I don't know how many fans here are sick of hearing about Cisse but I bet its a lot. Its becoming almost biblical and the hype is leading to many fans seeing him as some kind of saviour who will turn the clubs fortunes round. Well, hold on was'nt that what Houllier promised to do over five years ago. Were'nt we all sold the Bullsh1t that he was going to be are redeemer. Houllier was going to take us from mediocrity and lead the lost children back to there beloved promised land.
Houllier himself gave forth his vision and he said unto the masses I shall deliver you from your dispair I shall smite down the Manchester Uniteds, and cast long shadows upon the faces of Arsenal players, Your enemies will fall on their knees seeking mercy, as the mighty red machine will once more be invincilble to all in it path. The Philistines with their own hands shall crown you Kings in your own land and I shall accomplish this in 5 years. So where is it?
This Houllier guy is no longer sounding biblical he actual now seems comical almost Monty Python like. Yes he did bring us a modicum of success and to many others clubs standards he would be a success. Yet he from his own mouth promised us the Premiership. Houllier has admitted that he has'nt bought well, But he only admits to two poor buys Diao and Diouf. He tells us now that Cisse will be the key to unlocking the title from the clutches of the football elite in England. Cisse will cost a mere £14 million that's a good price only £3 million less than the prodigal son Duff.
Houllier has sold the ficklebuggers a dream, he has told of the coming saviour who turn the club around. So It must be somone else other than Cisse. Cise is a good player ok but can he carry a team on his own, is he as good as RVN, Raul, Ronaldo, Henry, Owen, Shearer or so many other forwards out there. Cisse will not transform the fortunes of Liverpool actually I don't think even Zidan could do that. One palyer alone would be of no real signifigance unless it was Roy of The Rovers. One man however in the right position could change everything but the position is'nt forward or defense or goalkeeper of midfield its the most important of all, the Manager. There are many who have differing opinions about who that is and we could argue about that all day but I have come to the conclusion that Although I favour Strachan, Martin O'Neill would be as equally affective therefore I want to call on every fan who wants Houllier out to be united in endorsing Martin O'Neill as the fans choice. Lets no longer have debates on who it should be, lets all agree on O'Neill and continually support his appointment.
