Well, as much as I hate to say it, Houllier has ruined Villa completely, making them lose to teams like Birmingham. He was quite good at Liverpool but I think he isn't good enough for the Premier League anymore, more suited for the Championship/Ligue 2. The signing of Bent was good though!
Birmingham are hardly a bad side and Villa have had a bad record against them for years.
Hopefully he manages to keep them up but it will be tough for him if reports about the unrest in the dressing room are true.

I hope Matty doesn't see that XD
It did see it, but i don't take ridiculous opinion into account...
no matter what anyone thinks of us, a Quarter final cup tie, at our home ground, in a local derby would make the result almost impossible to predict! Not really Houllier's fault, they were unlucky on the night...
Im sure Villa fans aren't really thinking too much about that unlucky night they had at St Andrews, they are thinking how much their squad is divided in the dressing room, and knowing that they are by no means safe!
It is worrying times for all 4 west midlands sides, and it is a massively strong possibility that one of us will go if not more!
McAllister is talking out of his backside, there is definite unrest at Villa, it is widely known! If Houllier is allowed to stick around long enough you will all see the HUGE overhaul that he implements on the squad.
Lol what? That's rubbish. Before our draw with them we'd had six straight wins.
Yeah, huge overhaul. Huge overhaul of the defence, anyway...
It was MON that was our thorn in the derby games... the Blue half of Brum erupted when he left :$
Ye definitely, Collins and Dunne have kicked off massively haven't they?! and many are following suit!!
I bet you did! Positively awful manager at everything apart from getting the best out of his players though. That said, at getting the best out of his players he is one of the best in the world. Makes me think he'd probably be good at international management...
Dunne's a useless sack of unmentionables now. Collins I hold hope for, but King Carlos is the only one who's even been near the standard required apart from Clark and the fullbacks.
Would you prefer to have had MON using 13 players a season and comfortably cementing top 10, or have what you have now... I have always wanted him as England manager!!
It is funny how you have that opinion of Dunne all my villa mates like him :$ Collins is a class act, has to be said
See if, and it's a big if cos to an extent I don't want youse too, but if you were to go down, what would be the fee to for Cuellar d'you reckon ?
Who you calling 'ridiculous'? You lost to them 4-1 a couple of years back, and Villa dominated. I wasn't saying Birmingham were bad, it's just Villa normally beat them, like I would be ****** if Dalglish lost to Everton, as we normally beat them.
Steve Sidwell - 6 mil (50k p/w)
Nigel Reo-Coker - 8.5 mil
Emile Heskey - 3.5 mil (50k p/w)
Moustapha Salifou - Over a million (4.5 k p.w, but NEVER EVER STARTS)
That's just four. Not to mention the archaic training methods (players given two days off a week) and lack of squad rotation: average amount of players started under him over a season was 14.
On the face of it, MON was great. When you delve below that, he debilitated us.
That's true! Heskey and Sidwell were the worst ever signings. Reo-Coker was a bit expensive but he was good then and Salifou is good backup (although MON never used backups, lol
) and on a good wage. I used to think MON was a great manager, but yeah, like you said.Im not calling you specifically ridiculous, the opinion that you stated was, as it had no real basis.
In fact we lost 5-1. They had a run of 6 games beating us, prior to that run we beat them 4 times on the trot and drew a few times and was unbeaten against them in like 7 or 8 games.
All of that is irrelevant as i clearly stated, cup quarter final, at OUR ground, in a local derby, does that really highlight Houllier's failure as Villa boss by losing to a local rival in that manner?
Good point, derbies can be very unpredictable. I get where you're coming from but the derby loss really annoyed their fans, who were used to winning before he came.
