Pack your bags Roy

[Lecter]

hypothetical:

If Liverpool go on a run and win the next five games on the bounce, should he still go?

Yes

[Leyton388]

Hodgson can still **** off the old ****.

[little dave hedgehog]

he's proved that he's a jerk. and whoever said so is right, it would be an absolute disaster to give him a cent, possibly even worse to let him sell anyone.

[kemm1]

I'm not a big fan of knee jerk reactions but I really do feel Roy needs to go even with a 5 out of 5 streak.

Essentially I don't see him being able to take us to where we should be, I really don't, I also want someone in long term, he's 63 (I think) and clearly is was a short term appointment from the previous board Purslow, Broughton et al with a good severence payment if new owners came in and decided they wanted their own man - we need long term stability and someone with the ability to build a team/squad for the long term, nothing in Roys past has shown me that he is capable of doing this - he's always been a short term solution.

[Neil Young]

It doesn't matter - we're not going to win five out of five anyway.

He would also have to call Fergie a cunt and kick him in the balls

Yes

If we manage to beat;

Bolton at Home
Napoli at Home
Chelsea at Home
Wigan Away and Stoke away

then why would we still be looking to boot him out??

If we get a win from all of those games with the resources before Jan,
then he should stay of course..

Highly unlikely.... but.

He shouldn't be trusted with enough money to get a bar of chocolate from a vending machine let alone how ever much we have to spend in the transfer market.

I couldn't care less if he went on a 10 game winning streak, he is not good enough to be manager of LFC. His comments in the press, the bigging up of teams that we should be beating and his prehistoric tactics should be no where near this club. This guy is on par with Souness.

If he did go on that "10 game unbeaten run" then he would be good enough for LFC..

[RichC]

If he did go on that "10 game unbeaten run" then he would be good enough for LFC..

but he's still a short term solution, we need someone that's going to be able to build for the long term growth and future of this club - Roy is not that man.

If he did a 10 game streak, brilliant but I'd still believe it would be best to hand over to someone for the long term.

[Leyton388]

A few wins and a few half decent performances don't cover the fact Roy is arrogent self centred idiot.

[5europeancups]

If he somehow manages to work miracles and stay and if he learns to speak in the manner that befits a Liverpool manager and IF our play improves to the extent we are able to roll over opposition in a manner that a club with high quality players should then I would change my opinion. He also needs to publicly execute both Poulson and Konchesky and I don't trust him with money.

So there you have it. The acid test will be Chelsea, both in the manner he approaches it (i.e. none of this "they are a great club and will provide an astwinomcal challenge" horse****) and how we set up on the pitch. I'm not going to go all out and say the guy should be sacked if we are performing well just out of spite.

Still, Roy Hodgson is not the long term answer for Liverpool and I think the owners must realise that. You can't build a legacy with someone at the helm who only has a couple of years shelf life. That's the issue for me.

I agree. I think Hodgson was taken on knowing full well that new owners were likely to want to change the manager, and for this reason I beleive is why Dalglish was not given the job, as it would be considerably easier to get rid of Hodgson than a Liverpool legend.

I think that at 63, that Roy is not seen as a longterm solution by anyone butrather a practical solution during a transitional phase, a guy with experience to steer the ship through troubled waters.

Unfortunately, the waters have been alot more troubled than anyone could anticipate. I think Roy will be gone by Christmas even with the 5 wins as the club want to put somone more longterm in place before they start spending money.

If he did go on that "10 game unbeaten run" then he would be good enough for LFC..

But he wont and he's not so its a fuking moot point.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out Roy.

[DKdan]

A new manager for today's game would have been ideal. An injury ravaged Blackburn was always likely to produce a win. A new manager now would have a tough trip to Bolton followed by a very tough game with Chelsea. Not ideal.

Which is why I think they wont install a new manager until after the Chelsea game - to give him an easier start...

[Shanks]

But he wont and he's not so its a fuking moot point.

but he might and could and if he doesn't, then your replacement is??
