Okay, let's assume there's three top targets. For argument's sake, assume Moshiri's targets are of the ilk of Pellegrini/ De Boer. Both are said to have admitted they are interested, and for that reason there is no reason why we couldn't bring them in. There are a vast number of managers out there that are an improvement on Martinez. Vast, and even if we couldn't get one of our targets, I would take a small step up as opposed to none at all.
I'd be more than confident to say we could set up and seal a deal to bring one of those in within a few weeks/ a month of releasing Martinez. There's no match other than Norwich, which is a dead rubber. The only spectacle that will involve is more protest against Martinez and a further degradation of the atmosphere within the club. Having a caretaker manager in place for one game will save a lot of face. Not only this, but we WOULD be able to get a manager, not only an improvement on Martinez, but one deemed good enough for our club.
