From L'Equipe:

Gérard Houllier ne poursuivra pas sa mission à Aston Villa. Le Birmingham Mail annonce que l'entraîneur français et le club de Birmingham se séparent à l'amiable. Une annonce officielle sera faite mercredi. Âgé de 63 ans, l'ancien DTN tricolore s'est plié à l'avis des médecins qui considèrent qu'il est trop risqué pour lui de continuer ce métier. Jeudi, les analyses de ses tests de santé n'ont pas rassuré le corps médical. Gérard Houllier, ancien coach de Lyon et du PSG notamment, était arrivé chez les Villans en septembre dernier et avait signé un contrat de trois ans. Il avait été hospitalisé le 21 avril pour de nouveaux soucis cardiaques et était ressorti de l'hôpital une semaine plus tard. Rappelons qu'il avait déjà subi une opération cardiaque en 2001 lorsqu'il était sur le banc de Liverpool.

The right decision by all parties.Still wonder if there may be a place on the board for him,in an none executive football based position

We're not exactly full at board level with footballing ideas/brains

I reckon It's Benitez,the Madrid lad who's turned down Athletic,any comment Jack!

sad news! the hunt begins and yet another summer with no manager and our top players on the brink

I have a strong suspicion that the new man will be on board before too long

Don't be daft - this will drag on and on - if past experience is repeated. We'll get linked to all and sundry and end up with someone like Curbishley. Let's hope I'm wrong.

I must say Ancelotti would be the one to make the football world sit up and take notice and he would attract the kind of players to make the club attractive. I just can't see it unfortunately.

I think they'll go for Hughes if they get the nod he'd walk out of Fulham.

It's a completely different scenario. Last time was a shock to all concerned with few available candidates.

Do you reckon they'll bother with the interview process this time?

I'd certainly hope so.

Anyway, good luck to Houllier, hope he has a long and healthy retirement.  I won't be sad to see him gone though.

I hope not as no manager employed by another club, and no top class manager would likely agree to it. Do you think Moyes, for instance, would ask his Chairman for permission to attend a Villa interview then go back saying "well, I didn't get the job. Now... can I have a few million to buy a new defender please?". Everton would tell him to get stuffed.

As the male presenter pointed out, "premature" is quite different to "wrong".

On a side issue, Ms Jackson is looking poontangtastic this morning.

I wish GH all the best for the future now the hard work starts here getting the right manager on board I would like Ancelotti to get the job if I'm honest he has won the double with Chelsea and won honors with Milan so I would like him to be given the job let's hope it is sorted out sooner rather than later.

The training facilities at Villa were given the twice over a couple of weeks back and were unexpectedly viewed more recently by someone who raised a few eyebrows.

I'd like Ancelotti, but you can't make someone manage your club against their will no matter how many millions you might offer them.
