There cannot be any dispute that under the circumstances, Gerard Houllier is the right selection.
There are those that are afeared that Houllier's health and age are against him, but we can always point to the example of Bobby Robson, who did so well at Newcastle.
As for Houllier being out of the Prem for a few years ... true; but he has nevertheless been active at a senior level and his focus must be so acute that it would take him little time to re-adjust to today's conditions in the Premier League.
His major problem over the next few months is to ensure that the midfield is tightened up - will he be able to play all of Downing, Ireland and Petrov? I doubt it.
Here's every good wish to Mr. Houllier ... I wish I could refer to an upcoming 'Houllier's Holiday', but it's not going to be an easy ride. I doubt that he will be able to make everyone his friends.
