Houllier was simply around for too short a period for anyone to make a proper judgement. Personally, results aside, that felt to me like that was the last time we had someone in charge with a coherent approach and a sense of where he wanted to go with the squad and the type of football we should be playing.

i agree to an extent but it just shows more fuckwittery  on our part. i know lets appoint a manager who has been out of the game for ten years on a day to day basis because of his heart and then acting surprised when he has to stand down with the same thing.

obviously his health is the most important and im glad he is okay but we dont make it easy do we. 

the only thing more stupid would be to pay 3 million to get mcleish...

Houllier had, and still has, plenty of faults. However, Dullins having a big whinge because they didn't want to do a bit of extra jogging instead of getting pissed after training is not really something to blame him for, I feel.

Wouldn't blame him for that in principle. It coincided with a long injury list though.

We paid money for McLeish.
We actually paid someone else compensation.
We actually paid money to recruit him.
McLeish.

I remember General K trying to appease people on here by suggesting something along the lines of 'look what he did at Blues - a cup and only just being relegated! Imagine how much better he'll do at a good club!'

Staggering.

My recollection was that it was worse because he also said something along the lines of imagine what he could do with a transfer budget behind him. Of course I could be totally wrong - it is four years of unremitting shite ago

I can't remember who posted it but someone here listed one of his "achievements" as leading Rangers to 3rd places in the SPL.

The noses hated him and couldn't wait to be rid - despite their sole cup win in living memory.

didn't he have Cabaye lined up for us?
But signed JIIM .
He also had Omar Cummings lined up.

He signed Jean Makoun in January but Cabaye was due to come in the following season. Makoun wasn't signed instead of him.

How did I miss us getting to the FA Cup final between 2006 and 2010? Did we win?

I gave up reading when I got to "donkey shit from scum heath" in the first paragraph, which followed a claim we were in the FA Cup final between 2006 and 2010.

There was also the young lad who failed a medical and I think moved to Lyon.
