In a nutshell. He was appointed Liverpool Manager in summer of 2009. He was fired in early January 2010 just shortly before we were due to play Manchester United in the F.A. Cup 3rd Round. . At the time he left, after 19 Premier League games in charge, so half a season. Liverpool were 18th, which is a relegation place. The final straw for a lot of fans was, that in the Merseyside Derby against Everton, we lost 2-0. And, frankly, the scoreline was quite flattering. For Liverpool. We were awful. Yet, Hodgson came out and said, and I quote ''that was our best performance of the season''. So, yeah, his reign at Liverpool is not remembered fondly despite actually doing ok in the Europa League, where he managed to at least get us through the group stage. He's done well elsewhere and is generally regarded as a good manager, great by some and he did actually go on to manage the England national team. But his time at Anfield was a disaster for everyone involved. Didn't help that he was seen as a ''yes man'' to two much maligned owners in Gillette and Hicks at the time. Thankfully Hicks and Gillette left not longer after and we got bought by John Henry. And that's the nutshell version LOL. What a bitch. During his time at Liverpool, certainly. Funnily enough at press conferences he behaved in same way as HHH does when faced with a not so softball question lol. Blackburn Rovers fans don't like him either. But, tbf, he is well regarded elsewhere and the reason he got the job was that in the previous season when he was in charge of Fulham, he got them to a European final and actually had a decent group of players there including a former Liverpool player named Danny Murphy. But enough about him! NXT NXT NXT!

Oh, and Hodgson all presided over an embarrassing defeat to Northampton Town... Are Northampton Town the Detroit Pistons of association football? Worse. There 9 tiers in English football. Northampton were in the FOURTH tier at the time, and IIRC they were struggling as well. Premier League is the top tier. I don't know what the ''tier system'' is in NBA but let's say that Detroit play in the first tier and they lost to, I know, a college team? Or a team that'd be deemed as ''tier four'' by the NBA. That's how embarrassing it was.

Bodyguard on the right should be a new member of the Family. He's got the size. He's got the looks.

Izzi Dame is by far the worst option, so I expect it to be her!
