Another one bites the dust.....

Hodgson gone. Dalglish taking over for the rest of the season!

Inevitable, and the wrong decision IMO. Dalglish is no better suited to inspiring Liverpool's misfiring players than Hodgson, there's no point in him sanctioning any signings given the fact that he'll be leaving at the end of the season and it's not the rejuvenation that they need. They should've had the balls to appoint someone on a permanent basis so whoever it is has the opportunity to bring in the players they want.

no surprise really. i never thought he would last song. will be very interesting to see how kenny will get on and whether he will get the job beyond the end of the season.

Agreed seems like they bowed to fan pressure, (as a liverpool fan) would prefer a permanent appointment made now or in the near future.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha - getting rid of a quality, proven manager who has managed bigger clubs than Liverpool and replacing it with a has been who's been out of the game for 15 years or something.

I thought all Liverpool's woes were down to their owners? Wasn't them leaving supposed to be the magic cure?

How long before Grant & Ancelotti go?

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

A great shame.Come back to Fulham Roy anytime.

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

How long before Grant & Ancelotti go?

I didn't think Grant would be able to continue the fine work Zola did last season in taking the scum to the brink of relegation but boy i'm delighted at the job he is doing .. surely they won't escape this time

 

[BrettieAngell]

If Wet Sham lose their next league game Grant will be gone.

 

[Boreham Shrimper]

So the new owners prove themselves to be just as stupid as the last! :hilarious:

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

I thought it was a bad appoitment in the first place. What did he achieve in the league with Fulham? He kept them up, not what Liverpool want.

I'm inclined to agree with that... He was the right appointment for Hicks and Gillett, a steady pair of hands to steady the ship after a tempestuous season both on and off the field. Now that things have been sorted, he's just not the man to take Liverpool forward.

 

[Rob Noxious]

A decent man who did wonders at Fulham. Also, his pronounciation of the word 'renaissance' last week is unlikely to be bettered.

what a bunch of ******* the scouse fans are, well at least they have their wish now. I'm surprised they didn't start chanting for Bill Shankly to be reinstated.

Black armbands all round tomorrow at Anfield to mourn Uncle Roy?

I can see Roy's Dickensian manner fitting in at Upton Park. :sherlock:

And took them to a Europa League final...

This reminded me of a previous encounter between these two teams - it may well have been in the FA Cup as it was in mid-February - back in '86. Man U fans had a banner saying 'Shankly '81' whilst the Scousers had one with 'Munich '58.' It was at Anfield as the Man U coach was ambushed by some of the scallies on its way into the ground - I have a vague recollection (or is it confabulation?) of windows being smashed. There was a certain frisson about going to some grounds in the '80s. :cricko:

 

[EastStandBlue]

Erm. What's Jan Molby up to these days?

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

And took them to a Europa League final...

That's why I said "in the league"

 

[GrumpyBlue]

Eating pies ? :smile:
