I think you're judging him too early.

And I think your judging him based solely on an illusion you have.

Perhaps but the signs are all very bad.

Sure

No chance - martinez's position was absolutely untenable. Had he gone into that Norwich game, there would have been an unprecedented display of anger from the fans.

Moshiri was painfully slow to sack him tbh.

This! Gotta laugh at those praising Moshiri for dismissing Martinez. It was plain for all to see that he'd lost the dressing room and things turned sour way before he was finally sacked.

Moshiri too far too long to take action.

We never bought them tho Ian, whos to say we EVER intended to buy more than 1 of them, with the McCarthy sale "paying" for it?

You're back, welcome mate.

That's one theory, another would be that we did intend to.

Word is Perez was going to be Vardy's replacement at Leicester should he have gone to Arsenal, word is also that Arsenals scouting reports weren't to favourable, but Walsh did like the lad a lot, Hense the Leicester link. We lost out on Perez last weekend, this isn't FIFA and you don't just pick another name out of the hat on a multi million pound transfer Hense the Valencia (stop gap) deal.

Martinez should have been sacked prior to the Semi Final at Wembley, the "new manager bounce" would have seen us easily win that game.

I liked the way you just totally ignored the "failed" bid for Gabbiadiani.

Who would have managed that, Unsworth and Royle? We'd have won a scrappy one.

Failed bid? That's harsh, I thought I was because Napoli couldn't get a replacement in?

Bringing that up aids my argument not yours.

 

[roydo]

Folk keep mentioning "The Mcarthy sale".

Did we have any bids in, or any interest at all?

Im almost certain I was against a change of manager prior to that game, but hey, when youve got an agenda to push, you hope that nobody checks the vaults.

I agree with that and called it at the time.

Think I said let him have it and then sack him once we lost. Dread to think what would have happened had he won it.

Thanks, Farhad.

Yeah, its unfair to expect us to sign the players we wanted in the 3 months prior to the window closing.

Silly me.

Would he? Kenwright sacked Smith, and Martinez quite clearly was going to be sacked. Indeed, when he was sacked, Kenwright was regretful about it but clearly displayed an awareness that it was inevitable.

What would have happened is that Martinez would have been sacked and we wouldn't have signed Williams or something to cover the cost. That's it. He would not have been manager this season regardless.

The Board was split on sacking Martinez, he still had his supporters no matter what had happened in the closing months of the season, and Moshiri had to fight really hard to push ahead with the sacking.
