Fulham are expected to offer manager Roy Hodgson a £2milion bonus so he remains in charge at Craven Cottage.

Hodgson is being targeted by Liverpool as they seek a replacement for the departed Rafael Benitez but the Cottagers are desperate to retain the man that led them to the Europa League final last season.

Fulham owner, Mohamed Al Fayed recently made £1.5billion after selling department store Harrods so he is cashed up and ready to use his funds to further the London club, beginning with the retention of their boss.
