Roy Hodgson expecting to be sacked soon
Roy Hodgson has reportedly given up all hope of retaining his job as Liverpool manager, after his side’s shocking loss to Blackburn on Wednesday. The 63-year-old is now expecting to be axed any minute.
The report comes in the wake of Liverpool’s 3-1 thrashing at the hands of Blackburn at Ewood Park. Prior to Wednesday’s encounter, Blackburn had only won one game in 20 previous attempts against Liverpool in all competitions. Many believe that this latest
defeat might just be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. According to English newspaper The Sun, the Reds manager himself considers his reign at Anfield to be over.
The Sun claims that after Liverpool’s defeat to Blackburn, Roy Hodgson gave an emotional farewell speech to his players and backroom staff. An insider told the newspaper, “Roy was very down and emotional. He said things like 'It's been a pleasure working
with you all but I'm sure the owners will want me out after this'. And he even added 'It's no fun hearing your own fans singing another manager's name every two minutes'.”
