Welcome to LFC Roy Hodgson (Officially Confirmed)

[The Birdman]

I'm perfectly happy with his appointment, I think he is the right man at this particular time and not to be understated is the majority of the media like hime which means we won't see the witch hunt like against Rafa.
While I admired Rafa for not 'playing the game' with the press he paid the price for it in the end because everyone was happy to print Purslow's 'leaks' against him.

I want to read about the sale and about us (hopefully) winning games of football, nothing else.

He is here now So welcome Roy and i hope you do a grand job for us.

Thanks guys

Just heard from the National hospital in Queens Sq London, admission delayed until tonight, so more time to be admonished by you kind folk, thanks for the kind words, I gave up my career to look after dad after mum died, Im more or less retired now and emmigrating to Mexico asap.

I suppose my harsh views on Woy is that after so long in the game he has achieved nothing apart from this dream job.

My issues are the yank ****s have forced this on us, I wanted one more year for Rafa as it meant so much to him and he took such pride in building the club from the youth upwards, he deserved another season imho.

The protest whilst sounding anti Woy is really anti owner/management who have sacked Rafa and brought Mr Nobody in whilst increasing the debt and no doubt milking extra interest from their holding co.

Im sure Woy is a nice chap and did well in the 80's in Scandiland but he is not the man to replace Rafa again imho.

No ambition begs the future, why replace a great manager with the winner of the Danish supercup albeit 15 years ago?

I may have been a bit aggressive because of a bit of family worry sorry again

mate I don't think they'd be anyone on here that doesn't wish your dad well, me included.

But the bit I've bolded is where I can't agree with you, yesterday it was Hodgkinson Disease and old cunt amongst many others. You made it personal against Roy and have persisted all day.




Ps, What makes you think the people of Mexico want you?

Good man.

Strange thing is this afternoon I've been hit with a case of the 'doubts'. ****ing hell after berating everyone else I got cold feet. I'm sure when I get home and watch the press conference I'll be feeling confident again.

Well i had the doubts for a few weeks which you can tell by my posts on here but he is here now and his interview is quite good. I am now starting to think he is what we need and i will back him.


Also i found it hard to get over Rafa going!

where do I start? Not knowing you personally I'm obviously basing this purely on your internet persona of the last 8 years or whatever it is since our paths first crossed.

Conclusion: A ******. I'm sure the feeling is mutual.

What did I say Roy?

right you outside.......

dont masturbate nearly enough lately........

I dont think youre a ****** Hernandez or whatever you call yourself Bob....
I just dont think about you..

I am more confident with roy in charge than i would be with rafa going into the new season.

to many doubts would have persisted from last season and the players silence have told me everything i need to know.

Maybe if Roy can put a smile back on everyones face and give the players a bit of freedom and let the shackles off .....who knows what we can achieve.

This team bar 1 or 2 players only lost 4 times in 2 seasons........we have added a couple, som yoof might come through this year as well.

We have aquiliani fit.....maybe! we have a new striker and also pretty sure 25m from the masher sale, IF and its a big IF we can spend 30-40m on this team from player sales and transfer budget why cant we challenge the top 4 and who knows......maybe better

I would say turning fulham into uefa cup finalists and a 7th place from relegation fodder is an amazing job and we are not as bad as last season and have every bit of faith that Roy can lift us up a notch or two from last season i dont think it will be that hard

[Shaggy]

Yeah I'm feeling a bit more positive about it. I'm not expecting anything so if he merely does okay I'll be delighted and impressed. Good luck to him, he seems a great bloke.

[Craig_H]

Gotta look at the positives, mainly because there are some.

Hodgson's proven that he is able to get players playing at their best, over a consistent period. If he can do the same with OUR players, we'll do alright. Furthermore, if the stories about our players losing faith with rafa were true (and in fairness, their performances suggested as much), then i will look forward to seeing the lazy arse cunts coming out of their shells and actually showing some desire and passion again. If this happens, and the players want it enough, there's currently more than enough talent in that squad to give us a decent season.

Exactly the same as me mate. Not expecting success, so cant really be disappointed, only pleasantly surprised.
