There seems to be a tangible renewed air of goodwill circulating around Liverpool Football Club at the moment, thanks chiefly to the appointment of the ever-affable Roy Hodgson in the Anfield hotseat.In three short weeks, Hodgson has quickly restored a lot of the ‘accessibility’ to the club that former incumbent Rafa Benitez seemed to work so tirelessly to dissipate by consistently portraying his side as besieged bastions of martyrdom to anyone who’d listen.
Whereas Benitez was, on occasion, divisive and alienating with his players, contemporaries and the media alike, Hodgson is outwardly open, frank and accommodating – three characteristics that can go along way in terms of building a positive image in the public consciousness, and incidentally three characteristics that you’d struggle to ascribe to his predecessor.
