The future of Houllier and McAllister?

[Nev]

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

Certainly not, but given the rather unique set of circumstances, in this instance it may not be good for Aston Villa.

The sub-plot to everything McAllister says, is that as long as Houllier stays, so does he. He knows that if GH leaves, he follows him out the door.
I wish he would just shut up.

Why not? He's employed as manager of Aston Villa, and although may not be fit enough to be in the dugout he should still be able to attend the match and see what is happening.

But will he join in the Lap of Honour?

I fail to see how it can be good for Aston Villa that our manager is told to stay away from a match.

[holtepaul]

Do us a favour.

This isnt any other "Villa game" - dont you think it is a bloody co-incidence it is against Liverpool ?

AND


He isnt attending as Villa manager - he will be sitting in the stands !

So, come on, what is the point !  - it could be an absolute nightmare.

Get this.

A totally innocent situation. that could happen. We are getting beat heavily. Gerard has sat there in silence for the whole match - however, the big screen pans on him on a moment he is smiling.

Everyone in and out the ground will be saying "Look at him, he is happy his beloved team are winning.

It is a PA disaster - and it doesn't surprise me, coz this season has been one media cock up after the other.

There is NO POINT him being there next Sunday - he will have no influence on the game what-so-ever - why on earth would the club and he risk a total pa meltdown.

This club is a laughing stock at the moment and they seem to want to make it worse

[dave.woodhall]

The only people making us a laughing stock are our own supporters.

Yes.

One would hope that any such "arrangement" would not be in the public domain. The ideal solution is for Houllier to attend the match tomorrow and then the spotlight would be off somewhat were he to appear at Villa Park, but he may not be up to it health wise.

You know what our crowds are like, a heavy defeat could end up with some vocal criticism spun as "Villa fans boo sick OAP".

[holtepaul]

How do you work that out Dave ?

Things that have made NATIONAL media this year

Liverpool love in - supporters  - no
Man City youth team - supporters - no
Home kit not being released - supporters - no
Pulling out of Olympic bid - supporters  - no
Players fighting on a "bonding session" - supporters - no
Players slagging off management on TV (Ireland and others) - supporters - no
Management slagging off players on TV (GH on Carew / Warnock and others) - ng supporters - no
Players coming out in press saying this season is a waste - supporters - no
Being dumped out the cup by Bluenoses - supporters - no


 Listen - I could go on and on - there have been many many other things - but I cannot think of ONE thing the supporters have done this year that would be considered embarrassing - so tell me - why are we an embarrassment ?

[taylorsworkrate]

In a way, Houllier being there, waving to the Liverpool fans after we get a good tonking would be a fitting end to the season.

[VillaZogmariner]

I'd rather Houllier was at the game than you were Holtepaul.

[luke95]

I'd rather Houllier was at the game than you were Holtepaul.

Id rather Houllier showed as much passion towards Aston Villa & their Fans as he does Liverpool & theirs . Just for him to match Holtepaul for passion would be a bonus 

But you cant have everything I suppose .

What has Houllier done towards the Villa fans that shows he has no passion?

I'm not saying that what he done at Liverpool was the correct thing, but the way it is blown up by certain supporters you'd think he'd come out after the game and said "I'd just like to say that all Villa fans are ******".

Think thats exactly what he said to the 3'000 or so that made the efffort for Man City Cup match.
