Will Houllier Ever Win The Fans Over

[old man villa fan]

If Houllier does manage to pull the team around and move up the table to say 8th or 9th, will he ever be able to win the fans over.  Has too much been said against him for fans to ever accept him, regardless of what he achieves.

[Legion]

Yes, of course he would.

Had the internet been around in September 1989 we'd be saying the same about Sir Graham.

[Legion]

And I'd still say the same.

If he gets results then yes- how many houllier threads are there on here?

[Legion]

Far too many. I'll sort it when I've sobered up. Will 2016 do?

[hawkeye]

if he could get us playing like we did against Manu then he can come on the pitch and sing youre never walk alone in front of the Holte END

Specific question not asked on any other topic (I don't think) to gauge reaction.  Not difficult to answer (or is it?).

A few wins and things would look very much better. I seem to be in a minority who feel that certain spoilt players have far more to answer for than the Manager. He is trying to do things differently- I am optimistic things will improve.

Get results and the fans will be right behind him, especially a result at The Sty

How many mangers recover from such a bad start? Fergies start wasn't as bad as this.

Sir Graham was bottom of the league after three games and Brian Little didn't exactly start off in glory. Fergie finished runners-up in his first full season.

[peter w]

Not quite the same then.

[dave.woodhall]

Not the same, but oft-overlooked.

If we can play like that and win - he can sing it with a flower stuck up his arse I won't mind if we start getting 3pts on a regular basis!
