HE IS STILL HERE

Yes the title says it all. Speculations are flying in hot that he could be fired today, but up till date, NOTHING IS HAPPENING.

In case you don't know who I'm referring to, it's none other than our "beloved" Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson.

Yes, the one that everyone's calling his head for. The one that everyone is looking to get sacked. The one that they hope not to see during Liverpool's next big FA Cup game against Manchester United.

Well, almost everyone.

There are still some people out there who still believes that Roy needs time. Legends are starting to come out to voice their support for a manager who is tearing their club apart. Even Ian Rush has voiced his support for Roy.

Yet 98% of the fans want him out. Anfield is starting to be empty. The away side of the opponents stadium that we play in is getting empty too, especially the recent match at Ewood Park. Fans are starting to show their frustration of Roy not being sacked, and as long as he's there, fans will not pay their hard earned money to watch hoof and wait. Who knows, one day they might even decide to boycott an entire match altogether. I'd like to see that happen.

Thing is, we don't want it to happen. We are Liverpool supporters, and we're proud of the team we support. We don't want to write another bad history in the LFC record books, when LFC has already failed to preserve many histories that should have been easily kept. Defeats to Stoke, Wolves and Northampton has broken unwanted records; attendance during the Bolton game was one of the lowest since 1997. Who wants all these? No fans do. Yet, it's all there, old ones broken, unwanted new ones are created. No thanks to him.

At the same time, the new owners are not doing anything. Recent speculation is that they are not happy, but not sacking him at the same time. Perhaps due to the tight schedule, 'cause after MU we have Blackpool and Everton - teams that could possibly do a double over us. That is perhaps understandable to some extend, but keeping Roy at the dugout is not going to make any difference either.

Enough said. Bottomline: He has to go BEFORE the MU game. And I said "before", because if he's still manager, Liverpool will DEFINITELY crash out of the FA Cup. If Liverpool change their manager now, they might still have a chance. And perhaps that manager could save Liverpool's season. Fingers cross on that though.

I guess only Sir Alex wants him to stay, 'cause only then will he be in the knowledge that Liverpool will continue to struggle, and that he'll have one rival less to compete with for the BPL title (as Spurs and City are on a rise). He'll also be guaranteed that his side will go through the FA Cup with EASE.

Every morning, I wale up, turn on SkySports, hoping to see him get fired. I can only hope that day will come QUICK.
