Martinez new Belgium head coach

[Gwladysstreetlad]

Yeah, because it's always the case that good players become good managers and players with less of a CV are hopeless.

*sigh*

And sometimes poor players become poor managers..................... like Martinez for example!

Poor managers don't usually win trophies and lead one of the best international squads in world football, or hold a PL club's record number of points in a season.

I understand your frustration that we finished midtable after our record breaking season with Roberto, but that has little to do with his time now at Belgium.

Koeman has won a lot more trophies as a player and manager than Martinez.

Who cares about his player status. It's his management status that matters to us. And he's a bang average tier three euro boss who's won nothing of note...and nothing at all in the past decade.

Lol. The Johan Cruyff Shield isn't major.

He's a failed tier three euro boss. You know it and I know it.

He won 3 Eredivisie titles, 2 with Ajax and 1 with PSV.He won 1 Dutch Cup with Ajax and 1 Cope Del Rey with Valencia.He has also reached the Quarter Finals of the Champions League twice with Ajax and Benfica.Both times he was defeated by the eventual winners.Koemans managerial stats as you say do matter a lot to us.Koemans managerial stats also totally wipe the floor with Martinez and his 1 FA Cup with Wigan the same season they got relegated.

Bobby Gould has win and FA Cup and Roy Hodgson has managed England to the Euros with a prefect qualifying campaign. Both are poor managers as is Roberto Martinez, should he win something while Belgium boss my opinion might change (he wont so it wont).

Bobby Wham Chatter Martinez; a failure in football

So what you mean to tell me is that we should've gone for Roberto Di Matteo or Roy Hodgson instead of Koeman?

And no Dave, Martinez got found out literally the second his second season started, and progressed to being actually worse in his third. We've all told you this but you'll Cleverley (who your idol and hero deemed a phenomenal player) ignore it because you can't argue with that and will instead say something irrelevant about points.

Records were set. When they are surpassed I'll take any Martinez criticism seriously.

Still, there is an ex-managers thread for this.
