I honestly couldn't give a shit if we went out of the cup on Saturday and I bet GH and Lerner don't really care either. Our main priority this season, which is embarassing to type, must be survival.
Houllier needs to be backed financially in this window by Lerner if he is to stay. None of this £10m crap, £30m at least in order to rebuild the team now. If Lerner is not prepared to give Houllier that money then sack him as we will not get better without 5 or 6 new faces or a new manager.
Hopefully Randy realises that he can't have it both ways. We are at a massive crossroads with our season, and our long term ambition. We either stick with GH and he is backed well or he is replaced. It is clear for everyone to see what will happen if he stays but is not given significant funds now to sort out whatever issues he thinks are within the squad.
Sadly I fear that Randy wants to keep him and not spend much, in which case I will need to start looking for quick routes to Vicarage Road and Fratton Park.
