[fah-q]

I heard he's nailed on.




Sorry.

...And you thought my Grammar joke was bad. Sheesh.

Reminds me of when Burnley hired Brian Laws - All the Burnley fans asked Why ?

Similar scenario. They hired Laws as preparation for Championship football, we are hiring Hodgeson for Europa league football and a top 6 finish.

I am ok with Hodgson. No manager is going to succeed with our current situation and Hodgson will probably do as well as anyone. Will come across well, good ambassador for the club, won't have a media vendetta against him like Rafa. It's just about whether we can keep the players we have and whether employing Gus would make a difference.

Hmmm, so your ok with him for lfc, but when he was appointed Fulham manager you said they must be looking to get relegated.

I only know this because i just came across the 'Hodgson becomes Fulham manger' thread, and you were one of the first to post.

Yeah, it was a flippant comment intended as a joke that wasn't funny or clever. As with at least 75% of my posts.

With this bunch of scumbags in charge we'll be lucky if we get anywhere near top 6

The internet is mainly bad puns.

i think we need to get behind roy and despite our misgivings we have to give him a chance.

I am not totally convinced but we dont have a choice.

To get behind Roy, you have to lower your expectations. I like Roy but his appointment says a lot about the clubs ambitions, you can't blame Roy for that.

I will get behind him as I would any manager for us, but I find it very depressing.

good for you for being positive - i just don't have the same optimisim - the appointment of hodgson signals more - Liverpool will no longer be contenders for anything other than maybe the odd uefa cup or domestic cup run, no more champions league, no major player signings, no major trophy (premier league/champions league)

Thats not roy hodgsons fault, but lets look at another way.

Is Roy Hodgson being appointed by Liverpool Football Club because they really believe he is the man to deliver the Premier League title???

Imo no ****ing chance - the appointment of hodgson signals imo, that there is no takeover coming, meaning we will lose our top stars, won't be getting a new stadium and eventually we will reduce the squad to minimise costs and roy will be tasked with getting the best of whats left which will be a top 10 finish and if we get some luck a uefa or carling cup run to cheer about.

Roy might do a fantastic job - but we aren't going to be challenging for 4th let alone the title

If or when we ever get taken over - hodgson will be sacked.

Sorry Mate if it appeared I was singling you out for this lack of optimism. It's just that your post was the last before I replied.

Fantastic multi-level paronomasia.
