The wonder is why anyone would want to.

provided the manager doesnt ask for a sofa and they buy him a lamp

I know not many of us want either Rodgers or Martinez but do you not think we're all being a bit disrespectful and highly dismissive of both candidates.

I do and it's making us all look a bit petty imo.

Ok, but you can't account for everybody can you? I wasn't advocating revolt, I was simply stating that a fan base does react if they are disgruntled.

Dont mind me ... I flipped a coin for rant or rant .... ohh look at that

I don't think people have been disrespectful or dismissive at all. No one has said Martinez and Rodgers are bad managers, most people on here have just stated they think this type of role might be a bit too early in their careers.

No harm in thinking that IMO.

I must admit that i'm warming to the idea of Rodgers, I'd prefer him over Martinez.

[Buzzo]

Just in case anyone's still clinging to the hope it'll be Rafa

Unlike Dave Whelan, Montse obviously knows how to play the game and keep the Benitez cards close to her chest. Throw us all of the scent.

Surely FSG should speak to Rafa, even if just to rule him out................

Humph. Stupid football

Still good news about the piano exam!

Curious ? why ...

To be honest, I think both of them fall under the category of young talented with premiership experience, some people beleive that Swansea FC and there current style of play have more to do with Martinez than Rodgers ..... * some dont

No, not when there are much better, more qualified managers available and not when we had Kenny Dalglish as our manager just a couple of weeks ago.

I agree. He is younger and overachieved with Swansea. It is a struggle to justify either of them but i think its slightly easier to justify Rodgers. Martinez has done whats required of him by just keeping Wigan in the premierleague but i don't see any real evidence of him taking that club forward.

atm my preference for manager is like this:

LVG>Rodgers>Martinez

(i don't consider Rafa a realistic choice)

The thing I like about Rogers is that he seems very hungry to learn. I like that he went to spend time with the Spain camp to watch them train. I love that he got Swansea (****ing Swansea!!) playing possession based, pressing, passing football. I like that he seems a humble guy. I like that English is his first language (I do think it helps) and that he speaks other languages also.

I can imagine him working really well under a director of football like Van Gaal. He's come full circle for me now. If I had to choose from Rogers or Martinez, I think I'd probably go for Rogers. **** me, can't quite believe what I'm saying!

Good points, i too was impressed by him being invited to watch how spain train, you can't learn from anybody better atm.

Which other languages does he speak? I also reckon it helps to have english as your first language, he speaks it very well for an Ulsterman
