Hhmmmm says a lot unfortunately

If Martinez was a wrestler he would be The Big Show

slow, ponderous and people still don't know why he's still there.

 

[roydo]

How has he earned it?

By masterminding victories over Carlisle and Dagenham

That performance against Chelsea wasn't a Martinez performance. That was the players breaking from his tactics because they want to win the cup.

They're not his players anymore. If they win the cup he gets credit he doesn't deserve

Whilst I kind of agree, and I want him gone. But his first season gave me so much pleasure, as did most of the EL campaign. I hold no rancour towards the man, and if we lift the pot with him at the helm even if the players take charge, I will not hold it against him.

And if it means he lands another job on the back of it, then fine by me.

Ignore that football know all.

Yep. It's the way we do things.

I know many will disagree, but I think he's earned the right to finish up the cup campaign.

Sorry mate but I disagree. Someone else said that the other day also. But IMHO it's utter nonsense of the highest order, we (as things stand) are 90 minutes into a 270 minute cup run. He only deserves 1 thing and that's it's an anagram of CASK.

He should never ever ever ever ever ever have been appointed, he was never going to be good enough.

I wouldn't wish him on anyone

Unless it's Liverpool

I went to Wembley with him in 2012. Me n him did a road trip from Preston, he's a good blue, he's wrong on this though.

If we win the semi final then we should keep him till end of the season but get rid as soon as it's over, cup winners or not.

If we lose the semi final next Saturday just sack him straight away. Let sheedy or unsy take over for the rest of the season whilst we get a new manager sorted.

Bizarre shout. You trust him to take charge for the semi but want him gone the end of the season?

Makes no sense.

 

[Hong Kong Phooey]

That's about right!

Whatever. I dont dislike the bloke.

He has been promoted above his ability. And if he stays till seasons end, I would not fall off my stool if he wins the cup.

But that is unlikely.

He came in & promised champions league. We then has a stab at qualifying but when it got tasty bottled it granted Arsenal were better & potentially would have raised there game to edge us out anyway but still we still shrank when the pressure was on.

Once moshiri came in he said this now gives us a real chance to COMPETE for the champions league. Well you promised champions league without a billionaire now you offer to compete for it with one. Yes im being pedantic.

We have now moved to gaining incredible positive fanastic results against Watford palace & Southampton. He is attempting to backtrack on his promises & lower expectation all managers under pressure on the slide do this.

I would like it to be abundantly clear to our new manager you have 2 years to get us in the champions league & win a cup along the way that's the expectation if you don't you will be replaced full stop.

Exactly.

 

[TheFinnFan]

Bring the new man in.

Bring the FinnFan in. It simply can't get worse.
