From Bascombe's article in tomorrow's NOTW:

Hodgson's switch to Liverpool is now little more than a formality. The 62-year-old could be in the post by next weekend.

I understand Liverpool interviewed several candidates, including former Real Madrid coach Manuel Pellegrini, but decided Hodgson was the outstanding contender.

Chief executive Christian Purslow and Kenny Dalglish had talks with Pellegrini last week but were not hugely impressed by the Chilean, who was replaced at the Bernabeu by Jose Mourinho last month.

Hope it's not true. I was just starting to get excited about Pellegrini.

Its a huge let down if we appoint hodgson. i just dont get it and i dont expect torres or gerrard to stick around to be managed by hodgson.

Gutting if true, absolutely gutting. Ah well, at least next season wont be a let down because I have zero expectations for it. Feels a bit like the final nail in the coffin and the signal that no one at the club has any ambition for us at all.

Are any of you hoping Fabio fails....
Hodgson get's the England job.

[Baracus]

premature excitement gets you know where. As fans we have always been prematurely excited only to let down big time.

I was getting used to pelli come over. Then next year Mourinho will come to us, Rafa to Real and Pelli to Inter perfect.

with pellegrini I was actually looking forward to starting the season, but with this piece by bascombe I feel like the rug has been pulled from under our feet.

Truthfully, I feel really underwhelmed by hodgsons appointment. Unfortunately, this is what happens when the people running the club have very little experience of the game (bar kenny and no-one seems to be listening to him.).

The club is going nowhere.

i thought kenny wasnt helping find new manager as he wanted the job? yes he interviewed pellegrini and advises hodgson?

something not quite right......

but then everyone wanted kenny to be manager and if he interviewed both in kenny we trust!!

[Zapater]

After getting it in my head that Pellegrini will be our coach, if they give it to Hodgeson I'll be absolutely furious and really down.

[Craig_H]

Wasnt hodgson needing to be appointed before he went to south africa?

[Zapater]

Fingers crossed that is the case, he does seem loyal to Fulham and has made some transfer activity so hopefully he wants to stay and build upon his last 2 seasons.

If Bascombe is right this feels worse than ice cold shower. ****e. And I was also started getting excited about the new season.
