I think people have confused sentiment with evidence. Yes, we revere Sid and he was one of the most naturally gifted players it's been our privilege to have at the club, but if he's not cutting the mustard as a first team coach then that's different. Sid the player and Sid the man can still be loved, but that's no reason to keep him in the position if we need new ideas.
both Houllier and Mac sit on the bench like they are waiting for a fucking bus. Its embarassing, the whole thing is a shambles

What I meant was that just like when the team wins or loses, in turn the coaching staff must bear responsibility. We can't 'absolve' Sid because he's a Villa hero and the others aren't.
Thats why Houllier is paid the £3m+ p a the buck stops here
