I'd think he could have his pick of clubs in the bottom half tbh. Villa are morons if they weren't interested in him, to be honest.

absolutely, hes a better manager than probably the majority of the managers in this league, any blue who denies it has got short memories

I think any assurance he'd do a good job with a Premier League club now is out the window, given how poor he has been for, what, seven years now?

He got way too cautious, eager to self preserve his own reputation and outright egotistical in the last half decade he had here, and I think that has been the death of his career. He believed his own hype.

poor 7 years? come on mate, he wasn't that poor for us towards the end as some make out, he was negative but look at the squad we had to work with, looking back at it there wasnt a lot of quality in our squad, 7 years ago we got to an fa cup final and finished 5th. we've had some good seasons since 2008 under moyes, the 12/13 season we played some really good football with quite a limited team. his year with united was obviously poor, but that team had no right winning the league that year as some were expecting, he should've done better than he did but even van gaal struggled the following year. i cant comment too much on his sociedad career because i dont watch a lot of it but hes definately a much better option than the likes of sherwood etc

No he really was. Let's not rewrite history; that was as stagnant as it gets.

I have problems with Martinez's approach at times, but at least the man generally has ambition for his club. For seven years (yes, seven), I saw a manager who didn't give a toss beyond making sure we didn't plummet, so that his reputation as a miracle worker in the first half of his reign here was preserved.

Seven years since he did something of note to improve a side under his management - a lifetime in management. Two proven abject failure spells in charge of clubs since leaving us, with his latest one that should have been a cakewalk. All he had to do was turn a half decent side into top half makeweights, which even I thought he'd be able to do, and he hasn't.

He's not the sure fire thing for anyone barring the very lower dregs of the league. Perhaps Newcastle if he's lucky and they're bottom three and desperate; that's as big as he's getting.

dont worry i completely agree with the martinez thing in that he has a long term goal and a way of playing that he thinks can make us successful, and i like martinez and hes a better manager overall than moyes was and i think he'll take us on, but moyes done a brilliant job for us, i grew up on moyes as our manager and looking back we had some good teams under him bought with very little money, he had us working hard and regularly finishing in good positions, too many blues are very quick to forget that. theres plenty of teams in this league with worse managers than moyes mate.
