The future of Houllier and McAllister?

I'd love Ray Wilkins at VP.

I find it interesting that so many people are sure McAllister is the real problem whereas Cowans is completely unquestioned. Wonder why that is . . . ?

Personally, I have no way of knowing either way. I'd say, in terms of the coaching staff, the biggest problem is the lack of someone to organise the team. That and the fact that we used to play with 3 centre backs and at least one 6 foot plus big lump up front. Whereas now we just have the two centre backs to attack the ball at set pieces.

That's my biggest concern too.

He's well within his comfort zone there, he might bemoan lack of funds from time to time but with that comes an awareness (except from the most delusional of Everton fans) that 5-7th consistently is actually quite good.

Remind you of anyone. Hands up who'd bank 6th next season now? (Not that I think MON would have been able to achieve that).

The situation at our club stinks, we prize a bloke with  dodgy health away from his retirement desk job, who then brings in Jonnah Maclister who obviously has no idea, between them they manage to alienate the players and the fans. Thier perfomance then gives that shitbag MoNiel to be in the position of I told you so, with, it appears many of the squad. believing it. The result an ageing, expensive bunch of players that we need to cuddle up to in order to survive in the Pl. Add to that, just when you think the situation is turning around the bloke in charge ends up in hospital. It is a total disaster.

Hard not to agree with any of that.

There's a reason that McAllister is the harbinger of relegation for football clubs. It's because he's shit. Hopefully we have too many points for even him to manage to take us down, but he's a useless fuck and I hope he gets the sack ASAP.

Let's hope we have enough - anything other than 3 points on Saturday and I will remain extremely nervous for the last 2 games - where I see us getting 0.

As for my views on the management team:  They are not good enough at all in my view.  I desperately wanted Hodgson to be brought in when Liverpool let him go but we missed a trick.  Come the summer it is going to be very difficult;

Moyes/Hughes/ any number of foreign managers are being discussed, but I think that with AY, Walker, Dunne, NRC, etc all more than likely leaving by then & potnetially a further change of manager, then how easy will it be for us to attract a better replacement than the bodies we currently have at the club?

A long and difficult summer for Mr Lerner I think.

Let me just say again though, whilst I was not MONs biggest fan (I loved the results, just not the way we went about then) I think Mr Lerner may well now be regretting dreadfully not being able to placate and keep him at the club.  (obviously that would have needed giving him a more or less blank cheque book for players which he wasn't prepared to do, but he is now going to be forced into anyway to whoever is in charge come the summer!)
