Dave HendrickHOST
Which is just an incredible level of incompetence.
Dave HendrickHOST
[laughs] Whereas you look at us, Souness, Evans, Houllier, Rafa, unfortunately Roy, Kenny, Rodgers, Klopp, Slot, and now Iraola.
Dave HendrickHOST
We've had 10, plus Ronnie Moran as a caretaker, so we've had 11 all, all in, compared to 29.
Dave HendrickHOST
[laughs]
John RobinsGUEST
Yeah.
John RobinsGUEST
He fell out massively with, with Houllier and, um-
Josh WiddicombeHOST
Yeah
John RobinsGUEST
...
John RobinsGUEST
Phil Thompson, and it, one of the most eviscerating post-leaving interviews where he said if he'd been younger, he'd have punched Gérard Houllier in the face.
Josh WiddicombeHOST
[laughs]
John RobinsGUEST
And he said, "I hope he goes down, and I hope he takes Phil Thompson with him."
Gareth RobertsHOST
Uh, first f- first four games, one win, one draw, two defeats.
Gareth RobertsHOST
Uh, Houllier in his first four in sole charge, two wins, two defeats, six points, same as, same as your man now.
Gareth RobertsHOST
Roy Hodgson.
Mo StewartHOST
[laughs]
ChrisHOST
Well, I know Nicky Butt was talking about when Owen was going to United and he'd never played under Strathcairn, he played for Liverpool.
ChrisHOST
But I presume Gerard Houllier would be his main manager.
ChrisHOST
You would think he'd call boss-
DaveHOST
Yeah
Nick BellHOST
I'm going to go find it elsewhere.
Nick BellHOST
And as we mentioned before, he becomes the first Spanish football manager in English football, taking over after Gerard Houllier had left Liverpool as well.
Nick BellHOST
And as we say, the rest is history for Rafa on that front in English football.
Nick BellHOST
Still lives in Merseyside as well, if I remember rightly.
Julien LaurensGUEST
You know, we are, I think, lucky now to have two in the Premier League, to be honest, with Régis Le Bris and, and Pierre Sage, because for a long time, especially after, you know, after Arsène Wenger, or even during most of Arsène Wenger's years at Arsenal, it was just him.
Julien LaurensGUEST
Uh, then we had a bit of Patrick Vieira and a bit of a few others, Gérard Houllier, and, and all of that.
Julien LaurensGUEST
But still, it was...
Julien LaurensGUEST
It- it's been a problem before.
Dan FudgeHOST
I- is there anybody that's got, like, the final say on that? Because I remember this, this notably didn't go well.
Dan FudgeHOST
The most high-profile case was, uh, Gérard Houllier and, uh, Roy Evans with Liverpool back in the '90s, and then, uh, Houllier ultimately took charge.
Dan FudgeHOST
Did...
Dan FudgeHOST
Uh, uh, have you kind of got that dynamic?
Danny MurphyHOST
And we'd just started talking.
Danny MurphyHOST
Gérard Houllier had said to me, "We need to get you...
Danny MurphyHOST
You're doing great.
Danny MurphyHOST
We need to get you a new contract sorted." But then he got ill.
Josh WiddicombeHOST
Liverpool came back
Michael MardenUNKNOWN
... yeah, but we're, we're at that phase just before they appointed, um, [tsk] what's his face? Houllier.
Michael MardenUNKNOWN
We need someone to come in and do-
Rob BeckettHOST
What?
Michael MardenUNKNOWN
... what Houllier did for Liverpool.
Rob BeckettHOST
That long ago?
Michael MardenUNKNOWN
Yeah, yeah.
Michael MardenUNKNOWN
Because he, he rebuilt the club behind the scenes and the reason for the following successes-
