KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Gerard Houllier steps down as manager of villa

Are they all as cluless as you?

Houllier fell ill against leeds United the season after we'd won the treble. That p!sses on your chips doesnt it.

Pisses on yer chips......pricless

no not really i have never said he was good, bad or indifferent at liverpool i was just asking a question all i have said is he was sh!t at villa witch he was. witch you can't accept because he was a liverpool manager

Which I agree with - but the implication was that Hughes was an average manager, benefitting solely from what Hodgson did at the club

You spoke of his failure with Wales yet when he had taken over they were going through a bad patch, but in the five years with Hughes in charge Wales came close to qualifying for Euro 2004 but ended up losing to Russia in the play offs

I can't remember the last Welsh manager to even get that far - and whilst Wales did have some exciting attacking players (many of whom of whom were made unavailable by their club managers) their defence was as weak as it had been before

any objective commentsator can see that Highes is a pretty decent manager. I suggested that your failure to do so was motivated by your dislike of Man Utd

If that's not the case I take it back

But Hughes is better suited to the Villa job than Houllier ever was - even if that is primarily dye to the Frenchman's health

And Houllier didn't do an awful job at Villa. He wasn't particularly good but awful is a term than can only be applied to a select few - Graham Sounness and Roy Hodgson for what they both did at Liverpool included

Again you've twisted things from previous posts. I just stated a fact that Hughes is benefitting from foundations laid down by Hodgson. At no point have I stated that Hughes hasnt done a good job at Fulham or a dislike for him because he played for Utd. I suggeste you conecentrate when reading my posts. I'm not blinkered enough to let petty things like that cloud my judgement.

With regards to Wales the nationl sied didnt qualify for the euros because of Hughes and his lack of tactical ambiton and to a degree knowledge. Terry Yorath almost got the country to a world cup.

O'Neil walked because he knew the team wasnt good enough and was going to struggle. Houllier wasnt a failure at Villa because you cant judge what he did on the basis of 9 months. Houllier is a good manager regardless of him being and ex Liverpool manager. Ged was instrumental in france winning the world cup and then later the european championship. You have no knowledge of past acheivemnts because your naive and cant be bothered to learn. Your all what modern day football supporters are about wanting instant results and have respect. You'll be supporting someone else in a few years when Liverpool arent winning the treble week in week out.

Will you be calling for Kennys head if we're not top by April? Lets not worry about the past we deal in the now isnt that what you said in an earlier post House?!

Wouldnt expect anything less from a clown like you.

For the record our most successfull spell under Ged was the season before he was ill.

Your the last person on this forum who should be mentioning people being abusive. Nothing wrong with Houllier stamping down some authority at a club. God knows we need it at the time. Within hindsight Houllier getting rid of Fowler was a blessing in disguise getting 11million for him. We'll never know how he would have done at Villa but it would have been better than O'Neil acheived at the club but then your a fan of the long ball merchant arent you?

Only reason they where in a relegation fight was because O'Neil left them in such a state 5 days before the season kicked off.

O'Neil spent a fortune and under acheived for years playing a brand of football that belonged in the 1980's.
