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

he would have been sacked, surely? who'd keep him?

If Lerner wanted to sack him he would have done it as soon as Houllier was first taken ill. That was the perfect opportunity but he didnt he kept faith in Ged and Gary Mac for the remainder of the season and both parties have agreed its best for the long term future of Houlliers health if he steps down.

i think houllier is an average manager and he did an awful job at villa. but o'neill respected in the world of football i can't see that

Ged won more trophies in one season than O'Neil has in his whole career as both a player and manager.

Ged is hugely respected in the football world.

You couldnt make this sh!t up.

you don't sack a man on his sick bed and to sack him while gary mac was doing his thing would have been stupid. lerner had to sack houllier he has hated by all of the fans literally all of them

Why not? Its the perfect opportunity.

Emp can, Emp does...regualary.

Djimi Traore won the european cup as player. Means naff all.

In the premier league O'neil won the league cup twice and before I forget the peace cup with Villa.

Houllier won, league cup twice, the FA cup, the Uefa cup, uefa super cup and the community sheild. He also masterminded the French winning the world cup and European championships.

We could always bring in the argument what O'neil won in Scotland but lets be honest even you'd win the league up there Emp.

Houllier wins the trophie hall hands down. He also won these trophies with the ball on the floor and not kicking teams off the park.

You on a dodgy baccy tonight Emp?
