He will turn things round and a lot of people will be eating humble pie
Being completely sincere I hope he does, and I would graciously and magnanimously eat humble pie if we were in the top ten come the 24th May.
Martinez earned a lot of leeway with his success last season and that's fair. Nevertheless, focusing merely on the past is nothing but nostalgic.
This season has been nothing short of poor and based on our past five, six or even seven performances we are getting progressively worse.
Add to that, our up coming fixtures offer little encouragement. Then there is the rigidity and his delusional post match assessments.
Add his previous form at Wigan to whole situation, where the same issues arose regarding style of play, and it's not a pleasant read.
I would LOVE Martinez to turn it around, but the evidence is slowly but surely building that he may not be the man to do it.
The simple question is can we afford to give him the time required? It's a game of risk: keep him and maybe stay up, or keep him and get relegated.
The odds of relegation are shortening by the day, so I fear that he may have to go simply to ensure our survival... before it's too late.
If he stays and builds from the experience, it could be the absolute making of him. Equally, if he stays and we go down it will be catastrophic.
Simply, we
SHOULDN'T be in this situation. The fact we are shows things aren't right.
