We did nothing wrong, insists Houllier

GERARD HOULLIER insists Aston Villa have “done things the right way” and has hit back following Steve Bruce’s attack on the club’s conduct during the signing of Sunderland striker Darren Bent.

Houllier says he bears no grudges over the verbal attack from Bruce but claimed “some people are not telling the truth”.

The former Liverpool boss defended his decision not to make contact with the Black Cats boss when trying to sign Bent, who moved for a club record £18m.
