Out of :

Roy Hodgsen : Liverpool below expectations, 4 points from the drop zone

Carlo Anncelotti : Not even in top 4, and only 10 points from 10 games

Avram Grant : Sights on mid table, bottom of table

Gerard Houllier : Wanting Uefa cup spot, fighting to stop the drop

Personally I think Hodgsen will go first because Liverpool have Daglish as cartaker

Who do you think?

Roy Hodgson overnight for me. I really like him but he just is not performing there. Realistically could be any of them though.

Depends who John Henry and Roman Abramovich are entertaining tonight. I think Grant will stay probably until it is too late to enter the transfer window. Hodgson and Ancellotti look like dead men walking.

Roy Hodgson deserves a proper amount of time. The squad needs a lot of work and he needs atleast this season and then the summer to put together a proper team. When you've got to play rubbish like Lucas in the central midfield, what are you expecting? He is being let down by Benitez old boys, and it is going to take time to get rid of them. It needs a total turn around, but Roy is the man to do it.

The problem is replacing someone who has done a good job. Though Benitez's last couple of seasons were tosh, he had a long reign and he had changed the entire mentality of the club. It takes time and new players to change that, and I always think it's better to let someone else try and manage a club after someone like Benitez. Much like whoever replaces Alex Ferguson at Man Utd, I think you'd be stupid to take that job on. Let someone else try, probably fail, and then take over with less expectation.

Disagree as I think that he was the wrong man in the first place he is best suited to the ordinary premiership clubs like Fulham, Wigan, Blackburn, Birmingham etc clubs with the hope of staying up but no expectation of winning anything.

Has Roy Hodgson ever won anything, BG? I think we both know that he's managed one of the biggest clubs in Europe, and is the most diversely experienced manager in the Premier League. He is good enough for Liverpool, they're just incredibly arrogant about how good they think they are. When he took over, their ownership was a joke and they had a squad to match.

I think he is best suited for small clubs with less expectation and also sure Gus will not come into the frame for Chelsea as he is not got a big enough reputation as a manger for Abramovich. More likely somebody like Frank Rikkard (sp) or even Huddink again but full time. Alsofrom Gus's angle is with Chesslsea they can only go one way and he would be associated with that if it happened. Even Man Utd got relegated when the players all got too old together so why not Chelsea.

I understand what you're saying BG. Do we atleast agree that the expectation at Liverpool at the moment is completely unrealistic?

I reckon that Avram is the safest out of that four...if I were Hodgson I would be a little bit worried, don't think the fans like him much any more, the club secretary is probably typing out his UB40 as I post this.

I agree with this. Liverpool have been in decline for 20 years and their squad is packed full of under-achievers, to try to turn that round in six months is asking far too much. Hodgson deserves a proper chance, until summer at least. Whether he'll get it is another matter - Hughton and Allardyce were doing decent jobs and still got the boot. The calls for Dalglish are ludicrous though, he hasn't been a manager for about a decade - how's he going to improve anything?

Houllier's only been in the job for three months, he certainly needs more time. I reckon Grant is safe for a while too - he's just been a good run of games. Ancelloti could be the guy in most danger, which is ludicrous for a bloke who won the Prem last year, who is in the top 5 and still in the CL, but Abramovitch has already shown he has a trigger finger.
