any right minded Villa fan can't think he's doing a good job he's a disaster
I don't imagine many of those think he's doing a good job though.

Big Sam would maybe kick some ass and shore us up abit at he back he has good experience and many in he game respect him, unfortunatley for us Houlier hasn't
Alladyce for the run in, yes. Not long term. I genuinely think he would grind us 10 points out that would probably keep us safe. Long term, Moyes or Owen Coyle. Hughes is well over rated, and Jol would not be much better.


I don't disagree he'd grind out the results, but i'd say the only advantage we have over the likes of Wolves on paper is we have a few in the squad who can play at bit. Bringing big sam in would thrown that advantage away in the hope we can match them in the effort stakes. With some of snakes in our squad i really doubt it.


think we all know what will happen. the chief hoofers would be bought back in double quick time. Dunne would be made grand czar uber hoof captain and appear in every media outlet available stating how much he loves the club and we should all pull together etc etc... I suppose relagation is worth almost any cost to avoid, but i'm not sure my stomach's strong enough for that scenario

We shouldn't worry about fairness, apportioning blame, or anything else that's happened up to this point. We, or rather Randy,  should only worry about what will keep us up.

I honestly don't think that Lerner has a clue what to do.

You could be right. I'd like to see new management in time to take training tomorrow. Leave it until after the Everton game and even out of work managers will be scared to take it on.

Hes never had a problem sacking coavhes at the browns so i dont see why this is different- if he thinks ged has lost the dressing room then he must act or piss his huge investment up the wall.

Changing manager can work. Dalglish has got Liverpool more points on the board, Albion have picked up slightly under Woy and on a lower scale but still worth mentioning, Walsall were stranded at the bottom of their league until they brought in Dean Smith and they're out of the relegation zone now. A new face can work, it's a chance we might have to take.

Totally correct clampy, but if he acts he needs to do it fast and have someone lined up ready.

I have kept quite for a while as I have never been a GED fan, but I can't keep quite any longer.

He had to go, we have done nothing except drop down the table since he started.

I am considering not renewing my season ticket next year as I am very fed up with way things are going

Some at the club and on here have blind faith in randy but imagine the reactions if Ellis were still in charge! There would be banners and demonstrations shouting "Ellis Out!"

I think this season had shown randy inexperience of the English game, I have said this before but if we don't act we will be repeating 1987 and heading for division 2

Gerard out!

Just a thought,

Maybe Randy is happy with what Houllier is doing bar the results?

He is driving as many high earners away as possible, it could either be a masterstroke or a disaster, depending on if we stay up.

46 vote No well that fucking amazes me, what make the 46 think he deserves to stay in the job
can't believe it
I'd hazard a guess not many of those 46 were down B6 yesterday

Well you'd be wrong in my case.

The timing is all wrong to make a change now, it takes weeks to sort out a manager as we don't have anyone suitable for a caretaker role because we've alrwady managerd to fuck up Kevin Mac's reputation this season. It's a time for cool heads, not to give in to the baying mob.

I think the talk of Fat Sam for 8 games is a non starter. I just don't see his ego coping with being told that whatever he does he isn't going to have the job long term.

I'd also argue that taking yesterday as the example of how we are going to perform for the rest of the season as risky as using the Blackburn game. We're not that predictable.

There is a big decision to be made but the summer is the time to do that.

There haven't been many games like the Blackburn game, and all too many like yesterday.  I know what game my money is on for being repeated under Houllier.  If left in charge, he will take us down.
