Maybe but the government still got elected even though the majority of the voters didn't want them. Lerner et al will be monitoring and gauging fans feelings. Whether they do anything about it is anyones guess.

I may have missed something but I thought that we didn't cope and that is why we lost.

But our form over the last few games has been top 6 form. GH is beginning to turn it around. One win in five? Have you ever considered a career on stage? You made me laugh... We won the 2 games previous to those 5 and we were very unlucky not to win today. We've just put together 2 of our best performance of the season back to back...if we'd have won today, which we would have done 8/10 with the chances we had, then we'd be 9th...2 points off 8th. Would people be moaning then??? They would wouldn't they If Bob had a sex change he would be my Auntie. If this, if that, if the other. The league table doesn't reflect 'ifs' it just reflects 'whats'.

Oh yea, every other club throughout history that has sacked their manager in March has had a pointless season the season after. How stupid of me to forget this.

Is that Welsh? :shock: No it's gibberish.

Let me have a think about that for a micro second. No, I don't think we should have 3 centre backs. If that was the route to success then Ferguson, Wenger, Redknapp, Ancelotti and Mancini plus quite a few others must be getting it wrong year upon year. So are you comparing us on a like to like basis with United, Arsenal City ect. We are knowhere as good as those teams - thats the point. If we had the players that those teams had then I would def say you are right but we dont. Whats your evidence for this? Heres mine...! How Many Goals from corners have we lately? How many clean sheets have we kept recently? How many set pieces have we conceded from lately? Was our defense better this year or last year....! Yardi Yarda Yardi....! Although Walker does look quality...! 8) Yardi Yarda Yardi.... how very immature. So you think having 3 centre backs and a left back is the way we should play? Why not 3 centre backs and a right back or is it that we are okay at left back and weak on the right side s a centre back at right full back is the solution. Be interested to know your experience as a player, coach and manager.

So those that want him to go know nothing about football. What is your football CV like?

I hate MON with a passion but actually our defence was pretty good and one of the best in the division.

What do you have to do to get a poll?

The problem is when we play worse than the opposition we generally lose and when we play better than the opposition we generally lose so by default there must be something wrong with the management of the situation.

As the thread originator I will say Go now. GC & KM can see us through to the end of the season and then we can appoint. There are other managers that know how to play football the right way and could get us to defend properly and who would not throw a cup match.

I asked for a poll at the start of the thread and again since.

It seems like the majority of respondents to this thread so far want him to Go. Keep your opinions coming in.

I know it is easy to start meandering off when posting on a thread, I've no doubt done it myself. If we could just stick to the topic and state stay or go with just a brief reason if necessary then I think, even without a poll, we may gauge a level of opinion.

Moderators, can we have a poll please.

There is no reason to lock the thread as the other threads have a different title and don't ask for a poll. Just trying to gauge opinion.

Moderators, can we have a poll please as to whether Houllier has the backing of the fans on this forum or whether it is time for him to go while there is still time for someone to keep us up and assess the damage in readiness for next season.

I actually don't think Wolves will 'park the bus' at VP. We are a soft touch at the back especially from set pieces and McCarthy will know that and ensure that hist team go for the jugular.

And do you think we will beat Wolves because I don't. Wolves will come and park the bus at VP and try to catch us out at set pieces. I can almost see McCarthy drilling his players for those sort of chances. OK sides can miss chances and we have missed plenty. The real problems we have are: We are such a soft touch at set pieces that its untrue and every side in the PL knows that. Equally we waste our set pieces and the chief culprit is Young. Woeful deliver from corners and his free kicks are just little short of laughable. GH is licking his arse on a permanent basis to get him to stay by making him the captain and giving him the opportunity to do precisely what he wants on the pitch. He'll be off in the summer whatever happens. The only good thing is we will get a decent fee for him. No I don't think we will beat Wolves. I have no faith in GH or his tactics. He blames everyone and everything but himself.

I am so glad that the manager threw the FA Cup match at Man Citeh in midweek because it made all the difference to the league result at Bolton didn't it. General, whilst you may not be in charge of Aston Villa you are the only person us fans can communicate with to get a message to Randy Lerner. Please take this message to him. See Gerard Houllier for what e really is and what he has done to our club and get rid of him before the end of the season and appoint someone that can assess what is needed to get us challenging again next season. If Mr Lerner fails to act then my son and I will not be the only ones that do renew their season tickets at the end of this very very depressing and disappointing season

This season is over. Houllier made that happen this week.

With the scum losing at home to the baggies and some of the other results going our way we had the perfect chance to climb away from danger. We now only have one game left this month to correct the **** ups Houllier has made this week. Lerner, I hope you were watching today because season ticket sales will reflect the results on the pitch.

I think you will find that we only had one experienced defender against Man Citeh too yet Houllier defended is team selection that night by stating that he played internationals and that he had a good squad and that he had to use it. Based on his logic then there can be no excuse for the fact that 3 of the defenders today were 21 and under. He dictates the tactics in the match, he dictates the training methods, he picks the team and he is the manager so it is his responsibility.

Houllier has been unable to get the team to defend properly since the day he walked through the door. It doesn't matter who he picks they just leak goals.
