Roy Hodgson admits he has no idea what will happen at Liverpool if the club is sold

In the dark: New Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson says he is still in the dark as to what will happen if new owners take over the club and says his main task at the moment is to keep the squad together. The future ownership of the club is as uncertain as ever despite a fortnight of intense activity last month that still failed to see a proper bid for the club materialise. For Hodgson, who took over from Rafael Benitez in July and was then forced to sell Javier Mascherano to Barcelona, his main aim has been to avoid having to rebuild the playing squad completely. He insists that remains the case until new owners take over the club and give him money to spend on new players. Hodgson told the LMA's magazine The Manager: 'The club is up for sale and nobody knows what direction it will take if and when new owners are found. 'A few years ago when the situation was far more stable, the money to buy new players was available. 'I hope the situation will change when the club is eventually sold and owners who are prepared to invest in the club come in. 'When that situation arises I'm pretty sure that it won't be difficult for us to start achieving things again but at the moment the task is really to hang on to the players we've got and make certain we don't have a situation where we have got a total rebuilding process.'
