Who's next after Benitez - Poll reset 25th Jan

[Papa Shango]

If they were thinking of Martinez then selling Digne days ago makes even less sense - seems like the sort of attacking full back Roberto would have liked.

Nothing makes sense with that idiot in charge.

 

[Farklebart]

Getting my money on Koeman as the next manager in once Martinez is sacked.

????????

 

[GP_Monty]

Anyone take Emery?

He wouldn't take us

 

[Papa Shango]

If we go lower league then Ryan Lowe is the man to take a punt on. He's only just moved to Preston though. Local lad as well.

Massive kopite though.

He has done well in his career so far.

 

[Lee Smith]

Martinez?

Don’t you dare Moshiri. Don’t. You. Fkin. Dare.

 

[Suffolkblue25]

The club would be mad to not give Ferguson at least a game or too.

We saw the impact that having a bit of passion, positivity and an onside crowd can have in his last interim role.

And when we can't even win to Norwich right now, any extra points these next few games under him could give us could be vital come the end of the season.

Why give the role straight away to another fractious manager?

 

[LazarusMoon]

After his 1st season and he went and dismantled the foundations left by Moyes he was exposed for his naive tactics and without Lukaku and a yet to overthink things Barkley he would never of got to a 3rd season....

You can't blame a guy for all the bad things but then refuse to give him credit for any of the good things. Besides, Martinez was the only manager to get anything out of the likes of Barkley.

 

[DanB90]

Can only hope he’s learnt a lot since he left us. And isn’t the same tactically stubborn manager which seen him fail first time.

We wanted Benitez out, whoever the next fella is, comes in with a clean slate, for me.

Ya I would say it's the best option and then review. We need a manager with an identity of playing more aggressive football esp at goodison. Fergus has shown he can do that short term. He got a win and 2 draws v chelsea, arsenal and united. And was unlucky to be beaten by penos v leicester. That's 4 top teams and he got results when we were in the chitebucket.

Good enough for me until the summer.

deffo agree mate

 

[Melchizedek]

GO GET GALTIER YOU BUFFONS

 

[Duncan Donuts]

Potter isn’t leaving Brighton.

Take him out of the poll and Duncan is the clear favourite.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Real Madrid & Ancelotti ?

Yeah but he did win a Champions League with them.

 

[Papa Shango]

He was given a fair crack and apart from his first season where it was largely a Moyes team he didn’t deliver.

I remember in his third season slow turgid football and defending that was worse then the current iteration are managing.

Couple that with crazy post match interviews where he basically BS his way through completely delusional statements with the team getting worse every season he was in charge.

PS players signed like McGeady, Tarashaj, Kone, Alcaraz, Naisse and more so no that Catalan clown was no good.

That bits not really true. Lukaku, Barry and McCarthy were our best players that season, Deulofeu was a good addition too and Stones and Barkley were brought into the first team when they had not played much under Moyes (understandably in Stones' case).

His last 2 seasons were pretty rubbish but there is nothing wrong with giving him some credit for his first season, it really did look like we were going places. Feels decades ago now.

 

[jceverton]

Roberto pissed all over that ginger get as a coach.

That first season = best season of football since the 80s glory days. No question whatsoever.

I'll tell you something else: his last season here finishing midtable and getting to two cup SFs would be seen as a golden age for the club now.

As an attacking coach, sure, as a defensive coach not even close. You need to be able to do both to be a good coach. Martinez isn't a good manager, he's a bang average one who isn't interested in actually addressing his weaknesses. Potter is basically the coach Martinez would be if he could organise a team defensively. Martinez would relegate us with current squad.

 

[Duncan Donuts]

Rooney is invisible in my scenario.
