    Houllier: Back him or sack him?

    in Villa Talk

    Posted

    I think it's good the transfer window soon opens. a lot needs to be done
    so,lets say from what MM was saying that there is about 10 bad eggs at the club,how is the transfer window going to help us. do you think that we'll sell 10 and buy there replacments??.because if they are still here they will still cause unrest because they just dont like the manager for whatever reason...

    I can see 2 or 3 going out this window, rest maybe in the summer.

    But I also hope we get 3 to 4 in in this window, I know it's much to hope for, but we need new blood.

    Where's the General when you need him?

    I don't think he come back here ever again.. I really don't blame him

    Amusing, you know he left because of the press and not the fans, he actually wants to come back but feels he can't right now because the press twist his every word. He didn't have a problem with the fans having a pop, he gave as good as he got.

    No. i'm sure Randy told him to stay away..

    and I don't think the General is sad about it :-)

    Who do you believe is at fault for this situation

    After having a good think about it my thoughts are the following :-

    The 6th places meant nothing, it got us nothing and we did not build on it. It may as well be 2 x 14th places for all the good it does. Barry, Milner and Young did not/ will not walk out of VP with a tear in there eyes looking back saying "sniff sniff, but they got 6 th twice in a row, should I really be leaving ?". If it was so ace where are they now ?

    I don't get the jump on GH and get him sacked asap, he has bought none of his own players in and who else is there that would make everyone happy. It does not really matter who is the manager, without funds they will all look clueless.

    Looking at the players in all the games this year I am off the opinion that Jose Mourinho or anyone would not have many more points than we have now. They are just not good enough. Yes we got 6 th twice but circumstances of the league and other teams helped with that IMO. (I am well aware the common response is going to be "Yeah but MON got 6th with this lot", if MON had not left we would still be where we are now, hard pill to swallow but there you go. reality hurts sometimes.

    We need someone upstairs who has a clue about football, a right hand man for Lerner. Filter the decisions by a Director of football, every decision. Dunno, thinking out loud, someone like Venables who has a bit of a clue.

    MON is virtually 99 % at fault for all this, ask yourself the question "what would have made him stay ?" (About 30M pound, that's what. He knew we were **** so he **** off or he thought we were well placed to go for the Holy Grail again and display the 6TH in big letters from an open top bus, he would not have left then though so i can conclude he knew we were in trouble and is such a Villa man he just went. The timing done to create maximum damage to the club. Nice one.!-)

    5 years to build a squad with virtually no re-sale value that has cost us how much in wages. The list is well known of the suicidal buys and failures. (Barry / Milner, yep we did well there money wise and the sale of them really pushed us on)

    I can't really lay much blame on Lerner, I would like to but find it difficult. I think he was just had over by MON.

    Watching the games without my Villa specs on we are playing some of the worst football I can remember, the Villa have put out some press stuff about how hard it is for any team to get real quality players in January. We will see, depends on who we want to sell though to get the market moving. When I said any team I mean just us it seems, our success rate in January is appalling but I am sure we will oil the wheels for everyone else though.

    To solve get a GK / CB / LB / AM / DM / ST. 30M - 40M spend needed in January or start putting the address's of Doncaster / Preston etc in your Tom Tom's ready for August.

    Agree with all you wrote. well conceived :-)

    3 days more, then can Randy and GH start to fix MON's errors.

    No panic

    No. Lerner can fix his own error by sacking Houllier and getting someone in competent enough to do the job in hand.

    I feel for Randy but he has made a mistake appointing Houllier, so the buck stops with him I'm afraid. The performances on the pitch are 100%Houllier's fault, though.

    If this was September I would be sighting O'Neill's depature as the reason as to why we are playing so shit, but not now.

    Sorry. but I am not panicking though, and believe the same thing as you .. I know the reason for this mess
