Again the consistent message that he did everything wrong and no credit for anything, the idea that he could of done anything anywhere near decent is simply a no goer to you's
It's documented him and Daglish saw Suarez together and the report he wrote on Suarez was used by comoli to convince the new owners to buy him,
No mention of mierelles till i did, all we got was konchesky, then no credit for hodgson buying him as he played him out of position......

Have a quick read of this article and tell me it was only down to Mr Hodgson's "glowing" report.

Mierelles was average at best.

Never said it was only that, I also stated he and Kenny saw him, which that article mentions and mierelles, like I said before it was only us blues that thought he should stay and my point was the selective memories of some of the good he tried to do and what if he'd of got the season and the money.

Ferguson won one of the three main European Comps , Scotland at that time had teams getting into the European Cup semi finals - they were a damn sight stronger in the 80's

Hodgson has improved teams but it's not top level teams and winning comps - it's saving teams from relegation - there is a world of difference. Also managing international teams doesn't automatically suggest doing well at top clubs - Scolari won a WC yet bombed at club football. Even with the Swiss - it's getting small teams to qualify and then nothing - it's reaching a level but then not taking the next step forward. Hodgson has managed for nearly 40 years yet has failed to win a trophy in a top league - he took over a Blackburn team recently winning the title and started them on the path to relegation. Hodgson as manager has won nothing of any standing in European Football

He is a manager who is perfect for the mid to bottom half of table teams - just like Pardew , Pulis , Allardyce - all good managers keeping teams mid table in the Prem but not good enough for the top teams

And yes Rodgers shouldn't have been given the job as well - I didn't want him nor Hodgson or even Kenny for his second stint

Yet he got Milan to a Uefa cup final so has done it with the bigger clubs as well. He would have worked well for Liverpool had the fans and the board not been so impatient and like or loathe him he's getting England to play with more consistency. I accept they bombed in Brazil although had chances especially against Italy but he's got them to another major finals. Have a proper look at his achievements and they are still fairly decent by most managerial standards. He's also worked in a technical role for FIFA so clearly has some degree of respect from his peers and the governing body. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Hodgson

He's managed a few clubs.

Never realised he managed Neuchâtel Xamax in 91-92...........for some reason that teams name rings a bell from that era..... :whistle:

Just keep repeating "Roy was hard done by, we owe Roy..." C'mon Stu, you know you can do it.

I'm with you Brian, maybe Stu can dream about Roy coming back to Anfield in the future.
 
Hobbit said:
Excellent suggestion! Maybe Stu could start a "bring back Roy" campaign.

He could begin with a "Lets bring Roy Hodgson Back to Liverpool FC" thread on here and hope it goes viral, maybe we could help😃

My dad used to scout for a couple of football teams. Unless things have changed massively, and I accept that some idiot managers buy blindly from dvd's now, before a manager gets anywhere near a player the regional scout will have checked them out many times. The head scout then comes along and watches the player along with the local scout. This will happen for a few matches. If they both agree that the player is a goer then the manager or now, director of football will get involved. The manager is the last in a chain of people to check and approve the player.

Players are not discovered. All clubs know who the decent players are. It is a matter of who takes the gamble, if it is a gamble of course. In the case of Suarez his goalscoring abilities were never questioned and were known throughout Europe. The issue was temperament which was why other big teams left him alone. Of course, the temperament is still an issue but his goalscoring is now deemed worthy of a bite or two.

And the credit goes to Roy Hodgson for getting Liverpool to recognise that and take the chance, which ultimately backfired on them when he embarrassed King Kenny and then the club with his grotesque behaviour.:whoo:
 
Or the credit goes to the MD or Chairman who approved the request and signed the cheque. Other managers may have requested their clubs bid for Suarez but the Chairman says no thanks due to the behaviour issues and the impact it would have on the image of the club. For the sake of this thread and the desire to prod and poke all LFC fans however then clearly this instance was down to Roy and Roy alone.
