KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Hosgson's 1st press Conference....

If what we all just watched was true, regarding Broughton's statement about the sale, then everyting is in hand and we may at last be able to see the picture becoming clearer.

If you missed it, it was good viewing. Tune in again at 4:30pm as it was good to hear positives for once!

i know theres many threads about Roy Hodgsons appointment but i wanted to write my thoughts about him after seeing him in his conference.
i thought he was the right man for the job before and i think the same even more now.here is a bloke who has no big ego to worry about and completely understands what our club is about.one of the things he said was that he actually feels like getting this job is the reward for working tirelessly for his whole life at other clubs.he also comes across as a very intellegent man who knows what the fans of this club want to see.i think all LFC will grow to love him.he seems very realistic about targets he wants to achieve and really hopes that all the fans get behind him.its the least he deserves.

You are spot on about Roy. Agree entirely with your sentiment.

For those who haven't seen it. In the Press Conference:

MB said that significant news will be on the way soon. A sale by August before the transfer window shuts being mooted.

And the club to be sold not just to the highest bidder.

Bidding to really kickstart mid july!

i was generally happy with what roy had to say and wish him the best of luck in his career at our club.

the only thing that raised an eyebrow was when he said the clubs financial status ''does not bother me''. fair enough its his first day on the job and wouldnt expect him to comment too much on the owners, but if he respects us as fans he will know the financial status and our star players is what we care about most.

i personally will not get my hopes up over the words martin broughton had to say regarding the sale of the club. it sounds like a step in the right direction but we have all been fooled far too much over these last few years... i suppose only time will tell

martin broughton mentioned they had got their shortlist down to 2 candidates, one was roy. i wonder who the other one was?

After an illustrious Sunday League role as Manager....I thought I was in with a shout

You should have done Saturday League & you'd be on the shortlist!

Does anyone have a clear link of the press conference please? I watched this recorded one with very low volume and didint hear what he had to say. cheers

its free on the main site

thanks Troy

Steady the ship maybe but great things are a long way off i fear.
