New manager thread

Martinez must know what Whelan is like and that whatever he says is going directly to the media. I'm not sure exactly what this means but for one reason or another Martinez wanted that leaked.

[BrooklynRed]

and now, I get to hear his name pronounced MARTIN-ez for years to come instead of mar-TEE-nez, and it will drive me utterly bat****.

[Vermilion]

Well, if he's said that to fsg about control, they have no real reason not to talk to Rafa now.

But they wont, will they!?

[Tee]

We should just call him Martin.

As for Martinez......

I've already done a long post on him and I've also done a post on why he probably shouldn't be considered. If Rafa goes to Villa I think the craziness of it all would really hit home.

I think RM will have to start very brightly to get the fans on board. The same was said of Hodgson, but the battling draw with Arsenal aside, it was a poor start.

He'll be helped in that he employs a good brand of football. That will buy him a little time.

But if we start badly, Villa get of to a flyer under Rafa, and in the 6th game or so Rafa brings Villa to Anfield and outclasses us....,. Well I'd fear for him as I could get guess what the fans reaction would be like.

Personally I'd go with Rafa, but understand the owners not going for him due to past relations. But if they aren't going with Rafa, I'd have hoped for a man of similar ilk, of what RM is not.

I reckon if Martinez bombs, FSG will look to sell.

Yep, can see next April, the chant roaring from the Kop "Liverpool Football Club... Is In The Wrong Hands"

I agree with every word of this

**** a duck.

just appoint rafa and be done with all this bollocks.

[Shanks]

Feel like we've gone back a couple years...

G&H took us back a few years, FSG are trying to bring us back..

People need to start facing up to reality and realise where we are as a club right now..

Hope! Sweet, sweet hope.



What a ****ing rollercoaster. Every time one rumour comes out a counter rumour instantly follows it.

Twitter Rumours FTW

The only people taking us there is our current owners. We have a world class manager practically begging to get the job that they refuse to consider.

Haha! I suspect he's our man but that interview was probably slight exaggerated as usual by Whelan.

[Muddled]

I think people may be getting confused between posters voicing concerns, therefore meaning they won't get behind the manager. I was hugely behind Kenny regardless of his stature and posted many times about stability and a long term vision. *If* it is Martinez, I'll swallow my concerns and look at it objectively.
