Welcome to LFC Roy Hodgson (Officially Confirmed)

[Fosterbloke]

I'd call Help The Aged if Woy said that

As for the fans not accepting half rate journeymen, well it looks like the board are already asking us to do that

So people are upset that we will become a mid table club but if an experienced manager with top class players at his disposal has ambitions for the title then we dismiss him?

What bollocks. How do you think Fulham would have fared if they had some of our top players like Torres, Gerrard or Mascherano?

The same as we did probably. Torres hardly played, stevie didn't look like he gave a stuff and mascher was the only 1 of the 3 that played to his potential

[Shaggy]

That must be a joke. Kill me now.

Those potential signings are a joke.

Why don't you assume that they weren't injured.

Unless you expect them to be injured as much this season too.

[Helios Creed]

he has a very strange accent, almost foreign - the only other person I've ever heard who sounds like that is Joe Strummer, which can't be bad.

He spoke a lot of sense on the WC coverage.

I'm very much undecided about this appointment.

I answered your question. How would Fulham have gone if they had the three players last year. isn't that what you meant? Or do you mean if they had them this season?

Some sources say he's got green light from players....

[Helios Creed]

Would that be Wayne Brown the infamous BNP voter?

And Spud the foreign player hater.

I hope that's right. It could be spin and only time will tell. Time will tell !

[BobTheCharmer]

I'm really looking forward to the new season. I can't wait to see what players we'll have lining up for the first match. I hope it won't be another let down but I've convinced myself it'll be a great season.

Roy talks like Corbett out of Step Toe and Son.

Roy Hodgson has been appointed the new manager of Liverpool FC.

The 62-year-old former Fulham, Inter Milan and Switzerland manager has agreed terms with the club on a three-year contract and becomes the 18th manager in our history.

He will be unveiled to the world's media this afternoon after overseeing the first day of pre-season training at Melwood.

Hodgson joins us from Fulham, where he guided the Cottagers to the Europa League final in May and was voted Manager of the Year by the League Managers' Association.

He exclusively told Liverpoolfc.tv: "This is the biggest job in club football and I'm honoured to be taking on the role of manager of Britain's most successful football club. I look forward to meeting the players and the supporters and getting down to work at Melwood."

And Spud the foreign player hater.

Fulham midfielder Danny Murphy has backed Roy Hodgson as the right man to transform Liverpool's fortunes.

Hodgson is imminently expected to be confirmed as Rafa Benitez's successor at Anfield.

Former Blackburn and Inter Milan chief Hodgson faces a stiff task following a disappointing season last term and one of his first jobs will be to persuade the club's top stars to stay on Merseyside.

Murphy, who is being linked with a move back to Liverpool along with Hodgson, is a big admirer of the 62-year-old's management style and feels he is the right fit for the Reds.

"Liverpool need someone who has an understanding of the history and heritage that lies behind the club and what it means in the context of English football," Murphy told the Daily Mirror.

"People spoke about Mourinho, but I personally didn't see him as an ideal fit with Liverpool, because right now, they need someone who has an empathy for the club.

"I admire Roy Hodgson. He has a philosophy of playing good football which will fit well at Liverpool, and he gives players responsibility and a platform to work from

"Maybe it is time Liverpool had an English manager who knows about the club
