Hodgson unfazed by Rafa threat

LIVERPOOL manager Roy Hodgson does not feel threatened by predecessor Rafael Benitez’s arrival back on Merseyside, admitting it would be “surprising” if the Spaniard was considered the man for the club’s future.

Hodgson has so far failed to win over a large number of fans and speculation about his future has persisted since his side’s woeful start to the season.

Benitez’s departure from Inter Milan after just six months in charge is seemingly imminent and his return to the home he kept on the Wirral this week has led many supporters to step up their campaign for his reinstatement at Anfield.
