So who do we want/expect/hope?

I'm not up to date with this thread considering the vast mount of posts but have they talked to Benitez?
Is Martinez getting the job?
How about Van Gaal?

According to Whelan, Martinez has been offered the job but there's more talks to come early next week.

It's looking increasingly likely it's gonna be Martinez.
 
It was localny (i think) who started the thread about not wanting Hodgson back when his appointment was first announced and he was lampooned back then....just saying! But it's prob how he put his message across which angered most, instead of his opinion.

So what you're saying is Local throws a hissy fit when he doesn't get his way managerial wise? If he doesn't want to support us anymore that's fine, that's his choice. I'm not going to knock him for it but I can't fathom how you can switch off allegiance.
 
Martinez huh?

I was excited at first but to be honest, I'm not sure where I stand with regards to Martinez managing us.
Maybe I'm not alone here but Rodgers, Lambert, Villas Boas and Martinez make me nervous.

I'd like a no-nonsense manager to come in during the first day of training and go:
- You, you, you and you go tell your agents to find you a new club because there's no future for you here.
Later on give the DOF a list of players he should get.

That is something I'd like to believe Van Gaal or Mourinho, Guardiola etc would do.
Screw trying to improve some of our mediocre senior players or get them to function in his footballing philosophy. Just scorch the fucking earth and regrow.
 
I hope he gets a fair chance if he gets the job.
Sounds like he wont by reading some of the posts on here.

If he is appointed, I desperatly want him to succeed and humble pie can be dishedoutfrom so many people.

Is it a gamble? Of course it is, massive. But why not try something new? I'm tired of going backwards.

Crikey. Can you actually hear yourself?

I'm sure he didn't mean it as it's been interpreted and just wanted to exaggerate his point. It's not the first time i've seen a comment like that on here. Albeit, it's usually uttered during last years Matchday threads.
 
He wanted Hodgson sacked before he'd led us out. Now he's not going to support us if Martinez is appointed.

When You Walk Through A Storm And All That.


I bet he'll be back on here reminding us of how right he was if it all goes tits up or basking in the glory if it goes right.
 
Anyone surprised that there were quotes from the likes of avb, lvg, rodger, rm, de boer and etc, but seems like there was no quote from Rafa at all?

There isn't any interview from Rafa ever since the post is made vacant.

Because he's not in the running?
 
Should we not get the DOF/GM before the coach? Just a thought like. I thought that's where the footballing direction came from.
Otherwise, its a bit like putting the cheese spread on, then the butter.
 
oncy was actually pretty respectful mainly ryan, but thanks for the sensitivity.

Look I just think as with ROY we can do better. I was behind Rafa and Ged from the start

But these both look like awfully poor appointments..

I've been slagged off for being a fair weather fan and people are saying what about YNWA and we should get behind the manager which is why we are usually a bit better than other supporters, but does it really serve us well? Even when we know this is a flawed appointment.

I've two kids, run my own business, and honestly, I just don't want the continual disappointment. I watch our Club for what it represents, and for the escape. I don't watch it see a bunch of people from newton, ma, and L4 try to learn on the job, what we already know from years of watching.

Look I'm all for an up and comer, a young manager, but give us one that has won something, or has some panache, and is a winner. RM is nothing but a young BigSam, or Steve Bruce. He's not the next wave of brilliant young managers. I'm repeating, I'll stop.
 
Please don't compare RM with Big Sam.
He epitomizes anti-football, IMO.
And he sucks Fergusons balls from time to time.
 
Remember how our public wooing of the likes of Crouch, Downing and Adam were always meant to be smokescreens for our pursuit of bigger stars. Well, there were never any bigger names... just Crouch, Downing and Adam. There's no Klopp or LVG, just... Roberto Martinez.

Thanks for reminding me and for destroying my summer.
 
Status quo after a week and a half. Great.

Come on man. You have spent the best part of the 4 last months to moan about Kenny and how badly he deserves to be sacked... and when he is sacked by john werner you still complain? What did you really expect? Honestly? That these baseball geniouses had lined up Pep and the thrill to work with the famous redsucks owners were the real reason he left Barca??
 
Also a week and a half is not a long time, like. But despite that, and despite the fact we have had zero official news, we have 131 pages of verbose angst. Hey ho.
