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

[Legend Barry Horne]

Mourinho in - the fans need to make this happen - chip in £10 each for his sign on bonus

The time to act is now - we are a whole different proposition with the Moshiri money behind us - we need to bring in a proven winner

Act now, to stand a chance of retaining our top players in the summer and giving the new top drawer manager a big transfer budget to give the whole place a lift and welcome the dawn of a new era, seriously challenging the top 4

Which neil?

There's only one neil

 

[neil999]

How many pickled onions has Neil eaten today? Any ideas?

I bet your no taller than 5' 5"

Do you reckon we've actually forgot how to sack a manager?

I wouldn't put it past us. I reckon the only reason he's still in charge is because our admin staff can't be arsed figuring out the paperwork.

He won't be sacked.

He'll 'leave by mutual consent' a week after the season ends.

Get Ferguson in, he can't do any worse like...

Or Royle.

Or Unsworth.

Honestly, a few more.

James May. Now, hear me out. He's the big Father Bear of the group and is used to managing the shenanigans of Clarkson and Hammond. Good management skills. Plus he seems reserved to me, defensive by nature, so he'd shore up the back.

Or.

Oz Beg Khan. Boss thing about him is he's a natural leader, being the longest-reigning Khan of the Golden Tribe. He had firm discipline, prepared to weedle out underperformers (via execution if need be), and he's not one who is allergic to change if he feels it makes sense for the system he's in, hence his conversion to Islam.

Or better yet.

The boss thing about Donkey Kong is that he knows that when you're under the cosh, you've got to get back to basics and throw barrels at the opposition to survive. Not go bananas as such, but just a diddy bit of power up front combined with a strong foundation, using the talent you have.


Loads of options.

 

[Professor Toffee]

Last few games, we have played 3 out of 4 potential teams we must beat to win the FA cup..

And beaten NONE of them..

He's got to go NOW to give the whole place a lift..

I agree, let Joe Royle win the cup for us again and get the dogs growling

 

[Bungle]

I bet your no taller than 5' 5"

6ft 4" neil and I will absolutely brutalise you

thinkin of doing another joke in a bit to cheer everyone up

 

[ianefc]

He won't be sacked.

He'll 'leave by mutual consent' a week after the season ends.

So 2 weeks today?

 

[mmmmsnouts]

Getting close to Martinez only having the support of 1 in 4 voters. Probably lower in reality since this includes votes that are weeks or months old.

 

[tommye]

I'm almost scared too ask - but i've been on holiday for a week so I'll plead stupidity

Where has Davek gone? I didn't really agree with him but found him to be an articulate, interesting poster?

Both he, and Chico, have stopped posting.

Sad times afoot.

 

[hktoffee]

Bit like you trying to accuse me of racism chief?

You seem to just mention it's the pro Martinez posters who are the antagonists, so not one person in the Out camp acts foolishly?

Really?

Then kindly elaborate what is "mewling quims" which you accused me of.

#57 and #66

And you call me a hidden kopite.

 

[tommye]

So 2 weeks today?

The season.

Not ours.

 

[mmmmsnouts]

He won't be sacked.

He'll 'leave by mutual consent' a week after the season ends.

"Leaving by mutual consent" is really a gentleman's sacking.
