Liverpool's 2010-11 squad under Roy Hodgson: Where are they now?
After guiding Fulham to the Europa League final, Roy Hodgson arrived to take over at Liverpool as Rafael Benitez's successor on July 1, 2010, but it was a dream job that quickly turned into a nightmare.
Top of his to-do list was keeping the club's best players -- Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres and Javier Mascherano -- but, with debts of £350 million, the club let Mascherano leave for Barcelona in the summer and by October the chaotic reign of owners Tom Hicks and George Gillet had ended as Fenway Sports Group swooped in with a takeover bid.
