Roy Hodgson

[Lee]

All that was a sign of a man hopelessly out of his depth and being found out for just how limited he is.

Absolutely mate.

I'm just glad that the old goat has gone.

[mick the click]

I kind of feel sorry for the old oaf. It wasn't his fault he was given the job, he was also unlucky in that when he was appointed there was tight ******* owners, a ****** MD and the ****ting squad were acting up too. He was inept for sure and didn't help himself, but now he's gone i don't hate him. In fact i wish him well.

Good luck Roy.

I'll go with that. I'm just relieved he's gone.

Kenny isn't the (new) messiah but it's a big step in the right direction.

There's no way Hodgson signed Meireles.

He was lined up as Mascherano's replacement according to a lot of ITK's.

Not ****ing Poulsen.

[Helios Creed]

I'm sure SSN just mentionned a £7m payoff?

[destinydude]

Bull****ing****. No way is Hodgson getting a 7m pay off. Totalbollocks

Hodgson admitted himself, that he didnt know what Meireles' best position was. To my mind, a manager who doesnt know what a player's best position is, didnt sign him.

[Neil Young]

Even in his 'exit statement', he still had to have a little bit of blame shifting and a dig at not having been able to bring in his own players When he was given the chance to do that, he bought PFK and Poulsen

Yes, his statement was misleading and entirely self-serving, as usual, without a shred of humility or dignity.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Hodgson speaks out after Anfield sacking

Departed Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson today broke his silence in an extraordinary outburst against the club and its new manager, Kenny Dalglish.

Hodgson, who claimed to be friends with Dalglish when both worked at the club, told of his disappointment in the Scot and feels he has been knifed in the back.

"Ken couldn't wait to get his mits on the job. He was upset that he was snubbed last summer and has been loitering in the background all the time, waiting for an opportunity. That opportunity came and he's taken it with both hands.

"The club have painted it as a mutual agreement, as clubs often do, but there was nothing mutual about it - only that I agreed to their terms in sacking me and I agreed to leave quietly.

Hodgson also attacked the club's fans, who he feels never gave him a chance.

"Far from supporting me, they've actually been taking the piss out of me - which, for a man of my experience and my track record, I feel is an extreme liberty. There are videos on the internet poking fun at me and I had next to no support both on matchdays and on the phone-ins and internet forums.

"Those fans have an extraordinary reputation but I have to say I never saw anything to support that reputation."

The LMA manager of the year has also spoken of his unhappiness with the way his methods have been perceived, and believes there is an agenda to belittle him.

"I watched the game against Manchester United and they lost. The performance wasn't much different to what we saw lately, yet certain quarters of the press and the fan-base are claiming it was a brave new Liverpool. Certainly I didn't see that. In fact, when we went there a few months ago under my management, we scored two goals in a performance full of verve, quality and passion."

The former Inter Milan and Switzerland boss has said he intends to return to management as soon as possible and doesn't believe potential suitors will be put off by his difficult spell on Merseyside.

"I'm looking for work right away and in no way has my CV been negatively affected by my short time there. I wasn't given the opportunity to put my stamp on the squad. Hopefully in my next job I'll be afforded that luxury."

Anyone buying that? LOL

[The_weatherman]

OK, Shaggy you made that up right? It's getting so hard to tell the difference

[EwarWoo]

Damn. Now the ****s hitting the fan

Nah, not buying for a second, was going to ask if it was a shaggy edit or shaggy article but won't spoil the joke

[Fredo]

He isn't providing any links, he normally does.

[Kenneth]

Lots of shaggy edits there, just not sure which ones.

[badpiggy]

Shaggy you ****er!! Seriously worried about myself about how incensed that "article" made me!!

[Fredo]

He made that up entirely I'm pretty sure.

I put a bit of white text at the bottom. It's pure Hodgson though isn't it. His made up quotes write themselves, I can hear him saying every word.

He made that up entirely I'm pretty sure.

100% of it.
