Hi Ed001,

What are your views on Houillers time as manager? Did you like him as well?

{Ed001's Note - mixed, I liked the trophies he won, but hated having to sit there and watch such boring, negative football. I also hated that the coaching was so bad that every player regressed at the club. Nice enough bloke outside of the game, but not a nice bloke as a manager. Most of all, I can't forgive him for choosing to side with the poison dwarf and sell Fowler. Especially the way it was done, which left a nasty taste in the mouth.}

Yeah Fowler really didn't deserve that. How did Owen have that influence at the club?

{Ed001's Note - because he was Ged's baby. Ged loved him and did everything based around him.}

I take it you were relieved when we decided to not go for him in 05? Did he want the return to Liverpool?

{Ed001's Note - yes and yes, he was begging to return but Rafa didn't want the poisonous little weasel.}

Can I ask exactly what happened between Thommo and Fowler Ed? It's a bit before my time and I have heard varying accounts of what went on.

{Ed001's Note - it was a set up to get Robbie out mate. Fowler was taking practice shots and Thommo said the ball hit him on the nose and they had a big argument about it. Really it was just an excuse for Ged to sell him and not lose too many of the fans, who adored Fowler over everyone.}

fowler being sold was like the Kennedy assassination everyone remembers where they where when the news broke. Gutted I was, horrible day.

To be fair, if he wanted to hit that nose he wouldn't have had much trouble!

Looks to be Fowler having the last laugh though. He's been a great ambassador for he club the past few years popping up all over the place and seems to be happy to be back, meanwhile the little muppet is probably digging through discarded betting tickets at the track.

Difficult, even for Fowler, to avoid hitting that nose.

Houllier manipulated the media, the club and the fans.
Please read Robbies autobiography its deals with this issue brilliantly.
Houlliers signings towards the end were pitiful
Rember these greats
Dioff (spelling)
Diao
Biscan
Cheyroo ( the new zidane Houllier quoted)
La Tallec
Jummy traore
Singa pongolle
I could go on and on.

Houllier shafted Roy Evans,
Let Mcmaamen go on a free . Let Michael Owen run his contract down so so he could leave for a ridiculous low price.
HE was ruthless.
He also wanted to succeed somuch he nearly killed himself.

After see what he did a villa.

Carragher has always said houlier was the best coach he ever played for. If he did not have his heart attack I think we would have won the title in 2002.

I take it you don't approve of Owens role within the club now then huh ed? 😂.

{Ed001's Note - he should be nowhere near the club in any role. Unless they need a target for the balls to hit.}

Ed001 does the fact that Rafa then went to bring God back make his refusal to sign Owen even sweeter for you? It does me! I wonder how Owen felt about that?

{Ed001's Note - damn right it does. Rafa understood that Fowler cared about the club but Owen just cared about money.}

Is Owen a better target than Thommo's beak?

{Ed001's Note - smaller target.}

How did Owen get the roll in the first place Ed?

{Ed001's Note - because he is well known.}
