Liverpool set to tie up Hodgson deal

Roy Hodgson flies back from the World Cup today, hoping to tie up a deal to become Liverpool’s new boss.

The Fulham manager was favourite to succeed Fabio Capello if England had lost yesterday and the Italian was forced to quit.

Hodgson is Liverpool’s No.1 target to replace Rafa Benitez and the Anfield board rubber-stamped an official move for him last Friday.

Talks have been held up by Hodgson’s role as a BBC TV pundit in South Africa.

But with the experienced boss due back in London this evening, club officials expect to make an official announcement in the next 48 hours.

Liverpool have interviewed several candidates for the job, including Martin O’Neill, Manuel Pellegrini and Alex McLeish, with Reds legend Kenny Dalglish and MD Christian Purslow holding secret meetings over the past three weeks.

But they swiftly settled on Hodgson as the best candidate and have been waiting for him to return to thrash out contract details.

Yossi Benayoun’s intended departure to Chelsea should be completed by the end of the week, with the £5million fee added to an initial transfer kitty of £15m.

And with £35m-rated Javier Mascherano agitating for a move, with both Barcelona and Inter Milan interested, Hodgson could have nearly £50m to spend.

It probably should the added to the existing "The new manager" thread rather than to start a new one.

Hodgson, Martin O’Neill, Manuel Pellegrini and Alex McLeish

Not exactly an inspiring list of candidates is it? There's nobody there that really excites me, nobody who I can see bringing anything fresh and most of all, nobody there who's going to attract the right players to us.

Well Hodgson took Fulham further in E Europe than us.
O’Neill took Villa above us in the league.
Pellegrini got further than us in CL.

Dunno about the highlander!

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Roboklopp]

In 1 season. IAFN FFS.

[Shaggy]

How utterly depressing.

Sack Benitez, pay him off and pay a further £8m or so to bring in Roy. Is this some sort of parallel universe or something FFS

Lira that is

[Pablo]

I pray it's not true, nothing against Woy, but to me appointing him confirms we are nowhere near to selling the club, and the rumours we are are not true. No way would we be appointing him if we had rich owners on the way.


Would Roy be the least inspiring LFC managerial appointment in our history? Certainly in my lifetime he would be

Post Shankly, absolutely.

Nothing excites me about this, nothing.
