Richard Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I would have liked him to have got Steve Clarke in. Shrewd move by Kenny Dalglish at Plop. I can't help thinking that GH's backroom staff is wrong and he could do with a much better number two.What number is this on the list of excuses for why Houllier is crap? We have had Injuries MONS fault The players are just not performing He is changing things and the players cannot cope with it Unlucky Wrong type of snow on the pitch Players not following his instructions He needs defensive coaches Just the problem with our glorious attacking play The league is too tight this year Gone from expecting a win to saying well we couldn't really expect to beat them or anyone in this league (this can be used after playing any team it seems) MONS fault (again) Now his back room team are rubbish WHO APPOINTED THEM FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 12, 2011 Moderator Share Posted January 12, 2011 My problem with McAllister is that he seems to have come here to learn the ropes. I don't want a #2 coming here to learn the ropes, I want him here to impart knowledge that he got elsewhere. Gary Mac doesn't have a long and successful CV as a #2. It's a very different job to being a manager. I've no issue with Sid because he effectively has 2 people above him. But, like others, I wish our assistant was more experienced in his role. I'd love if we went for Wilkins but something tells me Houllier is loyal and would not ditch Gary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just saying a better assistant would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a bit disappointed we didn't try to snap up Steve Clarke before he went over to Liverpool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I said sack and it won't change if results can't improve but it'll be interesting now, hopefully in a couple of weeks, we'll have 3/4 of his own buys in, probably another 2/3 out. See if we can kick on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 wouldnt want Wilkins near our club. He is a word removed. His commentary on Chelsea vs Villa 2 weeks ago was a disgrace. You would think Villa had only just fired him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Biased towards a team he likes? sue him! Just like we shouldn't allow Collymore on the radio! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 why should he be doing games if he is biased? Plus im sure if we sacked Collymore he would be bitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 So he'd be like you commentating on an Ireland vs England game then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Wanted him sacked for the past month, but the time to do so has passed. It's time to back him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 So he'd be like you commentating on an Ireland vs England game then? I assume you have never listened to Irish commentary. Their is never biased at all especially when Ireland is playing. But its a bit of a stupid point you making as why would i be doing ciommentary on a game like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Wanted him sacked for the past month, but the time to do so has passed. It's time to back him.You know strangely I did think earlier that I would be in this camp as I have said that it is difficult to sack a manager at this stage unless there is no alternative. However I truly believe there is no alternative Sackity sack sack and dont look back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I truly believe there is no alternative Sackity sack sack and dont look back Oh I still want him sacked in the back of my mind, but in the knowledge that he's not going to get sacked, its best to get behind him. That doesnt mean I think people shouldnt be criticising him on here, but it does mean that the Houllier out chants need to stop. It isnt going to happen and its not going to help.

Collymores reaction was amazing. lol when I'm bored sometimes I listen to that and the guy from Fanzone calling Terry a mug and actually laugh out loud.

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Should we not win in the next three games, surely there is no alternative but to let go? becuase if we don't win in the next 3, it's going to be 4 (United after) then we're in some pretty deep poo, still get-outable (good word) but certainly won't look promising.
