Looks like Liverpool have got their new Manager

Nathan L

Come on Rafa

I personally like the style of play he has, very stiffiling for the opposing team.

Hopefully he can make a difference next season. Farewell Houllier you will be missed.

Redkop

Not by me, he won't!

bcfc4life4

or me

Nathan L

Or me.

Hopefully now we can have a clear out of all the dead wood brought into the club by he who shall not be mentioned and get ourselves back into contention.

I agree that about the dead wood, but we cannot forget what he did for the club i.e. UEFA Cup, FA Cup, Charity Shield, Super Cup, Worthington Cup.

We should be grateful for what he has attained for the club and should respectfully say goodbye to the guy. And accept that he is NOW no longer fit for the club.

But that aside COME ON YOU REDS!!!!

Well I'll certainly miss him - although not as much as the Uniched fans

I think everyone does. He bought some very ‘bizarre’ players to say the least and they should be on their way out, poste haste. Also the ones, hopefully, who only managed to get in the team, as they were GH’s favourites ie Danny Murphy. Biscan. Took long enough for Heskey to be sent on his way!

One season of success and a season that won’t be forgotten [it cost me a small fortune]. Liverpool had the experience of players like, Gary Mac, Jari Litmanen then. Although not regular first team names on the sheet, they at least they offered a Plan B, when Plan A was failing and much is owed to Gary Mac, for helping LFC to win those cups. Plus, the back four wasn’t constantly chopped and changed and was the best in the Premiership at that time.

PMSL You’re having a laugh aren’t you? Just what did he attain for the Club? 2000-2001 we only finished 4th in the league, 2001-2002 was the best finish under GH, where we were 2nd, but still light years away from Man U and the rest of Europe, as our dismal performance in CL showed. Other than winning the League Cup [Mickey Mouse Cup] in 2002-3, that season we finished 5th!. No comment about this season, where we scrabbled for 4th place and a whopping 30 points behind Arsenal. We have gradually fallen further and further behind the top three teams and rebuilding, even with a new Manager will take time.

He got rid of players he didn’t like, regardless of their footballing abilities, Robbie Fowler, Jari Litmanen, loaned out Markus Babbel – just because they dared to question him, players who wore the red shirt with pride. He bought in some absolute rubbish, which wouldn’t even get into the likes of Man U’s reserve team.

So you reckon we should be grateful – huh? Respectfully say goodbye? LMAO

His six year reign has managed to demote us to a huge rebuilding programme and on limited funds! Though Houllier may be a sound footballing tactician, his singular failure to inspire his own signings/players to similar levels at Liverpool count for sweet FA.
Have done and thank God

Nathan L

I couldn't agree more.

Except I like Danny Murphy and we need to keep him for when we play the Mancs

redkop1

Houillers reign and the fact players lost faith in him as a manager came with his bizzare substituation away to leverkusen, when we where cruising through to a CL semi against the mancs, he took hamman off for smicer........smicer who has never done anything in a red shirt but is a houiller favourite, cue leverkusen scoring 2 goals in 5 mins......after that game players did question him, cue babbel bombed out, he took liverpool to 2nd and the team needed a slight tweak, he went and bought diouf, diao, cheyrou, possible the 3 worst signings ever in liverpools history......also the way he defended the team after every defeat when he should have occassionly bollocked them so the fans knew he wasnt happy

again another substition saw him lose the support of the kop, man city at home, 5 mins to go, we are winning 2-1 and city are down to 10 men and were sitting so far back dudek has a seat in the anny road, the kop row attack attack attack, he brings biscan on for an attacker.......i have never heard the kop boo so much, he then question the supporters for booing him, ffs we were playing city.........anyhow he has gone now, i wont forget the treble season but i also wont forget some of the football i have had to watch the last 2 season..........the king is dead, long live the king

Redkop

Hi Chris [redkop1] How many times have we discussed this during Houllier's reign? His bizarre choice of players and tactics, also the failure to have a Plan B in place.

In a way, I am glad I wasn't at the matches to witness last season's abysmal form, even though, I missed Anfield dreadfully . I chose the right season for a sabbatical though, didn't I?

redkop1

how many times, far too many and yes you were the lucky one not to be here this season, no choice for me living so close, anyhow i expect to see u in the oakie from august onwards, plenty too look forward too this season

Redkop

Don't worry, I shall be there

redkop1

Redkop

Nathan L

I wish I still lived closer to Anfield

redkop1
