The future of Houllier and McAllister?

[pauliewalnuts]

The problem with Villa fans is that for whatever reason we attract a very negative bunch who don't think outside the box only focusing on the negatives and not the positives.

I would agree with that, considering how miserable people were for the two years previous when we were a good side, but I think people have been unbelievably positive this year bearing in mind how shit it's been.

I think part of that - a small part, probably - is that people were making more allowances for the fact that they expected an iffy season from the day MON walked out.

I think GH has been pretty much disastrous on the whole, although I can recognise a few things he's done well.

One thing I will say is that when you look at some of the things that have happened this season, we've been very unlucky. Even to the point of the manager being rushed into hospital.

there are alot of folks on here who do not want houllier to continue as they will look like right pricks,  for the vociferous nature that they have called for his head all season, if he succeeds!
i love the 'stereotypical' shout when anyone says'negative' or 'fickle'. Some need to look harder at themselves and ask have they been a bit too quick too judge.
some results have been real good and others real bad but if you cannot see a change of direction and things to be positive on then you are just cutting your nose off.
Bent was houlliers signing! It could be a fruitful legacy with him in charge or not.

Why would anyone on here want Houllier out in case he succeeds just so they don't look stupid.
I think that is a ridiculous statement.
I personally wouldn't give a shit who was manager if he was a success and brought some silverware to Villa Park.

i dont feel it is a ridiculous statement at all! We have had this season described as bad as the demise of the late 60's and the mcneill days, lots of people being overdramatic as to the state of our plight!
Believe me, there will be those who never accept him.

Ged has his return appointment at the Q E on 3rd June so we won't know anything til after then I dont think..

Is his next medical appointment in the public domain?

With 2 games to go we were still in danger of going down.
Wanting a change of manager with this in mind is not being over dramatic is it ?

This idea of reduced work load for Houllier is bunk. There can be no half way house in this game. Coaches have to be ruthless and hungry. They eat  drink sleep their job. Can any one imagine any of the top clubs in Europe doing this? and before any one  jumps up and says we are not a top european club take a  look at stats. We are about 10th best payers.

The only way I see GH staying is to completely move upstairs and we employee a very good young coach. Say someone like the chap who is  coaching Braga.

No it's in an hospital!

[Legion]

What's that?

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I meant were details of his appointment in the public domain, ie, had he, the hospital or anyone else made the appointment details public, which in my world view equates to 'public domain'. I don't doubt the physical location of his next appointment is in a hospital.

I think it's an Airplane style joke.

"Gerard has got to go back to hospital"
"Hospital? What is it?"
"It's a big building for sick people, but that isn't important right now"

I am serious and don't call me surely.

Randy Lerner will reluctantly sack Aston Villa Gerard Houllier for the sake of the manager's health.
And Villa's American owner will immediately target Everton boss David Moyes as the man he wants to take over

I'm a bit skeptical on that.
