Roy Hodgson<\/a> has laughed off attempts by the media to criticise his managerial record.<\/p>\nHodgson has had an up-and-down season; he was sacked by Liverpool in January, but since then he has taken West Brom to safety after they had slumped alarmingly mid-season under former manager Roberto Di Matteo.<\/p>\n
Since Hodgson left Anfield, the Reds have had a complete turnaround in form under new interim boss Kenny Dalglish and are now on the brink of making the Europe League next season after climbing up to fifth.<\/p>\n
However, it was only a few years ago that Hodgson was saving Fulham from almost certain relegation, before taking them into the Europe League final where they narrowly lost to Atletico Madrid.<\/p>\n
And he has asked reporters to judge him on his whole managerial career, which has seen him manage in Scandinavia and at Inter Milan, before criticising him.<\/p>\n
“I would like to have thought that people who studied my career during 36 years wouldn’t have made judgements on good and bad in the space of months,” he told reporters.<\/p>\n
“I always remain positive in that respect. I think that in a career that has been as long as mine I’m very satisfied with it myself and I don’t follow the headlines.<\/p>\n
“If there are headlines suggesting I’m not very good or headlines that I am very good, I take it all with the same pinch of salt.<\/p>\n
“It’s a sad indictment of a 36-year career that after one period which is less than successful, people are making judgments about your ability.<\/p>\n
“It makes it a pretty sad world for us people and professionals working in it.”<\/p>\n
West Brom are at home on Sunday against relegation threatened Wolverhampton Wanderers in a Black Country derby and will hope to continue their current good run which seen them lose just once in their last 10 outings.<\/p>\n
