as for dodgy transfers, i can name just as many of houlliers ( Diouf,Diao,Cheyrou,Diomede etc etc)
We may have finished second one season, but from memory we weren't even close to winning the league.
Regardless of all that, the question remains who will replace him?
Yet again his champions league ' safety net ' comes into play
. by the way, in 05, we won the cl with the houllier rejects he was left with, when we played the cl final in 07 with his team, we lost. and ive said it before, and ill say it again, i dont care about the champions league if were not competing for our own league, how can you be the best team in europe if your only the 4th best team in your own league, at least in 99 when united won the cl, they were the best team in england aswell.
