Media positive til Hodgson

Hodgson's affable, ego-free nature will have an uplifting impact on Liverpool off the pitch just as his time-honoured ability to produce well-balanced units will help the club on it.
Henry Winter, Daily Telegraph

He has earned huge respect - and not only from those inside football. When Fulham beat Hamburg to reach the Europa League final, his arrival at his after-match press conference was greeted with the rare accolade of spontaneous applause from assembled journalists, such was the scale of his achievement... It ranks alongside Inter Milan as the biggest job in Hodgson's career - but his work at Fulham alone suggests he is up to the task.
Phil McNulty, BBC Sport's chief football writer

He is dignified, authoritative, intelligent, and most important of all, he is a man who knows how to work with the tools he has been given to get the best out of a situation.

Roy Hodgson deserves that backing, too, because he is clearly more than just a "flavour of the month."The 2010/11 campaign could be a pivotal one in Liverpool's fortunes. But Roy Hodgson is a safe pair of hands to guide them through it.
David Prentice, Liverpool Echo

Hodgson's experience, his common sense and straight talking were just as important as his track record for tactics, motivation and getting the best out of players.
Richard Tanner, Daily Express

Highly respected figure in the global football community has [in fact] enhanced his reputation since he took over at Fulham in December 2007.
James Pearce, Liverpool Echo

His European pedigree and success in transforming Fulham's fortunes on a modest budget made him the favoured choice of the Anfield hierarchy.
Andy Hunter, The Guardian

So Liverpool have taken the sensible course of not chasing Marcello Lippi or Frank Rijkaard but hiring a sage who understands every nuance of the English game...an appointment straight out of the old Liverpool school of wisdom.
