No Gray Areas - Liverpool should keep Roy

In each Liverpool game there is a lot at stake at present. The fans will be up for their FA Cup tie with Manchester United but Premier League results are ultimately what will count for Roy Hodgson this season.

Joe Cole's late winner against Bolton was important for the Reds and could have given them renewed confidence. Nevertheless, the manager is under immense pressure despite only being four months into the job.

There's a lot more wrong with Liverpool than what is happening on the pitch. By the end of Rafael Benitez's reign they were practically a Spanish-speaking club with plenty of Spaniards in influential positions which made communication difficult.

Roy Hodgson's main problem is that he was not appointed by the current owners of the club. It's the same problem that Mark Hughes faced at Manchester City and Sam Allardyce at Blackburn. As witnessed with those two, it can prove fatal.

The American owners would probably prefer to install their own manager. They will want their man in charge and they won't care too much about the club's admirable tradition of not sacking managers too hastily.

It's well documented that Premier League owners can be quick to pull the trigger on managers these days but clubs need continuity, especially one with such proud heritage as Liverpool.

The owners should back the manager and let the team play their way out of trouble. Whichever way you look at it, Roy Hodgson needs his team to start winning soon.

Erm, no it isn't.

[Reece]

Are you suggesting Hodgson has 127 hours before he's sacked?

Absolutely no idea.

Exactly for whom is this drivel written for, all they do is anger supporters of the game. Why? Surely there has to be a limit it how far they can go? They jsut can't all be that stupid, it's practically impossible!

Eh No, Roy Hodgson's main problem is that is way way way out of his depth as LFC manager, and we have not progressed whatsoever since his time here. Pathetic statements from these guys, it makes no sense what they are saying. Jobs for the boys is all it is.

[The_weatherman]

Erm, no it isn't.

Exactly the owners are trying their hardest not to sack the ****er but he just keeps ****ing everything up. I kind of feel sorry for everyone involved but this has to stop.

John Henry wanna get the **** up out of bed and sort some **** out!! Its chaos over this side of the water. If Roy isn't sacked by the end of the day i'll have serious doubts about NESV. There's biding your time and trying not to be rash, and there's just plain stupidity.

[Kenneth]

If Kenny is unavailable, surely Purslow could act as caretaker. He's already made his signings and knows his stuff.

I don't get, the sit back and relax approach NESV have been taking especailly recently. Do they not know that us losing and dropping down the league, is not a good thing productively or financially?

They seem to be prepared to wait to the detriment of the club, on the basis that they don't want to make a rash decision.

They seem to be on course to fail their first big test tbh, if it's about the game on sunday, well screw that, sack Roy let Sammy manage the team past sunday and give it to someone else.

[CJ]

That passes for analysis.

i think you will find it doesnt

[Lecter]

They have clearly been learning tactics from Roy
