HIs win rate in the Premier League is 38% over 276 games with various clubs which is comparable with quite a number of PL managers in recent years. The fact that he is now in his 70s does raise the question of how he is going to progress the club, however, it is not our problem and I'm happy to let them get on with it.
They have a good squad of players, a Chairman who does care about the club and American owners who are probably wondering what the hell is going on!
Roy is exactly the guy they need!
its a results bisiness which is why De Bore was sacked- a manager who has Woy"s win ratio is probably in League 1
Roy at Liverpool
Hodgson has at least broken plenty of records as manager at Anfield;
• Liverpool lost 8 matches after 18 match rounds in the league for the first time since 1964/1965.
• The last time Liverpool had fewer points at turn of the year was in 1953/54 … the season they were relegated.
• After the first five games of the season, Liverpool recorded its worst start to a season since 1992-93.
• Liverpool suffered its first loss to Blackpool at Anfield since 1967.
• Liverpool’s first loss to Stoke in 26 years.
• Liverpool’s first-ever loss in its entire history to fourth division opposition (Northampton in September).
• Liverpool suffered only their second-ever loss to Wolves at home in 60 years.
• For a period this season Liverpool has been mired in bottom-three relegation zone for first time since 1984.
• The worst winning percentage (41.38%) for a Liverpool manager since 1959, edging Graeme Souness’ 41.4% in 1991-94.
• The first Liverpool manager to win fewer than six of his first 18 league games in charge since George Kay only won five back in 1936.
Well OC- just the man to take them back into the champion****ttttttttte.
I wish people would read posts properly! I said quite clearly that 'he may not have got the best results as a manager', and I was commenting more on his personal qualities as opposed to louts like Big Sam.
I would personally agree with the thread title, because Hodgson is very much a long term team-builder and would give some stability to a roller-coaster club like Palace, but I agree that he's an anachronism in the modern game and won't be given a chance.
His recent club win rate is near 40% with Liverpool actually his best effort, so if he wins 14 of the next 34 that's 42 points and safety
Fulham 30 December 2007 -1 July 2010. - 39.1
Liverpool 1 July 2010 -8 January 2011 -41.9
West Bromwich 14 February 2011-14 May 2012 -37.0
England 14 May 2012 27 June 2016 -58.9
But he hasn't done much since leaving England apart from a sojourn to Melbourne. A two year contract hardly says much about this being long term. Meanwhile Frank gets £5M for 77 days work.
Palace management seems to be dysfunctional. Given the next four games include three top teams will Roy go if they lose them all??
Wasn't Hodgson in charge of the England team that capitulated to Iceland ? After that debacle he should never be allowed near any football team again....ever. But if Palace want to let him loose on their team, well best of luck with that.
