This week's 'do as I say' award winner

Football 'pundit' Mark Lawrenson was once again doing his bit for the football managers' union by condemning the sacking of Roberto Di Matteo by West Bromwich Albion.

Admittedly the sacking was a fairly ruthless response to a dip in form of the team Di Matteo had led to the Premier League.

However I would have taken Mark Lawrenson's position a little more seriously if he had not been so emphatic in his view that Roy Hodgson should leave his beloved Liverpool after a difficult start to the campaign, not helped by uncertainty higher up the Liverpool hierarchy.

Of course it always looks different when it is closer to home.
