Roberto Martinez Discussion - Including Live Poll (Poll Reset 1st May)

[Zatara]

To be honest, we dont know whats been said behind the scenes, Martinez was given an awful lot of money to spend recently, maybe Bill wanted something in return.

Has he really been given a lot of money though?

More than any other Manager before him, by far.

 

[lancs blue]

Valencia will be needing a new coach soon. I can see an ideal Spanish speaking candidate.

 

[Abertonian]

If he went there I wonder how the Valencia fans would feel. It'd be some change going from Neville who is quite dour and seems fairly honest (sometimes to a fault) in his pressers to a man who presumably believes his lucky charms cereal has magical powers and keeps a unicorn in his back garden.

Did he want tangible points, wins etc, or what we all want....intangible progress ?

There's also a button on the forum called "ignore" if @davek is deep inside your mind and you can't stand it any further mate.

Exactly. I may not often agree with davek but we all have the right to our own opinions. Besides, I'd miss his lemon cat!

Serious question Dave.
What's changed on the highlighted bit since yesterday morning when you said in the New Shareholder thread when you were complaining about the lack of information from Moshiri



I mean, when you typed the above about there being no word yet on competing in the transfer market it had already been reported in the press that that was on the cards, but today, you're taking it as gospel.

Apologies in advance if we've had some sort of official announcement on our transfer budget but, on the face of it, you seem to have had a Damascus moment with regards to Moshiri in not much more than 24 hours ?

There's no contradiction in all that. Martinez being consulted on summer spending in his meetings with Moshiri isn't the same as addressing fans regarding that matter is it? As stated, we shouldn't expect anything in detail, but the general direction we can expect to be heading in under his stewardship would be appropriate.

Despite you suggesting that I'm stupid yesterday, I can assure you I'm not.

 

[davek]

Martinez is two games away from the chop. Lose to Chelsea and Arsenal, and it'll be adios IMO.

Yes, I agree. In your opinion.

 

[daz4matty]

Yes, I agree. In your opinion.

Its over my friend the battle is lost for you.
You have fought well but your idol has let you down with his clueless managing and weakness.
I was even shocked last night when you said you would be happy with a mid table finish,that was when i knew it was over.
The plotters await your conversion

So more than LVG and Man Utd who are currently sitting in 6th position?

Or just enough to partially rebuild the squad?

I want points and wins tbf

It's a shame that confidentiality agreement doesn't allow you to share these regular updates you get from the club. It would be great to have the inside knowledge you do.

Will you be responsible for the final version of Moshiris address to the fans or just the drafts?

Did you submit any conditions for the summer spending or do you trust Mosh to handle it without you?

 

[The Esk]

Lads can you stop on all sides having a go at each other. State your case re Martinez but not against other posters. Very tiresome to read.

 

[bullensboy]

Was anyone else more upset with the Lukaku substitution on Saturday than the Lennon one?

I could forgive the Lennon one as he may have been tired. We needed some sorted of outlet playing with 10 men though, so when Lukaku went off I thought who would hold the ball up ?

Madness. I'm a Martinez out-er after that
