not saying you are wrong at all, but at some point we have got to make our choice.
we cant have young and exciting as well as proven and experienced.
we cant criticise mon for only ever buying average solid players from england and then complain about a manager with a reputation for taking gambles on unknowns from abroad.
in fairness to houllier, the pressure on him at liverpool was a lot higher than it will be at villa. he was scared of losing becasue despite having finished second in the league and winning a bag full of cups he was still being criticised because they hadnt won the league.
I believe that Houllier has the experience and the contacts to do some kind of a job at Villa. My concerns are purely personal as I like to watch reasonably entertaining football and I hope to see our youth brought through as and when they are ready.
I know that my point of view is not necessarily a winning formula, but I would love to see what our current crop of players could achieve with a couple of seasons of really positive leadership and some quality coaching.
Yes, one thing is certain, under MON we played very attractive football 8) all the time. I suggest we wait and see what will happen. Most important in the end is to win games. Everyone like to see entertaining football, but not naiv.
