Fulham take amusing swipe at Liverpool over treatment of former boss Roy Hodgson
Fulham couldn’t resist a cheeky dig at Liverpool fans over the treatment of former boss Roy Hodgson in their official matchday programme.The 71-year-old was appointed Liverpool manager after guiding the Cottagers to a shock Europa League final in 2010.Roy Hodgson (right) embraces current Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp (left)2

But Hodgson was sacked by Anfield chiefs just six months into his reign, leaving the Reds 12th in the Premier League. He was replaced by club legend Kenny Dalglish, who helped steady the ship.Hodgson is proving his managerial reputation at Crystal Palace, who look set to avoid a second successive top-flight relegation under the former England boss.And despite Hodgson leaving Liverpool eight years ago, Fulhams matchday programme for their 2-1 defeat to Chelsea on Sunday named the veteran manager in The List, a feature section which highlights three people who would have fared better had they stayed at Craven Cottage.Roy Hodgson won just seven of his 20 Premier League games as Liverpool boss2

The amusing article, which will add anticipation to Liverpool’s trip to Fulham on March 17, reads: He (Hodgson) was given a frosty reception on his subsequent appointment at Liverpool, with fans being unmoved by his success with smaller provincial clubs like Inter Milan.Realising that Roy was not going to win the league immediately and angered by his failure to buy the world’s best players, who would obviously jump at the chance to sign for the team that had dominated Europe a mere three decades earlier, fans quickly lost patience.Demonstrating the cool-headed pragmatism that has endeared them to the footballing public, the Liverpool faithful demanded Roy’s replacement be an exciting young manager befitting the club’s stature.Setting the time circuits to 1991, the club’s executives piled into the waiting DeLorean and floored it to ’88, returning with a fresh-faced and energetic Kenny Dalglish, ready to usher in a new era of dominance spearheaded by future club legend Andy Carroll, a shrewd purchase at just 35m. Unfortunately, however, Alex Ferguson and Wayne Rooney recovered the time machine, went back to 1991, stole the Sports Almanac and brutally laid out Jan Molby at the ‘Enchantment Under the Sea’ dance.This left the club with no option but to drag present day Kenny out of the pub and into the dugout, skewing the timeline and culminating in an underwhelming eighth-place finish and Kenny’s departure (again).Dalglish actually guided Liverpool to sixth in that season before winning the EFL Cup in the 2011/12 campaign. He was sacked in May 2012 and succeeded by Brendan Rodgers.
