Stats can be used anyway you want to prove or disprove a point of view the table doesn't lie, its the manner of our defeats, the dejectedness in the playing squad that worry me the most.Who do I want? Anyone but Houllier! Please God his time is at an end & we will have a new man in by the Sunderland game.

I think Dowie's available. Curbishley and Megson are probably at a loose end as well. We could probably tempt Gregory back from Israel as well.Shame Newcastle already snapped up Pardew.I'm guessing you didn't actually mean 'anybody'?

Liverpool was a good case in point. He could'nt even motivate the players against a side without Gerrard and Torres and instead we found ourselves 2 goals down inside 10 mins. I agree to a point, but why do professionals need motivation, especially at this level, at the start of a game. These aren't kids. These are grown men paid handsomely to do a job.I agree entirely, but if we are dragged into a relegation scrap, we need someone who's going to get 100% out of his players and i'm just not sure if GH is capable of it.

Exactly, I am convinced he has lost the dressing room, only the senior players have made their displeasure known & I am afraid he will throw the baby out with the bathwater in an attempt to exert his authority
If he does go and I don't think he will be sacked, how about Martin Jol?

If you're referring to Carew or Dunne then they don't represent the majority. I don't even consider Ireland as Villa player. I've not heard Downing, Petrov, Ash, Gabby or Heskey say anything bad about him. Have you?
