Why the long faces about Houllier?

[TheSandman]

I don't have a long face about it. He's not my first choice by all means but I think that he's better than any of the other names listed. If we appointed Kevin MacDonald, Curbishley or Sven I'd have a long face.

I have reservations and I'd prefer a younger or more glamorous appointment but at the end of the day he's a good enough appointment for me especially when compared to other names on the list.

Good article by Smith highlighting what most already know about the pitfalls of having a DoF!

I fear a bad ending if this is the way Randy plans on going.

Lets wait and see. If Houlier is appointed it will be for a good reason.

What that is I must admit I have no idea.

[PaulWinch again]

I think if Houllier is appointed it will be as manager, not as director of football

[D.boy]

I am going to abstain from commenting on potential managers until I see who gets the job.

Houiller sounds too much like a like a stop gap appointment to me. I'd like someone a bit younger and enthusiastic personally.

It would be for Moyes or Jol imo.

If not, then I wouldn't be happy with Randy at all.

My problem with Houlier was his rabit in the headlights interviews at the end of his liverpool reign, but if he was bought in for a season to stabalise the club that would not be so bad

I thinks a long conversation with my Liverpool mate tomorrow about Houllier's tenure at Merseyside.

If memory serves the general consensus from that lot was that under him they were a bit kick and rush.

What!!!! utter rubbish, they played their best football under Houllier, they looked every bit of class!! all my Lpool mates have told me that he will be the best appoitment we can go for and everyone has said if only he went back to Anfield when Benitez left.

also......

just read this of Wiki.....

Gérard Houllier was appointed as co-manager in the 1998–99 season, he became the sole manager in Novermber 1998 after Evans resigned. In Houllier's second full season in charge, Liverpool won a treble of the FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Cup, Houllier underwent major heart surgery in the 2001–02 season and Liverpool still finished second behind Arsenal.


WOW i would be soooo unhappy with this success!!

hope and pray Houllier gets the job!

I think the concern about Houllier currently isnt that he would be an obvioulsy worse choice than hs rivals, but the nature of his role.

Agreed Gary,

its Manager or nothing!

Morning. 

Does Houlier always use the same right hand man ?  a team of  Houlier as manager and Mcdonald has his coach seems fine to me...
