Roberto Martinez discussion

[Prevenger17]

Doesn't mean he's going to resign.

Were people suggesting he resign? Don't mind me like, just doing me warm-ups.

Whatever happened to wiping the slate clean and looking to the future with hope as a new season approaches

In the far future, there is only WAR. Have your feelings towards Martinez softened yet Khal?

I agree completely. But the more... collusive among us are talking about him like he's a dead man walking already. I'm saying give the man a chance, and put the chins up. There's no point walking into the next season under a cloud of fume.

AS I stated earlier not sure about the Clevers signing but it may work out quite well, however if we do signup Gerri on a 3 year loan that for me is a good step. So RM may be on the right track but lets see what others come in and who goes out.

Early bit of business has been decent. Cheap, importantly. Two talented young lads who have found themselves adrift. Definitely need that playmaker and a centre-half, but the early signs are good in this window. I'm not overly enthusiastic about Cleverley, but he's not costing us a limb and I'll give anyone who puts on that jersey a chance.

I haven't been here much since the season ended but boy, it is like last season hasn't ended lol

@Prevenger17 appears to have succeeded in his plot to oust @bizzaro from the Vice-Presidency of the Martinez Fanatics society.

I've heard he shows no mercy.

Nah its not in there.
Jumps straight to McCleish, Alex.

Which is strange cause it also does that in "Gash managers who got relegated."
Moyes aint in that one either.

I don't get how Martinez getting relegated at Wigan is a massive issue. It was Wigan. They were always going to go eventually. It's not like he got relegated with a Villa or a Newcastle. The only reason they were staying up was a solid net spend under the likes of Bruce which then turned to negative net spends shortly after Martinez took over, if I remember correctly. He kept them up for three consecutive seasons which was good going. Winning a cup with them was far more of a positive in terms of managerial achievement than relegation was a negative. Overall he did very well there.

Yeah, neither do I. It's a rugby town. They have no more interest in football than Jimmy Saville had in a mature relationship. The fact that he kept them up for so long was a credit to him.

I have been neutral all along, Prev.....albeit my patience was stretched to breaking point in Black December and I booed with the best of them versus Baggies at home.

But that was then....this is now.

I love the best of what he has brought to the club much more than I hate the worst he has brought.

The lowlights of last season are already parked and forgotten about.

But the memory of Gerald scoring at Arsenal....of Oviedo Baby at OT and Ross's run at the Barcodes will live on in my mind forever.

As will the demolition of United and Arsenal before my very eyes in that first season.

Happy, happy days

So Bob has a clean slate for me right now and he has my 100% support.

As circumstances change so might my opinion.

But for now.......ol' Khal has that mask welded to his boat race

The Prevster takes no prisoners lol

He doesn't tag Davek on every post either which is another feather in his cap, so to speak.

The Prev has certainly been fighting the good fight of late, but do a little vaulting and you'll see he's not as pure of heart as he appears.

However, it does show that we can all change.

Oh I know exactly what he is up to, don't worry about that.

 

[Seamus Colemole]

That's right, he's in the other book "Managers who crashed the English Champions over the cliff in 6 months". It's a pretty slim volume, so Moyes gets a few chapters to himself.

Martinez has never done that so i'm all out of books now

So you think little Wigan should have stayed in the Prem forever and that their relegation wasn't inevitable. Okay then mate.

Hey, i'm just saying what i read in the history books.

 

[Boss_Blue]

No rest, Equalizer. Get the gloves on and have at us.

He says right before he fecks off for a month.

Pfft.
