Welcome to LFC Roy Hodgson (Officially Confirmed)

[TheElephantMan]

Doesn't matter what it says in the paper. Until either LFC or Fulham make an announcement he is still the manager of Fulham football club

Of course it does. Hodgson is Liverpool's manager, get used to it!

Given this isn't official how on earth did this become an 8 page thread. Am I missing something? Is this 100% done?

According to a thread on the fulham forum, it hasn't been announced as somebody has;

a) nicked Roys car
b) nicked the wheels from his car
c) stolen the pen so he can't sign the contract
d) can't afford to pay his first weeks wages as we're skint
e) Roy is trying to negoiate a better pad than the 1bed flat in toxeth.

Oh the humour. Saying that I did have my car door crow barred open in Childwall.

about six games at Anfield a year and a few in London, I live in Surrey so its hard to get tickets CraigH hooked me up with the last ones on the Kop against Fulham..oh the irony.......my first match was in 1969 with my dad against Southampton at Anfield..

Not with any groups..

Well, if nothing else I can probably help you on your earlier Shaggy related request!

I get to around the same amount of home games per year, though struggle away. I don't think I'll be going to any games this season, and won't be buying any merchandise either; which I suppose is tantamount to not supporting the team. I just think your vitriol (towards the manager) is a little misguided that's all






I'll be honest. I've forgotten what my point was

Lol actually as a matter of fact he is the fulham manager. The liverpool echo is just a newspaper. They don't have anything to do with the signing of contracts at liverpool

[Shaggy]

He'll be paraded tomorrow, surely. If tomorrow passes and nothing happens, then I'll start to get hopeful.

[joyno]

According to dailymail it is 2-year contract.

brilliant that means in two years the yanks might be gone.

gone are the days of us being a big club i`ll still be there but never have I gone into a season with such an despondent attitude this place sums up the feeling of most of our support good luck roy dead man walking at least he`s not naive enough to know what he`s getting into

[-V-]

I guess Johnson, Carra and Gerrard returned to Liverpool today so he's probably been meeting them guys today. So maybe he met them and realised the jobs too big for him. He's bottled it hasn't he?

hehe

You do make me laugh In most scenarios, not having a manager is a worry, especially in the close season with the window open and transfer business being done by everyone else. But such is our situation, NOT appointing a manager and remaining without one for longer, is something we're hoping for Just about sums it up.

"I'll start to get hopeful" Loving your work, as always

Surely they will have an extended period of time off and wont be back for preseason training for another week or two?

[Rafa_el_Gafa]

If he has any sense he will do the following:

- Speak to Gerrard ASAP and get him to stay.

- Cash in on Masher for the highest price possible.

- sell Nick the Greek

- sell Babel

- Keep Lucas as a squad player

- Use Insua sparingly this season

- Sign a left back

- Sign Hangeland (we need someone who will win things in the air)

- Sell Aquilani

- Sign Joe Cole

- Get Dalglish more involved.

After their showing in South Africa, they thoroughly deserve it.

[Craig_H]

Why would he sell Kyrgiakos? He's a useful solid player to have AND he wouldnt even fetch any real fee. What's the point of selling him?

I don't mean back at training. I know they aren't back to training until the end of July.

I mean they have returned to the city of Liverpool So obviously the incoming manager will have had a formal meeting with club captain and vice captain
