On the bright side, things really could not get worse. Hopefully now the
team will revert back to 4-2-3-1 (which suits our players the best), and
Kenny can surely motivate the team, unlike Roy. Hopefully now the team
can really compete for a EL spot.

An overhaul that begins with the sale of Torres, make the money while you
still can, and swaps might be the order of the day should he move to another

I hope Dalglish works out for Liverpool but he's been away from top
management for some time. I have read a lot about Hodgson being a stop
gap manager, I rather think that the term may fit Dalglish more.
Anyway, good luck to him, I admired him as a player and think he's
overall a good bloke and he does have a great pedigree.

He is 64 this year, and he doesn't have a great length of time left in the
game, may have coached for the last time at a high profile club.
The Liverpool stint did no one any favours, and it may have cost Roy more
than Liverpool, and considering he was the LMA manager of the year in 2010,
its been a quick turn around for him!!!

The only most stupid person that I can think of offhand was the jackass
who wrote the sign "Ancelotti out! Abramovich out!" at Chelsea, unless
it was a reporter trying to make cheap news...
It would be nice to go back to the days when no one else could live with
the English clubs in Europe...

Just for reference, it took Kenny D less than 24 hours to coax a better
showing from the current team than Roy managed all season, bar the
Chelsea game. Ande I can say this even though the captain got sent off
and we lost.
Sorry, Roy was out of his depth. There is apparently only one thing he
can do properly: make a team that is ***punch above their weight by
playing really negative, defensive hoofball. This works fine at clubs
where the team really is no good (like Fulham, and I could imagine some
of the teams in relegation battle at the moment) and the ambition is to
stay in the EPL.
The problem with this approach was that the Liverpool squad just is not
that bad, no matter what the english media tries to make you think. Too
many internationals used to playing good quality passing game, pressing
the opposition and trying to win games instead of just not losing.
And please, would everyone refrain from making up a strawman about me
saying that this team should finish in the top 4 or win the title or
something. A top 8 finish is fine by me, this season. And it should not
be too much to ask, the squad is right there in quality, behind the top
3, citeh and spurs. Maybe with King Kenny playing the players in their
correct positions, motivating the squad to go out and actually trying to
to win games this will happen.

Anyway, Paul Tomkins said it best, and as an Arsenal fan, you should
relate to the below:
Arsene Wenger said that Hodgson is a great manager, but how many
Arsenal fans would have wanted him to replace the Frenchman this
summer if the Gunners had performed badly last season? Seriously, can
anyone see that as a sensible approach?
And before people get too snotty and say Arsenal were/are light years
ahead of Liverpool, remember that Bentez won a trophy more recently
than Wenger, finished in the top two far more recently, reached a
Champions League Final more recently, and did so at a club far less
stable behind the scenes.
