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

[Ashtonian]

Not a fan of pellegrini struggled at a few clubs and hasn't been boss for a long time.

Dont think he I'd suited to the prem either tbh mate.

perhaps not. Sadly i'm not an expert on getting a new manager, i can only speculate.

I don't actually know what style pellegrini football is tbh, is it attacking or defensive? Seems seeing him at his last two jobs he has had to fit his style around the players at the club.

Anyone mentioned rumours of bust-up between jags and Martinez?

 

[Ashtonian]

And Wayne Bridge came out of retirement to replace Baines

be realistic mate.....

Does anyone believe we can get 50 points and 12 wins. We just might beat Bournemouth Sunderland and Norwich. They are our sort of teams.

Mourinho's name is too close to Moutinho for me to believe any stories linking him with us

But wouldnt it be amazing

Come on Mosh.Nab him

Hello mate, I'm new to the forum, really interesting the discussion. I'm not a fan of Mourinho's after his behaviour on the first day of the season with the Chelsea doctor. His ego is too big so he's not for me but as a manager he is proven. I don't rate Mark Hughes, not sure about Pelligrini either. I just hope they don't go down the Eddie Howe route they need to aim high and show ambition. I think its too late to get rid of RM before SF they should have done it weeks ago. Strangely enough I come from a Man Utd family my brother and his son are season ticket holders and he can't see them beating us he said the Villa game on Saturday they were lucky to win and not lose

Iv just been told. Big bust up. Players siding with Jags. Could be tosh, but would it be a surprise?

That was doing the rounds about a month ago

Not heard anything Ash, though it's been obvious in the last few weeks the players have stopped playing for RM. The last 6/7 games have been different no effort, no energy total lack of pride. They remind me of Chelsea when they stopped playing for Mourinho. None of them look happy. It is defo the beginning of the end for Roberto I will be amazed he stays. Jay.

Does`nt like defenders, Distin now jags, Martinez thinks defenders are pointless and the whole team should
reside on the halfway line and play crab football, side ways passing until the opposition are `mesmerised` by his philosophy
and then old limp wrist niasse walks the ball in the back of the net ... phenomenal

If we lose the next two games and I sincerley hope we do not, the board are going to take some flak as Martinez should of been canned months ago

I believe it would be as well mate haha but i pray for a player revolt every day to speed the whole process up.

i don't believe him to be our manager next season either, and i think he knows it.

My fear is him winning a cup keeps him. What has happened this season has to be too much to ignore though, and if we went out saturday then the noise would just get louder and louder til the club acted.
