Former Fulham manager Roy Hodgson has been appointed Liverpool manager yesterday and he immediately took action in persuading his star players to stay. He had a meeting with Gerrard and Jamie Carragher. He said, "It will be actions more than words, but my talk with them is about how much I want to work with them, how much I want them to stay at the club, how much the club and fans want them to stay and that by staying at the club we can achieve as much success as they could find by leaving the club. That is all I can say to them. Then of course it is a case of making certain with your actions on the the training ground and match days they see you are not just talking but are practising what you preach. I will be trying to persuade them that their future is with the club they love and have always played for. They are more than just Liverpool Football Club players, they are the heartbeat and very much the soul of the team. My hope is that they will give me the benefit of their services, just as they have given other managers the benefit of their services. I hope they won't be tempted, on the back of one disappointing year, to jump ship. I personally can't nail their feet to the floor. I'll try to convince them that if they stay here and have a good season then it's a good club to play for. It is out of my hands to an extent, but I do know the club is anxious to keep the players, I'm very anxious to keep the players. We will do all in our power to keep them. The fans are intelligent and know the situation. They can't expect me to give guarantees they will stay on. The 62-year-old has become the 18th manager in Liverpool's history having accepted a 3-year contract to leave Fulham after 2 and a half successful seasons at Craven Cottage.
Editor's View:
From a Liverpool fan's perspective, I strongly believe Mr. Roy Hodgson will be a responsible Anfield manager and that he can bring the club back up again. Although he faces many tough challenges, I "know" that he will be able to make those challenges into opportunities for Liverpool FC to shine! I wish Mr. Roy Hodgson all the best and to all those at Liverpool Football Club-You'll Never Walk Alone!

What Rafael Benitez said before he left Anfield:
"It is very said for me to announce that I will no longer be manager of Liverpool FC. I would like to thank all of the staff and players for their efforts. I'll keep in my heart the good times I've had here, the strong and loyal support of the fans in the tough times and the love from Liverpool. I have no words to thank you enough for all these years and I am very proud to say that I was your manager. Thank you so much once more and always remember: You'll Never Walk Alone."
