Who would you like to see replace him? Realistic choices only! I like Eddie Howe, but feel he might have the same stubbornness that Roberto is demonstrating. i am not that clued up on foreign managers, so of those who we could possibly attract in the prem, i would like Mark Hughes. not, i suspect a popular choice, but I feel he has shown that with the right quality of player, he is capable of putting out a very effective team, with a very effective strategy. Other than him, I dont know? i Laudrup doing anything at the moment?

I don't see any of those as being sufficiently better than Martinez to justify a change. If he goes, then we'll have new, hopefully ambitious owners with, hopefully deeper pockets than the current board, who should be able to attract a proven successful manager

Just gone through FOURFOURTWO magazines top 50 coaches/managers in world football, obviously Martinez isn't there, but their are some names that seem to be highly rated at lesser clubs than ours in lesser leagues than ours, their MUST be options.

It's at best only a minor debating point as our current board don't have the ambition it would need to get rid, they're probably licking their lips at the thought of the cash they're gonna receive when even our fans accept that our stars are within their rights to leave after another below expectation season.
 

If Martinez was to go and we were looking to replace (hopefully with new owners), I would pull out all the stops to bring in Mancini.

One thing I will say, if Neil Lennon was our manager I'm pretty certain we'd finally win a derby

You need only to look at Scott Brown's eyes on Old Firm Day during Lennon's tenure to see why

I just do not think Lennon is good enough for us.

I think this thread underlines conclusively why Roberto has a job for life here. And quite rightly so.

Short of a really really top, great manager if we become very rich very quickly, I can't see the benefit of replacing him with just another PL manager at this juncture.

It would disrupt the squad and potentially (probably perhaps) still be 6th - 11th. Martinez isn't going to be out saviour but he will keep us ticking over until (please God) this buyout happens, whoever it may be.

Replace him with a Mourinho or Pep, not Hughes or Pulis. That's not a dig at them btw.
 

This Watford manager has had a great first 5 months . But would anyone seriously take him based on that ?

See aidy boothroyd, Owen coyle , Phil brown etc .

I'm not saying he will be anything like those jokers but he is an unknown quantity over here

Let's just agree to disagree about RM and crack on.

Well works both ways doesn't it

Personally I'd prefer
Ancellotti
Guardiola
Mourinho
Tuchel

Nil Satis and all that ;)

Bloody hell Alan Pardew would get more out of these players
