how much do you want to bet, i'll lay it for you

Meanwhile, Parry announced in the trophy room at Anfield that yesterday was a day for "dignity and respect" as the Frenchman took leave of a club where he took sole charge as manager in November 1998. His voice occasionally catching with emotion, Houllier admitted that he would have liked to continue as manager but had stepped down because of the "sudden excessive pressure on the board and myself".

He added: "I thought it [the pressure] could be harmful for the players in next season's campaign and I also thought that it could jeopardise their performance and achievement. That's why we have agreed to come to this situation. The club comes first. I'm not here for myself, I'm here for the club.
