Liverpool FC confirmed today that manager Roy Hodgson has left the club by mutual consent.

Principal Owner John Henry commented: "We are grateful for Roy's efforts over the past six months, but both parties thought it in the best interests of the club that he stand down from his position as team manager. We wish him all the best for the future."

Roy Hodgson said: "Being asked to manage Liverpool Football Club was a great privilege. Any manager would be honoured to manage a club with such an incredible history, such embedded tradition and such an amazing set of fans. Liverpool is one of the great clubs in world football. I have, however, found the last few months some of the most challenging of my career. I am very sad not to have been able to put my stamp on the squad, to be given the time to bring new players into the club in this transfer window and to have been able to be part of the rebuilding process at Liverpool. The club has some great, world-class players, with whom it has been a pleasure to work and I wish the entire squad well for the rest of the season. I thank those with whom I have built up a close working relationship at the club for their loyalty and support during very testing times, and finally of course to the Liverpool fans, your passion and dedication to the club will see Liverpool at the top of the game once more."

Club legend Kenny Dalglish will assume control of team matters for Sunday's third round FA Cup tie against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Henry added: "We are delighted that Kenny Dalglish has agreed to step in and manage the team for Sunday's FA Cup tie at Old Trafford and for the remainder of the season.

"Kenny was not just a legendary footballer, he was the third of our three most successful managers - three giants. We are extraordinarily fortunate and grateful that he has decided to step in during the middle of this season."

Chairman Tom Werner said: "No one who cares for this great club has been happy with the way this season has unfolded and we have examined options and considered at length what is best for us going forward. Kenny will bring considerable experience to the position and provide management and leadership for the rest of the season."

LONG LIVE KING KENNY ... LONG LIVE THE KING !!

Yeah let's be clear. Our tradition not to "sack" managers continues. He left by mutual consent.

As we all knew he was a dead man walking and that NESV would replace him when ready. Shame some on here resorted to threats to the owners. In fact a shame full stop of the level of mistrust in the owners fullstop.

There seems to be an air of anarchy amongst a lot of supporters nowadays. Our support is being overrun by classless fools.

Sorry it didn't work out for Roy.
Kenny is the best man for the current situation.

by **dawson99** » Sat Jan 08, 2011 12:24 pm

Also, I'd like to thank Liverpool for waiting for my ban to be taken away before the news came out

by **Masch79** » Sat Jan 08, 2011 12:26 pm

From Roy's comments about not being given time to put his stamp on the squad and bring players in this transfer window it sounds like sacked.

Fair play to the fella he didn't do badly on purpose and is probably at a 35 year cereer low right now.

Let's just all stop the bickering and get together behind Kenny.

well he has gone, the owners have given the fans what they have asked for to shut them up.
now its down to kenny to try and sort this mess out, has he got the guts to make the cuts at the club that are needed.

are the fans going to be just as hard to him as they were to roy when the results dont get much better?

the only good thing is that if the owners buy lots of new players right now to help kenny.

good luck kenny, you are going to need it.
