THUMBS UP ... ex-Liverpool boss Gerard Houllier has backed the club's decision to appoint Roy Hodgson as managerFORMER Liverpool boss Gerard Houllier has backed the club's decision to appoint Roy Hodgson as Rafa Benitez's successor.
Ex-Fulham manager Hodgson was unveiled as the new Anfield chief yesterday — and Houllier reckons he is the ideal man to restore the Reds to past glories.
The Frenchman said: "Roy is a great manager, a great man and a football man. I am sure the players will love him.
"He talks football, drinks football and has a great capacity to make teams work together.
"Wherever he has been across Europe, his teams have worked and played for each other and he has made his players improve.
"He is a man with great experience who attends all the big tournaments. He is very close to the people and all I can say is he is the right man for Liverpool."
