John Thompson: Disjointed, dispirited, heartless - Liverpool FC’s on-field crisis continues
AND so a three-year crisis off the field has now been joined by a three-month crisis on it. Roy Hodgson has been in the post as manager of Liverpool for less than 100 days.[LNB]Yet already there are diehard supporters on the Kop who have clearly lost faith in him, as well as some who had little or none to begin with.[LNB]On Saturday a viral text message in the name of Reds supporter Graham Agg, who has long since established a special relationship with supporters of Borussia Monchoengladbach, Liverpool's EuropeanŠ foes in two friendly finals of the 70s, was circulated.[LNB]It said:Š 'The Liverpool FC hierarchy need to accept they have made a mistake of monumental proportions and dismiss Hodgson forthwith.[LNB] 'Kenny Dalglish has the aura, charisma, knowledge and knows the club inside out. And above all he commands respect and is a winner.[LNB]'He should be immediately appointed the next manager of LFC.[LNB]'Hodgson is out of his depth and talks as though we are Fulham and not the European giant we truly are.[LNB]'Hodgson must be shown the door now.'[LNB]Whatever you think of those acerbic sentiments - premature, grossly unfair, or even spot on - you can't today accuse Agg of relying on hindsight for his forthright view.[LNB]Because by Sunday evening, as Blackpool's players danced on the Anfield turf, it was clear there were a fair few people inside the place who agreed with him.[LNB]Of course, a chunk of the fans' current frustration is rooted in the whole ownership crisis and all they have been through with it.
