Roy Hodgson managed only seven wins out of 20 league games after taking over from Rafael Benitez in July last year

Roy Hodgson seems a thoroughly decent man, which is why I genuinely feel sorry for him parting company with Liverpool Football Club. If only the team played as well as Roy spoke at his press conferences, I think he’d still be in a job.

Goodbye Roy, thanks for trying. I won’t miss seeing your trying to rub the skin off your face.
