ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

[davek]

Thousands of the RS scruffs checking reference books about this Houllier.

Let's not forget either some hounded him out of Liverpool - bullets in the post. An utter disgrace after what he did for them and losing his health in the process.

Obvioulsy the vast majority of Kopites weren't involved in that, but there's a lot who acted despicably toward a very decent man.

 

[davek]

Leipzig in the last 16, tough one for the RS.

Leipzig would be favourites against them IMO.

Ideally I;d prefer them to get to the QFs and be knocked out in order they open themselves to more injuries. The more games they play the more it'll happen. I can see Liverpool jumping out of the FA Cup early this season too.

I do indeed remember the dogs abuse getting hurled at him by a section of their support.
He most certainly laid the foundation blocks for the few years after he left them. Overlooked by many nowadays.

Sickening treatment of the man.

Football: Police launch investigation after Houllier receives death threat

Merseyside police have launched a criminal investigation after the Liverpool manager Gérard Houllier received an anonymous death threat.

I know every club has its lunatics, but that was particularly sick, especially toward a man who almost paid with his own life to manage them.

Congratulations to liverpool the fans are back and the first team to be booed all game because of a bias ref, first team to receive the cheat cheat cheat shout , is anyone out there who still thinks it's not bent?

I recall that when he explained his affinity with Merseyside due to his time in the city whilst training to be a teacher, he spoke warmly of Everton. I may be mistaken but I don't reckon he took any cheap shots at us as a club when he was in the hot seat. Very different to FSW who followed.

He probably sent Pinocchio out to do it like!

They’re so dangerous in the CL that I’d want them out at the earliest opportunity. Only take some good performance in the CL at home in a key knockout round and they could see diff Bayern over two legs and then be favourites to win it. No thanks. Hope Leipzig put them out.

They won’t though. Looks like all the group winners will progress so the ads except perhaps Chelsea who have a tough game.

 

[BluePeadar]

Houllier was the only Liverpool manager I didn’t hate with every fibre of my being in my lifetime. RIP man.

Was gonna say this. The only one I probably would have had a pint with.

Liverpool with be as short as 1/3 to qualify i'd say - even shorter probably. I'm with you though and id have it 50/50 - but March is along time away

Chelsea going ut will be a good thing.

Disagree about Leipzxig / Liverpool though: Leipzig are better than Liverpool.

Leipzig will be favourite for anyone who knows about football right now.

I have it a toss of a coin, but the obvious variable is it's ages away. If you're arguing they'll be bookie's favourite, your miles off, Liverpool will be very very short to go through
