Gerard Houllier says the thought of quitting Anfield has never entered his head and that he’s already looking forward to plotting Liverpool’s title quest next season.
As he gears his side up for today’s must-win clash at Chelsea, the manager insists he learned a lot about himself and his team during the mid-season bad patch and he plans to learn from those experiences in the future.
Houllier said:
“I never had any doubts about myself. I always question myself. Can I put things right? Can I improve things?
“I learned a lot about the way I am viewed at this club during the poor spell and it was good to see the players’ and the board’s reaction to the speculation about my future. I have no plans to stop. I will go on for as long as I can. If there is no more petrol in the tank I will stop. That is not the case at the moment.
“At some stage you have to go through a difficult period. No pain without gain.
“That has fired me up even more for next season. I’ve never felt as good as I am now. I will stay a manager as long as I can – I have no deadlines on that.”
