Pack your bags Roy

[Daniel 7]

From what I remember, O'Neill wasn't exactly complementary about Kenny's time at Celtic (when he was Barnes's boss) - he was quite vocal about it.

This transfer window will be interesting. Either it's Comolli who calls the shots or Roy. If the owners are smart and inclined to veer on the side of caution, it might well piss off the squirrel. : prays:

[red g]

When the new yanks came in they may have thought decent manager (LMA winner no less!!!)

they then saw his transfer dealings
Konchesky - Massive flop, ROI zero
Poulsen - Massive flop, ROI zero
Brad Jones - Massive flop, ROI zero
Merieles - Good buy, ROI not a lot.

so Comolli in, Hodgson choices out.

Now lets face it results are **** so pretty sure Comolli chooses the players until a new manager with a brain cell comes in

[Leyton388]

Surely the will not allow the Dodge to sign any of his choices in the window. f e do we will be stuck with Carlton Cole, scott parker and clint ****ing Dempsey. Shanks still has more life in him than the dodge.

Roy not worried about Reds job

Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson maintains that he does not have any worries over his future at the club and will carry on striving to turn things around.

The 63-year-old is under increasing pressure to deliver better results as his side languish in mid-table and are suffering from a woeful away record.

The Reds, who were in the relegation zone earlier this season, have won just one and have lost six away from Anfield despite their home form picking up.

New owner John Henry described the results as "unacceptable" in a fan phone-in on LFCTV, which has been seen as a thinly-veiled threat to Hodgson.

The former Fulham boss has bemoaned his team's lack of consistency and poor performances, and was in agreement that things needed to improve following their 3-1 defeat to Newcastle on Saturday.

However, he took a hard stance over questions about his job security, stating that he had no worries that New England Sports Ventures would keep faith in him.

"I don't have any fears, worries or concerns," he said.

"But if you put it to me 'You feel there is no chance whatsoever of you getting sacked' then I would be in a minority of one in that respect.

"It happened to Chris Hughton, it happened to Sam Allardyce, Martin O'Neill resigned - we are all in that situation.

"But as someone who prides himself as a professional, who knows his job and is comfortable with doing his job, then you would excuse me for not going down the route you want me to go down in terms of 'Who can we get rid of next?'.

"Because, basically speaking, unless there is a major inflow of cash into the club and the team is going to be changed from one moment to the next then whoever takes my place will be doing a similar job with similar players.

"The owners have made it perfectly clear they are in it for the long term and they are going to be patient; they realise it is going to take time.

"They realise we can't turn things around overnight and they also realise that the team I am working with is not the team I put together.

Magnitude
"You don't turn things around overnight and they are aware of the magnitude of the task but they are very focused on what needs to be done and I am convinced they will help me get it done."

Hodgson was speaking at a press conference ahead of what will be an ultimately meaningless visit of Utrecht in the Europa League due to his team having already qualifying for the next stage.

However, he became increasingly frustrated with the line of questioning about his job, and whilst accepting it was a part of the game, conceded that there was not much else he could say about the matter.

"Once again I come here to do a European press conference, playing Utrecht when we are top of the table, and I find myself answering questions about owners and whether I am safe - it is a sad situation," he added.

"I came here to do a European press conference, which I am forced to do for UEFA, when really and truly I am doing a phone-in with you

"That is the nature of the game, it seems to be the major preoccupation of the mass media because they want to see change.

"It doesn't bother me because I can't do more than I am doing, I can't work harder, I can't work better.

"I have great confidence in my ability, I don't think there is any reason not to have.

"I know the players are working as hard as they can to win matches for Liverpool and therefore me as manager.

"But if you have situations like last night when you have phone-ins to the owners you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know how that is going to go because we are not top of the league.

"Had we been top of the league it might have been different but we are not, we are ninth and we are Liverpool Football Club.

"You don't have to be Albert Einstein to work out more people will be unhappy with that than are happy with it."

Course he aint worried - that's why he's wheeling out Pepe and Nando for a meaningless game tomorrow night. That's how 'not worried' he is...

[Assassin]

Here is another quote from the deluded demented dumb ****


'I don't have any fears, worries or concerns,' he said. 'But if you put it to me "You feel there is no chance whatsoever of you getting sacked" then I would be in a minority of one in that respect.

[Craig_H]

So he knows that everyone else thinks he's getting the boot then...

And what's all this **** about "Well, if you asked me...." and 'But if you put it to me...." bollocks??? Just give a straight answer, you ****wit. Or better still, just shut up.

[Mostar]

Course he aint worried - that's why he's wheeling out Pepe and Nando for a meaningless game tomorrow night. That's how 'not worried' he is...

Absolutely.

He's ****ting his pants as he should.

I think he is at breaking point.

To me everything he said in the interview points that he is extremely worried and concerned.

[Assassin]

If I was Henry or Werner. I would sack immediately if I read that quote. He is an incompetent imbecile who believes he is god's gift to football.

Look at the apathy in the squad, the body language of the players speaks volumes

[pezzzer]

i hate wanting us to loose as it goes against the grain but its the only way to get woy sacked

[QUOTE=Assassin;1813843]Look at the apathy in the squad, the body language of the players speaks volumes

Yep, no direct engagement or eye contact, bodies turned away. They must hate him as well.

I just can't believe that Henry and Werner can ever believe that this person will ever have any sort of positive relationship with the fans. This has been a cornerstone of every successful Liverpool managers tenure and is part of what makes Liverpool special. Even if we had a caretaker it would improve the atmosphere and no doubt performances because we would see an end to the dreadful football of Bodger and that a decent appointment was definitely coming. The idea of him being allowed to create "his team" is unacceptable and would probably drive fans away in droves.
