December 30, 201015 yr Hodgson's side have lost three of their last four league games Roy Hodgson makes plea to angry Liverpool fans Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson has urged fans to back the club following the shock 1-0 home defeat by Wolves. Stephen Ward's goal inflicted an eighth league loss on the Reds this season, sparking a chorus of boos from angry Liverpool fans at the final whistle. "The fans have left angry and that's understandable. We've let them down," said 63-year-old Hodgson. "I have to hope the fans will become supporters because we need support. We are not deliberately losing games." Ward struck on 56 minutes to give Wolves their first away win in the Premier League this season and lift them off the bottom of the table. However, most of the focus was on the increasingly precarious position of Hodgson, who is in his first season at the helm after succeeding Rafael Benitez in July. As the curtain came down on a third defeat in four league games for the Reds, leaving them 12th in the table and three points above the relegation zone, thousands of supporters chanted the name of former manager Kenny Dalglish. They also sarcastically chanted "Hodgson for England" after he replaced David Ngog with Ryan Babel during the second half. "I am getting used to it, that is the way it is," stated Hodgson, who believes the negativity directed at him has had an impact on his team so he is has called for more backing from the terraces. We've had to live with that for quite a long time now as ever since I came here the famous Anfield support has not really been there. "There were the problems with the owners, then Kenny being so popular and not getting the job and it being given to me. It is sad and I don't like hearing those things because I am trying to do the best job I can do. As manager, you take responsibility for that so I have to take that criticism on the chin as well. "You have seen these players before. They are just not playing like they have done in the past so I think it is time for the fans to really help as well. It is not for lack of trying that we are not winning matches. Maybe we are lacking quality and lacking confidence - the negativity doesn't help. The players are not getting on the ball for fear of making mistakes." Liverpool were playing a match for the first time in a fortnight because of postponements and they struggled for any rhythm or fluency. Striker Fernando Torres continued to look a shadow of his former self, while midfielder Steven Gerrard appeared short of match sharpness on his return from a six-week injury lay-off. "A lot of our players were below their form and the level we want them to play at," conceded Hodgson. "It was a performance way below what we are capable of and what we wanted to give. I'd like to give Wolves credit but I think we were a bit unlucky to lose the game. Probably 0-0 would have been a fair result but it was nowhere near our expectations or hopes. It's one of those days that saddens you as a coach and as a player. Tonight the fans go home angry and disappointed because they've seen their team play badly." However, despite his side's poor form, Hodgson is wary of looking for any quick-fix solutions in the January transfer window. "It would be dangerous to clear a lot of players out on the basis of one game," he said. "We wanted our renaissance to start today but it hasn't happened. "Panic would be the wrong thing to do but I'm not the sole arbiter of that." Wolves manager Mick McCarthy felt his side, who lost to Wigan on Boxing Day but have now moved up one place to 19th in the table, were full value for their win. "I thought we were the better team and deserved it," he said. "I think most people's perception of Wolves is that we are going down after being beaten by Wigan and being bottom of the league. They probably thought we would come here and sit back and get our backsides slapped and go home with nothing. We decided we weren't going to have that and we were going to come here and have a go. I guess fortune favours the brave." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/liverpool/9326948.stm

December 30, 201015 yr To be fair on Roy Hodgson he took on a turd of a job. As the old saying goes - you can't polish a turd. You can break it up and mash it all about and make it even more messier but at the end of the day it's still a turd! We need a manager who will come in and clean this turd up once and for all!

December 30, 201015 yr Manchester United recall duo Ritchie de Laet and Josh King from loan spell at Preston North End after Darren Ferguson sacking Manchester United have recalled duo Ritchie de Laet and Josh King from their loan spells at Preston North End just a day after Darren Ferguson, son of Red Devils’ manager Sir Alex Ferguson, was sacked as the Lilywhites’ manager. Both defender De Laet and midfielder King have returned immediately to the Premier League side. United have indicated they want Matty James, also on loan at Deepdale, to return to Old Trafford. Preston chairman Maurice Lindsay admitted the sudden recall came as a shock but admitted United were well within their rights to recall De Laet and King, although the situation with James is slightly different. Lindsay told North End’s official website: “That has come as a bit of a shock to us :whatever: and it’s a bit of a blow. Ritchie and Josh won’t now be available on Saturday. We got a message from Manchester United that they have been summoned back immediately. Under the terms of the loan agreement they can do that, we recognise United’s legal right to do that. They would like Matty James back as well, but his contract is a bit different.” http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2896/premier-league/2010/12/30/2283613/manchester-united-recall-duo-ritchie-de-laet-and-josh-king

December 31, 201015 yr Bet his Bacon Face was sizzling more than ever when he got sacked yesterday. Sadly he's allowed his greasy face spunk to spill onto Preston North End who merely did their duty by sacking Ferguson Jnr for doing a SHIT JOB! Fergie Jnr has no chance whatsoever, being in the shadow of arguably the greatest club manager ever. If he has any sense, he should go and find something else to do.;)
December 31, 201015 yr Fergie Jnr has no chance whatsoever, being in the shadow of arguably the greatest club manager ever. If he has any sense, he should go and find something else to do.;) He did a decent job at Peterborough United to be fair but obviously the championship was above his managerial capabilities. I stood behind him in the stands at a dugout in one game at Carlisle a couple of years ago and he was a decent enough guy and thankfully doesn't take it after his father on the touchline trying to influence refs decisions. But maybe that's his problem. You don't get anywhere in football these days without being a complete **** it seems.

All I'm saying is, whether you like Fergie Snr. or not, he's an impossible act to follow in terms of football management. Therefore his son will always be on a hiding to nothing, whichever job he gets.
