Player Valuation: £150m
Being deemed a failure by people not fit to judge him.It's merely a continuation of his defence of the indefensible. He's trying to alter the narrative by claiming that poor old Roberto is being ousted due to some mythical raising of the bar DURING his tenure.
When the reality is, that the guy has simply failed. Dave doesn't want to face that simple truth.
The new man will be judged based on the level of funding he is provided with and it's got precisely nothing to do with the reason why Martinez is being deemed a failure.
Our best PL era manager on the only reasonable measure of points amassed in one season.
Two cup semi final runs in one season - best since the 80s.
Two midtable finishes.
In three seasons that is enough to keep his job easily. Any ridiculing of that record reflects more on the critic than Martinez. Something we'll see in the fullness of time when some divvy is hired and given a warchest and blows it.
Tick tock.
