Just a hunch but I don't think the players liked Houllier & McAllister much...

First bit of encouraging news for a while. Gabby is not one to go to press as we all know and he has remained positive in public.
If 'Not-Sir' Alex can continue building team spirit, hopefully it will begin to show on the pitch. Let's hope its not too long coming!

It's understandable considering the season he had last year.  Anybody would think about their options.

He did have a fair few injuries last season, it seems to me his beef is that he's not used to being on the bench. However no one player should expect to start every game in my opinion

Yes while we go on about the off field decline it does look like Mcleish has started to build that same Blues mentality of togetherness. If he can inject some flair into the hard to beat style then we will do well

Wonder why he signed that contract then?

Is he just saying what he thinks we want to hear?

Taking the focus off McLeish?

If so he'd be better advised wait until we actually lose a game and AM needs focus taken off of him.

I like Gabby however he is never going to play for a bigger club than us so if he did think about leaving it would have been for a lesser club on less money. No brainer really

Bit of a different reaction to when Dunne criticised Houllier. Houllier and McAllister were the worst things to happen to us since Billy McNeill first turned up.Funny really that despite Mcleish'sprevious employer i've warmed to him and I never could with Houllier.

Why are some of the players publicly bashing Gerard now? They have achieved nothing this season.

Maybe its our lads that have the attitude? Houllier hasn't won what he has in the game by being a mug
