Hodgson has ‘no fear’ of axe as he plots Pool turnaround

LIVERPOOL manager Roy Hodgson does not fear for his job and is confident owners New England Sports Ventures will back him as he tries to turnaround the club’s recent decline.

The 63-year-old has been under almost constant scrutiny since replacing Rafael Benitez in July as early results left the Reds in the Premier League’s bottom three for several weeks.

Things have picked up in recent weeks but Saturday’s defeat at Newcastle did not help.
