Albrighton Going to Leicester

[LeeB]

I remember walk  out of the Reebok having just watched Houllier surrender a 2-1 lead and lose 3-2 . I thought as I walked out, bollocks to this Houllier shit I'm done with this bullshit football. Luckily he was gone soon after

To be replaced by TSM.

Unfortunately you cannot re-write history.

No, but it's salutary reminder to be careful what you wish for.

Whatever ambitions Houlllier might have had would have floundered on the spending restrictions that have since become the norm.

Perhaps, or perhaps he would have spent the money afforded to McLeish and subsequently Lambert better. And by that I am including the contracts and salaries handed out to the likes of Given and Hutton which continue to be an anchor around the neck of the club. Also, had the results improved under Houllier then one would assume the financial circumstances would be different. What I know is that despite the train wreck left by MON, Houllier was being supported significantly in the market while he has here.

Exactly . And TSM did a better job than GED.

How?

Well he finished lower, on fewer points, scoring fewer goals, playing worse football and winning fewer games. Dynamite.

Bring in Houllier, let him dampen down expectations, a little too quickly and effectively as it turned out before handing the reigns over to someone who really did dampen us.

If I was a conspiracy theorist I'd smell the stench of the Knuckle Draggers from 3 miles away.

Post of the Year.

Erm where were we when GED went ill. The last 9 or so games when we got good were down to GMac not GED.
GED don't get the credit for those games.

Wasn't he still picking the team?

with all due respect that is complete and utter bollocks. I'll look forward to your riposte

I think you will find history has been re-written by most Nations at some stage.

He did. Based on resource available and discount the games GMac bailed GED out the shit.

so basically, when he fell ill, Gary McAllister severed contact with Houllier and became the genius behind our improvement. Yes, you'll find that a solid platform from which to defend your position on McLeish being better than Houllier.
