Under-pressure Liverpool boss says he's in it for long haul :slap:
Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson insists he is at Anfield for the long haul after coming under pressure in the job.
The former Fulham boss took over at Anfield in the summer but has overseen a poor start to the domestic campaign, with the Reds taking just six points from their opening eight games to sit second from bottom of the table.
The veteran boss insists he is a fighter and he will battle to turn around the fortunes of the club on the pitch.
Hodgson told Sky Sports News: "You read these ridiculous websites that we have and resignation has never once entered my thought and, what's more, never will.
I pride myself on being a bit of a fighter, I pride myself on being able to stand the bad times.
"I've had a lot of good times recently - Barclays Manager of the Year last year, great accolades here and there and everywhere - I realise in football you don't get the accolades all the time, sometimes you have to bite the bullet and fine.
"I'm here for the long haul, I'm here to do a good job, I came believing I can help Liverpool rebuild and get going again, the players are very much behind everything we're doing."
