The yanks are going to let this go on and on. They appear to have no idea on what to do and seem oblivious to the fans desire to get rid of the worst manager in LIverpools history. The yanks might find they will start losing the fans soon and I'm not sure that's what they really set out to do.

It's a prediction thread on a wish list.

I wonder if Roys got Henry and Werner chained up in his cave with gimp masks on. The silence is deafening and somebodies pulling their strings, maybe Roy truly does have the power.
To think that they could have easily got rid of him for a month after the takeover.Akloppalypse Now !Comment

THE BLACKBURN Rovers manager, Roy Hodgson, cracked down on captain Tim Sherwood yesterday by dropping him - and telling him he will not get a pay rise.Originally posted by Lecter View Post
Hodgson took the bold step of leaving out Sherwood from tonight's clash with Spurs, the club who have twice tried to buy him in the last week. Sherwood is replaced by Billy McKinlay, with Chris Sutton taking the captain's arm-band.
"Because of Tottenham's unwanted interest I have had to take him out of the team," Hodgson said. "Spurs have been told twice, both verbally and in writing that the player is not for sale. The player's agent continues to make noises and unsettle him, so much so that I have to leave him out. Tim is not in the right frame of mind, he is very tempted by the supposed offer from Tottenham and by the possibility of returning to his native north London.
"Tottenham's interest in him has destabilised our club. Tim signed a new four-year contract just seven months ago."
Hodgson revealed that Sherwood had asked Blackburn for a new deal - on the same money that Tottenham are ready to pay to him - but that the suggestion had been thrown out by Blackburn's owner, Jack Walker.
He said: "Both Jack Walker and I see a defection from Tim Sherwood as being a definite negative. We've told him in no uncertain terms that he's not for sale but it has not resolved the situation. He obviously does not believe that is the case and that his contract should be improved."
However, Hodgson is also prepared to sell Sherwood if the problem carries on as he feels an unhappy player would disrupt a delicate harmony at the club where several big names have left over the last year.
He is putting team spirit first and said: "I don't want to leave myself open to any charges that a player is playing whose heart and head is elsewhere. The only way I can justify leaving a McKinlay or Flitcroft out of the team is when I know that the 11 who are playing are blue and white through and through."
Hodgson has shown in the past that he will part with unhappy men - although in Sherwood's case he is willing to let him stay if he forgets about Spurs. "Hopefully this situation will be resolved, even by Saturday, as I look forward to working with Tim. I respect and admire him, but i have been a top class manager for 25 years and I am sure one day I will get an opportunity to ruin one of the big teams" he said.
"We will need definitely him if we are going to do well in both the Championship and in Europe."

Former Liverpool player Don Hutchison blasts 'average' Fernando Torres and says that Sir Alex Ferguson would not pick him
Former Liverpool midfielder Don Hutchison has blasted the club's star striker Fernando Torres and urged under-pressure manager Roy Hodgson to sign a top-class centre-forward.
Torres has been way below his high standards this season and his form is one of the reason's Liverpool are languishing in the bottom half of the table in what has been a disastrous season so far.
He has scored just six Premier League goals in 18 appearances, and Hutchison cites Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson's handling of Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov as an example Hodgson must follow.
Hutchison said in an interview with talkSPORT: “Fernando Torres - his performance levels and his work-rate this season have been so, so bad.
“If I was in Roy’s shoes I would go out in the January transfer window and try and buy a top-class centre-forward or someone that can start every single Saturday.
“At the minute if Sir Alex Ferguson was managing Torres he would not be in the side.
"He’s done it with Berbatov and he’s done it with Rooney.
"Unfortunately for Roy he has to play him because he’s a world-class player but his performances have been very, very average.
"Liverpool need competition in them places where Roy could then maybe say to Fernando 'you're not doing it, my job's on the line here, I'm going to have to sign strikers that are going to score me goals'."
Torres had another poor showing in the 3-1 defeat against Blackburn last night, which has led to Hodgson coming under further pressure from the club's new owners.Switch off when not in use.Comment
