Will GH last the season?
« on: March 16, 2011, 05:52:43 AM »

In some ways it is premature to post something like this and fingers crossed we do not find ourselves in this situation, but unfortunately,  I have noticed that posting after matches provokes highly defensive reactions from both pro and anti GH camps with everyone becoming rather entrenched on one or the other side.

so....if Villa fail to pick up a single point in our next two games v Wolves or Everton do you think Lerner will seriously consider calling time on GH's era?  If after the Everton game, we are indeed still on 33 points, I'd imagine, we would probably be in the bottom 3 and morale would be at an all time low.

Regardless of whether you are pro or anti GH, do you think if faced with this hypothetical situation, Lerner would act?

I think GH is here to stay. Dunne and some of the others will be off next season thats for sure.

If he wasn't going to last he wouldn't have lasted till jan and he would have gone after Sunderland.

Get used to him as he's going nowhere

A week is a long time in football

Anything is possible. Europe or Relegation are both still on

I thought he should have gone after Man City away in the league. I changed my mind after he did well, results and transfer-wise, in January. Now I'm just not sure what to think.

Mid-table mediocrity awaits this season. Houllier will be given time.

There is absolutely no chance of him going before the end of the season.

If we sacked him now, I'd be straight down the bookie's for a few quid on us to go down.

Having been given the funds in January, he is staying. That was back him or sack him time, RL backed him.
Expect a fair few ins/outs in the summer, once he gets the players in who he wants to fit in with how he wants to play etc, we will see the benefits next season.
This season is one of transition, and sometimes you need to take a step back to move forward.
After the cup semi draw, Europe is now out of the equation as only the top 5 now qualify on league position.

Totally agree that after the Sunderland game was the time to back him or sack him- no chance of him being sacked now and I believe he will over the next 3 years do a very good job and build an exciting winning team- Rome was not built in a day.

I'll join Percy's confused club.
I'm not sure what to think, for every positive (better football) there's a negative (Gerard's lousy PR skills)
Still think there is a massive danger of us being relegated.

He won't be sacked.

The only reason he'd leave Villa is through his choice (i.e. resigning), which I think is a possibility.
