Gerard Houllier

[PaulTheVillan]

Lerner and Houllier have had a meeting after the game.

I don't want Villa to turn into one of those clubs that sacks the manager after 6 or 7 bad results but Houlliers record has been dire since he came; we can back him to sign a load of mediocre players a la Barton, Wheater, O'Neil etc in January and watch us get relegated OR we sack him and get someone in who is up to the job.

So that's a 'Sack' from me sadly...

[Surrey Villain]

The decline in morale has reached such a desperate low so quickly that I can't see it being repaired by the current management.  It was clear from day 1 that there was a barrier and Houllier has done nothing to dispense with that concern.  He has alienated players and seems to have personal vendettas against certain players especially Carew.  Perhaps it is mutual but how we could have done with him today.  Or could it be the same reason the French team walked away from the World Cup?  It seems more than coincidence to me.

'I have four principles,' he says.

'Number one, respect. But respect means a lot of things. Respect the kit manager. Respect means you never tell the media "I should play" because that is a lack of respect for your team-mates and a lack of respect for the club and the manager who picks the team.'

Does respect also mean not slagging off a kid who has barely kicked a ball for us (Lichaj)

What about showing respect to Stephen Ireland, fair enough the boy is crackpot who hasn't applied himself at Villa but it was Geddy who went to media slagging him off when Ireland had not said a word. Why can't he keep his opinions between himself and the players.

No way would I trust this bloke in the January transfer window. Get rid.

Randy has no idea about the game, plenty of heart but no football sense

That could have been what MON thought and decided to go

OR

Randy said your not wasting anoter £20m on shite and he walked?

No-one can criticize Learner for appointing Houllier as he was the best at the time.

I am worried though big style..Chelsea away next

I'm sorry that's utter bollox,

The best available my arse!

Randy showed no balls or football sense by declaring that he won't approach anybody in a job. We should have gone for the best man, not the best man available!

Randy is a good owner, but is getting his fingers burnt for being naive and not recruiting a football man to assist him.

When we appointed Houllier the list was shocking, We were being linked with that american manager Bob Bradley, Curbishley & Shit like that, he was the best availiabe at the time.

That was widely accepted

Time is up Taxi for Gerard

[eastie]

Reluctantly I've gone for sack- I think when houllier agreed the job phil Thompson was coming with him and had told sky so, but thommos change of heart and the disaster that is Gary mcallister have made it untenable in my view- he has to go!

[goldenjimi]

I have never wanted a manager sacked before, but it has to be a 'sack' for me.  He has alienated everyone at the club, and we are getting worse with every week that passes.
I never thought I would join a fanzine site, but these last 2 games have driven me to it, me family don't understand and Im worried that Im gonna break a foot on the wall soon!....thank god for the ashes!

[eamonn]

Has anyone ever got this done? The re-growth must be murder. A bit of trimming from time to time is the way to go.

[Phil from the upper holte]

I'd go

Hughes
Jol
KMac/Sid
El tel
Fat Sam

In that order

Hughes - On the verge of the sack at Fulham?
Jol - If he'd have wanted the job he'd have left Ajax
KMac/Sid - Sorry Kev isn't good enough
El tel - Serious?
Fat Sam - I'd rather Mon came back

[Irish villain]

He alienated fans when he arrived and he seems to have now alienated the players.

I don't think he ever had much time for us. He saw us as mid-table and it has showed.

We are better than you Ged. Au Revoir.

[Cuz]

There is a rumour going around that GED did not travel back with the players on the coach and was with  Lerner? anyone heard this?

also on WM GED publically saying Lichaj had a nightmare game, sure that will boost the young lads confidence!!

Houllier Out!

Don't know, but i just tried to have £50 on the 4/1 with Skybet on Houllier being the next manager to leave.

They only let me have £27.50.

After holding for 5mins to ask a supervisor Bluesquare wouldn't take my bet, said they would look at it in the new year

[WikiVilla]

Bullshit, he was not the best available
I'd have taken Bradley or curbishley over houllier,not that I'd have been happy with the former 2
We should have stuck with KMac and not rushed into this silly appointment

[D.boy]

I don't think Jol is the saviour some folk reckon he is.
