Sack the Manager?

[Rip Van We Go Again]

To compound his poor management, he's now talking absolute drivel.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Yesterday was the first time I've thought it's a distinct possibility we could go down.

The guy is clearly an idiot. The tactics are wrong. The players are confused. He's confused when it comes to interviews. The amount of wins since he's been here is awful, and they were all against awful sides as well.

I've supported him a lot since he arrived, and at times we have looked like a good side, but it's clearly not working. Get rid.

Yesterday was a big reality check for a lot of people by the sounds of it,remember a couple of week's ago there were a few people who said we would finnish mid table ish ,thought then that would be pushing it but didn't think we would go down until yesterday,big decision to get rid of him,i don't think Randolph will so it will go right to the wire ,get your prayer mat's out.

 Me too,always thought we'd have enough quality,but I cant see us grinding out results like the other teams do. West Ham and Wolves have done so recently,Blues are capable of doing the same. Though they won yesterday,I think Wigan have still had it.

   We have 3 home games against teams with poor away records, Wigan,Newcastle,Stoke,but how many of us can honeslty say we'll pick up 7points out of that lot?

[Des Little]

Does anyone actually believe a word that silly old twot says?  More to the point do you think he does?

[eastie]

It will take 42 points i reckon this year and without heart and motivation we are fucked.

[Cuz]

he embarrasses me, he rattles on like some mad old uncle, no wonder the players aren't playing for him they are probably scratching their heads at what the fuck he's talking about, and without a strong number 2 we are fucked

[KevinGage]

The advantage of Hughes being we have here 4 of his ex players in Ireland, dunne , warnock and friedal and he seems a good man manager but I doubt he would take us any further than mon did.

There is that, plus he reminds me a bit of Brian Little in interviews. Thoughtful, measured. Rather than the verbal dysentery GH is prone to. He just needs to say 'at this moment in time' a bit more and I might actually start to believe it is Sir Brian.

Not the most logical of reasons to appoint a manager, granted.  But we're living in weird times. Spurs in the last 8 of the CL, B-lose have won a trophy and we look a good bet to go down.  Doesn't get much weirder than that.

[villa baz]

i think we ve had it. that idiot houllier reckons we need 10 more points to stay up. were the fuck are they gonna come from.?
yesterday he 's probably destroyed nathen baker by taking him off after 30 mins.i dont know what the fuck warnocks done,we needed a left back he should have played.hes got experience.
the time has come to get rid,if not were going down ( WERE ALL GOING ON A CHAMPIONSHIP TOUR)

[Lobsterboy]

It's too late in the season to get rid now for me; there have been plenty of opportune moments to have done this already so why bother now.

Oh and a message to Inspector Clueless, his coaching staff and the overpaid squad of internationals/superstars/honest pros of Aston Villa Football Club; we'll get behind the team for the next eight games no problem at all but it really is up to you - you got us in to this fucking mess; you get us out of it

well said m8 the fans will get behind the team,but will the overpaid tossers respond,i doubt it!

[Clampy]

It's not too late to get rid of him, there's still 24 points to play for. 12 of those may well see us safe, 15 pts defintley would. Under GH, i can't see us getting anywhere near those totals.

[Percy McCarthy]

Well now would be the time to get rid of Houllier and Gary Mac whilst we have a couple of weeks off from league footy. Bring in Jol and Hughton and let them have a few team meetings to try and inspire the players for the remaining games. I do think its a shame that Houllier hasn't worked out and I don't lay all the blame onto him. In my opinion he hasn't been helped by some senior players acting like spoilt kids and throwing tantrums because the regime has changed. But we now need every player on board and with Houllier still in charge i don't see that happening

My thoughts exactly.

[Clampy]

People are saying that it's too late to get rid. Fine, that's their opinion, but can they seriously hand on heart see us picking up 4 wins out of the last 8, bearing in mind we've still got Arsenal and Liverpool to play?

10 would do it i reckon, but 3 wins and a draw from the last eight games is more about hope than expectation. 3 teams that are below us will not get 10 more points in my opinion, most likely Wigan, Blackpool and one of our 3 neighbours.
