Martinez new Belgium head coach

[TrixyStevens]

I find the fascination in past managers who achieved nothing for us rather strange

Best post on this thread.

Baines being a snide I assume...

Capt Jags as well

Yes Roydo Moyesy gave him a coaching opportunity and he's been here since

No he's Bobby's lapdog - followed him around from Swansea to Wigan to us and then to Brussels. I look forward to the photo of them both clutching the World Cup with grins like someone who's won the lottery, although with Bobby's ego he will regard it as his just desserts.

He's basically Martinez's right hand man, like Mourinho and Rui Faria and Klopp and Zeljko Buvac. Thierry Henry is assistant coach too.

I don't think we'll ever know what went down under Martinez, and how much of it was on him and how much was on Moyes' boys refusing to turn up. Which is a shame as I like Jags and Baines, but hey.

@davek calls him the Caledonian galoot.

I'm going to like the next 10 @davek posts for that big Dunc name alone.

@davek is peerless when it comes to that; Mo Salah having "a head like an exploded pillow" particularly took my fancy. When he sticks to his knitting, davek's great entertainment.

Only when they fail! And yes I'm that bitter.

He's done well there to make the semi finals

Not going to talk him down over that. Fair play

Hopefully for his sake he sticks with Belgium and stays out of club football

 

[longers]

He's done well, no shame in losing a close match to the eventual winners

Unlucky Bobby

FRAUD

LOL

He’s done ok, fair play to him

Winning the WC is now or never. He got the most talented squad, in their prime.

Another semi final medal on the trophy rack for the fraudshoe.

The Spanish team’s job is gone too.

I don’t expect Belgium beat Brazil so to be fair he did ok in this competition.

Corners don't count do they Bobby?

Unlucky but a plum
