Rich_D Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Seems the people who hate Houllier know more about him than I do. Interesting... Still, he manages Villa. End of. People on here act as if he prioritises Liverpool over Villa. A lot like the situation with Torres. The fans that actually care that he isn't scoring seem to be the gloating Liverpool fans saying that Chelsea but a prospective talent with a recognisable name....Give over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maradona10 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I'm glad he isn't scoring for them, because Torres will never be called a waste of money from the press however if it was Bent, the knives would be out for him in the press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Houllier has made some mistakes no doubt but it's not as if he is intentionally trying to sabotage the club . I can see what he is trying to do and with a full pre season , with a squad he can truly call his , I think we can progress . He Is only human at the end of the day and in no way deserves the vitriol he gets on here . As long as he starts learning from his mistakes and sorts the back 5 out ,then hopefully we can kick on and forget this abortion of a season . There are times when I want rid of the guy but the I remember how I mock clubs who go through gaffers like Charlie Sheen goes through coke and whores . It's a cliche but we all know even Fergie was a slow starter . There are no quick fixes , unless you strike oil , so we will just have to be patient . It may be painful and we may lose top players to wealthier clubs but if we are canny there are stil ways to succeed . If we can't outspend them then we can certainly out-youth them . Just have to keep the kids together and wait . We will be a force in the coming years , I have no doubts . I agree with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted March 8, 2011 Author Moderator Share Posted March 8, 2011 Nope, I never said that. He didn't. It's the logical conclusion of your statement, otherwise it makes no sense to say it. He did, my eyes didn't deceive me, he was too busy standing glassy eyed and standing to attention when the Kop sang at him to notice Villa were playing their worst game for many a year (I still rate the performance as worse than Citeh away). He waved at the Liverpool fans and did not acknowledge the Villa ones, Villa fans are all part and parcel of Aston Villa, he therefore prioritised Liverpool over Villa on that night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 He definitely prioritised the fans of Liverpool there, Mantis is I believe referring to the team he put out, which was missing Ashley Young was it not, and Marc Albrighton just back from his appendix operation.

Maradona10 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Yes we were missing Young but they were missing Carragher, Gerrard and Torres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 We were poor that night. If I remember rightly we had no attacking impetus due to our attack being under strength and our defence being poor. Again, a lot of that was Houllier's fault.

NowDoINotLikeThat Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Yes we were missing Young but they were missing Carragher, Gerrard and Torres.

pacbuddies Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I can't recall any other Villa manager having the chant 'You're getting sacked in the morning' levelled at them. Perhaps someone could put me right here if I missed it over the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted March 8, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted March 8, 2011 I'd hate to be a club which sacks a manager who hasnt had a pre-season/summer to make the squad his. That's something Newcastle would do and it's tragic really. GH deserves another season IMO. If all the same problems are still here next year then get rid. But if not, then, happy days surely?
