I'm sorry but Hodgson was given at least 4 months without any brickbats, despite most not fancying him from the start Including myself. He was doing daily press conferences that were frankly embarrassing,he was never a Liverpool manager. he also played the worst football I have seen in 30 years, including the worst performances and results. He had no redeeming features.

Would Newcastle,Spurs,Arsenal,Man U,Man City,Chelsea or even Everton get Hodgson, if there manager was sacked tomorrow, would they hell.

Even in 30 years of managing throughout Europe,apart from one successful season at Inter, who still sacked him, he hasn't done much.

That's funny, cause from the moment he was even linked with the job all I heard were Liverpool fans moaning that he wasn't good enough for them, he wasn't given a chance from the moment he joined.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think he was the right man for Liverpool but that doesn't excuse the fact that fans were on his abck from day one. Kenny has had a lot longer and only sentiment is keeping him in a job right now. Legend as a player, myth as a manager.

Don't get the sky generation internet warriors, phone in balloonheads, mixed up with the people who actually go the match. Different species on the whole.

I think that just about proves my point, he was never given a chance by the fans and was hounded out for better results than your beloved Kenny. Still at least you got a point today so things are looking up

When Hodgson was with us we were in the bottom 3, so how does that equal the same. We were knocked out the cup by Northampton in the 1st round (with Kenny we won it).

We were playing worst football under Hodgson by a mile.

I am not going to defend everything about Kenny, as there are clearly some massive problems, and he may have to move on.

However, if every time a team went through a bad patch, we wouldn't currently be looking at Wenger, Moyes (yes he was getting tonnes of stick off most blues 3 months ago), Mancini (now) even Ferguson 3 months ago (Man U fans giving it loads about their crap centre midfielders).

Then people say we should have stayed with Hodgson!!!

Do you think Kenny should still be in charge?

On the way out of the Ground yesterday, opinion seemed to be split between those who believe Kenny could never be wrong and those who belive he has done what he came to do and steady the ship after the disaster of Hodgson, but now appears to be out of his depth,

In my opinion his tactical knowledge is awful and the failure to play people in their own position and or to their strengths has been a major downfall - Prior to Xmas we were still struggling to score, the transfer window opens and we accept an 8 game ban for one of our two strikers yet fail to sign anyone even on loan! - complete madness.

On current perfomances, the players have no desire and nothing to play for, Blackburn are fighting for their lives and we will lose their, Everton are far better organised and will have the hunger and desire, my ownly hope for that game is that the players will actually stand up and play. The Villa Goal yesterday came due to Flannagan bottling a 50/50 tackle.

I would not expect Kenny to stay if we lose Both games.

Yes, till the end of the season.

We are not Newcastle, or city who have at one point went through about 20 managers in 25 years. That way, relegation looms.

If he wins the FA cup, finishes 7th, it may be worth another season. Out of the cup on Saturday and 9th place finish, means time to go.

I also have a lot of issues with him. Not making subs until 60 minutes, not playing Bellamy, playing henderson on the right, not playing Gerrard of Suarez, etc.

However, we are getting no luck, bad decisions, but kenny also has to take a long look at himself as that is the biggest problem. Players also need to do the same. Commoli also.

I'm still going to Blackburn though, must need my head testing.

I'll be there supporting the team, BUT that does not mean I have to agree with the management, players and direction they are choosing,

Moments of luck, what are they, ?? - more like dodgy referreeing, The decision for the mancs penalty today is outrageous and to then follow with a red card!! - why werent Rooney or Fabio booked for their challenges

That's right, each should have their own thoughts. As long as the crowd are backing them whilst the game is on, I dont mind.

OK so you can honestly tell me hand on heart that Anfield was 100% behind Hodgson and gave him a fair chance?

Hodgson did not give himself a chance with the fans, have a look at his press conferences, he had admitted defeat to Utd before the season had even started, he didnt know anything about the history of the club or who we have even beaten to win the Champions League!! - he was appointed as a Yes man by Dumb and Dumber while they tried to (rip off) sell the club for as much as they could.

Has there ever been a manger appointed with 100 pc fan backing? He was backed at the matches ,with no problems even into the November, but woeful performances and results, and interviews saying wew were great against Everton when we were woeful, doomed him. Were 100pc Man U fans backing Fergie 3 months ago, when miles behind city? No, but look at them now. No one gets it.

Difference is Sir Fergie is a legend and needs to prove nothing to no man!

Once again he's risen to the top when the going gets tough!

But so true.......

I'm not going there fella, I'll talk with anyone, but not worth talking to knobs.[/QUOTE]

So you'll support him backing Suarez even after he's been found guilty?

Oh, and btw,if you support racists, maybe you'd be better off looking in the mirror before you use that kind of language.
