Will GH last the season?

[Risso]

Mid-table mediocrity awaits this season.

If only.

I would consider it the height of irresponsibility to sack anyone with 9 games to go whether we are either be as good as safe 3 games from now or sucked right down into it .

This club is not located in the north east of england, and our owners name isnt Mike.

[Villa'Zawg]

3 wins and a draw taking 10 points from our first 6 games of the season, is the level of form this group of players is capable of.
 
Since then we've taken 23 points from 23 games. If he can't get this squad of players to beat Wolves at home there is no reason to suspect we'll do better in the remaining 8 games and he should go.

Utter rubbish villadawg! Sacking a manager now would be totally crazy- god help us if we lose to wolves with the knee-jerk reactions of some people.

Now more than ever we need to stay strong and hold firm - it's no time for breaking ranks.

[Chris Smith]

He won't be sacked. Anyone thinking otherwise really hasn't been paying attention.

I don't think you can call reacting badly to losing at home to Wolves after the season we have had "knee-jerk".

The likes of Van Gaal will be available in the summer and assuming we scrape by and stay up, we should review our options then

But the thread is not about what you want to happen but what you think WILL happen.

I expect us to stay up and GH be given the opportunity to shift out those surplus to requirements and work with a group of players of his own choosing.

You know as well as me chris , that defeat on Saturday  and this site would go into meltdown- we could win and be into 11 th place , the table is tight , some people are reacting to houllier as though everything is down to him - it's not , it's down to him, randy , mon , the players and injuries - a combination of all.

We need to stick together and get through this , I hope and pray we tank wolves on Saturday and can begin to look ahead .

[WikiVilla]

Ok yes he will see the season out
I then think there will be a review by RL

Yes it will be ugly on here if we lose but it will not be a knee-jerk reaction will it? They've been at it for months.

If he was going to be sacked, he'd have gone already.  He'll be here for the rest of the season for certain.  Depending on how that pans out will have a big say on what happens in the summer I reckon.  Get a few wins, play some nice football and finish in relative comfort and I think he'll be kept on and backed in the summer.

Get relegated and he'll obviously be on his way.

If we keep losing but just manage to not be quite as bad as three other teams and I'm not sure how it'll end up.

[WikiVilla]

Commecial & ST sales in the summer will also be a measure RL looks at

I'm convinced GH is driving support away from B6

[eastie]

I take your point chris ,I myself have been guilty of overreacting in the heat of emotion after a defeat and now try to take at least a couple of hours before visiting a post match thread.

For me nothing would give me greater pleasure on Saturday than to hear houlliers name sung in a positive manner at a time when we are 4-0 up - wishful thinking maybe?

[eastie]

Well wiki, they can have no complaints next season if cup gates are very low , that's for sure.
