Fulham's next manager

[Chris]

Roy Hodgson is set to be appointed Liverpool's new manager by Thursday, BBC Sport understands.

The Reds were granted permission to speak to the 62-year-old two weeks ago by his current club Fulham.

Hodgson has also been linked with the England manager's job following the team's humiliating exit from the World Cup but Liverpool have acted quickly.

The Englishman will replace Rafael Benitez in the Anfield hot seat after the Spaniard left at the start of June.

\"Hodgson has always been the number one target of the board at Anfield to replace Benitez,\" said Ian Dennis, BBC Radio 5 live's senior football reporter.

\"After Fulham granted Liverpool permission to speak to Hodgson, it was just a matter of the clubs agreeing a compensation deal for him.\"

Expect Fulham to look at O'Driscoll. If they were to make an approach for him I would expect that he would be interested in the job too.

We're always so full of hope on here aren't we!

Let's hope Mark Hughes is approached...

I don't quite know why you feel I was being negative. There is a chance that Fulham will consider SO'D for the position whether we like it or not. We can't just stick our heads in the sand and expect that it will somehow make any difference.

Doesn't really matter what we think either way.  If SOD goes he goes!!!!!

Absolutely zero chance this will happen. Fulham are an established Premiership team with European ambitions.

[River Don]

No chance.

Fulham are very keen to get Sven aren't they?

I hope you are all right however from the outside looking in, O'Driscoll and Hodgson do seem to have similar management styles and Fulham are likely to look for someone who can simply continue with what RH has started rather than to rebuild completely.

Can't see SoD working for Milan Manderic.
Fulham i am sure he would consider if they wanted him, but i tend to think they will set their sights at a big name.
