He'd be getting the knife stuck into him having just lost at home to the team with the worst away record in the country until tonight, think its Barnet who have it now..

And, not being biased, Wolves could've had another one or two and ended up looking quite comfortable to the win. No wonder there was a round of boo's after the game. If he's one of the best British coaches we've got no wonder teams all go foreign.

| You only have to look at Wilkins-gate to see how the British press love their own. Wilkins was an assistant, well praised by Ancelotti, but really not that pivotal, but the press would have you believe he's the one who brought in Drogbarr, Essien, Malouda etc. and he's the one who picks the team and wins CL titles with AC Milan.
The press obviously want a British coach to succeed at a big club, it's a rarity these days and, with the hate campaign for Capello in sixth gear, they'll do anything to justify the 'we need a British manager' claims.

Redknapp's the only one with relative success and he's achieved very little as it stands.
The media always overhype all things British but I also think Wilkins was quite pivotal in Chelsea's success over the years but nothing that can't be replaced in time.

| Typical blinkered Liverpool fans....Yes, Hodgson is doing poorly results-wise, and I agree he is probably on borrowed time, but why vent all your anger at him, when you have a supposedly superstar striker spending all his time sulking around the pitch, showing minimum effort?
Torres is a disgrace....He is the epitome of the mercenary footballer. All smiles and great form when the sun is shining and things are going well - When the chips are down they disappear and go moping about, pretending its anybody's fault but their own.
By all means, boo Hodgson, but don't be hypocritical and allow Torres and his like to get away with Liverpool's poor form as though they are scot-free of any blame.

Don't let that get in the way of a bitter ramble.

| Torres is an absolute disgrace at the moment, he clearly wants away.

How the hell Rafa got them to 7th with that lot is beyond me!!
Last season we lost 11 games and got 63 points - Rafas fcking fault he's fat and Spanish!!!!
This season 8 games lost after 18 games and nearly half way through the season on 22 points if we were lucky we might get 50 - not Roys fault that its that Spanish tvvat again.'"
Rafa is/was a better manager than Hodgson. Roy is making the club a laughing stock, especially with taking on the fans. Roy has taken you backwards and you probably would be doing better under Rafa. But Rafa still had to go as he was also taking you backwards if you get my meaning. Need to go after Rijkaard if available.

I'd rather Martin O'Neil or King Kenny take the helm, myself.

| Hodgson tells it like it is:
"We haven't seen the famous Liverpool support since I've been here."
If only the Mcdonalds kop could start sucking the ball into the net again.

Isn't he available after being fired off by Galatasaray?

Unless he's given unlimited transfer funds so that he can sign about half a dozen much needed players, then Rijkaard shouldn't get anywhere near the Liverpool job for the moment.
The Hodgson appointment actually made sense in a roundabout way.....The board had obviously seen that Benitez's squad was a poor one, being held together by 2 or 3 good players. They probably also knew that they didn't have the funds to get the much needed quality back into it, thus they appointed somebody who had a record of getting the best out of, to put it politely, average players.
Unfortunately, Hodgson has been unable to get any consistancy from this bunch....The main problem I see, is that there are certain players who think they are a lot better than they actually are.....I think if he was at a smaller club, with less expectation, then Hodgson would be well within his rights to ask for a good 2-3 years before being judged, while he got the chance to get rid of some of the rubbish that is at the club and to bring in players who are up for a scrap, rather than players who seem to think because they are Liverpool they have a divine right to win.
Sadly for Hodgson, he's now lost the fans and I don't see any way back for him....If, and I'm not saying they should, get rid of Hodgson, then only 1 man fits the present Anfield bill and that's Martin O'Neil....He knows the scene and he doesn't take egos very well.
