So who do we want/expect/hope?

Whelan's comments are missing a little context:

"
Speaking on Friday, Whelan confirmed Martinez's first set of talks with FSG have now come to a conclusion, with further discussions planned next week as the Spanish coach mulls over whether the position at Anfield is right for him.
Whelan told ESPN: "Roberto has had a constructive meeting with Liverpool. He is now back at my home in Barbados. He returns to London on Tuesday, when he will have further talks with Liverpool and when a decision will be made.
"There was no other manager mentioned so I imagine they want Roberto. I don't want to lose him, but I made him a promise when he first joined that, if a big club came in for him, I'd let him go, and I will honour that promise.
"I am still not convinced it is a foregone conclusion, because they put their points on the table, and Roberto put his. He listened to their points, but I think they also listened to his and I think they are coming to terms with the way English football is run. Roberto wants control over football matters and that includes transfers, and if they agree to that, then I can see him becoming the Liverpool manager.
"Roberto works seven days a week, sometimes 12 hours a day. He is not the average manager, but he likes to run the football side, and I can see Liverpool's point of view about the amount of money spent on players. If they agree to let Roberto take responsibility for the transfers than I think he will go there, and I can see that Liverpool have set their sights on him.""

The fact FSG didn't mention any other mentions (and why would they) doesn't mean he will be offerred the job.

Rafa?

If you are Rafa, then I think you might be clutching at straws. Sorry
 
i'm excited about the fact that Martinez might get the job. i like everything about him and i think he'll do very well for us.

what saddens me is that a lot of people have the knives in before he's even started and Will think they're justified after the first bad result. why can you not all just get behind him and give him some support instead of this bullshit?

I won't have the knives out, I just will be off watching reruns of Ireland at the Euros instead of watching the club turn another corner (and then another and the another). It's a quaint idea, getting in a manager that nearly gets relegated every year in the Premier League, to get us into the CL. It might work in the movies, but I don't see it working here. I hope I am wrong, but it's Hodgson all over again. We're Liverpool. We should be bringing in an inspiring name, not a journeyman. 7 years on from Istanbul as well. Good luck
 
Roy has burned a lot of folks fingers, but a 38 year old starting on his career who plays attacking expansive football is a world apart from Roy.
He might fail, but hes a cool cat and i fucking dig him and im more Dumbledore today than ever.
This is a guy I really admire and Im glad we are going down this road.
 
if Martintez is appointed, I can't support this club, and I can't support this manager.

Hodgson Part 2. Another uninspiring appointment. Won't attract players, won't get us in CL.
thats a candidate for the worst post ive seen on here, and i remember glock

You are drunk.
'Journeyman' lol.
 
I also think that a lot of people are being miserable and negative about this because its safer to do in such a community. If you say you are happy you will be murdered for it later IF he fails. If you say he will be shit you can bask in it IF he fails.
Me i dont care what anyone thinks. I think this is the right appointment at the right time.
Forza Martinez.
 
People expect everyone to be happy with this appointment? Sure localny has gone a wee bit overboard - but to see people saying demanding he's supported 100% when we've seen our great player and manager just been slammed by so many posters on this board without mercy is rather odd. People aren't enamored by this manager - he's done nothing Paul Jewell or Steve Bruce couldn't do with Wigan ... He may turn out to be great, he may not. He'll get 100% to start ... and hopefully, not a % less.

Mate, I would love an appointment that causes me to come out and say "YES, I AM INSPIRED". "AND THIS WILL GO WELL", and would happily go down in flames if I was wrong, and people know I generally am optimistic. Look, it would be great to see him do well with us, but I just think it won't attract talent, and with no CL football, we need an attractive manager. Finally, his CV is frankly the land of low expectations. Another few years wasted almost certainly. Forgive the passion, but am tired of watching people learn on the job at our club - managers and executives.
 
I can get behind this appointment. However, I have to admit, if I don't get at least a few Amanda Knoxs (sexy foreign attackers) I'll probably just record a lot of our matches next season because even the best manager can't turn Downing, Adam etc. into entertainers.

No one is demanding anything. "Wee bit overboard"? He said he is done with the club.

You're just disillusioned with their choice. Give him some time and see what he has to offer, all managers deserve at least that.

i agree, apart from adam, he's got the potnetial to be part of a sexy fluid attack if deployed correctly and he stops eating herorin filled deep fried mars bars

OMG LOL!

Your simply not a Liverpool fan.

Terrible post. It's precisely because I am one, that I won't accept mediocrity. When it comes to playing in Europe, he has no experience. Van Gaal, Benitez or any of the others with a proven track record of winning would bring so much credibility whereas Martinez does not.
 
the only thing that martinez has in common with roy is that they come from supposedly lower teams, any other comparison is absurd
 
Well let`s hope this massive risk pays off, with a strong support around him he could do well. It is shame that already people are saying he will fail, give the man a chance...

All I know is that come the start of the season I will be supporting the club, team and manager...We will all need to show our support and not turn into the likes of Villa fans.
 
He might be shit. There are no gaurentees but he should get a chance.
Im happy about it as a direction change, but thats not to say it will be a success. He could flop, but we wont know unless we try.
And by fuck hes gonna rock our touchline in those v-necks and dapper suits next year.
Its all ive ever asked for. Ive claimed for years thats what we need. I hope my lust wasnt in vain.
