Your comparison fails because Kenny lost both his first games, where Hodgson was unlucky to draw with Arsenal in his opening fixture before Mascherano boycotted our 3-0 defeat at Eastlands. Both managers won their 3rd league game in charge - so Roy is still ahead.
The problem was that it took Hodgson another 6 matches to win a second league game and we were in the relegation zone even after that win.
By the time Dalglish hit this patch of relegation form (worse that Hodgson's stretch), he'd saved our bacon and almost got us an unlikely place in Europe last season, and had one hand on a cup that he went on to win.
Chalk and cheese. Dalglish will likely lose his managerial job as a result (though it's far from a certainty, especially if we lift the FA Cup), but his previous 12 months with the club were good enough to earn him a more graceful exit. Hodgson by comparison did very little of merit outside beating Trabzonspor home and away.
The bar that has been set is the fans belief that they have a right to moan when the club does something they don't like. I think these fans need to understand that they have no leverage with these owners, and maybe they should be supporting their club's decisions instead.
at the end of the day the manager we have in now is worse than Hodgson, yet the fans still sing his name, it's plain baffling, just shows where we as a club now are regarding expectation levels, mid table club, no more no less, so fans had need get used to that.
You might need to explain how he's worse than Hodgson, cos I'm missing it.
Top 10 in the league? Dalglish 2, Hodgson 0.
Cup finals? Dalglish 2, Hodgson 0.
Cups won? Dalglish 1, Hodgson 0.
Away league games won? Hodgson 1, Dalglish both his last two for starters
I'm not defending Dalglish because our recent run in the league has been poor, but that doesn't allow you to get away with calling him a worse manager than Hodgson. If you still doubt me take a look at goals conceded and shots on goal, you know, the rest of the stats. I think you'll find that Kenny is ahead on very nearly every count.
Bit like the disgraceful way some fans are treating Kenny, yeah?
