However, his appointment was a disaster and he departed just six months later as the Liverpool manager with the lowest win percentage (35%) in Premier League history.He made plenty of mistakes, far too many to count in all honesty, but he has now revealed what Jamie Carragher said to him just after he was sacked.Photo by Alex Livesey/Getty ImagesJamie Carragher told Roy Hodgson he made a mistakeThe leaders of Liverpool at that time were Steven Gerrard and Carragher, two players who commanded a lot of respect.When they spoke, everyone listened, and they were also not afraid to share how they were really feeling with the group.This was proven after Hodgson got sacked as Carragher told him exactly what he did wrong, with the former Liverpool manager now revealing what was said.“I always remember what Carragher said to me when I was leaving,” Hodgson said on The Managers Podcast.“He came in, he and Steven had come in to say goodbye and wish me luck and wish me well.
