HOULLIER DESERVES TO HAVE THE GOOD TIMES REMEMBERED

I find it amazing that before I replied there had been 70 viewings of this thread without a reply, people feeling guilty maybe.

 

I read recently that when he was sacked Houllier told Parry "You're sacking a man who has achieved all of his objectives". If his objectives were achieved then those setting them have a lot to answer for, have the club accepted second best but sacked Houllier to avoid a fans backlash.

 

On the subject of Benitez, he said recently "Money does not motivate me, I want to be the new Alex Ferguson". Have a word Ric, the new Bob Paisley should be his ambition.

GH does deserve to have the good times remembered. I think it was Dave U who said that had it not been for the illness we would have won the Premiership under his managment. It's a travsety for him that he was robbed of being able to do that.

I backed him right until he left as I will (rightly or wrongly) any Reds manager. I could see that things weren't right and his behaviour was becoming increasingly insane, but I was willing him to crack it. However, when the end came I was relieved for him as much as anyone. He deserves to be remembered for so much more than what he will be, and the longer it went on the less chance there was of that.

 

I remember the last Championship we won.Just. I remember the UEFA Cup, 2league cups and FA cups much more.

 

Good luck to GH and I hope he finds success, but it is a shame he didn't quite do what he would have desperately loved to have done at the club he so clearly cared about and nearly died for.

I think no one replied because we simply wanted to move on.

Ditto DT, that is quite right.

The thing is we're still in the aftermath its only been two weeks. In 5 years, 10 years or X amount of years.....people will say GH won us 6 cups etc etc....maybe a minority will remember his insane comments but for me I will remember him for making history in that perspective.................and maybe just maybe that he just was not quite good enough to get number 19th.

And he was the only LFC manager to do back to back doubles over the Mancs and the Blue Shite.

The trouble was he wasn't doing back to back doubles over the Leicesters and Birminghams of this world..........

Fair enough mate, good point!
