's all a mind set and I smelled failure the very first day...It's awfully predictable.

 

It's not even abnormal s***. It's text book. Rafa was the only one holding the whole thing together. Regardless of what was happening on the pitch last season, that much was obvious to a lot of us. He had his fingers toes and c**k trying to block every hole in the dam. Then you had a prick like Purslow come in and kick him in the balls.

[Ethan]

Thank you Blackburn Rovers and f*** you Bolton for conceding at last minute on Saturday

[aka Dus]

Totally agree.

Rafa deseved to be given 3 or 4 months of rope to hang himself or pull himself out. Til Halloween at least. I would have been quite happy to see him gone by then if we had continued in the same vein. Gut instinct says he wouldn't. And gut instinct also says Nesv would have recognised someone they could work with there, in terms of mission statement.

 

The Hodge is a caretaker appointment given a permanent contract in the same destructive way that a guy gives a wedding ring to some young one he got pregnant on a one night stand. "Doing the right thing" for all the wrong reasons and it's only going to end in tears.

[Cam]

Either he knew before the match (very possible) or the rumour is rubbish. There's no way he'd be told in the dressing-room or on the coach, no way.

 

Still expecting a morning press release either way.

[CarraLegend]

All the optimism will flood back once we're rid of this vermin.

 

And we can finally move on after the Hicks/Gillett stuff, I havent had a proper chance to celebrate over them being removed yet as this s***house has been here. Once he's gone my shoulders will feel about 10 stone lighter!

[honourablegeorge]

Are Kev Thompson and GBHLFC reliable?

 

 

No idea. "Press Conference tomorrow." he's added.

[Hus]

Are Kev Thompson and GBHLFC reliable?

 

I have no idea mate tbh, I hope so...

 

GBHLFC has posted a few things on twitter, he said Kenny would be installed and that Coyle was lined up for the summer, but then he also made some comments about the manager being French and has tipped Deschamps. As with all rumours take with a pinch of salt, I have already lost a few quid when all the Rijkaard rumours were about.

[CarraLegend]

Are Kev Thompson and GBHLFC reliable?

 

Dunno about Kev, the other fella looks like an attention seeking bulls***ter though.

[stressederic]

Who are Andrew Heaton, GBHLFC and Kevin Thompson?

 

This is the thing about twitter, people start saying so-and-so has said this and then getting dead excited, but I've no f***ing clue who anyone is talking about.

If for no other reason, this failure cannot be allowed to sit in Ferguson's office with a glass of red wine in his hand after a defeat and with a smile on his face !

Heaton does hear stuff - isnt he related to Phil Thompson or something? (I am sure someone on here will know)

 

I have no idea about the other two, never seen anything from Kevin Thompson before

excellent.. totally agree.. the expectations we had were down to Rafa.. those short sighted enough to want the man out wanted him out because he was under achieving but failed to look at the big picture as to why that was and instead felt that - because we are Liverpool - we had a right to be in the position Rafa had elevated us to.. wrong.. so so fkin wrong.. this was on the cards this..

Twitter is f***ing s***. Its a dance floor with ultra violet lights for c****.

[New York Red]

I think he has to resign. No coming back from this.

 

Ancelotti will be gone too.

[Mike]

does roy not like ewood park. sacked twice at the same ground?

The Croc then to celebrate?? just posted that i'm in on that one! definitely in on that one!..

[honourablegeorge]

Andrew Heaton - some major momentum building behind the Hodgson rumours #fingerscrossed

[Flasher]

I read that with a Graham Taylor voice in my head

Don't think I'll be sleeping tonight
