1998: Takes Blackburn into European competition for the first time since 1995 but Rovers win only two of their final 11 Premier League matches to fail in chase for title. In November, Hodgson is sacked by Blackburn with the club bottom of the Premier League, having taken just nine points from 14 games.
1999: Shortlisted for Austria job. Returns to Inter on April 27 as technical director until the end of the season. Joins Grasshoppers.

Announced as new manager of Liverpool on a three-year contract on 1 July, but things quickly go sour. In September Liverpool are dumped out of the League Cup on penalties at Anfield by League Two side Northampton, while further home defeats to Blackpool and Wolves follow before the end of the year.
2011: The pressure intensifies with a 3-1 defeat to Blackburn at Ewood Park and on Saturday 8 January the club announce Hodgson has left the club by mutual consent.
So,based on Hodgson's records,it seems that he didnt have enjoyable or good spells at bigger clubs,but he did at lesser clubs in smaller leagues such as in Sweden and Denmark. So,without a doubt,I can say that Liverpool's job proves just too big for him. Whatever it is,he is not just the one to blame and in fact,several players have let him down.Though, thanks Roy and his dismissal means a welcomed return for King Kenny.YNWA.
