I was watching the PSG-Milan game tonight and was really impressed with PSG. At the time i thought i'll put a post up called 'chuffed for Ged' but of course Milan then went out and won the game (undeservedly) right at the death thanks to some shoddy PSG defending.
I'm delighted to see Ged happy and successful in football again and hoped that he would get to lift the European Cup once we were knocked out. I always thought he came across as one of the most likeable and honorable men in football. I know that some fans grew to hate Houllier during the last 18 months of his reign. I was certainly one of the many screaming for his head and can recall posting on here that i would almost prefer to finish 5th in the league during his final season if it guaranteed we'd get a new man in to take over in the summer.
I've always been jealous of the fans who got to sit at Anfield on that emotional night against Roma when Ged's return and the love and passion of the Anfield crowd summed up everything that makes Liverpool Football Club and it's fans the greatest in the world.
I wondered if your views of Ged and his spell at the club has mellowed or changed in the 2 years since he has left? i always thought that Houllier's reign would be remembered more fondly by the fans once a bit of time had passed.
