TrentVilla Posted January 5, 2011 Moderator Share Posted January 5, 2011 I don't think it settles anything down to be honest. The only thing a statement like that might settle down is press speculation about Houllier's future but there wasn't much of that to start with but regardless of the point at Chelsea it will soon start if the league position and results don't improve. The backing from Faulkner has done little if anything to change my view of Houllier so far and I doubt it has done for a lot of other fans, the only thing that will improve that is results. He needs results and wins and that needs to start tomorrow or he has to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I just hope that everyone gets behind the players and the manager tonight. Any negativity will make the players nervous and play into the hands of the opposition. It's going to be a tough game and we all need to be patient. If we lose this one they are going to be really nervous in the game against Blues and we definitely cannot afford to lose that one. I do think that would be the final straw for the fans and things might just go downhill rapidly if we did lose the next two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Tbh Pires is only speaking his mind and telling the people what everyone knows already the point against chelsea was a good one as nobody expected us to get anything from the game. However this has not changed our league position we still remain hovering above the relegation zone and should we fail to win against Sunderland tonight i think the fans could still turn. Adding to that a failure in the FA Cup against championship opposition it will only add more pressure to houllier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 what is going on with Pires? Just read his quotes on SSN. What a tosser... Flaming french dumb ass for coming out with that, especially on the day of such a big game and our current plight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I'm pleased that the club have come out and backed GH today via Paul Faulkner. I think it settles things down a bit and we can focus on the football and climbing the table. I still want him to bring in a couple of players this window though. Really looking forward to the Sunderland game.I hope it is the dreaded vote of confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This! we are still walking the tightrope and as the results last night illustrated the teams around us are also fighting for their premiership lives. We desperately need a win tonight!

sonic_bouma Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Pires can piss off...... who does he think he is saying the manager has 2 games to save his job? we might only have the services of your useless old legs for a few months but that doesn't give you the right to speak so negatively about us you utter tosser!

Richard Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Where are the Pires quotes. I totally disagree with them if he says that Houllier only has two games to save his job. For me it is one game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fran_villa Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Pires is dead right to say he's only got two games, thats all the silly old fool should get imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted January 5, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted January 5, 2011 Did he not just say the "next two games would be very, very decisive" or something along those lines? I think he just meant the next two games are just massive games, which they are... Also said there would be a lot of departures too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggyrichard Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I agree with Pieface. There is nothing there which is remotely bad with what he is saying. Some of you need to chill out and actually read what his comments were before calling for his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I said 4 points or unbeaten from next 3 games after City game. So he has at least until the Blues game for me. Although that's not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 We used to have monthly approval ratings threads for the manager ( I think started by Gingo but cant be sure ) be interesting to have one now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
