Liverpool Echo confirm Uncle Roy as rs boss

[BlackToffee]

Just saw this on sky news.

 

[bluebloodinmyveins]

There IS a god.

 

[Cena]

He'l do well i think and might be a nicer feeling come derby day, you know him and Moyes will have great respect for each other. Let's hope he has a run with them like he did with Blackburn though.

 

[Brownie]

Yes Roy I think you did well there was a lot of movement down the flanks and he came inside and hurt you Roy mate.

 

[best little spaniard]

Damn, I like Hodgson. It's no fun them having a manager I like.

 

[chicoazul]

He's a good man, I wish him the worst of luck.

 

[Nordecke]

I hope he dont try and bring Deuce to the [Poor language removed] side.. I think he will though..

 

[ijjysmith]

Whatever. We're getting a new kit the same day this happens.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

It's a bit odd that the RS, in their current situation, would appoint a manager that has never spent more than 3 seasons with a club or country in 20 years...

 

[davek]

This deffo means theyn haven't got a pot to piss in. He's already being touted as the board's poodle by Liverpool supporters - a settlement for mediocrity.

 

[Muggins]

If Hodgson wins anything with these blerts I will use both hands to clap him.

 

[artetas sock]

A nice man..........sorry....was.....let the vitriol roll!!!!

 

[bobbyrob]

I liked him once

 

[Blue Ray]

Bad move Woy mate

 

[davek]

I suppose part of the thinking behind getting him in is that he's been at a big club that's fallen on barren times before and turned them around to face the right way...which he did with Inter. Personally I think he's walked into the lions den here and needs to hit the ground running if he's to avoid the Benitez FC fans backlash. That's not conducive to reconstruction.

On another point: who would he take from Fulham iif, as expected, he has to sell to buy? Dempsey, Zamora and Pantsil seem the obvious choices.
