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

[TheFinnFan]

Still think we can do it if our defense turns up.

ive totally lost confidence. players arent innit anymore. we need a change fast although it pains me to say it.

If we carry on not winning up to the semi and then lose the semi the club will get blasted.
If we get rid and then still lose the semi the club will get blasted.

The club can't win either way so might as well do nothing like they usually do.

That's where some level headedness is needed. I want him out but not before the semi.

His record in the league is awful. What's his cup record like?

Even if he wins I'd still want him to leave because next year is going to be even more competitive than this year and we are struggling badly now!

agree with that mate, how anyone (hypothetically) can turn their nose up at an FA cup (which also gives an EL berth) when we haven't won anything since 95 is surprising. not saying he should stay for life mind but if anything should buy someone time... it's ending a massive trophy drought

Bang on mate.

Not everyone will agree but him giving us a much needed overdue trophy should warrant a last shot.

If we don't win the cup which is most likely tbf he should definitely go.

Judging by whats been said here already I can't see him leaving until the end of the season at the earliest

They need to sit down and weigh up whether keeping him gives us our best chance. If not then get rid.

not sure why anyones believing the "resignation" story, doesn't make sense from literally any of the involved parties points of view. First of all Martinez would never resign. Secondly if what the Esk is saying is true about the board reaching out to possible replacements then accepting his resignation would save them a bunch of cash. Thirdly (which goes back to point 1) by turning down his "resignation" that would indicate the board want him to stay which would strengthen Martinez resolve as he would feel he has the support of superiors.

I think he'll get the rest of the season to win the cup and try to finish as high in the table as possible. If he's not achieved what Moshiri deems acceptable he'll be gone, if he does he'll stay. It's that simple.

Agreed. I can't wrap my head around the offer of a resignation. It doesn't fit his character - and aside from that, he'd be mad to give up on the Cup pre-semi.

Will a bad show at palace exercise the mind ?

I agree. However I think there's a possibility he could go if lose the semi (especially if our dreadful form continues)

Probably not as anyone else would have been long gone by now at other clubs.

 

[Conspiracy-theorist]

Controversial I know but our trophy drought is embarrassing

Not as embarrassing as our football for the last two seasons, our inability to defend or the clueless way the muppet Martinez has demotivated the players and removed their belief and desire...

It's also not as embarrassing as Bobbies lame ass excuses about being unlucky and 'In a parallel universe we'd be winning everything' crap..... delusional

 

[Toffeeslam]

There is that possibility but unless the team put's in a real stinker and we get hammered I can't see it

 

[matty1878]

Controversial I know but our trophy drought is embarrassing, if he wins it he should at least be given one last shot.

If I said a mid table finish and a trophy at the start of the season would you have accepted it?

No - ( the trophy Yearh ) but mid table with these players alone is a farce mate

 

[matty1878]

I think the stinker will be at anfield nxt week it's just how many they score

 

[FisherEFC]

How some people want the bloke to stay if he wins the cup astounds me. Do you seriously want more of this crap next season? A cup win isn't going to change the awful tactics, lack of a plan B, poor game management and shoddy defensive organisation/drilling from the manager. And if anything it'll be worse next season with Rom and his 20 goals gone/ lack of the whipping boys Villa and Newcastle gifting us 6 points each.

I honestly want the bloke gone regardless as next season at best it'll be 12th at worst relegation.
