So Houllier is still in a Job! Painfull! Ive heard a lot of people, and a lot of radio 'phone-ins' say.."well next year(2004/2005) is a big year for Houllier and Lfc" cause we scraped the champions league 4th spot.What on earth are they talking about! This year was THE "crunch" year for sure, as we finished 5th last year, had that auwful run of 16 games without a win, and only bought harry kewell last summer, when we need 4/5 top class players.This guy should be given the sack right now! We are 30, yes THIRTY points away from Arsenal, and a good 20+ from Man Utd and Chelsea. Steve morgan was right, we are nearer the bottom than the top, and no way do we deserve to be playing champions league footy.
If we dont get the players we need, then the 2004/2005 league/ champions league campaign will be a very short affair.
(Arsenal will not lose many games next year, wheras Chelsea and Utd will buy big in the summer for sure!)
You need to be ruthless to be successful, and nothing Houllier has ever done has suggested that he has what it takes!
What are his credentials....French national coach?
if so why didnt we see, David Trezeguet, Zinedine Zidane, Viera, Wiltord, Henry, Pires, Deschamps, and other top french players come to anfield then? who did we get?..............Cheyrou!
Heskey leaving is a massive weight off my shoulders, now has to follow, murphy, biscan, smicer, diou, cheyrou, diouf, and kewell (useless since october 03).
WHo to replace Houllier?

Fabio capello, Dalgish, Toshack, O'neil, Valencia coach, Keagan, Allardyce, Aldridge, Ranieri (P45 imminent!)........TAKE YER PICK!
