Hodgson asks for time
Roy Hodgson has asked for time to turn things around at Anfield. It's the dawn of a new era in L4 and Hodgson is hoping to be the man who leads Liverpool into the promised land. He hasn't enjoyed the best of starts to his career as Reds boss to say the least, but Hodgson is hoping that with NESV now in place as the new owners and a much improved atmosphere around Melwood, he will quickly be able to turn the season around and get the team climbing the Premiership table. "My appointment here was not taken lightly. Everyone knew it was going to be a difficult. I signed for three years. I have started off trying to do the job and building as best I can," said the boss. "It's a sad day for everything if after a bad start of six or seven games people think the solution is to find someone else with a magic wand. We all know a magic wand solution doesn't exist. "I would be very disappointed if after such a short time – and having been given such a short time – to do the job people decided they wanted to get someone else in. "I don't seriously believe that's the problem at the moment. It's more complicated. I know I can turn the situation around. But I will have to be given support and the patience to do it."
