The future of Houllier and McAllister?

[DB]

If he comes back then that will be the last nail in the coffin for me to re-new my ST. Health issues aside, I just don't think he has done a very good job.

[Risso]

If the club are daft enough to go into the summer and then the new season with Houllier still in charge, then they deserve everything they get.

This may seem harsh but I wonder if geds health issue has made it awkward for randy and if he had planned to sack him but maybe now would find it difficult or somewhat heartless to do so, in view of the recent illness?

[cdbearsfan]

Fucking July? Get on with it! If we miss out on Foster while they are making their minds up I won't be happy.

[Greg N'Ash]

I want GH to stay providing he's fit but if Randy decides otherwise he has to be ruthless. I'm sure a few knobheads in the press will portray him as heartless but he has to bite the bullet and quickly. After all if we go into the season with half a squad because we delayed making a decision and struggle, none of them will be praising him for his kindness

I was thinking the same thing.  Guess if it is the case they'll need to sit down and say "We can sack you or say it's medical grounds - your choice." 

MY own biggest concern is not him coming back, but what happens is similar issues occur again next season.  Is that a chance the club is willing to take?

we bought Ireland with no manager , dont worry

Which, I would say, is fairly likely.

Then we're stuck with G-Mac as our manager. Not good enough.

Whatever the improvements made during the last month or so, I fear that there is a whiff of spoiled goods around Houllier and the regime. Even if the quacks declare him fitter than a butchers dog, the board are going to have to take the feelings of the fans into consideration as whether they like it or not, there are many fans that are hoping the illness leads to a dignified exit and closure of a rather depressing season.  If nothing is done and he is back at the helm come July then I really fear that there is going to be a vociferous backlash from a small but vocal group.

Agree.
Another season of struggle with him in charge, i'm afraid.
I'm glad the season is over, i've had a gutful of it all.

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Houllier: Hi mr Foster. I am currently waiting for my "Aorta" to heal. But if all goes well would you be interested in joining us ? No disrespect to Houllier (i like him) but this should be taken out of his hands for all concerned ......

If they make a change then another small but gobby group will be on the new bloke's back in 5 minutes flat if he doesn't make a good start. The club have to do what they think is right, not be swayed by over exciteable fans.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Am I the only one that thinks GH will still be our manager next season?

[cdbearsfan]

I think he will. I think he won't be back at work till July by which time all the decent players we could've signed will have agreed deals elsewhere and we will spend July and August haggling over the Young fee before selling him for about £12 million, by which time it will be too late to locate a replacement. But then I am feeling like a bit of a misery-arse today.

[Concrete John]

Am I the only one that thinks GH will still be our manager next season?

Nope - I'm also finding it increasingly likely given what we're hearing and the longer it goes without the club taking action the more likely that is due to him staying.
