Gerard Houllier lining up Gary McAllister Aston Villa move

MIDDLESBROUGH manager Gordon Strachan does not want speculation surrounding Gary McAllister distracting his players from tonight’s match against Burnley.

Boro assistant manager McAllister is being linked with a similar role at Aston Villa under Gerard Houllier – who signed McAllister as a player when he was in charge at Liverpool 10 years ago.

Strachan acknowledged there has been interest in McAllister – but was reluctant to say more

He said: “There has been contact with two clubs but what we’ll do is leave it until after the (Burnley) game before we sit down and talk about it.”
