Who's next after Benitez - Poll reset 25th Jan

[Kev The Rat]

The Belgian FA are irrelevant in this, and people underestimate the pull of this job. There’s only 20 PL jobs going at any one time, and ones with a billionaire owner are even rarer. We’ve already seen what Benitez would do to get back into the game. Martinez will be selling family members to try and get this job. We’ll pay him massively more, but regardless of that it’s the ultimate pamper for his ego to try and right the wrongs of last time.

Make no mistake, if we’ve made the call and we want him then I doubt anything is going to prevent him joining.

I would agree with all of that

We are at the mercy of Bill and Moshiri as usual.

 

[jamieni]

I sincerely hope not.

 

[tom_b1807]

Except there is no sometimes maybe good

 

[charlie atkins]

Our last 15 honours were all won by ex players who became managers, that must tell us something

 

[Kev The Rat]

Lets hope they havent.

Who do you want then

Realistic options only please (i.e. no one in a job)

…..out to 5-1 indicates it’s not. Martinez the new favourite;

Hjulmand now into 40/1, had a fiver just in case.

Kovac being out of work and 33/1 is probably worth a small punt too.

 

[Saint Domingo]

I would agree with all of that

We are at the mercy of Bill and Moshiri as usual.

It’s a drug for these blokes. I never thought I’d see the day where Mourinho would be managing United or Spurs, Benitez managing Everton, Martinez open to going back to a club that fired him.

Managers at this level are all ego maniacs. They want to be in the PL circus. Managing teams every week, being on tv, being in control. They’ll take a job almost anywhere to get back in on the action.

...he couldn't even do the interviews in English when he joined.

Neither can Ferguson...I'll get me coat

 

[Curtis]

Villas-boas is currently free right now....lol but I'd still take him over Roberto or wayne

 

[Nymzee]

If we hire a manager with no Premier League experience you may as well just relegate us now

PL experience is extremely overrated. As we’ve seen with all our past managers and most of our players.

 

[navidson]

Why would you go back to a club that sacked you?

He'll make himself look even more of a tit than we already think he is if he accepts it

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Myers reckons Martinez is 'unlikely' ahead of the World Cup in November.

 

[Kirkles]

Lets hope they havent.

Well they have heard of Martinez (who is in a job) would you rather have him?

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

Get Roberto in and let's see some football again.

It’s like Christmas Day all over again for you.

Please not Martinez for hells sake
