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

[Stutheblue]

He's lost pretty much everyone now hasn't he?

Really not his fault tonight though.

In isolation of tonights game and its circumstances probably not. But 3 league wins in 2016? One league win at home since I can't remember when. If it wasn't for the semi final he'd be gone by now surely.

It's all gone a bit toxic.

Personally, I can still forgive if we won a trophy, but I understand if others can't.

Zero chance

Genuine question, what are we waiting for? I can't make sense of it. Only possible reason I can see for keeping him in the job is if we're saying to him that if he wins the cup it buys him another season in the job, which is unacceptable as far as I'm concerned.

You're angry again old blue. Put your full match day kit on and have a lie down

My view is it will be the end of the season, possibly after the semi final if we did not progress but more likely after the season end.

 

[chrissyjack]

Gary Neville is the only obvious choice for me... barring that Afonso Alves

The club could do with a fillip

*and I DON'T mean Fillip Neville

I think us sacking a manager while we are in a semi would be a bit of a PR disaster for the club

 

[ijjysmith]

It didn't feel like there was ever ever a chance he was going before the semi final.

 

[ncblue]

I think we'd have more chance in the semi without him than with him. So for me, I'd sack him now.. as in tonight.

But if it gives us a better chance to win the semi then sod the PR.

Agreed. Think it'd be a boost to the players and the fans. Let big Dunc or Joe take charge for the semi.

 

[Lee Smith]

I really don't want to start actively disliking the guy, and I was genuinely trying my best to see the few positives from tonight's game, but then... He comes out with them cringe fest post match comments. How the hell can someone actually use phrases such as 'more than decent', and 'incredibly positive', to describe that? If they are his genuine thoughts and not him just trying to spin things then it's actually scary, he's bonafide delusional

 

[whiteshadow]

Reached our 40 point target one game ahead of last season, reached the semi final of both cups and in the top 4 for away form.

RM is the gift that keeps on giving.

Imagine if we did sack him then the players came out and said "lets win it for Roberto". You wouldnt bet against it.

You can stop any time you want

as can you old blue

Ta. Bell. End.

Cut it out lads, it's tedious to read, and probably tedious to type too.
