Roberto Martinez Discussion - Including Live Poll (Poll Reset 1st May)

[Baines' left foot]

I agree the board should of sacked Martinez a couple of weeks ago and given us time to prepare for the semi
It is an epic fail on behalf of the board, and makes me question Moshiri and his intentions going forward

ROFL

If he wins the FA cup wouldn't you agree he deserves another season?

If my auntie had swingers...


No.

 

[Toast]

If it's Geordie to want better than 12th then I'm a borderline obese mess who assaults horses.

You take your shirt off at the game lad ?
To show how boss a fan you are ?

 

[jal123]

You thought 6th at the start of the season?

How did you see the league table looking?

Definitely not Leicester and West Ham in the top 6, that's for sure.

Lies, damn lies and statistics. 'Statistically we have one of the best teams in our history' yet we are 12th in a surprisingly level premier league. In my humble opinion Martinez' biggest fault has been persisting with over rated, inconsistent players and defending their ineptitude.

PS Daddy wouldn't buy me a pony.

P.S. Daddy bought me a pony, but the RSPCA have it now because I didn't look after it

You don't think the manager has anything do to with this?

He is the one paid to make the players not be inept

Of course, he has the overall responsibility. But the individual errors are not his fault. Certain players are not pulling their weight.

 

[Elong]

No need to call people embarrassing or 'Kopite level' because it's not what you want to do or would agree with.

People have the right to express their opinion, just the same as you. They don't call you embarrassing.

We may not voice discontent as a fan base often, but surely that shows that the majority of people feel strongly about the situation. It's not Kopite. It's not Newcastle.

It's bloody embarrassing to me mate.

But they're entitled to voice their opinions.

 

[blulouie]

With the now vast majority of fans wanting the manager gone , the media , the press , pundits , ex players & even current players tightening the noose.

Got me thinking the club have got to be totally aware of the furore going on. Which then begs the question what are they going to do about it ?

Do they maintain the status quo ? Do they act ? Or try and defuse the situation with the famous "vote of confidence" the silence is deafening.

 

[FisherEFC]

The difference is the kopites and to an extent Newcastle get a lot more media recognition than us, and when they do things it's often over entitlement ie. A few bad weeks or months of results, we on the other hand get no recognition from neither the national or local papers and have had 2 seasons of [Poor language removed] results, I think we are more than entitled to not be happy with all of this.

I think your disconnect from the city means you don't fully grasp the feeling amongst blues at the moment. I'm not having a pop, we aren't kopites we welcome fans from everywhere but I think if you were here you'd have a bigger appreciation for the feeling fans have got towards the clown.

Again not having a go just an observation.

Some might say the distance allows for perspective.

Not going to completely disagree. Sadly my best friend is an ex pat kopite...only having to deal with one of them is more than enough.
