Liverpool FC fans pleading with Fenway Sports Group to dismiss Roy Hodgson after latest abject Reds defeat
Jan 6 2011


Hodgson Out grafitti

LIVERPOOL fans have been venting their fury at Roy Hodgson and urging club owners Fenway Sports Group to sack the Reds boss after last night's defeat at Blackburn - 'Hodgson out' grafitti was found scrawled on the walls of the club's Melwood training ground this morning.

Here's a selection of what fans have been saying - log in below and have your say

auldrob

It says a lot about our manager that a rookie with a handful of games in the Premiership, deprived of eight first choice players, can outwit our safe pair of hand with all his 36 years of experience.

redbaz

NESV our patience is running out..act today or YOU will start to have the supporters against you. Your apathy to our plight is nothing short of dereliction of duty. If you claim to want the best for your investment SACK THIS CLOWN.

Also, get shut of some of the players who clearly are not good enough to wear the shirt.

muny

If you have any dignity left, resign now!! Or are you planning to slump us to the bottom 3 then resign

milo

If you continue with these awful tactics with no game plan expect to see attendances fall even further.

If you want to raise everyone's spirits for Sunday then just leave now!!!

lfc heaven

For the Life of me cannot Understand why NESV/FSG have not got shot of this inept Man..

He never was, never is and and Never will be an LFC Manager..

How many times do we need to repeat the same thing?

Seems the owners prefer we played in the Championship than appoint Kenny.. if this is their biggest fear then we are gonna be done for


johng

A lot of fans are forgetting that Hodgson won't resign because,like Benitez before him, he doesn't want to miss out on his big pay out for being a failure. The only answer is for him to be sacked and the only people who can do it are the owners. I just hope they do it soon.

britishstandards

This saturday a group of local semi professional players, willing to play for free,will be taking on the holders of the FA Vase.A quest to reach a first Wembley cup final.

These players show more passion,determination,pride and honour in one football stud than sadly most of the entire current Liverpool first team.

Players playing for the shirt,for the supporters and for our city.

neily

Roy seems like a Gent. I hope he'll do the decent thing now and leave.

It's not worked out. The players might be trying to support him, but once the fans have turned...

I hope he agrees to go by the weenend and I hope Kenny says yes at least until the end of the season.

Liverpool fans tell Roy Hodgson to 'leave us with some dignity'
Roy Hodgson has made very few friends at Anfield since taking over in the summer of 2010. Judging by Liverpool fan's apoplectic rage online this morning his approval rating is at an all-time low.

"I am tired of hearing media pundits and former managers providing their backing to Roy Hodgson as Liverpool manager by proclaiming that “it’s not his team” and how he needs time to build his team, or how Rafa Benitez left him a poor squad. Let’s get one very simple thing straight here; was it Alan Pardew’s team when Newcastle beat Liverpool in Pardew’s first game in charge as Newcastle manager? Was it Steve Kean’s team when Blackburn beat Liverpool on Wednesday night? It is always the manager’s team."

"Please, please leave us with some dignity. Go. Go now. Unfortunately you have lost yours but do not destroy our club." @alxh on Twitter

"I just can't take it any more. To play Wolves, Bolton and Blackburn praying for a point is just wrong. We should be going into these games believing we can annihilate them 3,4,5 nil, the good old fashioned Liverpool way. Hodgson clearly isn't the right man, and if he had any decency would have resigned a long time ago. He must go for the sake of our club."
Comment on Anfield Red blog

"PLEASE. SACK. ROY. HODGSON. BEFORE. MANCHESTER. UNITED. MATCH." @KstewFabrique on Twitter

"Hodgson's crime sheet while in charge at Anfield is long and well-known: his signings, his football, his treatment of players, his public gaffes and his cringe-worthy press conferences. Not to mention results, or rather lack of them. But of all the things Hodgson has got wrong, most annoying is his constant attempts to play down expectations and create a culture where mediocrity becomes acceptable."
Well Red blog

"'Hodgson out' written on the walls outside Melwood [Liverpool's training ground]. Not needed in my opinion." @yatzpatel on Twitter

"Still, now [Hodgson] appears to have called [Liverpool's owners'] bluff–though for all that they clearly don’t want to, they may find they have no real choice but to fire him anyhow–by throwing out a tauntingly awful display against Blackburn. Certainly he didn’t set out to have Liverpool deliver such a shockingly poor performance, but clearly Hodgson still, after everything, believes in his methods and will stick to them come hell or high water."

"Has he gone? Has he gone? Has he gone? Has he gone? Has he gone?" @dexstar on Twitter

"Dear John, You said yourself recently that there have been many poor short term decisions taken at this football club in the recent past. This is undoubtedly true and one of them was the appointment of Roy Hodgson as Liverpool manager. In all his 35 years of management there was absolutely no evidence that he had the experience required to manage a club of the stature of Liverpool FC. Despite this, for six months this site has supported him as best we could, as we did not want to exacerbate a problem not of your making. We were happy to trust your judgement, to allow you to get your feet under the desk, to appoint a management team and to make the right decision on the manager when you were ready. We were hoping that in return Roy just might prove capable of limiting the long-term damage to the club during that time. Unfortunately it is clear from events so far this season culminating in the inept display last night that the consequences of keeping Roy Hodgson in place are now so pressing that immediate and decisive action is required from Fenway. His position at the club is no longer tenable."
A Message to John Henry from Red and White Kop forum

"Hodgson has to go now.it cant get any worse, put Kenny in charge for 6 months and find a new manager. It will lift the fans and the team!" @mannion13 on Twitter

"As always I am supporting the club and it is obvious that Roy just isn't the right man for the job. Our history shows that we have been most successful when nurturing our management talent from within because its not just about tactics, every club has those, for LFC it has been about a deep attachment to the club itself and I don't see we will ever have that sustained success again but Kevin Keegan might set us on the road towards regaining some of our self respect because he feels the pain and humiliation of defeat and not the loss of points; he doesn't want to build his own team he wants to re-establish LFC as a footballing force."

