John Stones transfer saga

There's only 20 premier league jobs, Martinez and Moyes have got one of the 7 top ones. Why would they just quit over transfer dealings out of principle? How many people on here would quit their job on principle? The board sold Arteta and didn't give any of it to Moyes. Did he say anything? No. Did he say anything when we went 2 years without a permanent fee being spent on a first team player as Strac and Drenthe were loaned into replace Arteta, Yakubu, Saha, Beckford and Pienaar? No. They know they have the safest job in the league as long as they don't rock the boat.

Moyes might well have been prepared to be a patsy, but Martinez, too?
 
just seen at start of it all that Martinez expresses pretty clearly that he is fed up with the press attitude. Convinced that is what this attitude is. How would any of us feel if we had to prepare a player to face the best striker in the league and instead had to concentrate on another load of media fluff

First transfer window: sold Anichebe 6 mill, Jelavic 7 mill, Fellaini 27.5 mill. That's 40 mill in the till. He then bought in McCarthy 13 mill, Kone 6 mill, Robles 3 mill, Alcaraz free, Lukaku, Barry and Deulofeu on loan. I know there's money tied up in the loan deals and wages but in pure numbers that is 40 mill in and only half of that spent. He's also not been backed in either January window apart from loan deals. So yes I think Martinez would put up with the board's behaviour.
