Pack your bags Roy

[DannyMan2006]

His days are numbered, it's just a question of how many days...it needs to happen pretty much now.

With a home game against West Ham and the attention on the internationals, today would have been a good time to sack him. Doesn't give the new guy much time to prepare, but with it being the hammers we'd likely get away with it.

I dont think hes coming back myself

That ship has well and truely sailed

cheers mate.

You see my feeling is exactly the opposite

With virtually no first team players here any new manager would be scratching his arse for a week

[DannyMan2006]

Short of saying 'they want the ideal candidate' which is obvious, how do you know they dont want a caretaker manager in the interim?



I've been banging the drum for Kenny as temporary manager, and i still havent seen or heard a valid reason why this wouldnt be better for us than keeping Bodgson.

Surely, if they were open to the idea of Kenny as caretaker, they'd have done it by now?

I am not sure we would have anyone immediate lined up whenever we sack him unless we got one person in mind. most sackings have a couple of weeks before new man in.

yes and we dont want another Roy Hodgson !!!

I wasnt suggesting that they are open to the idea. It seems they're probably not. And that is the problem.

Agreed, but leave it longer and Roy wins against West Ham, and he gets a stay of execution until he ****s up again.

I reckon me and my mates could beat West Ham, so whilst there would be a lack of preperation, we would probably still sneak through. And with midweek games coming thick and fast, there probably isn't going to be an ideal time.

Because they would have sacked Hodgson straight away. I don't think NESV didn't do their homework on us or the Premier League or football in general well ahead of them buying us. They probably had a very clear idea of what was needed to achieve success. I don't think they'd take the risk of investing £300m without knowing exactly what to do.

Besides, I don't think Kenny as caretaker would solve our problems. He would probably give us a massive lift in terms of confidence, but he isn't the answer long term and doesn't fit in the criteria that NESV want.

[Fernandinho]

Mate they might be new to the sport, but so's Fernandinho, and even he can see Roy should go. That says all you need to know for me

I hope you are kidding I might be new to LFC but I have lived and breathed football since I was born.

I'd rather the new man came straight in tbh. But if it's a choice of Roy for two more weeks or Albert Steptoe as caretaker I'd take the latter everytime.

People again seem to look at NESV as though they came into this all knowing

They knew sod all about the game

Lets face it results have been up and down over the period of their tenure

**** result against Everton followed by 4 or 5 wins then now back to ****e results in the last 2 matches

They've appointed Comolli and this has emasculated Hodgson

We've seen Hodgson publicly apologise to Rafa no doubt at the behest of NESV (this was probably strike 2)

I think hes walking on a tightrope and they are probably hoping he falls of his own accord before they are forced to push him but I think we are fast approaching the time when they will hold their hands up and say enough is enough

Me and my mates could probably beat Northampton & Blackpool but....

I'm not worried about Roy in the slightest

Hes playing a solo game of Russian Roulette

[DannyMan2006]

There is more chance of me winning the lotto than there is of Roy walking without a pay out. He said so as much today. He wouldn't kick up a fuss if he's replaced, but he'll not be quitting.

[Fernandinho]

Doesn't that mean he gets 6 strikes?


edit:5 strikes then 1 bullet
