My considered opinion is that we have already tried 1) and gone broke and tried 2) Pardewed and nearly been relegated. Personally I hate the idea of 3) I think 4) is the only viable option for the foreseeable future and Hodgson is the best we can get to achieve that. I have not heard anyone propose a viable alternative. Maybe a pinch of actions from 1),2) and 4)

Won our most league games, scored our highest number of goals and acheived our most points in a season since being promoted. Not forgetting that we beat the champs in their own ground! For me we were just missing that clinical striker for most of the season and if we'd had that or converted more of our many chances at home then we'd been top half. I think that had we beat the Weed and one other at home then we'd all be saying what a brilliant season. I think Roy's done a great job especially as he's had limited funds to spend since he's been here.

Edited by ChrisGC (03 Jun 2019 2.32pm) The truth is that Klopp plays positive football, and never won anything with Liverpool. This time, he switched to Roy's mode, and won the Cup...
