Unlike former Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez – the chippy Spaniard who was rightfully driven from Blighty's shores for achieving nothing much of note bar winning some European bauble or other, and having the temerity to pass on the opportunity to share a £2.99 bottle of Jacob's Creek with Salford sommelier Sir Alex Ferguson – his successor Peter Principle has, during his time at Anfield, enjoyed a fairly easy ride from the press.

And so he should have! How many managers have got to two Euro Vase finals, winning neither, like Peter? How many managers can claim to have won the 1976 John West Tuna Chunks Shield with Halmstad, like Peter? And how many elite managers have a LMA Boss of the Year badge proudly sewn on to their lapel, like Peter or Dave Jones or George Burley or Frank Clark or Joe Kinnear? Not many, that's how many!

Anyway, Peter got yet another easy ride from the press today. But this was because his press conference, scheduled for early in the afternoon, was cancelled. Seems the press have suddenly cottoned on to the fact that Mr Principle's CV is merely a deft exercise involving the adroit use of smoke and shiny reflective surfaces, and were planning to deviate from the usual deep probing – "British managers, they're just the best, aren't they?", "What is your favourite colour?" and "Do you want to at least pretend that you hope to win at Old Trafford on Sunday?" – in order to ask Peter about his imminent sacking instead.

To fill the gap, Liverpool are releasing an interview with Peter on in-house channel Stalin TV today, when the answers to the questions put to the under-fire manager are expected to be: "It would be arrogant to presume British bosses are any better than ones from Montserrat, American Samoa or Papua New Guinea"; "Blue, no, hold on, what colour do we play in again? Red. Yes, red"; and "Nah, I'll be happy with a 4-0 defeat, anything so long as Sir Alex isn't cross with me and cracks open the Le Piat D'or."

I honestly think he's off on Monday now ( I hope so anyway!)

I just can't understand how a 63 year old man can handle the stress he must be under - clearly not any confidence from the owners, the players and certainly not the fans.

It really must now be a case of when not if

Honestly I don't think so anymore...**** it the only way he'll be sacked is if we get relegated...

For the first time this season I actually believe we will be in a relegation battle come the end of season If cunty hooks remains in charge.

Just out of curiosity, because i have forgotten - what were my conspiracy theories?

Won't come to that but we do have probems

We will be the epitomy of a mid table team thus losing key players and being unable to attract others...

I believe is was somthing to do with the referees in the premier league all been pro united and anti-Liverpool and they were fixing all our games and nothing to do with the fact that they have just being better that us for a while now, manager wise, owner wise, player wise......

I now want it changed to- "I believe Craig H was a Wasp in a former life"

I still think he'll be here till the summer, he'll be given the chance with whichever new players are bought this month to prove himself.

Maybe i'm just being overly pessimistic, it's how i feel right now about the whole thing, if he was about to be sacked..or had been, and this was his last game, they would just let Sammy Lee take over for one or two games or so if that's all they intended keeping Bodge on for, after making the decision to sack him.
