Hodgson has had an up-and-down season; he was sacked by Liverpool in January, but since then he has taken West Brom to safety after they had slumped alarmingly mid-season under former manager Roberto Di Matteo.
Since Hodgson left Anfield, the Reds have had a complete turnaround in form under new interim boss Kenny Dalglish and are now on the brink of making the Europe League next season after climbing up to fifth.
However, it was only a few years ago that Hodgson was saving Fulham from almost certain relegation, before taking them into the Europe League final where they narrowly lost to Atletico Madrid.
And he has asked reporters to judge him on his whole managerial career, which has seen him manage in Scandinavia and at Inter Milan, before criticising him.
“I would like to have thought that people who studied my career during 36 years wouldn’t have made judgements on good and bad in the space of months,” he told reporters.
“I always remain positive in that respect. I think that in a career that has been as long as mine I’m very satisfied with it myself and I don’t follow the headlines.
“If there are headlines suggesting I’m not very good or headlines that I am very good, I take it all with the same pinch of salt.
“It’s a sad indictment of a 36-year career that after one period which is less than successful, people are making judgments about your ability.
“It makes it a pretty sad world for us people and professionals working in it.”
