Still no sign of Roy being given the boot any time soon.

I still think he'll be here until the end of the season.

You think so? I disagree.

**** this football lark for another night. Godfather II just starting on Film4 now

[Rudo]

You think so? I disagree.

No official confirmation of anything happening.

And Roy has said he's spoke to the Owners after the Wolved defeat and they're still supporting him.

[Glenn Hysen]

Surely the answer is shoot Roy then use the but of the gun to take pleasure in slowly beating Fergie to death

I dunno to be honest mate, these quotes don't exactly sound like someone who's feeling ssfe and secure in his position

"I spoke to the owners and they wished me good luck and sympathised with the frustration I must have been feeling after Wednesday night," he said.

Asked whether he felt he had the owners' support Hodgson added: "I guess so.

No he hasnt. He said he spoke to them and they sympathise with his frustration after the Wolves game. Doesnt mean they are supporting him.

And of course you wont hear 'official confirmation' yet. What do you expect? Do you expect things to be done in front of the cameras?

[Neil Young]

I think the bloke in the bottom left corner has just had an idea.

[malg]

Just try a bit more thinking and I'm sure it'll come to you eventually

Ermmmmmm nar won't bother thinking about anything you said not worth it really.

FSG hastens the hunt for new manager

Prospect of Kenny Dalglish returning to dugout as temporary manager remains as owners seek change sooner rather than later

The desire of Fenway Sports Group (FSG) to bring Roy Hodgson’s reign as Liverpool manager to an end as soon as a replacement can be found has not been diminished by the 2-1 win at home to Bolton Wanderers on Saturday.

FSG has determined to remove Hodgson at the earliest possible opportunity and such is its desire to arrest a decline in which Liverpool have been unable to escape mid-table mediocrity for much of this season that it is willing to consider installing a temporary manager until the end of the campaign.

That throws up the possibility of Kenny Dalglish making an emotional return to the Anfield hot seat, but it is understood that the 59-year-old has not been approached with a view to taking over from Hodgson. Dalglish, though, remains a hugely popular figure with the Liverpool fans.

Unconfirmed reports emanating from Germany over the past 24 hours suggest that FSG has made tentative inquiries into the availability of Jürgen Klopp, the Borussia Dortmund coach who is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most promising as a result of his record with the Bundesliga leaders. Klopp is said to be happy in Dortmund, however.

Ralf Rangnick, who quit Hoffenheim at the weekend after a dispute with the German club’s board over the sale of Luiz Gustavo, the Brazilian midfield player, to Bayern Munich, is an intriguing potential candidate and the timing of his availability could push him to the forefront of replacements for Hodgson.

Rangnick is admired by Damien Comolli, the Liverpool director of football strategy, and his innovative methods have long since marked him out as a likely contender for a top job.

In the meantime, Hodgson is left in limbo in the knowledge that Liverpool’s owners are already considering the relative merits of his potential successors, but he refuses to allow speculation over his future to diminish his desire to bring about an upturn in fortunes. “It’s not about me,” Hodgson said. “The focus in recent days has been on me and my position. Look, I’m very pleased to have this job. Everyone wants to work at Liverpool Football Club and I’m honoured they chose me.

“I know I will do my level best to get the team to produce what this club should be doing, but it’s not about me, it’s about the club. I take the speculation seriously, of course, but I have to accept that if results are not going so well, then it will happen.

“I’ve accepted the plaudits over the past 2½ years when I was honoured as manager of the year, so I have to accept the speculation, too.”