"I firmly believe that if there was nuclear war only cockroaches and Hodgson would survive." @djnodex on Twitter

"I gave [the new owners] the benefit of the doubt for a while, that they were trying to do the honourable thing, sticking by the manager and that they were unlucky that the manager they were sticking with is out of his depth. After a shocking match against Wolves and humiliation yesterday, it is surely clear to everyone that he has to go. You don't need to know anything about football to see that. He must go. If Kenny is not back tomorrow, coaching the side in preparation for the biggest match of our season questions must be asked about the judgement of NESV."
Comment from user TKIDLLTK on LFC Reds forum

"I wish Roy Hodgson would just go before he causes even more damage.The job is just too big for him." @redders65 on Twitter

"Relegation is a real possibility - I'd go as far as to say probable with Roy at the helm. We have a toxic mix of no confidence, a manager with no future and little respect and fans who've completely turned on him to the point where they are effectively not bothering to go to matches they'd usually turn up for in droves. Relegation is something we should all be fearing a great deal at this point in time. It would be careless not to."

"RH's greatest undoing was that he never got to grips with the magnitude of the task. He kept denigrating the players and constantly came up with staements that suggested Liverpool was like any other club. IT IS NOT !!!!. Liverpool will only compare itself with Man U. NO ONE ELSE !!"
Comment from user uwannabe on Liverpool Official forum

"Is the transfer window still open? Has Roy Hodgson been booted out of it yet?" @scolumn on Twitter

"Time for him to go. I'm not going to abuse him, he may be a very nice man. He is though, simply not up to task of managing Liverpool FC. Tonight, against a managerless team lacking at least 8 players for one reason or another we lost 3-1 and were awful. Not good enough (infact embarrassingly not good enough) and the buck stop's with the manager I'm afraid. Get rid whilst we still have a chance of salvaging something from this season."
Comment from user Tommy Torres on Red and White Kop forum

"Did you know... Dalglish has won more trophies than Hodgson has won away games in all his time managing English sides?" @thisisanfield on Twitter

[barnes10]

I know we're furious but I can see why FSG are taking theit time rather than acting immediately. being knocked out of the fa cup wont relegate us will it?

that match is basically irrelevant so its about next week when we could get closer to the relegation zone (likely to against blackpool FFS!). So if they sack him now or Monday doesnt really make much difference. The point is tieing up the new man.

Maybe Roy's agreed to mutual consent if we lose to Man U/Blackpool like that 'signed forms to leave rumour? who knows...

[el matador]

its not going to happen...

he wont be sacked today.

[barnes10]

Don't be daft, Purslow will have little to no say on this.

And how on earth can he look anything but foolish by appointing Roy?

Isnt he the executive slating SOS for undermining Roy? Sounds like he's trying to salvage his reputation by insisting Roy's a good manager and that its only a noisy minority of fans that want him gone... Sounds exactly like what he'd to tbh.

Also have to wonder if #LFC can be run effectively by remote-control from Boston, particualy given NESV's lack of football experience.

[billy_mac]

I was utterly convinced he was a million miles for being the right man for the job and it took him only days to prove me right.

The performances this year are in no way linked to Rafa's reign. This old fool has brought in poor players and imposed an outmoded system of play on the team and introduced a proactively negative playing style, letting the other team have the ball, defend at all costs and hope we can pinch one at the other end and sit on it.

His main fault apart from innate incompetence was in introducing a totally different playing method and buying extremely bad players. Rafa's legacy could not have had less to do with the situation that has arisen under Hodgson

It's the worst football I've seen us play in half a century and Rafa's reign does indeed look like a golden age by comparison

I didn't think there was going to be a new dynasty under Roy, more like stop the decline. I thought he'd rally the troops put the arm around the players, change the system and things wouldn't get any worse than they were, maybe improve a bit, but not this. Then I was allowing him time, but I've seen enough to know there's no improvement coming anytime soon. Whatever he's trying to do behind the seens is not working on the pitch.

Managers are judged on signings and results. He's failed on both fronts.

Sounds reasonable. Maybe thinks Roy will actually be ok. Either way, he's a cock.

[Suarez]

Of course, my track record, if people bothered to study it, would put me in the same category as Sir Alex Ferguson enjoys today , but people don't talk about what I've done outside England. Here, they just talk about Blackburn Rovers, but that's just a very small part of a 26-year career. To most English journalists it's the only part. I've got an excellent track record in Sweden, Switzerland, Italy and in Denmark, where FC Copenhagen was my last job before I went to Udinese. We won the league there by seven points.
Sound familiar?
