Villa boss Houllier will not tolerate any locker room rebels

Aston Villa boss Gerard Houllier won't stand for rebellion inside the dressing room.

Houllier will not tolerate any signs of displeasure from a player.

"If that happens, I bomb him out," Houllier admitted. "You can't prepare a game with somebody who is pulling a face, because it drains the mental energy. There was a time when even players who were playing were moaning, whining and unhappy. It's something I had to overcome, yes.<> "We get results if we are together. From the start of the year we have had five games - won two, drawn two and lost one. The important thing is work and enjoyment. It's about togetherness. If you don't enjoy, leave, go."
