I say burn him as sacking isn't enough, and bring in Allardyce, Hughton, Holloway or Warnock.

Hopefully that would mean we stay in the Premier League - I don't honestly believe that we will do under GH although we'll have to give him January.£120 million. Think about that figure numbnuts.

Get rid now, and get the right man for the job. The right man is Owen Coyle. Ok so allegedly he's a Bolton Man. But if we offer the right money we will get himA real loyal manager there!! What a joke his results were terrible when he went to Bolton, now he has had time to settle and a full pre season they are playing well.People need to realise if houllier is allowed to run Villa the way he wants, we have a manager who can attract young talented players the likes of Coyle etc couldn't!

Also another bit of exciting news concerning catering and Houllier, he eats at the training ground everyday with Mrs Houllier.
There's something odd about Houllier that I think has an affect on the players.Basically due to the type of work I am in (Catering) I know quite a few 'chefs' at Villa. Every match day Houllier is in early and sits down to lunch with the Directors and other VIPs for lunch a few hours before KO. On 3 occasions this season, including yesterday (other times were West Brom and Chelsea) Mr Houllier has been in the room (either stayed since lunch or came back later on) with the Directors right up until moments before KO. I think it's a bit odd that he doesn't really have much contact with the players just before games and leaves it all to Gary Mac and Sid.Also another bit of exciting news concerning catering and Houllier, he eats at the training ground everyday with Mrs Houllier.
Having thought about it a bit more rationally, I think the best course is to spend just enough money in January to ensure that we have the wherewithal to accrue 40 points and them in the summer, rather like with Venglos, accept that it was an appointment that didn't work out, cut our loses and move on.
