Next manager discussion (poll reset 21/05/2016)

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

To be fair the same guys who reported that Koeman was first choice are also reporting the club have met Moyes or are interviewing him.

Echo, Andy Hunter, Dominic King, Paul Joyce

Which means they're showing him nothing more than courtesy if he's chucked his hat in the ring

A bit more menacing than I'd hoped mate

 

[Peter The Dog]

If we find a dead King under a car park in Liverpool, then fine.

Until then, its a no from me.

Fair enough, mate. I understand the aversion towards him.

I just baulk at all these unproven foreign managers who are being bigged-up on here and the bigger names who have failed.

Only one man who can come in and save us again....

Because apparently he asked for Demba Ba from Chelsea and was given Lukaku by Mourinho. Besides Lukaku scored 17 goals in his previous season so it's not like he was a risky signing.

If we hadn't of signed Lukaku and Barry on deadline day and both were last minute jobs we could have easily struggled even in his first season. Those last minute jobs are pure luck. Now you will notice I didn't put McCarthy into that bracket because with him I understand Martinez was just waiting for the sale of Fellaini to go through as is the way with Everton. His signings since then aren't anything to write home about.

Martinez should go to Spain and try and get a job for a mid table team there but that's not our problem any more.

He wouldn't have "asked" for Demba Ba, he'd have put in an offer and had a yes or no. That's assuming he ever made an offer for him. At the time Lukaku was unsettled when he returned to Chelsea but it wasn't until he missed that pen that it even became remotely speculated about that he might leave, and even then only on loan again. It was a surprise to everyone that he signed for us and it was Martinez that persuaded him to sign, he developed a very quick personal relationship with him and we'll profit massively because of it. Everything else is speculation. As I've said before, his other signings were cover, teachers and youth. You can't expect much from covers, teachers like Barry can always turn out good or bad and youth takes time to show its face.

Yes mate I agree. Come back Martinez all is forgiven ffs

 

[Lowste]

Don't get me wrong - as a whole we are being linked with quality names: Koeman, Pellegrini, de Boer...... But after watching two of their games in the past week and doing some research I can't help but be excited about the prospect of Emery. I think he could be a real turning point for the club......

Is it true they didn't win a single away game last season

It was between us and West Brom. I don't think it took much persuasion. He then had a further 5 transfer windows and has left us with two signings we will be lucky to get rid of, one for a lot of money. Hardly stellar work.
