Roy Hodgson

[Fredo]

The funny thing though, as you said, I expect him to come out with something like this in the not so very distant future. I'm sure he must be fuming now.

[spud_gun]

I really hope he gets the England job. Then we'll see how the old boys network that is the gutter press reacts when he ****s that up.

[The_weatherman]

It's pure Hodgson though isn't it.

It's a bit uncomforting how close you get him.

[Fredo]

Shaggy's got an innate ability to morph into individual characters, Matthew Baldwin being the perfect example.

[Reece]

Who else read that in the voice from Shaggy's videos?

[Drago]

"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."


Yeah right.

[EwarWoo]

I put a bit of white text at the bottom.

As did I, merely playing along

[Rudo]

You're not wise shaggy man

[Shaggy]

As did I, merely playing along

I noticed that ...didn't mean to lump your quote in with the others.

[Baracus]

Is there a club in the premiership that would actuall re-hire him?

Can not see it myself, not even fulham. Al-Fayed comes across as too proud to go back

If he cannot manage a squad full of internationals of which several of these figured in the World Cup final squads. He doesnt deserve to be in football management, let alone managing a PL club

[The Erectile Banana]

I suspect several parts of that article are Shaggy originals.

[barnes10]

if he have paid him anywhere near the reported amounts, it will include buying his silence such that he never knifes us in the back... surely.

NOTW mentioned a £7.5 million pay off

Liverpool have dismissed suggestions that the compensation due to Roy Hodgson in the wake of his sacking could impact upon the club's transfer budget.

The former Fulham manager's departure was confirmed on Saturday morning after just six months of the three-year deal that he signed last summer.

Reports have implied that Hodgson, who has been succeeded by Anfield legend Kenny Dalglish until the end of the season, will be due a year's salary as a lucrative pay-off.

That would also follow the rumoured £4million paid to Rafa Benitez last June, but Liverpoolcommercial director Ian Ayre insists that the club will not be hit in the pocket.

"We reached an agreement with Roy and certainly that type of payment does not come into the same area of business as our transfer budget," he said.

Exhaustive process

Ayre has also defended the decision to hire Hodgson, although he admits that the club ultimately had no choice but to fire the 63-year-old.

"In the summer we went through a very exhaustive process and it is easy to look in hindsight and say it might have been better or different," said Ayre.

"What we have done in the last few days is bring Kenny back to turn it around.

"Roy's departure was not based on the fans' reaction.

"There is not anyone at this club who does not think Roy is a great coach.

"Sometimes things don't come together and don't gel and I think everyone felt that was the case with the level of defeats (nine in the league) and situation on the pitch drove the decision.
