ON THIS DAY
Monday, 13 September 2010
Villa finally appoint a replacement for Martin O'Neill but he is too busy to take up the post immediately to leave Villa defeated by Pulis-ball once again to make it three defeats in six under caretaker Kevin MacDonald.
Stoke secure a 93rd minute winner to claim their first victory of the season against Villa but the bad news doesn’t stop there as Villa’s new boss search is completed…..
And the winner is…. ~~Kevin MacD~~ … Gérard Houllier.
Quite what possessed Randy Lerner and his non-footballing cohorts is unclear, but chasing and appointing a manager who was too busy to start the job and who had known issues with at least three senior members of the small Villa squad he inherited, suggested at best naivety but more accurately reckless stupidity.
With a straight face the hapless CEO Paul Faulkner had claimed: “Two of the key qualities which we identified as being of crucial importance in our search for the new manager were experience of managing in the Premier League and a strategy for building on the existing strengths in our current squad. Gerard Houllier comfortably satisfies these criteria.”
Of course there was the calculation that some of the Villa support would welcome an ex-manager from a “big club” but for every one who bought in to the appointment there were many more who saw the writing on the wall.
Distant, dismissive and disrespectful. One of the most one-eyed managers seen in the game and a dour demeanour and persona were certainly a departure from Martin O’Neill, in fact the only trait they shared in common was a penchant for player fall-outs.
Were Houllier’s ‘qualities’ what was necessary to rebuild and reinvigorate a squad that had lost its heart and head - James Milner?
In one telling, O’Neill’s petulant, childish and spiteful walk out on the eve of the season left Villa exposed and desperate; the alternate, and more accurate, telling however is that O’Neill had been walking around with a sign reading “Lack of commitment” since Villa’s hammering at Chelsea in April and a better run club would have either managed the issues or planned for the inevitable, preferably both.
Villa however did neither and set in stone a decline unlike anything seen in B6 since the mid 60’s.
Gabriel Agbonlahor contributes his 75th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 188th appearance (174 Starts) to make it W77 D56 L55, 52 Goals, 23 Assists and 15 Bookings at a goal involvement rate of one for every 2.51 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
