Bolton boss Coyle hopes Liverpool stick with Hodgson

Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle hopes Liverpool stick with Roy Hodgson if they beat them today.

Coyle knows he can shove Liverpool chief Roy Hodgson closer to the exit door with a win over the Reds.

Asked about his ominous record this season, Coyle said: "I don't like the sound of that but it's the nature of football.

"Every week, managers are losing their jobs. Last week, it was Mark Hughes who was under pressure and then it was Mick McCarthy.

"They earned magnificent results and now it's somebody else's turn.

"But nothing changes in my belief that Roy's an outstanding manager. He's shown that before and will show it again.

"It's a difficult time but unless you are top of the league, you will be under scrutiny.

"We are an easy target but we all know what we work under as a football manager."
