The Big Question

[Truered]

Now we have got 4th Does Foullier keep his job for another season??

 

NO.

[Hermes]

Yes, he shouldn't but he will. We've known since October that this was the highest we could finish, for the board to sack him now would make them look foolish. Or foolisher!!!!

[Nunavut Patrick]

Minimum acceptable target achieved. Given Moores history with managers he isn't going to sack him.

 

There was a pundit on telly here the other day who was fairly confident that GH was safe, and he said that five weeks into next season there'd be the same debate going on.

[Truered]

Who was that NP the football know it all loud mouth Don Cherry!!

I wondered where JohnB had got to.

[Nunavut Patrick]

Actually, here to be a pundit all you have to have is a Scottish accent (fellas name is Bobby McMahon). Don Cherry rolls out the Rivaldo dive against Turkey everytime he goes on a rant about diving. :) Him and Jim Rome hate "soccer".

[Truered]

Someone should gag don cherry permenently.

 

When the world cup was on last time I was in USA, we had FoxSporrts world commentators, is it true that all of them know fuck off about football.

 

Every sentance had words like offensive play defensive play did my head in!

[Nunavut Patrick]

Alot of commentators here just watch the WC to listen to play-by-play. There is an admiration because of the use of language, and that they mostly do it without a color commentator. I find North American commentary lacking. One of the best commentaries was a Sunderland-Leicester match, dunno who it was:

The score is nil-nil. The temperature is nil and the entertainment value is also nil.

[Hermes]

 

offensive play defensive play

 

Houllier has managed to produce both of these descriptions over the last 18 months. Is he a French Canadian?

Sounds like some of are matches this year that!!!!!

[Truered]

With Champs league qualification secured, new financing about to happen, it is time for a fresh start and that has to start with a change of leadership.

 

Therefore foullier must go, he has taken us as far as he can, and that was 2 years ago.

[Nunavut Patrick]

Frenchman put mayonaise on their chips, French Canadians put gravy and cheese on theirs- so how does Houillier like his chips? He doesn't care as long as they fall on fourth place. (I think I'll have to cut myself off the ale now)

 

btw, don't ever buy Latvian lager. Tastes too sweet and has an awful aftertaste. Perhaps too close to Chrnolybl.

[Rushian]

ffs True Red can't you just call him by his name - "foullier" and the like is very Millwall ...

FFS Rushain can't you just call him by his true name, and the like is very blueshite!

[Truered]

Anyway the reason I call him Foullier is because he is always trying to make fools of us all, he honestly thinks we are all happy and celebrating at a fantastic 4th place achievement, well excuse me but fuck off I am not.

We should be challenging for the title period, not scrambling for crumbs behind other teams, but no he fools us into thinking 4th place is acceptable for LFC.

Just leave and take your mininum acceptable target with you.

[MLB]

Based on his recent record he shouldn't be allowed to spend the money available this summer. Therefore he should go. Even if he bought three or four truly top class players you get the feeling we'd still be fighting it out for third place next season.

 

Problem is, who the hell would replace him?

[Mark P]

Going back to the original question...

 

"Now we have got 4th Does Foullier keep his job for another season??"...

 

Alot will depend on how the Thai/Morgan saga is resolved and who, if anyone, has a bid accepted. If the club is, as it is looking likely, planning a big fuck off shake up, Houllier should probs be part of it and be on his way. From 3 trophies, second in the league and real hope for a title challenge to 2 years of dross and a shitload of money tossed away...

 

However, the board's silence is deafening, on all issues.

[Guest Podge]

As had been said before if the managers job at

Liverpool was up for grabs every top manager would be

interested bar a few exceptions. We cant give that

man another £40 million to gamble with.

As I saw this mornin in one of the ragmags over here

HOULLIER IN HIS SIXTH YEAR OF HIS 5 YEAR PLAN.

If he stays that is. Says it all really.

[Original202]

If Morgan comes in I don't think Houllier will keep his job.

 

But otherwise, looks like we're stuck with him.

[Guest Ros]

With or without Morgan, Houllier's position is still vulnerable.

 

Even if Morgan in, unless he has more shares than Moores, he does run the show. Don't believe the rubbish from the media. All the things said by Morgan are to please disgrunted fans. A political speech to gain popularity only.

[Guest Podge]

Yeh, looks like it. Wonder what the target for next year is?

3rd spot. If he stays it will be very interesting to see who he

briings in. It has to be quality that will improve the first 11.

I reckon we need two quality midfielders, centre mid with

stevie & wide right, a quick centre back & then we have Cisse.

 

Kirkland

 

Carragher

Hyypia

Mexes

Risse

 

VDV

Parker

Gerrard

Kewell

 

Owen

Cisse

 

Any takers?

[Barrington Womble]

I dunno if it was wishful thinking - but you know there's been a lot of talk about a backroom shakeup, maybe houllier going to the academy etc, has anyone thought houllier might get the job of running the academy in thailand with the new bid?

 

sorry, that is wishful thinking innit? :wallbutt:
