Liverpool Sack Roy Hodgson
Liverpool Manager Roy Hodgson has left his post at Liverpool with Kenny Dalglish taking over until the end of the season. His sacking comes at the same time that Liverpool travel to Old Trafford to play Manchester United in a FA Cup tie. Senior players in the team already thought Roy wouldn't be in charge.
Hodgson joined England's most successful club from Fulham in July last year and had been under intense pressure from fans in recent weeks after defeats to Wolverhampton Wanderers and Blackburn Rovers
Hodgson knew his reign as Liverpool boss was over and that he was on borrowed time at Anfield. He cancelled a media conference yesterday and refused to speak about his future when questioned on an in-house TV station.
An inside source said, "In fact, making him lead the team out at Old Trafford would be humilating.
"Everyone thinks Roy spent yesterday negoiating his pay-off terms".
