If you could pick just one thing.....?
« on: September 08, 2010, 11:27:15 AM »
I may be jumping the gun a tad here, but let's presume Gerrard Houllier becomes our new manager.  What is the single thing you would most like him to change?  I wouldn't call it a priority as such, as player trading can't happen until Jan at the earliest, but if you had his ear and could ask for one thing, what would it be?

I've listed the common gripes during Martin's tenure, but if anyone has anything else please shout and I'll add it to the poll.

Technical coaching for me.

Heskey will go eventually.

The squad will be rotated.

Foriegn players will be bought if the club want them.

We are capable of attractive football on occasion.

I don't want us to sign foreign players purely because they're foreign.  They have to be good enough. And if they're good enough it doesn't matter where they come from.

But I'd like to think we will no longer refuse to even consider players purely because they're foreign (or have no experience of British football) which appeared to be the case under O'Neill.

More attractive football.

We're never going to win the league but we should at least be treated to some decent football while we pitch for 5th place. I don't think Houlier will be the man for creating a swashbuckling, 1977-style Villa side though.

Oh, and taking the Uefa cup seriously. This is something I think Houlier may be able to help with

I'd like the one thing to be that James Milner is Houllier's love child and he kicks up a stink at Man City and comes back.

Apart from that, exciting football.

Find the key to turning 4 or 5 of those draws into wins and somehow educate the fans that can't tell the difference between a football club and a soap opera.

I know the difference!  One's the most miserable, least entertaining thing on TV, watched by misery arses with no lives, and the other's Eastenders.
