I'd be massively disappointed with Houllier. I don't understand the excitment about him - may be because he's foreign... All I remember from his time in England is dross football, shit transfers and constant moaning. It'd be just like getting O'Leary back. And I haven't seen any evidence that he has some miraculous keys to the European academies where he'd pinch the world beaters of the future for Villa. All is just a hipe I think...
The only good thing about him was his last game for France!

You beat me to it, what a strange website. Post anything you want- someone might believe. Someone. Might. Maybe not.

What control and what a finish. Cheers for that tvset. A brief reminder, in the midst of discussions of winter breaks and our potential new managers, of why I occasionally still love football.

He blamed Ginola for that goal, again in a really personal, relentless vindictive way. To the point that Ginola threatened legal action. He regularly seems to bring out the worst in people.

First hint of anything going wrong and it will be anybodies fault but his.

I also read that he was very good mates with DOL. That would make sense on so many levels. Though it might have been DOL who actually said it. The same DOL who is also very good friends with Mourinho, Nelson Mandela and Carla Bruni.

So based on this I'm guessing if Capello came available you wouldn't have him? Nor would you have Laurent Blanc who majestically oversaw a defeat at home to Belarus tonight. And that quite possibly is the most dramatic statement ever made comparing us getting Houllier to a return by that most prize of wankers O'Leary. You'll be likening Florence Nightingale and Pol Pot next.

Houllier?  I'll believe it when it happens because earlier this week it was definitely Curbishley, then the day after Moyes had cancelled a photoshoot, then it was back to Sven or Kevin Mack.  It's not often that the Daily Mail gets anything correct except the day of the week.  The General said, we are still looking so the race isn't run yet, clearly!!

If it happens it happens.  But for now, chill.

The Mirror are about as reliable as a DOL team in Doncaster. I just cannot believe they will try a patch work management team. I cannot see anything beyond Houllier manager and K Mac coach. Staunton at best a coach along with K Mac. But I doubt that he will be.

I'm sweating like a gerbil in a gay bar that it could be Curbishley or Houllier.

Surely there is better out there that we can 'tempt'.

It will not curbishley. It probably will be Houllier.
