Houllier confirmed as new manager. Press Conference p22

Patrice Bergues as assistant.

Sounds rather er French ( off to Google !)

I don't agree with his opinion about Houllier, but Collymore is not a twat mate.

Anyone who wastes that much talent is a grade A twat with gold star and bar.

Going madly off topic, and can't remember too well, but didn't he have depression around the time of him being at villa?

He did, but whether it was cause or effect is open to debate. Stan's always come across as a great bloke in person but I can't get round the fact that he should have won us the league and England the World Cup.

I'm referring to his intellect , not his football career.

I know plenty of educated, intelligent twats.

worked with him at Lens and Lyon so makes sense.

As an aside I know a really fit bird called Patrice.

Phil McNulty is batting for Gerard ( don't know if it's been posted before or not).

Gerald Houlliers claret et bleu armée

It was between Sven and Houllier, with not much to choose. I wish him well. It s going to be tough.

[Matt C]

Patrice Bergues worked with him at Lyon & Liverpool from what I can make out.

Yep, similar age too.

Maybe KevMac can add some youth in the backroom ? !

Maybe he will just go back to the sticks and doing what he's been doing and bank the extra few grand he will have been given for his temporary assignment.

[Matt C]

I still think there could be a Head Coach role there for KM - expanding what he did previously to give him an input on the first team.

The only Patrice i can think of (except for Evra) is Patrice the French exchange student from that brilliant episode of the Inbetweeners.

"Your mother, she has the sex" etc.

The Germans have crossed the Polish border. Don't know if it's been posted before or not.

[ColinMac]

He's not a twat at all.

I don't agree with his opinion about Houllier, but Collymore is not a twat mate.

Nope, hes just a scumbag who beats up women.

To be given that talent and to be given the chance to grace "your teams" colours and fail so miserable can not pass judgement in my opinion

Whatever.

I hope Gerard proves him wrong in any event ..... and it's about opinions.

15 goals in 3 years for Villa.

I'm still waiting for Collywobble's apology.
