Welcome to LFC Roy Hodgson (Officially Confirmed)

[Vermilion]

hard to argue.

well we didnt want parry fc.....we wanted a man of action and prslow is certainly that.

Eh, he was only here to secure investment...not much action there....now all of a sudden he's a football guru, picking the next manager of liverpool fc, against the advice of one of the few men left who really does have liverpools best interest at heart, and the football man they wanted advice from on the subject in the first place, Dalglish.

This is typical liverpool FC at board level these days, and i see no sign of it changing any time soon.

Not great reading is it.

It's a lot ****ing better than anyone on this forum who think they know the future.

I again draw your attention to the comments directed at what a crap purchase Torres would be. Made planks of a few people that did.

Roy is hugely experienced, tactically sound and a good man manager. He's not Marcello Lippi for sure but then the most glamourous names aren't always the best fit.

What was Shankly's managerial career like before Liverpool?

Sacking Kenny the legend, even those Yank gob****es realise the PR disaster that would bring so your arguement is flawed...

You think running the club into millions of pounds of debt, ****ing off a respected manager and abusing fans is good PR?

Sir, I believe it is *your* argument that is flawed.

Nope, after decades and decades in the game, non stop managing, he's won nothing of note, at all.

Lets not try and convince ourselves we've just hired the next big thing, the board have put in the safe choice for what THEY want to achieve, till they bugger off with their profits.

Thats what debating is all about

so you are happy that the club is growing its debts by compensating people because of poor decisions and slapping that debt onto the club at 10%+ whilst lining their pockets is acceptable.

Sacking Kenny would have been a step too far in PR terms the other things you mention are 'perceived manageable' PR by the ******s

Thank you

Anyone know what time the press conference is going to be? If it is going to be?

Give the guy a break, it's not the appointment most of us wanted but if he's getting grief from day one then he's got no chance.

Octopus says "mediocre"

[elrichio86]

Kenny would have stood up to the owners...Woy wont...

I've asked this before I dont think anybody's really come up with an answer - where has the bit in bold come from?

I appreciate that any manager taking the job would have limitations placed on them, but you and others seem to be suggesting that Hodgson will just let the Yanks sell half the squad from under him. I seriously doubt if ANY manager would take the job under those conditions.

Besides, standing up to the owners gets you the sack, just ask Rafa

Precisely.
