New manager thread

[Hemingway]

FSG know this hire needs to be right and tend to be the thorough type anyway. They'll talk to many candidates. Let's not act like he has the job just because he's landed an interview.

[Buzzo]

Martinez totally meh. F**king Dave Whelan straight on the phone to SSN.

MEH.

meh.

[danperkins]

Oh dear.

****ing hell.

Nice guy, his teams play decent football and he might be a good manager in the future.

But this is a massive risk. Look at his results ffs. Very underwhelmed.

[McDermotX]

Not exactly sweet on either, but if it was down to Martinez or AVB, I'd go with AVB.
Trouble is, the club won't as cost, budget etc would come into their thinking at such a stage.

Football very rarely works that way, publicly anyway.

[ChesterDave]

Cant say I am thrilled about this.

[BootRoom]

Hopefully this is just FSG going through a thorough process of interviewing several candidates, and then telling the small club managers: "thanks, we'll keep your cv on file in case anything suitable comes up".

[Gibbo]

I won't quote you Chris because it's a he'll of a post

But your bang on, we shouldnt be touching him with a barge pole.

[Fredo]

We're ****ed, I knew it.

[Lecter]

Nice fella, but he shouldn't be coming to us yet.

Agreed but if he does come I'd support him

[danperkins]

If we have looked for talks with Martinez then surely he is FSG's number 1 choice no?

[danperkins]

Agreed but if he does come I'd support him

we all will, just wary is all after The Bodge.

[Gibbo]

Agreed but if he does come I'd support him

Is it because your *top fan*?

Yep, it's hard to imagine us approaching loads of clubs speaking to different people. His name was coming up before Kenny even got sacked aswell.
