So no mention of why his life was hell or why he was banished to the reserves?

I think he has done really well this year but if you are going to slag a manager off then at least tell us why the nasty man put you in the reserves

I thought the same.

Warnock & Hutton were better v Wigan. Wasn't hard though.

It was Warnock's fault he fell out with Houllier.
It was Dunne's fault he fell out with Houllier.
It was Collins' fault he fell out with Houllier.
It was Gabby's fault he fell out with Houllier.
It was Carew's fault he fell out with Houllier.
It was Ireland's fault he fell out with Houllier.
It was Beye's fault he fell out with Houllier.

Houllier is in no way shit at managing relationships with his players, nosireebob.

I don't give a shit whose fault it was, I want players standing up and doing their best for Aston Villa. I'm delighted Warnock has come back fighting, he was one of MON's best signings, a proper footballer but he only really showed it for 6 months.

You'd have thought Warnock would have embrassed the shift by Houllier to drag us forward to 21st century football. Sadly, he had history with Houllier and opted for the easy option. At least he's shown some respect for Kevin McDonald, a coach that can also help us stop playing shite football from years gone past but to do that, he needs Warnock and others to give 100%. He may have a point though about players taking more responsibility in the dressing room. They're not kids, they're paid a fortune, if they're standing up and fighting for the cause then I'll be more than happy.

Keep the sleeves rolled up, Stephen and show us just how good you can be.

While I'm happy with Warnock's recent return to decent form I still hold him accountable for some shocking half-hearted displays over the last few years.  His attitude and lack of concentration cost us many points and in my mind a SF place in last season's League Cup.  It's easy to see why both MON and GH gave him the cold shoulder treatment the way they did.

He will need to keep up this form to win me over fully as he is still way overdrawn in the forgive and forget department.

Do they wait until they have one half decent game to come out with this stuff?  He was good against Wigan but it's  one game in 18 months by my reckoning. 

To be fair he hasn't really 'put the boot' in anyway.

There is not really any criticism of Houllier in that article.
In fact the most telling thing is Warnocks praise of Kevin McDonald saying how he kept him and Habib Beye going through it all. Well done Kevin Mac, a 50% success rate.

That's what I thought - no real sticking in of the boot, just says he wasn't happy to be training with the reserves, which is good to hear.

It's Mat Kendrck's interpretation i.e. 'after falling out with the former boss'.

Face it guys, we are so well rid of GH.

Detest Warnock I really do. He is such a poor full back largely due to the amount of time he spends diving in and giving away freekicks. I think against Newcastle at home I counted 10 near our box all down to him. Liability. Houllier knew he was not good enough, and had standards higher than Warnock.

We can try to convince ourselves that we are better off without Houllier. But the real reason why so many of our players are happy to see the back of him is that he wanted them to leave the 1990-ies mentality of English football which involved six days of slack and 90 minutes of mindless gung-ho with no game-plan every week. Despite his flaws, Houllier knew that the players needed to train hard, use their head during training and matches and play with some composure and sophistication if they wanted to be successful. Sadly, a lot of our players were never comfortable with that.

Wonder if Houllier ever pissed himself off last season.
