What happened to the Liverpool player Roy Hodgson accidentally sold to Fulham by mistake

Roy Hodson’s reign at Liverpool was nothing short of disastrous.

He lasted just 20 games at Anfield and was sacked with just five wins to his name in six months.

He left the club just four points above the relegation zone.

Ask Liverpool supporters to remember the Hodgson era and they will likely shudder at the thought of his spell in 2010.

Whether it was the defeat to League Two Northampton at Anfield in the League Cup in which he claimed the Cobblers would be “a formidable challenge” ahead of the tie.

Or perhaps it was when he had “qualms” about Liverpool’s performance during a 2-0 defeat in the Merseyside derby.

“That was as good as we have played all season, and I have no qualms with the performance whatsoever,” he said.

Maybe it was the fact he admitted Liverpool were in a relegation battle after seven Premier League matches.

“There are 31 games left but when you are in the relegation zone you are in a relegation battle,” he admitted.

Hodgson just wasn’t cut out to manage a club of Liverpool’s size.

But Liverpool supporters may not be aware of everything that happened OFF the pitch during Hodgson’s reign. Most notably, when he accidentally sold the wrong player.

No, really.

After arriving in the summer of 2010, Hodgson raided his former club, Fulham, for Paul Konchesky. The less said about that £3.5 million signing the better…

As part of the deal, Lauri Dalla Vale and Alexander Kacaniklic went to Craven Cottage.

However, according to Kacaniklic, Hodgson wanted to sell a different Alex and not him.

“It was a bit difficult for Liverpool to replace me, but when I was in Fulham and before I signed up, I had a conversation with Roy Hodgson on the phone, where we found out that he had chosen the wrong Alex,” said
