Why would you need to tell a newspaper that it was your team who won in Istanbul? The same squad who finished with 60 points 12 months earlier? Good luck at Villa Gerard I think you'll need it......
Wrong Houllier wasn't sacked, in fact Liverpool FC have never sacked a manager.
Houllier (and Benitez) left of mutual consent.
Houllier and Benitez might not have actually been sacked but parting by mutual consent amounts to being pushed before they walked.
Also Liverpool have sacked a manger in their history just one though - Don Welsh.
