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

[Toast]

Delusional mate

its like the captain of the Titanic who refused to believe his ship was sinking...until it was too late

He knew it was sinking mate.

The dithering about for vital moments is what created the catastrophe.

Sounds remarkably like our season.

 

[RFUS]

My Shortlist:
Nigel Pearson
Frank Deboer
Dennis Bergkamp
Roberto Di Mateo
Marcelo Bielsa
Neil Lennon
Roger Schmidt
Michael Laudrop
Eddie Howe
Quique Flores

That's a realistic shortlist and an upgrade on what we currently have.

That list isn't really short, mate.

It's also 60% pyar tosh.

 

[Mickey]

Who the funk is Roger Schmidt?.

 

[TheFinnFan]

Delusion is the word sadly. He's become General Rodgers.

Well, do you have a better shortlist?

Bayern Leverkusen manager, very very good, a young manager, with great ideas and the football would be delicious to watch!

 

[RFUS]

Delusion is the word sadly. He's become General Rodgers.

Someone else made this point, but at least when Rodgers had a top class striker running riot in spite of everything else being crap, he managed to have them fighting for the title. Admittedly Suarez is better than Rom, but it's damning nonetheless. To have someone score 25 goals and to still have a worse season than those before... Madness.

I'll throw him in the maybe pile mate, got bigger fish to fry first.

Jose Mourinho.
Pellegrini.

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

Pearson built the Leicester side and started what we see today, he demands a lot from his players and proved last season when Leicester pulled off the greatest survival in the PL era that he knows how to get his teams to battle.
Neil Lennon is not a bad manager, he was unlucky at Bolton with all the financial issues the club have, he has won trophies and has European calibre having competed in the Champions League and even beating Barcelona. Give him the tools and he has the potential.

LOL

 

[eddy]

Can only imagine how the players must feel listening to this guff 3 hours prior to kick off
It really does say a lot about him that he states we are not underachieving.

Either he is a liar, or he genuinely believes it, I honestly think in his own world of hypothesis he really believes
we are not underachieving, if this, if that, but this, but that, ... phenomenal

Jesus Christ.

 

[riddick]

Just heard him on Talksport doing an interview saying that we're not under achieving, made me fume, the fella is deluded, it's only a matter of time, he's living in a dream world were everything is rosy and nothing needs to change. Did he forget he moved from Wigan or something? baffling.

You misunderstood him. He didn't mean WE aren't underachieving, he means HE isn't underachieving. Bottom half is his usual area.

 

[Toffee4eva]

Jose Mourinho.
Pellegrini.

Jose Mourinho.
Pellegrini.

They would not join us. Why would they be interested?

 

[Toffee4eva]

I'll throw him in the maybe pile mate, got bigger fish to fry first.

Which bigger fish mate?
I'd take Schmidt in a heartbeat.
