Dear oh dear. Look whats happened. The lunatics have taken over the asylum.
Have you ever seen such knee-jerk, over-reaction in all your life?
Before I start, just lets get one thing clear. Anyone who calls me a "Roypologist" is nothing more than a go'bshite and can fu'ck right off. I have no need to apologise for wanting the man to succeed as the manager of LFC. I will say truthfully if he makes mistakes and at this moment he is. But I expect it from Hodgson as I would expect it from any new boss.
Now. Lets try and get some perspective in all of this. We have seen statements bordering on the hysterical on here (you know who you are) and others who are just plain stirring it up in a sly, seditious way (you also know who you are). I want to cover some of the topics which have been discussed as key to our current situation:
Dalglish:
There is no evidence whatsoever that Kenny taking over would have sorted the players, the owners or our plight in general. He has not managed for 10 years and those who point out his record need to stop chatting sh'it. It is irrelevant to this era. He also abandoned us and said he was finished wih football only to emerge 8 months later as manager of Blackburn. Great player. Great manager (then) Has had his day.
Benitez:
It truly amazes me when people say he was sacked for coming 7th. I say thank fu'ck the season ended in may because if it had lasted till July we could have been relegated, so bad was the football. Those who go on about Benitezes record would do well to remember this. Champions league winners 2005, losers 2007 and then decline until last years non qualification. His record in the league was sporadic and the only time we came close was two seasons ago when we "punched above our weight". His revolving door strategy was that of a man who couldnt make his mind up and this, combined with an obsession to upset people eventually led to his downfall. He spent millions upon millions upon millions and sent us into a decline that was unstoppable. He was finished as a force in English football, and him and anyone who knew anything about the game knew it to be "FACT". Those who are still bitter about the manner in which he went, or even that he went at all should, by now, have got over it. But they use him when they want as a tool to undermine Hodson, all the while saying "its got nothing to do with Rafa, its woys team"
Players:
I will hold my hand up and admit I was wrong. I honestly thought that the squad Benitez had put together last season was strong enough to challenge for a top 4 place. I said that it was his incompetence that stopped these players from reaching their potential and that with him gone we would see how good they really were. How wrong I was. We can now clearly see that many of the players he left us with are a bunch of rag tag, ne'er do wells who look like they havent got the balls for a fight. I cant be ar'sed going through all of them but Johnson, Skrtel, Ngog and Babel should never be wearing a red shirt. As for Poulson and Konchesky, they need to improve or fu'ck off. As for Gerrard, Torres and Carragher, they are the senior members and should act accordingly instead of sulking, moaning and talking bollox. The whole team needs a rocket up the ar'se and those who dont respond, whoever they are should be shipped out in January.
Relegation:
"Its embarrasing that we are in the relgation zone". Yes it is. But its not the end of the world. 7, yes 7 games in and we are down the bottom of the league. Do we deserve to be there? Yes we do because of the way weve been playing. BUT. Add two wins and we are up to 10th. Three wins and we are up to 4th. Such is the nature of the table in this, or any season. As Ive said before, put our glorious history aside for one minute and take into account the way the clubs been run for the last few years. Is it any wonder were where we are? Because the bitters are above us (on goal difference) some are crying that the worlds gone mad and Hodgson should be sacked immediately. We have had a bad start. Absolutely. But getting rid of he manager will not solve anything. I am gutted about the situation were in but now is not the time to act like ignorant kno'bs calling for the managers head
Support:
I understand peoples fears and frustrations and I am not convinced that Hodgson is the man to turn things round. However, as a Reds fan, I totally deplore and condemn the behaviour of some of the so called "fans" who post on here. I dont give a sh'it if you thought the sun shone out of Rafas ar'se and cried when he went. That is no excuse to launch such disrespectful, personal attacks on our current manager. He is not a Fu*king magician and the sh'it he has inherited is far beyond most peoples imagination. Those who mock and undermine him are not true LFC supporters and those who boo at matches need chinning and kicking out of Anfield. Any of the pr'icks who have called him names and behaved so badly should not sing "Youll never walk alone" at matches because they are Fu*king phoney tw@ts if they do.
