Supporters have added over
10,000 signatures to an online petition directed at owners Fenway Sports Group - led by John Henry and Tom Werner - calling for Hodgson to be removed immediately.
The accompanying letter,
which runs to almost 3,000 words, lists the reasons why they want the former Fulham boss to be booted out.
The letter is divided into sections highlighting Hodgson's perceived weaknesses, headlined 'Inexperience at the top level', 'Relationship with the fans/Communication with the media', 'Signings' and 'Statistics' before concluding with a final 'Please Act Now' plea.
It starts: 'The undersigned plead with you to relieve our great club’s current manager, Mr Hodgson, of his duties immediately.
'Upon purchase of the club, a key promise you made was to engage with and listen to the fans – we very much hope this was with a view to acting on issues we feel tremendously strongly about.
'Indeed all have been impressed with your approach to managing the club and handling of the media to date, however now is the time to take swift and decisive action in respect of a matter vital to our progression.
'This is not simply an unconsidered reaction following the loss to Wolves yesterday evening, though this was clearly an unacceptable result, but a culmination of events over the past six months.
'Liverpool fans are widely regarded as knowledgeable and, crucially, extremely patient, and so the fact recent polls show that in excess of 95% wish to see Mr Hodgson removed from his position is evidence enough that it is time to fulfil your promise. Can a majority this overwhelming be ignored and, more importantly, all incorrect in their views?'
