Burnely (10th in Championship) and Preston (5 points above relegation in Championship) have both sacked their managers tonight, not saying it's right and there is probably a big difference in compo payments but jeez at least they know the respective managers are taking them nowhere.

Roy Hodgson laments lack of 'famous support' at Liverpool• Roy Hodgson unhappy with fans after latest Liverpool loss
• Anfield crowd chants for Kenny Dalglish and Rafael Benítez

After conceding that Liverpool had produced the worst performance of his six sometimes tortured months as manager, Roy Hodgson argued that he had yet to see "the famous Anfield support".

Sections of the stadium called for Hodgson's dismissal after last night's 1-0 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers that left the club three points off a relegation place. There were chants for Kenny Dalglish, who had put himself up as a candidate to replace Rafael Benítez in the summer, and ironic ones of "Hodgson for England".

"Ever since I came here the famous Anfield support hasn't really been there," Hodgson said after a game that ensured Liverpool's worst start to the season since they were relegated in 1953-54.

"There was the problem with the former owners [Tom Hicks and George Gillett] and there was the fact that Kenny was so popular, but the job went to me. I have had to live with that. I have to hope the fans will become supporters because we need support. We are not deliberately losing games. You have seen these players before but they are not playing like they have in the past, so I think it is time for the fans to really help as well.

"It is not for lack of trying that we are not winning matches. Maybe we are lacking quality and confidence, but the negativity doesn't help. The players are not getting on the ball."

Hodgson thought this defeat was Liverpool's worst of the season, worse than the humiliations at the hands of Northampton and Blackpool that had been previous nadirs of his brief reign. "We were hoping for a great performance where we came flying around the pitch and we did the exact opposite," he said. "It was as bad a team performance as we have given. We just didn't have the intensity or tempo in our game to deserve more than we got.

"It was a sad way to end 2010 and a sad way to play the first game for a few weeks in front of our own supporters, when we were anxious to show them we could climb the table."

The chants for Dalglish, who put himself forward to succeed Benítez because he was dismayed by the quality of the shortlist, have dogged Hodgson throughout his time. "I don't like hearing those things. I am trying to do the best job I can and I am working hard. So it is not something I appreciate. But it is not something I can control.

"It's the Kop's way of showing they are not happy with the way the team is playing. As manager, you have to accept responsibility for that. We did have a good spell a while back but it seems a far and distant memory now."

MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!!

In fairness at least Roy is getting the best out of the players available to him and has steadied the ship.

Sack Rafa. Long live king Roy. God bless Nesv

[DannyMan2006]

Sack the Kop

[DannyMan2006]

I was always told that support and respect has to be earned, it should not be expected. Roy obviously feels differently.

No, they have a history of success at Boston - the shenanigans going on currently i believe won't have been missed.

Comolli will be their eyes and ears on the footballing side,they are looking for a CEO for the business side.

One of the first things they did at Boston was change the management and scouting, the Scouting is changing (with Comolli), managemnt next?

We need to give them time, we've been in a rot for so long it won't be a quick fix.

Yeah and Bodgson had a history of success in Scandanavia. Means **** all here.

[pondus]

He's still here?!?

FFS!

[JohnDoe]

I actually fell asleep during the first half and woke up a few minutes ago. If you asked me a year ago if I would be capable of doing that I'd have laughed at your face. Sums up Liverpool under Roy.

[Fernandinho]

This is the first time I have come back to the PC from being away and expected him to have the sack. FFS come on John!

I'm expecting him to be sacked this week. I'll be surprised, pissed off and lose any faith in nesv if he's not gone before the transfer window.
It's unacceptable his performance and attitude, anyone else doing this poorly in their job would be gone.
I hope nesv have the balls to sack him now and wait for ........................... I don't know? A ****ing miracle
