Villa back under-fire Houllier

07 April 2011 10:30
Aston Villa chief executive Paul Faulkner has backed manager Gerard Houllier to keep the club in the Premier League. The experienced French coach has been targeted by the Villa fans after failing to impress since taking over at the club early in the season following the departure of Martin O`Neill. Villa go into this weekend`s fixtures just two points above the relegation zone, but Faulkner insists Houllier is still the man for the job. "Yes, total support," he told AVTV about his position with the former Liverpool boss. "We are focused on these last seven games, getting the points we need right now to get out of the situation we are in."
