No No No.
No because he walked out.
No because of Moscow.
No because he thought he was bigger than Aston Villa.

After watching some of the crap he served up at home last season and what he did to us at the start of the season it would have to be a resounding no. I still hold him as the main person responsible for what is currently taking place.
That is possibly the most ridiculous post I have ever read.


On what basis? I struggle to see how slating our home record from last season, which would have had us the bottom half if it wasn't for our away record is ridiculous? and also how would holding him responsible for walking out on us at the worst possible moment be considered the same?

It's your opinion and I don't agree with it but its as valid as mine. All I'm saying is to have MON as the main reason above say the players, the current manager is in my view ridiculous. Remember this squad plus Milner less Ireland finished 6th last season.

then it's the players too.

It's Gerard Houllier is what it is.

How anyone can say it is Houllier but not the players is beyond me.

But they're probably the same people who'd want O'Neill back.

They're probably the same people who look at the results.

But obviously not much time watching the actual games if they think the players are absolved of any blame.

jesus i cant believe some of the stuff on here. MON walked causing us the most damage possible.
He showed how much he cared for this club and its supporters. As I have said before  the Club is above any individual and i think that some need to recognise that

Would I rather have MoN than Houllier? Yes.

Would I have just about anyone else (apart from Brian Laws, Phil Brown, Chris Hutchings, Paul Jewell, Alan Curbishley...) ahead of either of them? Yes.

Unless he had an excellent reason the twat deserves every ill for leaving us in the lurch as he did.

Yes i would.  Spent a great deal of time attempting to defend houllier to a blose fan before the game yesterday but nothing i said seems true even to me now.  I would take 3 sixth places in a row in a heartbeat as oppossed to 18th.

I let you know how I think the players are doing just as soon as I can figure out what the fuck it is he is asking them to do. I honestly can't make heads nor tails out of our formations and tactics at the moment.

exactly, i had no problem with the set up against cheldsea MON deployed a similar set up in the boxing day match 2 seasons ago, then to deploy the same system at home to sunderland was madness and to not change it until we were 1 0 down and with 10 men was total insanity

Hindsight is 20-20.
MoN gambled with RL and failed as Randy holds most of the cards and did not relish ultimatums.
The fans, it appears in the majority, were then fed up with 6th places and bayed for the head of MoN.
Now the creeping realisation is emerging that MoN may not have been so bad and Houllier is now the problem.
If we were to better 6th we needed a major overhaul back then.
To get out of present predicament ditto.
MoN was working on a limited budget and wanted more.
GH looks happy to work on very limited budget and cards dealt by Randy.
To get in top 4 you need more money than RL has available but it does not affect apparently GH and therefore he will stay.
Tonight MoN's odds shortened for Liverpool job where he will get the players he needs to improve ad take out of parlous position if he gets job.
Meanwhile Villa fans will bark louder for GH dismissal while we search a replacement who will save us from relegation and GH looks for players to do same, on a limited budget.
The clamour of fans will destroy us in the end trying to influence the future and not considering what they did in the past.
There is little chance of MoN returning to VP and same of GH leaving while RL runs the place. 
We are all are together in wanting a winning team and most can't afford a ticket these days.
It is our tickets and support that run the club without which we can lose not only players, mangement structure and PL place but if problems continue the owners as well and then our respect.
It is a spiral of despondency. At this stage GH is our only hope. MoN coming back is a deluded dream now. The supporters got him out before but I doubt they can ever get him back.
Supporters have to rein in their dreams or it turns into a bigger nightmare than we are already in.
RL holds the purse strings and it is a small purse presently. We are fighting to hold onto 15th or better nevermind dis-satisfaction with 6th. In two years time you can start baying for heads again..meanwhile hope your club is not cast into the abyss by the chants of the claret hatted crowd anxious to administer Madame guillotine's french kiss to the present incumbent..time to keep your head whilst all about are losing theirs, I think, mon braves. The ragged head you have anyway...
Time to get behind the real man making decisions or  bring on the tumbrils again..
The future sometimes takes longer to happen than you may want.
I just hope Randy has kept his head in the face of the bloodied fangs of rabid raging crazies or complete chaos will ensue as the PL blade of expulsion threatens...calm down and give them a chance or we have no hope..survival is all it is about now.
