I agree with some of it, but not all.
It's a good pice though.
and this but, while accurate to a point, does not get to the real point of Houllier not being a 'Villa Man'.
Houllier was, quite clearly, still a 'Liverpool Man'. I'll make no excuses for saying I think the man was a massive c*ck. He took the Villa job despite still being obsessed by his beloved Liverpool. He felt wronged by his departure there, and felt he had a point to prove.
he denigrated Villa before he was even appointed, and took every opportunity to deflect any blame for anything bad away from his door.
Ignoring the farcical nature of his appointment and the farce of that first press conference, he continued to be obsessed with Liverpool, and the crowning dog turd of his tenure came when he effectively jizzed all over liverpool and the now infamous Livergate scandal, where he touched the Anfield sign on the way to the dug out, and then ignored the Villa fans at the final whistle, preferring instead to applaud his beloved scouse fans.
And then seemed quite happy at having lost to them. And then didn't even realise what the fuss was about, and came out with some feeble forced apology a few days later.
W*nker of ther highest order.
All of the above, plus he was shite at getting us any points. What a catch.
