Roy Hodgson insists his Anfield arrival will not stop him quaffing wine with Sir Alex Ferguson – even if he has to do it in secret.
New Liverpool boss Hodgson is big mates with Ferguson and insists his friendship will not be affected by the biggest rivalry in English football. Ferguson famously feuded with previous Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez as their mutual loathing exploded.
But Hodgson is adamant that the scrap for a record 19th title will not see him fall out with Ferguson.
He joked: “I know Sir Alex is not really a Liverpool fan so I’m a bit concerned about my relationship with him.
“I sincerely hope he forgives me for moving North and will welcome the fact that we can have a glass of wine, maybe in secret, together.
“I’ve always believed you don’t have battles with other managers. Football teams battle with football teams, clubs battle with clubs.”
