Mr_Dogg Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Gerard Houllier will consider reuniting with former Liverpool assistant Phil Thompson GERARD Houllier will consider reuniting with former Liverpool assistant Phil Thompson when he completes his return to English football with Aston Villa in the next 48 hours. Thompson was Houllier’s No2 at Anfield during his six-year reign and is set to move to the Midlands club with the Frenchman. Villa are on the verge of appointing Houllier as Martin O’Neill’s permanent replacement. He is expected to be offered a traditional managerial type of role, but caretaker boss Kevin MacDonald, who is popular with the players and has chairman Randy Lerner’s support, is likely to stay at the club and could still have a role with the first team. Houllier, who turned 63 last week, refused to be drawn on the subject of the Villa job when questioned after attending Jamie Carragher’s testimonial at Anfield on Saturday. He left Liverpool six years ago and has been employed as his country’s technical director since parting company with Lyon in 2007, but he has come under fire after France’s disappointing World Cup. noooooooooooooooooooooossseeeee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewiek2 Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I wouldn't be adverse to Thompason as Houliers number two. He has always spoken quite sensibly about Villa and I think he was a very very good number two whilst at Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracker1234 Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Chris is just another day and another name for people to slag off. Sure he has a big nose, I'm very sure he knows that himself....Lets slag him off for it as we can't find any other faults. He knows his stuff and I don't remember him saying anything bad about AV, but lets slag him off anyway huh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukes Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Phil Thompson is a very good assistant manager, regardless of what he is like as a person. How can you know what he is like as an Assistant Manager ? By their very nature Assistant Managers don't really get credited with much, so how do you KNOW he's such a good one ? However, much as I don't like Phil Thompson (from what little I have seen of him on Soccer Saturday), if Houllier is our man, and PT is his, then i'll welcome them both. I do hope he finds room for people with a strong Villa connection too though (maybe Brian Little) Would still rather have Moyes, but that looks less and less likely now.

How can you know what he is like as an Assistant Manager ? By their very nature Assistant Managers don't really get credited with mush, so how do you KNOW he's such a good one ? Because he took Liverpool to 2nd place in the league when Houllier was in hospital? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
