Roberto Martinez discussion

Either he's lifted his info from the article I quoted from earlier, or there's momentum beginning to build in the press

Nothing said it that article is any different to what the vast majority are saying on here. Our 'golden generation' as he calls it are languishing in mid table and as the article states if we get turned over by Chelsea, the pressure is cranked up even more. I really can't see Moshiri putting up with mid table mediocrity from a talented 'golden generation'.
 

I've seen that in a few places now. It's essentially the same article in all them based on an NBCsports "source"

Whether the source is true or not it's certainly a sign that the media are waking up to him.

Yeah think it was the NBC one I posted a from earlier too. I thought this one had a bit more meat on the bones though.

He can just about get away with losing some of the fans, but if he loses the players then his days will be swiftly numbered.
 
Wouldn't have changed a thing...not pressuring crosses and not tracking Payet were our undoing...along with the fact that we are terrible at defending in the air.

Cheese we were doing just fine at all of the above until Lennon went off. That's a fact.

W.Ham were getting crosses in and we were defending them, and Payet was having to drop deeper and deeper.

We were well in control of the situation.
 
No I don't, but do they seem like the type of players who would think that instilling the inexperienced U21 manager as caretaker boss as the first move as a new owner would make them likely to stay on?

If RM does leave in the next few weeks, then as I've mentioned above the only people I would be happy going anywhere near the job would be Royle or Reidy.
It's all about opinions and I was ridiculed in another thread for suggesting royle to the end of the season. However he is already involved at the club (albeit with the academy) but he knows the club inside out, would be popular with the fans. Yes he has been out of the managerial side of things for a while, but I honestly think he could set our team up to defend better than Martinez at present and ultimately make us harder to beat. Everyone refers to the dogs of war tag, but the team that contained kanchelsis, limpar, barmby,speed and Ferguson played some great football.

I don't want or think RM should go before season's end at the earliest mate but if he did, then as I said, would have to be ROyle or Reidy as they have the experience.
 
No point getting sucked into the one substitution at the weekend. Whether it's right or wrong look at the last 20 months as a whole. Not good enough.


You are right, Dom.

It is just that substitution has proven to be a Rubicon which many of us have crossed because of it.
 
Cant we have RM move to front office as a General manager in charge of player personnel and bring in a coach? I find RM has a good eye and knack quality niche individuals for his style; however, he isnt getting all the potential out of that talent. A new coach with a similar philosophy but with more proven results would be my opinion. Someone like Perreria who just went to Fenerbache would have been ideal.
