The future of Houllier and McAllister?

[olaftab]

Gerard to attend Liverpool game? Great a proper goodbye would be nice. Thanks for your attempt  Mr Houllier but it didn't really work out for us. Enjoy your money.

Gerard Houllier could make a surprise appearance in the stadium at Aston Villa's final match of the season at home to Liverpool.

I'm sure the Dr Jo comparisons have already been made but it does feel just like that for me. GH has come in, tried to change things, brought in his own ideas and for whatever reason it's not worked.

Randy like Doug hopefully realises this and asks Doug if he can borrow his back garden to take Gerard for a walk round to break the news. Not nice in the circumstances i suppose, but now we know GH is on the mend, it's time to put the club first.

I remember someone saying when we appointed le Gaffeur that he signed a one year contract so that both the club and him could see if it was going to work.

I hope that was true as this would be a very easy way to say, thanks but no thanks.

On the other hand, if Randy thinks le Gaffeur is still the man for the job we're in a whole heap of trouble!

Gary McAllister was a fine footballer but every single utterance from him since he came to Villa Park have made me shudder. I can only imagine what he is like on the training ground with his defending set pieces routines.

I wouldnt risk Ged at the Liverpool game , his heart wouldnt take it especially If his beloved 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' are losing. 

Spainard coming in ?   Roberto Martínez then.

It would be nice but the focus would be on Liverpool and Houlier and we would come a long way second. Maybe I'm a bit too sensitive but I find that sort of thing rather humiliating, almost a sort of cuckolding.

from what i read from an articel on newsnow, mcallister is talking about houllier planning for next season...

on the plus side, it sounded like houllier wants his business done very early, to bring everyone into pre season, which will make a nice change...

have to look for the plus signs...

I cannot seriously believe todays reports that Houllier may attend the Livepool game.

After novemeber !!!!!

Unbelievable !

Well all I will say (and have said it to the General) if he does, and it goes tits up and we lose and he starts waving to the Liverpool fans again.

He / the board / and his management team will deserve everything they get !

I agree - How fucking DARE an Aston Villa manager attend an Aston Villa match. What a ****** he is for doing that.

I predicted this weeks ago and if it were any other game it wouldn't be a problem, but he is not attending as a Villa manager, but as a Villa manager AND former Liverpool manager and it's the latter that will take all the attention. Given the circumstances, his behaviour at Anfield and the very poor season we have experienced with him at the helm, his presence, for me at least, would be ill-advised. Further more, it could show us in a negative light were the result to go against us and the crowd show their displeasure and I put Villa before Houllier, Liverpool, the media or anything else.

[VillaZogmariner]

So you're saying that whilst he is employed as Aston Villa manager he shouldn't attend any game where we are playing Liverpool?

[dave.woodhall]

Our manager shouldn't attend a game because he used to manage the opposition and some of our supporters won't like it.That won't make us look smalltime at all.

[VillaZogmariner]

They are quite right though Dave, it would be a conflict of interest.

Darren Bent is an Arsenal fan so it's only right that he doesn't play tomorrow either.
