Fulham Accept Hodgson Departure
Fulham have accepted that Roy Hodgson will leave to join Liverpool it has been revealed. The Mirror says sources at Fulham confirmed last night they have lost all hope of holding onto Hodgson. A Liverpool board meeting on Friday has rubber-stamped a move for the experienced manager, and formal contact is expected to follow. Fulham are aware of that interest, and after talks with their manager before he prepared to fly out to the World Cup, they are now resigned to losing him. Talks over a contract, security of tenure should there be an Anfield takeover, and size of budget will proceed over the next week, and an official announcement could be made by next Wednesday or Thursday if agreement is reached. Hodgson has spoken to his Fulham board, and conceded that he would find the offer to manage at Liverpool too hard to turn down, despite his affection for the Craven Cottage outfit. Liverpool are ready to double his contract and also provide massive bonuses for a top four finish, which is the minimum requirement this coming season.
