Held a Q&A session on LFCtv yesterday. It hasn't gone down too well with the Kopites:


  • Defended Woy - which the Kopites hated
  • Had a go at the FSWs last season record
  • Told them a ground share makes sense financially and that they're open to it if fans want it too
  • Advised them that funds would have to be built up through commercial growth - no quick fix
  • Called the club a 'franchise' :lol:

I'll give it to about March before the Yanks Out bedsheets make a reappearance.

YANKS OUT! (again)
 
Good, they need bringing back down to earth. Instead of being a spilt club used to getting its own way.
 
No surprise there....

Add to that - Woy has been giving it some jib that the RS dont like

Roy Hodgson does not believe any other manager could get more out of the Liverpool team given current resources.

Liverpool's manager, who had "great confidence" in his ability, said "Whoever takes my place will be in a similar job with similar players."

That would remain so "unless there is a major inflow of cash into the club and the team is going to be changed from one moment to the next".

The Reds lie ninth in the Premier League nine points off a top-four spot.

Since Hodgson took over at Anfield on 1 July, following Rafael Benitez's departure in June, Liverpool have had a change of ownership with New England Sports Ventures [NESV] taking over from Tom Hicks and George Gillett.

NESV's John W Henry, speaking during a phone-in on the club's in-house television channel on Monday, said the team's form towards the end of last season and so far this campaign has been "unacceptable", although Hodgson says he has the support of the club's hierarchy.

"The owners have made it perfectly clear they are in it for the long term and they are going to be patient," said the 63-year-old Hodgson. "They realise it is going to take time.

"They realise we can't turn things around overnight and they also realise that the team I am working with is not the team I put together.

"You don't turn things around overnight and they are aware of the magnitude of the task but they are very focused on what needs to be done and I am convinced they will help me get it done."

An area of particular concern for Hodgson is his side's poor Premier League away form, with a record so far of six defeats - the latest a 3-1 loss at Newcastle on Saturday - two draws and one win.

However, Hodgson showed signs of frustration over constant questions about his future ahead of the Europa League group game against FC Utrecht at Anfield on Wednesday.

The Reds have secured top spot in Group K and qualified for the last 32 in the competition with a game to spare.

"It doesn't bother me because I can't do more than I am doing, I can't work harder, I can't work better," added Hodgson, whose team play his former club Fulham at home in the league on Saturday evening.

"I have great confidence in my ability, I don't think there is any reason not to have.

"I know the players are working as hard as they can to win matches for Liverpool and therefore me as manager."

They're still not happy and think a team of Lucas, Squirtle, Babel, Ngog, Konchesky, Maxi, Jovanovic, Johnson etc can actually qualify for Champs League against Spurs and Citeh hahaha
 

They really do need to lower their expectations. That club is not geared on or off the pitch for success. The NESV takeover offers them nothing but steady improvement at best. All the fears we had during the last days of the Hicks and Gillett regime of them 'falling on their feet' again have been unfounded. They are ****ed for a number of years. Never thought I'd see the day.
 
Lifelong Red Sox fan and I can assure you that Henry knows what he's doing. I can give you example after example of how Hicks has failed miserably in the States with the Rangers while Henry brought two World Series rings to the Red Sox after an 86 year drought.

They absolutely are in my opinion. Hicks spent his money foolishly with the Rangers then did the same at Liverpool. Henry spent his money wisely using brilliant minds like Bill James and Theo Epstein, and he's a smart enough business mind that he'll do the same at Liverpool by bringing in smart football minds. That being said, Hicks left Liverpool in terrible shape in comparison to what Henry was left in Boston, but I have no doubt Henry turns things around.
