I think a lot of footballers who played under Houllier disliked him. Even those who had a degree of success under him. He was originally a school teacher and it would appear he continued acting like a school teacher when he was a manager. He had no real career as a player and unlike Wenger and Mourinho he didn't have the personality to make up for it. On the other side of the coin we are still waiting to see how well Richard Dunne and Stephen Ireland do as managers.
This sounds pretty damning, but then Stephen Ireland is quite possibly the biggest wanker who ever played for Aston Villa.

See Donald Trump and John Bolton, for instance.
