Hodgson wants Liverpool decision before flying out to World Cup

Fulham boss Roy Hodgson will head out to the World Cup this week still waiting to hear whether he is going to be offered the Liverpool vacancy. Hodgson has made it clear to the Anfield hierarchy that he wants his future sorted out before he begins a stint as a pundit in South Africa, reports the Daily Mail.

Hodgson, who took Fulham to the Europa League final last season, feared he was being kept in reserve as Liverpool failed to attract a world-renowned coach such as Louis van Gaal, Guus Hiddink or Marcello Lippi.

But with a growing bandwagon of support for Kenny Dalglish, Liverpool have realised they must move quickly to stop themselves being pressurised into appointing the Scot.

They plan talks with 62-year-old Hodgson in the next 48 hours, while Aston Villa's Martin O'Neill could also be sounded out.

Hodgson is due to fly to South Africa on Wednesday to work as a World Cup pundit for the BBC.
