The Guardian are reporting that Warnock found out he was dropped from the squad for the Chelsea game when he received a phone call from Kevin MacDonald. Now putting aside Warnock's form this season, I do find it strange that GH appears to have gone out of his way to isolate a player, even humiliate him. If we are to believe the rumours of an unsettled players in the squad, why is he trying to add another player to the list? Surely a word in the ear of Warnock explaining why he's being dropped and how he hopes he can refind the form of the first part of last season, giving him a break, etc.. would have been the sensible thing to do.

It does seem a strange way to manage a player but in Warnock's case I'm not too bothered as he stands out as the one player we have who has upset me more than any this season and that's on far more than just one occasion.

I don't get 'upset' by him playing poorly.  In truth he's an average fullback and we were probably expectig too much of him, which in fairness he delivered in his early days.

The closest I get to it is those that are taking the piss out of the club, such as Ireland and Carew.

Enough is enough.  Never mind diving on Paul Faulkner, Randy has got to show that he's still got the passion for Villa in ways that matter.  Houllier has to be gone tomorrow.

I really wanted to give him a chance but I fear enough is enough now. I don't know who to replace him with though and a quick appointment of Jol/fat sam may just be a knee-jerk reaction. Somethings gotta give soon or we will be well and truly sunk.

unless he buys a new sqaud these guys dont want to play for him. i think i have seen enough, cant put a run together, and if the players know he only has 2 games left, then i think its tools down from them

I wonder who'll be the first to berate me if I ask again for evidence that we won't be relegated?

Houllier's record is worse than Billy McNeill's at the same stage of his atrocious tenure FFS.

The deed needs to be done, done tomorrow and anyone with a bit of oomph who can lift the club needs to be appointed before the next league game.

Other than the odd flash in a pan (eg games against Man U and Chelsea, and even then games we drew that we were winning) there has been no sign whatsoever that he knows what he's doing.  If Randy thinks things are bad now, wait until he becomes the first man to get us relegated from the Premier League.
