MrDuck Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Houllier is: a) French Well past it c) Dreadful in the transfer market d) French 4 excellent reasons not to employ him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelboyVilla Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 It's funny that when MON was in charge alot of people on here wanted a DoF now he's gone people seem to hate the idea?? What we have to remember is that MON left most of the day to day training pitch stuff to JR and SW so the player will be used to that kind of set up? Houllier is not that bad an appointment IMO rather him than Sven or Curbs to be honest?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add in the fact that when MON was in charge a lot of people wanted to see us take a punt on untried foreign talent. Now were looking at a manager that might its the wrong way to go.

AstonMartin82 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I can't stand Liverpool but when he left there I was delighted. I would be so unbelievably underwhelmed with Houllier I really don't know if I could turn up to VP for a very very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holtender4life Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 To the people who say they will not go to VP if houllier appointed.... Bye then, jog on, see you later as aston villa dont need fans like you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted September 3, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted September 3, 2010 Shocked by the negative reaction to Houllier. I'd be delighted. me too...would people rather kev mac who masterminded our early exit from europe, lost 6-0 to a bottom half team, and had so little shape vs everton that we were taken apart for 90mins?

alienvillan Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Whatever the name of the new manager is I will enjoy watching Aston Villa. This is exciting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggaman Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Anyone apart from Curbishley, Southgate, Brown or Pardew will do for me.... I do think we should try to aim high though, being that we really need to try to push on and this will have a long term impact on us. I really think Sven is one of the best we have been linked to.

Tom_L Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 None of the names are particularly inspiring to me but i am suprised by the negative (hatred almost?) towards Houllier, remember it was essentially his team of players who won the champions league for liverpool. Don't get me wrong, he wouldn't me my first choice but the negativity towards him is unjustified in my opinion... my major concern about him is his health. Bringing him in as a director of football would not work (when has DOF ever worked in this country), as soon as KM has a dodgy game or two suddenly the media (and fans out of panic) will be asking for GH to take over the reins. As others have said i don't believe KM is where he needs to be tactically to be considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienvillan Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I do think we should try to aim high though, being that we really need to try to push on ... A "Mourinho" just isn't available. And probably not interested. I'm pretty confident that the decision makers are realistic and aiming as high as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYSTERYMAN Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 If it is Houllier and KM whilst it's certainly not as exciting as Moyes or Hughes BUT I can see some merit in it . Houllier will be the mentor and has a vast knowledge of the game here and abroad so will have good contacts and does know how to win a trophy . We might actually see some inovation in the transfer marker from abroad , KM who let's be honest give him the job and he wouldn't last he hasn't the experience or the infrastructure in place to cope although I am unsure about him anyway at this level . This to me is a half way house KM from the players comments is well respected and a good coach if we were to appoint someone brand new who bought his team in then KM would most likely be either disillusioned or the new set up take him out anyway . Houllier has won things and is no donkey you can't argue his recorrd but will appear uninspiring but yet I think a safe option . The biggest issue for me is still MON's timing it's fxxxed us over .

And probably not interested. I'm pretty confident that the decision makers are realistic and aiming as high as possible. I'm aware that someone as high up as Mourinho wouldn't want to come. However, I just hope they don't sell our team short and go for some poor manager like Curbishley etc. If we do get someone like that, then they have clearly got the person to save money and not to aim high.... If we go for McDonald, then it will be clear that Lerner has gone with the cheapest option. I really am worried that he may be our new manager.

Wainy316 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Has there been some kind of confirmation that a new manager has been decided upon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepDish Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Houllier is probably the best we can get. I think this has been a point being made by the alleged "MON fans" all the time; that we probably will not get a better manager after MON leaves.

Jez Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Don't let the General read that. He wouldn't be too happy with you having a go at Faulkner. Any time I've noticed him he never seems interested in our football. He should piss off and teach history or some bollocks. Should he have pissed off and left us with Ellis? Some people on this board are ridiculous with their comments. He fits all the criteria Randy was after, Moyes Jol etc are in jobs who else is he going to bring in...? This magical manager which will get everything done and please all the fans. For starters we will have value for money in the transfer market rather than restricting ourself to the uk.
