New manager thread

Wrong thread, the Suicide thread is in the Library

Youre right on that

Lets look at the facts

Martinez inherited a team that finished 11th and has managed to finish lower than that every season since.

What players did he lose though when he took over? Antonio Valencia?

And it is far easier to win playing good ball than quality football when near the bottom.

This guy's got form...

Good luck to Jen Chang as the new director of communications at Liverpool. Jen is an old colleague from ESPN, and a big Liverpool fan.

No amount of excuses and reasoning would persuade me that this is an upgrade on Kenny

If hes appointed I'll get behind him but it doesnt mean I agree with the appointment

Maybe Jen Chang has been advising them

He seems to know every player and manager through-out the world

Besides that, he's been there 3 seasons now and they're worse than they were, so rather than just looking at who left, what about who Martinez has brought to take them to hovering above relegation each season since he arrived. Clearly not a good enough candidate.

Martinez: 26 win percentage.

Enough said.

but Whelan hasn't keep up the spending that got them to 11th.

Neither did G&H for Rafa but that seemingly didn't matter...

I'm suspicious of uncontracted people who support other clubs giving advice

Forgive me, maybe we should go down the East Lancs and ask Fergie who we should appoint

So your solution is to formally employ people that support other clubs on the presumption that this arrangement will transform them from Machiavellian conspirators out to damage the club, into shrewd and capable emissaries that only have our best intentions at heart?

Liverpool approach Martinez, Villas-Boas and… Rafa Benitez http://dlvr.it/1Zn2Dq #LFC

[Reece]

Intermediaries acting on behalf of Liverpool for Fenway Sports Group have made approaches to Roberto Martinez, Andre Villas-Boas and former Reds boss Rafa Benitez, according to reports. All three could potentially be interviewed next week.

Fenway Sports Group are keen to make a quick appointment, of a manager who will be given time and money to play with and are to fly over their top candidates for talks in Boston early next week.

Today it was reported that Villas-Boas, the Portuguese former Chelsea boss, has been approached and Wigan chairman Dave Whelan confirmed that he has given Liverpool permission to speak to Martinez.

Developments this evening suggest that ex-Reds manager Benitez is also on that list of managers approached. Benitez was sacked by the club’s former owners in 2010, with many feeling the Spaniard wasn’t given the chance to finish the job he started.

Benitez is currently out of work and living on the Wirral.

Swansea’s Brendan Rodgers is also being considered for the role.

Martinez is the current favourite for the role.
