RED ROY AS LIVERPOOL TARGET FULHAM BOSS
Hodgson interested in Anfield post

HODGSON: A candidate for Liverpool job

By Neil Ashton & Chris Bascombe, 01/05/2010

ROY HODGSON has emerged as the shock front-runner to succeed Rafa Benitez at Liverpool this summer.

The Fulham chief is a wanted man after leading the Londoners to the Europa League final.


Although Benitez's future will not be resolved until the end of the season, Hodgson has emerged as a potential replacement at Anfield.


Hodgson, 62, has told friends he has one big job left in him after his remarkable work with Fulham and is now one of the names being considered by Liverpool.


The Kop have already explored other options, including Martin O'Neill - who is sure to be on the short-list - and Jose Mourinho.


But Hodgson has become a serious contender after leading the London club on an exhilarating European run. The Fulham chief has always wanted the England job, but his path has been blocked by the excellent work of Fabio Capello.

Hodgson is aware that Capello intends to see out his contract with the FA, which runs until 2012, and is unlikely to quit even if England won the World Cup this summer.

Instead, Hodgson has told close friends he is interested in transforming Liverpool's fortunes, though there has been no official approach.

Liverpool will not make their move for a new manager until the end of the season and will not be panicked into an appointment.

Hodgson's work at Fulham over the past two seasons is much admired at Anfield and he has become a credible solution to their ongoing problems.

The Fulham chief has an excellent managerial record, with the exception of his second season in charge at Blackburn.

At 62, he believes there is another big challenge left in his career and is prepared to listen offers from another club.

Hmmm would be a quite interesting appointment.
 
Good manager, I hope Liverpoor don't get their hands on him.

Keep Rafa At Pool!
 
Read Henry Winter suggesting the other day that Hodgson will go to Liverpool, then manage the GB football team at the 2012 Olympics before succeeding Capello with England...

It'll be interesting to see who is in the running for Liverpool as anyone who gets it will then be automatically ruled out of following on from SAF.

The Liverpool job doesn't seem that attractive to the top top managers atm. It's well known they got restricted spending power and need to rebuild the squad. Someone like Hodgson makes sense, he's used to working with a budget and knows the league plus he has plenty of European experience.
 
"Instead, Hodgson has told close friends"

Close friends, eh?

Typical NoTW bullshit. Some cnut was sitting at his desk and has simply made a link between Hodgson's recent managerial plaudits and the probable vacancy at Anfield next season.
 
I think Fulham will be Woy's swansong myself. Been cracking for them and the fans adore him.
 
I can see Martine ONeill being approached to take over from Rafa. I think he would do very well at Liverpool and would have them back in the top 4 within 2 years.
 
Still reckon it will be Klinnsman.
 
Roy's a good manager, but at his age I wonder if taking a job on a sinking ship is the best thing for his health. At Fulham he can have a great last hurray and ride off into the sunset. At liverpool all he'll have to do is eat shit till he calls it a day. I would stay at Fulham if I was him.
