Welcome to LFC Roy Hodgson (Officially Confirmed)

[PTP]

great post

[Vermilion]

Agree with all of that.

A few thoughts/questions:-

1. Roy, if he becomes our manager will have my backing, but he wasn't my first choice. I would have liked; 1. Rafa to stay, 2. Flores from Atletico, 3. Pellengrini, 4. That brazilian from Japan, 5. Roy.

not sure why roy gets ahead of lots of others, but hey ho

2. Thank god we didn't get Martin "I always crack under pressure" O'Neil.
well we would have had a settled team, but i concur

3. What is Roy's record of developing youth talent? We have quite a few young players on the verge of breaking into the first team, I'd like to see them given a go.
16 in one season as confirmed by norris mcwhirter

4. How many more back room staff will leave? There are dozens of them that were recruited in the last 6 years from scouts to coaches to technical staff who analyse games and make DVDs for the players..
Ryan Babel has promised to make DVD's for the players with a rap soundtrack, will we wicked man

5. If players haven't been consulted, why is this?
becuase they are just players

6. I think Roy is a better choice that Kenny, Kenny has been out of management to long and has done **** all since be bought the title at Blackburn.
i hope both of them work together

7. What are Roy's expectations for next season? We've just come out of a terrible season, but the squad isn't that far away from pushing for the title IMO, despite what is said in the press and on most forums.
Roy has said he expects a challenge, but that only becuase it hasnt got any 'r's in it

8. What does he think of Lucas?
doesnt matter what he thinks, if masher goes he is our mumber 1 b default

9. Will he get any money raised through player sales?
he has been promised money, but so was rafa

10. Will he be flying out to South Africa to speak with the Spanish, Dutch and other LFC players out there this week? If he can't do this will he be phoning them?
well apparently pre-season starts in 2 days so no i doubt it and he cant call as his contract is on vodafone, allegedly its to expensive to make foreign calls

11. If we assume a deal isn't even close with new owners will they want to bring their own man in when they take over? I don't want us ending up like Newcastlemaybe but woy will be retirement age and its to late to not end up like newcastle ...

It's interesting in that article that Shaggy pasted that they mention Shanks' appointment...what had he done as a manager before he arrived at the club? Accoriding to the gospel that is Wiki, not a lot, but he went on to great....extremely great...things.

Wonder if Roy could do the same...i can hope.

[Frenchie]

Accepting the Haggered One and welcoming him and his mediocrity will be condoning the decisions of the 2 stooges and the 2 yank wanks.

Cheering or making up songs for him is just like singing Hicks and Gillett forever on the Kop.

Any acceptance of this situation will just tell the bloodsucking **** chewing scum that we endorse them...

He was a bit younger than Hodgson though, Shankley was yet to prove his worth, Hodgson has had decades and decades to do the same, also he was'nt a 'nice' man in the Hodgson mold, he was hard and tough.

No more now, one doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as the other.

no it wont, it will be backing a thoroughly decent man who deserves our backing!!

[Fierce]

I'm sorry, because I agree that taking the piss out of OUR (well, soon to be our) manager because of a speech impediment is somewhat classless, this is gold:

Sorry

We may as well get the jokes over with anyway..we'll be hearing them all season from our rivals.

Ah but will we. Our 'rivals' fans, in my experience anyway, all ****ing love Roy. You should've seen my Facebook feed on the night they played Atletico in the UEFA Cup final. Mancs, Bitters, Spurs...loads of 'em, all declaring their fondness for Roy and wishing Fulham all the best.

But yeah, you're right. I suspect we're in for some revisionism.

Red g is one funny ****er

Just a bit me thinks.

I wont be vocally supporting Roy Hodgson or singing his name at all until he proves himself or atleast shows he's taking the team in the right direction.

He isnt a thoroughly decent man... Plus the Yanks are the reason for this situation and are putting in a Yes Man to carry on maximising their profits.

Any acceptance of this plays right into their hands...I will not support Woy until new owners are in place and the manager they get (it wont be the lisping charmer) will get my support.

This is a disgrace and you are falling for it..

Next when players are sold will you be giving Zamora your support?

If he's playing in a Liverpool shirt, yes I will.
