Sack for me too sadly. It's not the fact that we lost today, it was the attitude in defeat. He's alienated a lot at the club by the looks of things and it looks like it's too far back. Unless he intends to replace the whole squad as none of them will play for him, he has got to go

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

You'd have taken Bob Bradley, with his wealth of experience?

Crikey.

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
If Fat Sam becomes Villa manager then I am done....

tough decision took a chance on experience with houillier but is he past it, some bad decisions from the manager and not what us fans want when he says in the press that the club needs to cut wage bill and would sell young for the right money, we did that with milner and barry which lead to o'neill quitting was he right ? has lerner just made a bad judgement with a new manager i dont know but if we go down we have seroius problems

Colin Wanker would sort us out short term.

The very fact I've even considered such a thing tells it's own story.

In this article:-

http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/media-watch/houllier-i-feel-alive-again

'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.

Same goes for me. I said he was a blame merchant when we appointed him. Get rid now & let the new manager spend in Jan. Of the currently available I'd pick Jol.

If I had to predict what will happen, I'd go for an average second half of the season, a 13th place finish and a "by mutual consent" in June.

With Steve McClaren coming in as a replacement when Wolfsburg finish mid-table.
