[LNB]And even though his assistant Gary McAllister painted a glowing picture of his boss's health, others are unsure whether a return to the hot-seat would be wise. [LNB]McAllister said: 'Gerard has just come through a scan and the doctors are really pleased. As for his future, he will be advised by the specialists. [LNB]'But, knowing Gerard's love for the game, he will want to come back.' [LNB]However, Duncan Dymond, a cardiologist who has been consulted by Chelsea in the past, told talkSPORT Houllier's condition - a dissection of the aorta - was 'very dangerous'. [LNB]He said: 'My assessment is that Mr Houllier has had one brush with the grim reaper already and now he's had another serious warning. [LNB]'When you have had a dissection once, you are more likely to get it again. Instead of putting himself through all the stresses and strains of being a football manager, he should call it a day.'[LNB] [LNB] Watching brief: Gary McAllister (left) will take charge of first-team affairs until the end of the season [LNB]  Walk away, Gerard: Medic warns Houllier to quit after latest heart scareDoctors query Houllier's Villa return: heart condition 'difficult to treat' McAllister happy to play back up at Aston Villa as Houllier returns to healthAll the latest Aston Villa news, features and opinion Explore more:People: Gerard Houllier, Gary McAllister Places: France
