#2 Roy Hodgson at Liverpool – 2010/11
Trending
Roy Hodgson was approached by Liverpool after the departure of Rafa Benitez from the club after 6 relatively quiet seasons in the club’s history, and he promptly accepted the responsibilities of the post.
Right from the start, though, there were really apparent problems in his mindset, as he allowed players like Javier Mascherano and Alberto Aquilani to move elsewhere. Most of the players he signed in the summer transfer window were not top-quality talents, and the impact on the squad morale began to show.
By mid-October, Liverpool was still mired in the early-season relegation battle. They had patchy runs of form and suffered reverses to Tottenham and Stoke after beating Bolton and Chelsea. Roy Hodgson was sacked in mid-January, and Kenny Dalglish was brought in as the interim manager.
