What a ridiculous suggestion- we are in a mess right now and need to pull through this- houllier out posters and protests would only help the likes of carew, Ireland and dunne who are more a cause of our mess than houllier.

NO to organised protest-

The casual / walk up fan will stop going until we turn the corner-

The team and management will have got the message strong and clear
from the away support yesterday ..............let's hope there is a positive
reaction over the next few matches

I think that's already happened - have we had a sell-out this season yet?

While you're buying your "Houllier Out" placards see if they will throw in some "Allardyce Out" ones as a job lot to save money.

NO, I don't want to see a protest. Get behind the lads and lets hope we can beat Sunderland when we play then at VP. A protest will harm our players confidence and give the airheads on Sky Sports News something to report for days and days.

How fucking sad would that be. Are we destined to become like Newcastle supporters?

I'm going to assume that you weren't the bare-chested lad near me in the front row at Eastlands yesterday. He was having a whale of a time. Which is quite an appropriate metaphor.

Did the ball hit him in the face several times, was his ticket for a seat that wasn't there and did he trip over and break his leg on the way out?

Will we all walk slowly and arrive ten minutes late to a game we were going to anyway wearing some special chocolate and sky blue scarves?

Fuck me sideways! At least Newcastle, Man U and Liverpool fans almost had some cause to their protests rather than throwing a bit of a hissy fit about the manager. I'll save my protests until we sack Houllier and imply Joking Here to replace him. There are clubs that have had far, far worse turmoil and crises than we are having.

The way to go as others have said so far is to go utterly the opposite way. Get beyond our lads (we might not back or like them all; I know I don't) and put some energy behind them, fill the ground for the Sunderland game and make a wall of noise. Admittedly, they might still let us down but lets not give them an excuse.

No, no, no!

As shit as we are playing an organised protests can do nothing but harm our already brittle confidence and almost certainly see us on the end of another defeat - something we can ill afford.

And not sure Lerner is going to pay any attention; if he was going to bin Houllier surely it would have been this morning after that pile of whirl served up at Eastlands yesterday.

Not a chance. Houllier might have had a shocking start but thats all it is. A Start. I would hope we are all mightily pissed off & worried with the current state of things but this is a time to show the palyers what this club means. The modern day footballler might not give a monkeys while they count their cash but if the fans go the same way it's game over.
