Well done on Houllier, General, good choice. Might not be the biggest name, but we could have done a lot worse. Here's to a bright future with exciting football, and a manager prepared to look abroad for signings (hopefully).
Kind of a middle of the road appointment for me. There were a lot worse candidates, and some better. But I'm happy to give him a chance. Hopefully he will use his knowledge to sign some bargain French youngsters. Welcome Gerard.
No one will care about the style of play if it's successful..if Houllier manages to win us a cup or get top 4, I won't care if it's the most boring football on the planet.
We are going to get such a mauling - I think the result might be even worse than last season. Carlos Cuellar is our only fit centre back FFS. I'd be satisfied with anything less than a 3 goal defeat. Oh, how times change...
What's going on at our great club General? We are a shadow of the team we were 12 months ago, and whilst this isn't all MON's fault (Laursen retiring), he must take some of the blame. No one made him sell Barry at the start of the transfer window. Why didn't we sign a replacement before letting him go? We seem to be the only team in the country that lets players go without having replacements signed (or on the brink of signing) i.e. Zat Knight - still can't believe we don't have a replacement for him or Laursen. We are fast becoming a joke. We often sign over priced English 'duds' - do we actually scout abroad at all?? We play some of the most boring football I have seen in years - it was boring when we were on that great run last season - we just got VERY lucky in a number of games. We have a paper thin squad and it seems half of the first team have fallen out with MON. So quite a simple question really - what is going on????
