Gerard Houllier

[ez]

Iwouldn't normally say get rid after only half a season in charge but Houllier is an exception. Carry on  and we will be bottom.

[The Situation]

I just don't understand, why bring in a manager who's meant to improve us when all he's done is put us in the bottom 3?

The board didn't listen on who we wanted as manager - are they not going to listen to us again on wanting Houllier gone?

[Risso]

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.

I don't much like Big Sam or his football, but he'd take no messing from the players and as caretaker manager until the end of the season would do better than the hopeless fool in charge at the moment.

[The Situation]

Martin Jol is just waiting to be taken - why aren't we taking him?

Frankly, if I was Randy I'd be on the phone to Allardyce before someone from West Ham is. 

Do I like his football? Of course not. But is anyone enjoying what the Villa are serving up at the moment?

He'd also get an immediate response from the players.

[PaulWinch again]

Not Allardyce, as I said on the other thread it has to be someone else if Houllier goes. Allardyce's football makes it completely pointless even watching football.

[gervilla]

Gerard, close the door on your way out.

[Irish villain]

Jol, now. I think he will have the lads up for a fight. We can review the situation in the summer. Right now we are sinking like a ship.

Wolves and the teams around us are picking up points. This club is in freefall, look at the attendances. Randy appointed the wrong manager.

[Risso]

What "football" have we been playing under Houllier?  Anything to stir the senses and make you think that good times are round the corner?  Tonight was another atrocious display, with twenty odd million pounds of disaffected players not in the squad, players out of position and nobody with even the remotest idea what to do.

[KevinGage]

I'd much prefer it if we could limp through until the close season and make any change then, even we were to end up not a million miles off the relegation places. As per DOL's last season, when we were never really in trouble (and even had designs on Europe in Feb) but the final league position looked ugly.

It soon became obvious that the appointment was a mistake, but there's a degree of logic to say lets not compound it with another rushed appointment.

Thing is flirting with relegation is one thing. That alone would be shite and enough to ease GH out. But if he stays we could actually go down. That's the chance we take.

To a certain extent he's been unlucky. The injuries, losing to B-lose in the cup with a weakened side (I'd guarantee if we were in the semis again we wouldn't be having these kind of threads, the confidence of the first team probably wouldn't have plummeted to the depths it has over the last month for one thing), even missing out on the Wigan match before a couple of tricky fixtures.

But if you can't always be good, be lucky.

He's neither, so Au Revoir.

[achilles]

He has not got a clue!

Bury your head in the sand if you want but the reality is staring you in the face!

[MarkM]

Please go now!

Before it's too late

[The Situation]

He played the wrong team tonight - that's why we lost. One stratergy working against Chelsea doesn't really mean it's going to work against Sunderland.

It should of been:
Same defence

Coker - Petrov

Alrighton - Young - Downing

Agbonlahor

[hawkeye]

what must the atmosphere be like in the changing room? the players know he has lost the plot.

[hawkeye]

just siply putting Young on the wing and Gabby up front would have given us more shape, we could and should have introduced Bannan and albrighton in the second half
