Well look like the Daily Mail have jumped the gun and proclaimd Gerard Houllier as the new Villa manager

LINK

Makes total sense so much so I had £10 at 10-1 last night

PL experience that Faulkner said, Randy went to Paris and he has a record of winning things abiet on one season 2000-1 10 seasons ago !

OK put this on the line, I do not want him, at 62 he is not the future and whether as a Director of Football which has never worked in English football or as a manager. Now I will support him, I do wish him well but I fear this appointment will be bad for us and no point me trying to dress up how I feel for the fear of being called ‘negative’.

So if he comes what could we get, a manager whose transfer record is poor

Have a look at these signings

Poor all round, £25m on Cisse and Heskey ??? A few good signing like Riise but overall very underwhelming.

A manager whose tactics were defined as negative, a manager who the Liverpool fans wanted out and claimed he never played the kids from the reserves.

So it has took Randy 4 weeks to get an out of work manager who has not had a job for three years, well lets say I am bloody underwhelmed at that, Houllier is no Mike Holmgren !

HOWEVER I should not need to type this I hope Randy and Houllier prove me wrong and we go on to have great success.

EDIT 00:23 – The guardian reporting that it is Houllier and Kevin MacDonald as coach, exactly what Graham Taylor said it should be, so it was Taylor advising Randy and not Klinnsman. Again appears the cheaper option to me and a massive risk by Randy.
