Randy will not sack  Houllier.

Does Randy actually have a clue about football?

He came in and let Oneil run the show, then thought Martin weren't the man,
Then thought he could save a few bob by not appointing a manager till the window shut.
Then he said he wouldn't approach a manager in a job,
Then appointed Houllier who hasn't managed in England for 6 years.

Do I think Houllier will come good? Yes

If I were Randy would I sack him and get Jol? Yes

So what do we do?

that may take the biscuit as the most "all over place" post of all time. You criticise Randy for the process and hiring Houllier. You think he'll come good, yet you'd trust Randy to fire him and get Jol.

And get fucking Ian Holloway.
Christ no!
On what basis would you want him, or Owen Coyle?

They've achieved nothing yet and Holloway managed to send Leicester down, despite generous transfer funds.
Coyle on the other hand has done well at every team he's managed. He's unlikely to "achieve" much at Bolton but he certainly manages to combine good football AND a motivated team, something neither MON or Houllier could/can do. You could argue Ron Saunders never achieved anything before joining Villa, apart from losing a couple of League Cup finals.

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

I'm not convinced Mark.
It seems like a flavour of the month choice to me.

Agreed, the very least you'd expect to see after a display like that is a bit of anger, a bit of fire in the belly. 

He really is tactically poor, uninspiring, passionless, dull and blatantly not worthy of being our manager.

That's the point!

We are all over the place and Randy obviously doesn't quite know what too do going on what he has done thus far.

We are paying his pension top up, he is a man out of his time, he is passionless but more so clueless. Aston Villa need a better manager than this I just hope that Randy acts before it is too late.

No thanks to Coyle or Allardyce. Who though is another matter.

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 think there's a lot more to him than that. He's completely changed the way Bolton play. What he doesn't have is experience in the top end of the transfer market and I very much doubt he has a scouting network much bigger than MON's. He does appear to grow with every job he takes. We could do a lot worse. I'm not saying I want him but he'd be one to have on the list.
