I think sacking him now would probably bollocks things up even further.
I think sacking him now would probably bollocks things up even further. If he somehow steers us away from relegation and we survive I'd look to replace him at the start of next season though.
But the same side that did know, and played well on Sunday Martin.It dawned on me tonight, for the first time, that we are as a team like a rotting piece of wood. Houllier is simply carrying the wood while the bits fall off and disintegrate. We were equally as bad as today at home MANY times last season under O'Neill, but got through with a draw in most cases, looked bereft of ideas many times, and generally have looked very poor for much of the past year. We need a new heartbeat and a bit of attacking flair. Pronto. The manager needs players, fast, whoever the manager is, cause the ones we have are not up to it.
Back him and give him a load of cash? as we need players in desperately or sack him and appoint a new manager this week! We cannot go weeks without a manager - tough call for randy but the lack of a football head on the board is worrying.I would put him in charge of scouting as a kind of director of football and get martin jol in , but please not keV mac, that would be the final nail !It's sad as I like houllier and can see what he's trying to do but these players are just not playing for him and we can't sack All the players !
I've defended him lots recently, and said it would be folly to get rid of him, but unfortunately, tonight was the turning point for me.That was the most inept, pathetic performance I have seen for years. We clearly are getting worse, Chelsea was a blip, not at all the norm.I now think our chances of moving up the table will be better without him. The players clearly do not want to play for him - it was clear as day tonight - which is wrong, they shouldn't call the shots, but ultimately I'd rather not get relegated and have them force him out, if that is the choice we're looking at.
