With Chelsea losing to Wolves 0-1 and Liverpool losing to Blackburn 1-3, do you think it is time to call time on Ancelotti and Hodgson!! Wolves seem to be on a big run with the top guns after beating Liverpool and now Chelsea!! Meanwhile Manchester United is already clearing some space in it's trophy cabinet after Man City and Arsenal played out a draw!! Cheers! Ram

I know we should not blame Hodgson for the whole thing,but it is absolutely time for Liverpool to make a change.And it is always a first step to vary the team's coach

I agree with your observations. But I hope Liverpool does not have a downward spiral like Leeds United. Cheers! Ram

I think for Liverpool there are enough managers including their own ex manager Rafa Benitez :) Cheers! Ram

Looking at the results Liverpool have had under Hodgson it doesnt look good. The only problem I can see for Liverpool is who they would choose to replace Roy

Especially for Liverpool, it is clear that Hodgson has failed. Maybe he will be sacked soon. I am not sure about Ancelotti. He has something to prove. Because Chelsea is still strong in the Champions League. They can still reach, at least, the 4th position in the table (competing with Tottenham). Number 1,2,3 will go to MU, City, Arsenal respectively.

Yes, they are still there in the CL position. But, I do not think Abrahamovic will settle for that. Unless Ancelotti can do a Rafa Benitez and win the Champions League, I think his position is under threat!! Cheers! Ram

Yeah its always amazing to see Manu coming from nowhere but they still reach the top again without any struggle.They have soo good fortune that even the other fixtures are going their way! I think no force can stop Manu from becoming champions this year. Well for Ancelotti and Hodgson i think they dont have the potential to become champions for Ancelotti last year was a fluke!! clear fluke! even their fans tell now that last year Chelsea were champions only because ancelotti and Chelsea were lucky! As far as for Hodgson,he should be sacked now because the teams performance has been fluctuating there hasn't been consistency,if they sack him before transfer season i will not be shocked.Ancelotti should be given another chance because as he has proven why he should be their manager before ans the owner also has belief,i think he will stay

Yes, there is not doubting that Hodgson has failed. For Ancelotti the jury is out. I agree with you that Chelsea were at times lucky last year, but any League winning team goes through a phase when it is lucky. As far as Man U is concerned, their ability to win even when they play poorly is the difference with teams such as Arsenal and Chelsea this season. Cheers! Ram

Maybe it has, but I always said that a manager's work has to be examined after a season, not after 22 match days.Of course, both of the teams are below expectations, but there are seasons and seasons. As far as I know, Alex Ferguson hasn't won anything in his first six years at United, so if both of this trainers will be sacked, then it will be once again a sign that the owners don't know anything about football.

In an ideal world you are right. But with so much money riding on finishing in the Champions League positions, clubs usually do not allow for a season to go by before taking action!! Cheers! Ram

i will be so glad if chelsea miss out on silverware this year because at this stone age in football why has it taking them long to sack the manager its really a sad thing in todays football but if u cannot get the best out from a bunch of stars then go some where else

I agree. It is funny as Roman has been quick to dismiss his managers for much less than this!! Cheers! Ram
