He wants Allardayce, easy to say when you dont have to pay to watch his fucking teams play. Not that the last ten minutes were much different.

Ooh get you Mr Betterfanthanyow.  I don't "want" Allardyce, I just think that as a caretaker boss until the end of the season he'd be a much better bet than Houllier.

I'm trying to think of what would be worse, having that fat twat as manager or being in the Championship. I certainly don't want to watch that type of football every week.

Relegation would be an absolute fucking disaster, a humiliating one at that.

However, I'd rather go down than have Allardyce inflicted on us with his gut wrenchingly horrible brand of "football".

Just to look at a quick fact on GH's games in charge:

Villa have failed to win 82% of the games GH has been in charge of.

not good

I win:

Seeing as no one else has claimed it, may I be the first one to say "Houllier Out!"

H&V's standards have definitely slipped.

Unless the question is 'who can help Dunne eat these pies?' then Allardyce is definitely not the answer.

What is happening now is exactly what I thought would happen and said would happen on the day we appointed him.   He is yesterday's man, a spent force.   He is the managerial equivalent of Basil Fawlty's Norwgian Blue parrot.

It all began with the short list of candidates we put together.   It was - with the honourable exception of KM piss poor and second rate.   As we watched Carew blaze a penalty over the bar and the goals pour in at Newcastle we knew that was KM's chance gone and that a prick of a manager would get the job.

When O'Neill flounced out we should have done one of two things.   We should have bitten on the bullet and made a top flight manager and his club an offer they could not refuse and got the best money could buy or we should have given KM a longer holding role until the right man became available.   Instead we fell right through the gap in between those two options.   We got an old man resting on past achievements living in the comfort zone and unaware or oblivious to what he was letting himself in for.  He has gone full circle and has become a schoolteacher again.

He provided more evidence if more is needed of his being out of touch with premiership level football and the fans in his statement after the game.   He said and I quote "it is very frustrating for the fans".   No it isn't frustrating you silly old fool.   It is pure unadulterated unbearable agony.   Under any circumstance for fans to see the team they love humiliated week after week is more than flesh and blood can bear but to go from the new dawn of the club under the ownership of Randy Lerner and the spending of huge sums of money on players to being in accelerating  freefall after challenging for top four for three seasons should not be summed up as "frustrating".   Just in case the point he was making for us to stop being silly billys was lost on us he went on to say if we had won we would be chanting his name.   No we would not and to claim it is as blatant and premeditated an insult to our intelligence as the Anfiled love in was.

If the comments had come from a foreign manager with little command of english - Capello for example, the choice of words would not have been so informative but his english is perfect.

This is not a cheap shot about his health but it is clear that Houllier has no heart.   The game to him now is all in his head in his reversion to school teacher mode. Football and Aston Villa and football fans exist only in his brain like the names of mountains and rivers do in a geography teacher's head.

If we act quickly and get somebody in to pull the team back into a unit - even if that means booting Houllier upstairs for the rest of his contract - we may just survive.   If we delay or if we allow Houllier and his assistant to continue to command the dressing room, the dug out and the training ground w are done for.

I am not frustrated Monsieur Houllier.   I am dying game by game.

Good words.
