<p><br /> Roy Hodgson should have had more time to turn things around at struggling Liverpool, according to former captain Alan Hansen.<br /> </p><p><br /> Speaking about Hodgson's departure Hansen said: "I would have said give him until the end of the season, give him some money. I don't think six months is a period you can turn things around."<br /> </p><p><br /> "I think he inherited a poor squad of players by Liverpool standards, but modern-day football you don't have any time, it's all results based and there's no compassion shown whatsoever."<br /> </p><p><br /> However, player turned pundit Hansen has said that Hodgson's temporary replacement, club legend Kenny Dalglish, will bring the feelgood factor back to Anfield.<br /> </p><p><br /> He said: "Kenny is a great choice. Obviously I'm biased because we've been friends for a long time. I've played under Kenny at Liverpool and he's Liverpool through and through and if you need a caretaker manager, someone to galvanise the crowd and get the players going, Kenny's an ideal choice to take them to the end of the season."<br /> </p><p><br /> Hansen added that he was not surprised that Liverpool's American owners had turned to the Scot, despite the former striker having been out of management since June 2000.<br /> </p><p><br /> On the possibility of Dalglish staying on beyond the end of the season at Anfield, Hansen said: "If Kenny turns things around and did really well then they will have a situation, because Kenny will want the job and quite rightly so."<br /> </p><p><br /> Another former Liverpool player, John Barnes has also expressed his belief that King Kenny could stick with Liverpool, saying: "It is his job to lose and if he does a good job it is very likely he will get a new contract."<br /> </p>
