Spot on Sheffield Villain.

What the hell is going on with some of these quotes? Do you read from the top or bottom or work your way from the middle and out?

When they get too long you just skip them.

How out of touch with the modern game is GH ? clueless clown

Ok I can accept there needs to be discipline and he is doing what he thinks needs to be done in that respect, but simply can't defend his bizarre tactics, tram selections PR gaffes and cup humiliation

Go now houllier you are destroying our club

I think his choice of urban transportation is the least of our problems.

Don't shoot the messenger but according to Tim Abraham (E&S) on twitter all this Houllier "rules" stuff is nonsense.

Houllier was the twat who decided that the overland link to Crystal palace would not be linked to croydon via the tram network. Clueless prick.

Worryingly, GH is not used to a relegation dogfight, he just isn't the man for it.

We don't need ranting and raving, we don't need a tracksuit Manager ( need being the operative word).

We do need an exceptional man Manager.

Forget the money these guys earn, it's irrelevant to the situation - the players should be playing with pride, confidence and with a smile on their faces.

I hear Jose saying only yesterday, Spurs are going to be hard to beat, that they play with a smile on their faces - happy teams are always hard to beat.

On that basis - we're the opposite of being hard to beat.

No less boring than all this banging on about giving him more time, he plays an exciting brand of football, he knows what he's doing bollocks

We are sleepwalking our way down to Div 2
Christ GH seems to have sucked the energy out of a few villa fans too, the apathy to the situation is deafening

I seem to remember reading when he was appointed articles quoting Carragher and Gerrard saying that Houllier is the best manager they'd worked with (or words to that effect). Now don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of either of those players, but they've still done a lot more in this game than the majority of our squad have. (Pires excepted of course).

Interestingly those two Liverpool players you mentioned were very young when Houllier brought them through. Aren't we hearing similar mutterings from our young kids? That they like him as a manager, and like his training methods. If I remember correctly, when Houllier came to Liverpool he gutted the old guard out of that squad and brought in a lot of his own along with the kids. They went on to do alright. I'm quite sure he wants to do the same to us.
