Pack your bags Roy

[souliv]

But for an ex player I am sorry that is not good enough, surely someone in the management team has to say this is not acceptable

If that really is the case he needs to go when Roy goes

[Daniel 7]

Agreed.

Lets face it how many big clubs has Ian Dowie managed?? They probably only only back him because it gets them a few words in the press and shows unity at the LMA. As for roy he ain't for quitting

And Roy has dug his heels in, he seems to be pissed at fans too for not getting behind him like he shouldn't be blamed for anything thats gone wrong

He's chancing his arm and will wait for a nice pay off when he eventually does get sacked IMO. When he was appointed i never thought he was LFC calibre but at least i had some mild respect for the guy, as he seemed like a decent, honest, hard working type manager and i can respect that to a certain extent, even if i don't want it at my club. But talk about self imploding, after every catastrophe he seems to run to the press to try and explain his failings, as if LFC supporters will read it, and say "Ok, fair enough".

He underestimated the club, its fans and our expectations, and the tribute he gets as current LFC manager is ridicule, and deservedly so IMO.

Just read elsewhere and it's a good point....it's 10:07am in Boston at the moment. I was losing heart but the day's only just underway over there. Come on NESV, do the right thing

They aint sacking him anytime soon, dont get your hopes up mate.

If he is not sacked before the transfer window we could be saddled with him for some time

If Roy is still manager on Saturday I can see things getting very ugly really think the owners need to act now

Roll up, Roll up

Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson is happy to retain the support of the club and his players in the absence of any backing from the Reds fans.

Hodgson was the subject of fans' anger again in Wednesday night's 1-0 defeat at home to Premier League bottom side Wolves.

The 63-year-old had to endure the Kop singing the name of former player and manager Kenny Dalglish, a living legend at Anfield, and also ironic chants of "Hodgson for England".

Liverpool are now only three points above the relegation zone, where they spent a short spell earlier this season, and Hodgson knows it is likely to get worse before it gets better for him in terms of the situation with the fans.

Until it does, he accepts the criticism will continue to come his way.

"I have been lucky the support I have had has been from the players and within the club," he said.

"I haven't had a lot of support from the fans ever since I came here.

"The fans have not been happy with what they have seen in the whole of 2010 and since I came here we have not won enough games to keep them happy.

"That is understandable in the sense that they were hoping when I came here the latter part of last season would be forgotten and we would start flying again.

"That hasn't happened and as a result, as manager, you are the one in the firing line, but of course it doesn't make the job easier because it makes the players more nervous.

"I can only say as a manager you have to understand that fans care for their club and want it to do well and when it is not doing well they voice their disapproval.

"That is the way of football today. When you take on any job, especially a big job like this one, and results don't go the way people want - especially when you lose games at home - you are going to be a target for disapproval.

"I have to accept that and try to keep doing my job and try to improve things for the club and hoping that the results turn around.

"It is a vicious circle and in order to break it we have to start playing well and winning matches because if we don't they are going to reserve their support until such time as we can do it."

Despite the criticism coming his way, Hodgson is adamant he is the man to lead the club forward and suggested the players have to take some responsibility for the latest debacle.

Having had nearly three weeks without competitive action because of weather postponements the team could not complain about fatigue.

However, their lack of cohesion against Wolves could well have been down to that period of inactivity, although the Reds boss pointed out it was quality which was lacking.

"I think all bad results knock everyone's confidence but I think I can look [myself] in the mirror," said Hodgson.

"I am trying the best I can do and the group of players I put out there was probably the best XI, apart from Daniel Agger who has been injured long term.

"When I think about it had I chosen a different team which did not have a midfield of Dirk Kuyt, Lucas Leiva, Steven Gerrard and Raul Meireles, with Fernando Torres and David Ngog up front, I don't think things would have been different,

"I fear whatever team I chose the performance would have been the same and that showed when I made the three substitutions and it didn't alter the level of performance.

"I don't think there are many players happy with how they played. I put it down to it being a bad day for us."

Oh my god, the ****ing thick cunt STILL doesnt realise it's his cuntingly **** tactics. HE STILL DOESNT REALISE IT!!!

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF ROY YOU CUNT

He's quite clever is Roy. He's mates with the right people and you vmcsn be sure when he's sacked that it was too soon and that he deserved time. It will be talk of Rafas mess, lazy players and lack of support from fans whose expectations are far too high for their own good.

Furthermore, god help the next manager who comes in. The whole of the LMA and fleet street will be doing their upmost to see him fail so they can all chime "told you so" together in unison.

There will never be a perfect time to sack him and it will never go easy.
