The future of Houllier and McAllister?

[villajk]

Well I see on Sky we have been linked to Holloway, that better not be true.

Too right.  I would never be able to listen to any of his interviews.  He drives me crazy.

Quite right too. Anyway surely he is worth more than "a half-arsed club". We certainly are for a half-arsed manager.

He is a buffoon, and would be an embarrassment and he's not very good.

I have no problem with Houllier staying on, but McAllister can fuck right off.

Do any  of us actually know, with any degree of certainty, that McAlistair is the problem, or has it just been magicked up to allow us to moan without feeling bad about having a go at a poorly man?

i think you have a point there to be honest and there is no proof that mccallister is the problem other than rumours but i can only say that my gut feeling says i don't want him in charge. illogical and unfair maybe but he makes me uneasy and if he does that to me through a few interviews on the tv and in the papers, then i'm not sure how the players react to him.

It was quite evident yesterday, that whilst we were all watching what was going on GMc was pacing the technical area without a chuffin clue on how to change it. I work in Hinckley in amongst the great unwashed of Leicester and Coventry and a Cov fan said GMc would F@*! the squad up.

Does the last few games  not give you a huge clue about how clueless McAllister actually is? What more proof do you need?  He is an idiot. Completely out of his depth. and Poorly or not, Houllier has turned us into relegation candidates in less than 9 months since taking over. He might be ill but how many more excuses do we actually need before the board wake up and realise that Villa are crap to watch? Poorly run etc?

I'm not sure that yesterday was materially worse than our average performance this season? Everything still points to GH as the master of our downfall for me.

GH and Gmac are the worst double act down VP since Callaghan and Bernie Gallagher.

You need a certain type of authority to motivate and manage multi millionaires and both of these guys are out of their depth.

The players do not seem to respect either of them , they do not fear failure and they play like they hardly know eachother.

Get a horrible bastard in.

[Clampy]

Rumour from a mate over in Italy says Fat Spanish Waiter arrives at VP in two weeks time.  He's never been ITK before and I pray to McGrath he isn't this time!!

A mate of mine text me last night and said that someone had rang in Tawksport and said that FSW is lined up to be our new manager and a statement would be made soon. Let's hope not eh.

Well, it's probably not true, but if it were, I wouldn't mind. It would mean that the board has been decisive, reacted quickly and managed to get a well-qualified manager (thought not necessarily likeable and popular among the fans) in fast enough for him to get to work as soon as the season finishes.

[Risso]

A few wins and he'd be popular enough.

[ozzjim]

Spot on. Tactically astute, and gets the best out a lone striker while likes to tighten up the defence. I think he would do a good job.

[pauliewalnuts]

i wouldn't mind Benitez, either. By which I mean, I can think of lots and lots of worse appointments we could make.

Ian Holloway would be a great appointment, too.

If our main aim was to make ourselves a laughing stock and give in to being about as ambitious as the West Broms and Boltons of this world.

[Toronto Villa]

My concerns with Benitez is his propensity to completely lose it when the pressure really gets high. Towards the end of his time at Liverpool, it was never his fault for anything. Those who criticised GH for some of signings at Liverpool need to look at some of the complete and utter dross he purchased up there. He inherited Liverpool's best player of the past 20 years in Gerrard, but didn't half waste a lot of cash on players to make them a title contender. Also, name one player of note that came through their own developmental system. If the vision of our club is to be somewhat self sufficient, that would need to be integral to what he does, not dismissed as he did up there.

Like GH he has accolades a plenty and has won major prizes in his career and he has purchased some great players. There would be far worse managerial appointments and he'd make us relevant again, but I just don't think he is the type of manager that fits what the club is trying to do at this time.

[Mazrim]

I have to agree.
Well, I dont have to but I do.
