2019/20 Marcel Brands

[Nymzee]

Why we talking about Brown Shoes

 

[Coggy]

The world of football is littered with great players who cant gel into a team and have attitude problems.

Martinez has succeeded in marying his preferred style of football to the talents of the generation of Belgian players he's inherited AND keeping the egos controlled.

Remind me what he's won with the number 1 team in world football.

 

[Gilbert..]

nope he's just wasting away probably the best Belgium team will probably ever produce.

There is only two major competitions he can win every couple of years. Last time i looked they are quite tough to win.

Moshiri, above all, wanted Martinez gone. He wanted to choose his own manager. And what splendid choices he's made.

For as toxic as it got under Martinez I'd have loved to have seen what he'd have done with money the was afforded to the horror axis of Koeman/Walsh.

Number 1 team on rankings?
That really doesnt mean to much when you get your nuts into a tournament with your germanys italys spains argentinas.

Why we talking about Brown Shoes

Because we've lost the plot and the discussion has veered into a fully counterfactual discussion on how successfully (or not) Martinez would have used Moshiri's millions.

At the risk of driving us even further off topic: it's about as productive to ask what Kendall would have done with the funds if given the chance.

He was far from perfect - I wanted him gone too. Bottled many games.

The argument is that we've not been any better off since he left even with the £500m spent.

Yup. It's a disgrace.

His parting gift to us was Oumar Niasse for £13m, what do you think would’ve happened?

Martinez's strike rate was better than Walsh/Brands up to this point.

Considering he bought so many amazing players we were pretty terrible under him weren’t we? I’m not sure what that says about him as a manager.

No it bloody wasnt.

Martinez : Lukaku, Holgate, Barry
Walsh : DCL, Gana, Keane, Pickford
Brands : Gomes, Mina, Rico, Digne, Kean, Gmblommo

Even when he had previously managed players , he still bought trash. Kone , McCarthy and Alcaraz say hi. He was a fraud who picked up a good motivated squad from Moyes and added Lukaku. From there it was all downhill.
