Former Liverpool player and manager Graeme Souness has declared the club's current situation "the most difficult period" in its modern history.
Roy Hodgson's side sit in 18th place in the Premier League table after yesterday's shock 2-1 defeat to Blackpool left them on just six points. The turmoil on the pitch is matched in the boardroom as owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks continue to struggle to find a buyer in the face of mounting debts.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Souness - who lifted 15 major honours in his time at Anfield from 1978-1984 - believed the ex-Fulham boss faces the toughest task in more than 50 years.
He said: ''This is the most difficult period in Liverpool's modern history. Roy Hodgson has a great track record as a coach wherever he's been but I think he's taken over at Liverpool at a hard time.
"He probably has the hardest job of any Liverpool manager since Bill Shankly. I think he will get time because the Liverpool supporters always give the manager time but it's a monster job."
