Red Roy confident he won’t be sacked

(15-12-2010) Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson is confident the club’s new owners have faith in his ability to turn things around at Anfield. The 63-year-old Englishman has been under extreme pressure ever since his appointment in July as early results left the club languishing in the bottom three for several weeks. Things then picked up but last Saturday's 3-1 defeat at Newcastle left many calling for his head. Hodgson however believes he will turn things around given time and the necessary investment. "I don't have any fears, worries or concerns," he said on Tuesday. “The owners have made it perfectly clear they are in it for the long term and they are going to be patient; they realise it is going to take time. They realise we can't turn things around overnight and they also realise that the team I am working with is not the team I put together.”
