ESPNsoccernet can reveal that Roy Hodgson has a specific break clause in his Liverpool contract that allows the club to replace him if there is a change in ownership of the club.
Hodgson signed the contract in the summer knowing that his future would be immediately on the agenda, without or without the 'escape clause' loaded on Liverpool's side.
However, ESPNsoccernet also understands that a pay-off is part of the same clause and Hodgson would expect to be compensated in full.
However, it can also be disclosed that the prospective new owners from the States have so far given no indication whatsoever about the future of Hodgson and the three man delegation from the owners of the Boston Red Sox parent company have yet to meet the manager. So far, though, the earlier indicators are that Hodgson will not be replaced.
The subject of Hodgson's future has not been part of the negotiations between New England Sports Venture (NESV) and chairman Martin Broughton.
A Liverpool spokesman said: "There's a commitment to the manager. They are very happy that this manager is the right person to take the club forward."
The present board appointed Hodgson, so would give him time to prove himself, but the attitude of the new owners so far unknown. However, past experiences show that new owners give the incumbent manager some time to prove himself before contemplating a change. How long that would be would depend on the results in the next few games.
An insider told ESPNsoccernet: "The new owners haven't met the manager yet, they are sure to want to sit down with him, talk to him and see if they can work with him.
"But in all the discussions it has never been raised, the issue of perhaps replacing the manager, it certainly hasn't come up in conversation."
Hodgson has welcomed news of the planned sale of the club.
"It's very positive and of course I'm delighted,'' he said. "It's been going on a long time and I know how hard the board have worked to set things up.
"I know it's not easy for them because the owners have other ideas in terms of the sale of the club and what is achievable.
"But I was delighted to hear the news and have it confirmed that it looks like it is going to go through.''Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’Comment

90% of me wants Roy to go - i haven't been impressed with him going back to the City game
- i haven't been impressed with his lack of passion on the touchline(poor body language) you don't always need a ranter and raver but a bit of communicating with the players wouldn't go amiss ffs, he did plenty of it when he was with Fulham...the reality of being manager of LFC looks to have left him scared ****less.
- his pre and post match comments are just plain mental, you'd actually think he was on a wind up. - comparing us to Celtic, saying we played well when really we were ****e, the fans protesting against Hicks and Gilette hasn't done him any favours and all that ****e. wtf.
10% of me however would like to see him given a few more months, he's still a good manager and you don't become a bad one overnight and it's still very early day. A part of me wants to see if he can get us out of this mess.
Overall though if i was pushed to say yes or no on Hodgson leaving/getting sacked i'd defo say yes.
It's not nice seeing Roy struggle but it's becoming more and more difficult to have any faith him. I still think the players need to take alot more responsibilty for our poor performances/results.Comment

That was truly, truly abysmal. Almost so bad it comes right the way round to being nearly chortle worthy. Not quite though, so I hope you are thoroughly ashamed of yourself.Originally posted by Pablo1981 View PostSo you could say you're not quite ready to give him the elbow just yet!

21 - Roy Hodgson has won none of his last 21 Premier League away matches as a coach with Liverpool & Fulham. Agoraphobic.Are we winning?Comment

That is an appalling statistic.Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’Comment

Be interesting to see what his away record is like across his career. The way his teams set up doesn't seem to be conducive to winning away, which is why a club like LFC is a step too far for him IMO.Comment

At least with us he has been consistent, we are also **** at home.Originally posted by Shaggy View Post"The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind."
