Agree. Houllier did a good job of mucking out the stables when the club was drifting into mediocrity but, having given good service in that role, then flunked the task of taking us on to bigger things. He deserves to be remembered with gratitude, but that banner's for top trophy winners.

We'll never know how the heart attack impacted him as a manager, but I think he would have had more success otherwise

As you say, we'll never know now, but I'm afraid I've never bought the idea myself. If anything I'd have expected getting a new lease of life in such a way to have the opposite effect and make a person determined to go for glory. My reading of Houllier is that he was to a large extent a control freak, badly needed to root the Spice Boys out and stop the rot but then not suited to letting the squad spread its wings and fly. His account with LFC is in credit for sure though, IMO of course.

I always thought that banner was for league or cl winners.

Everything else is a rung or 2 below
