Oh dear thing do seem to be going awry under our new manager.
The article about Ireland needing to work harder (another go public article) in The Guardian allows me to make an educated guess that all is not well between those two. Otherwise why not just keep it behind closed doors. We know players are in the main stupid and egotistical however, this is an intelligent, experienced, articulate manager who goes public on things he shouldn't and has a history of playing boring, negative football despite injuries.
I think we should all get a sense of perspective. We must all remember that Gérard Houllier has vast experience when it comes to hanging on for a result. It's not as if he's got previous when it comes to losing in the 94th minute, is it?
Legend too strong maybe, but he will be remembered for years to come though as a fan favourite. He has been our most consistent and most prolific goal scorer for 4 years, he isn't in the best of form at the moment, but still deserves abit of respect. Which Houllier has not shown.
Goodbye John. Yes you were good now and than but mostly you have been "stealing" money from us.
