KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum liverpool want roy hodgson as next manager

Word is fast circulating round the press and online that Liverpool want Roy Hodgson as their next manager and there is no longer any doubt that Benitez will leave within the next week or so. Liverpool’s season is fast ending on a damp note and even the likes of Steven Gerrard looked a pale shadow of their former selves in yesterday’s limp surrender to Chelsea at Anfield.

We understand that even if Juventus fail to follow through with their move for Benitez that Liverpool will still negotiate Benitez’s exit from Anfield, reports suggest that he has lost the confidence of the main players including Gerrard and Fernando Torres and that the board are refusing to tell Benitez anything about next seasons plans including transfer budget.

The way Benitez walked out of Anfield yesterday gave the impression of a man saying goodbye and with all the rpess stories out of Italy calling the Benitez to Juventus a done deal the writing was always on the wall for the Spaniard, its just a question now of who will replace Benitez and when.
Hodgson would be very reluctant to leave Fulham but the lure of managing a top side like Liverpool may just prove to attractive to turn down and reports are that it is Hodgson and Hodgson alone that the powers that walk the Anfield corridor want.

Could be an interesting couple of weeks..this is from footylatest.com

yea i would welcome him too. what he has achieved with fulham is beyond words.

he's one of 2-3 candidates i would like us to get...

his done wonders with fulham and i think his a decent manager and brings out the best in payers but if we get new owners in we need someone that can attract the big players and am not sure hodgson can. he aint got a big reputation

sorry whos spud?

Danny Murphy. Scurge of Man Utd.

yea maybe there's some truth in what you're saying, at least when it comes to foreign players. but i do believe we could sign some great british players with him in charge and i wouldn't say no to that.

tbh i think we need moureen but it aint gonna happen and until the ownership is sorted how can the club apoint a new boss.but hodgson has got a lot of experience and he's got his fulham side playing some great footy so if was to be him to take over from rafa i don't think we'll be going far wrong plus hes deffo better than o'neil. another name thats been strongly linked to the job

if we wanted to buy good british players woodnt it be better to get o'neil. if we looking for a new british manager why not david moyes. i no his everton manager but i think his just as good as any other british manager. and his done fantstic wid everton with no money

moyes won't ever make that switch. and hodgson is a far better choice than o'neill imo.

too tell u the truth mate i dont really no much abt hodgson, so i dont no how good he is. i no his done a fantastic job wid fulham but thats it. but in my opion the best british manager around is harry rednapp but i no we got no changes of getting him
