Liverpool icon Dalglish: Hodgson faces massive task

Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish admits Roy Hodgson faces a big task to take the club back to the top.

In his new book, 'My Liverpool Home: Then and Now', being serialised in the Mirror, King Kenny wrote: "Roy must know he has walked into a world of uncertainty at Anfield, and until Liverpool are sold, the situation won't settle down.

"Even then, people always feel ­uncertain when they have a new employer. What decisions will the new buyer make? Will he keep people? Will he want his own men in? Roy understands the situation.

"At his press conference, he was asked how he would cope when a new owner arrives.

"His answer was very good: 'I'm the same as everybody else. If I'm getting results, I've got a better chance of keeping my job.'

"Roy knows I'll help him in any way I can. ­Liverpool Football Club are much more important than I am, or Roy Hodgson, ­Christian Purslow or Martin Broughton."
