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.
and if he doesn't/can't steer us away ?............................................................

Playing Gabby out on the left and leaving him there even though he had one of his worse Villa performances ever sums up just how crap Houllier is at managing. He should have swapped him with Ashley Young after 20 minutes but he continued with that formation till Heskey was sent off. What a fuckin laugh!
Randy, grow some balls, sack Houllier and employ Martin Jol before it's too late!

We're going down if this man stays in charge.

I posted on here before Chelski, that I couldnt decide if I wanted him out, or if we should give him a bit of a chance as, fair do's its not his team. I am now firmly in the camp that we need him gone. His tactics are piss poor. We are not playing better football than under DOL, let alone under MON. I dont trust him with any money. He is the man who signed players like Djimi Traore, Salif Diao, Bruno Cheyrou, Gregory Vignal, Igor Biscan. And people slag O'Neill off for wasting money! I have never liked him, I always thought when he was at 'The Mighty Reds YNWA', he was negative and had them playing dull, unattractive football, which is why I was surprised that people thought we would be playing classy pass and move football when he came in?

And his team didnt win 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' the CL, Benitez bought Xabi Alonso in, and Luis Garcia, who scored massive goals in their run to the final.

We are in freefall, was there really less than 33k there? Was there any anti-Ged chanting?

The thing that worries me is the football tonight was as bad as anything we played under the previous manager.

I hoped under Houllier we would get more of a creative game to watch and make use of our skillfull ball players much more. Instead it seems the whole club are collective shitting themselves we're going to get relegated and there's no confidence out there, or even any idea on how to construct attacking moves.

We're freezing out some of the percieved slackers in Ireland, Carew and Warnock but the results aren't improving are they or even the style of play.

I think Houllier will be sacked if we don't win at SHA, I don't think a draw will save him.

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.

Utter Utter Rubbish and a disgrace to say that.







West Ham will be bottom, just below us on goal difference.

If they are to grow the gonads to sack him they need to do it now, let us right off the FA Cup match and get prepared and up for the Blues game.

He should go  because we can not trust him with spending wisely in Jan.

Unfortunately, and just to illustrate how far we've fallen under Ged, this could be our biggest game in years (bigger than the cup final even). We lsoe that, we could be saying 'bet against us?' for the wrong reasons.. Jees this is hard.

He did a Martin Oneil, same tactics against too different teams, no subs.

Sunderland went for the win in our back yard, we did not.

I'm sorry but Houllier out before we waste another window.

We can't wait until we've played Blues to get rid.  The Cup weekend gives us a window.  Randy needs to use the time.

Will Houllier still be here at the end of January?
« Reply #1514 on: January 05, 2011, 11:00:16 PM »
Just wondering who actually thinks he will be gone by sacking,resigning or any other reasons or will Randy stick with him?
