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

[TheHumbleEgg]

I actually despise the man, but there's absolutely no way he asked for a contract!

...Doc, y'know what, I wouldn't be remotely surprised if he had done and had broached it thus...

'So you're here for the long term Mr MOSH, phenomenal, I want to be a part of that...waddya think?'

(perhaps not quite like that like but you get the gist)

It is not beyond him. Sadly...

 

[Callum]

Woeful manager, always has been an absolute fraud.

 

[Zezti]

Has any manager ever won the FA cup with two different clubs?

Yes, but not recently. Last time it happened was in the 50's with Billy Walker (Sheffield Wednesday in 1935, Nottingham Forest in 1959). Herbert Chapman did it with Huddersfield in 1922 and Arsenal in 1930.

I remember in RM's first season with us when we went out to Arsenal at the QF, in the build up people were saying no-one's ever won it with two different clubs in consecutive years. He's missed out on that, but he could still become only the 3rd to do it with two different teams and the first to do it in 57 years.

Great piece here on the BBC site:

Says it all really. Surely If we lose Saturday this guy has to go!

 

[Legend Barry Horne]

Presumably if we lose the semi he'll go then, if we win he'll be sacked after the final

Thanks for that.

 

[Legend Barry Horne]

Let's just get one thing straight here - he's not even getting us to the final let alone winning the cup!!

We'll get another public bumming on Saturday and Martinez will still be our manager on Monday morning. He'll either be staying until this summer or maybe even next season too.

Grim times

No don't think so - we'll bring in a new top manager with the Moshiri money - looking forward to it

 

[efcjames]

Guys, if we lose Saturday, do you honestly think we'll sack him at the weekend?

No, because there's no manager available.

Hmmmm, makes me think maybe he does have a clause inserted in his current contract about performance and us being able to bin him off should he not meet certain criteria, would make a lot more sense why although a decision has apparently been made to terminate him that they are waiting for a certain time to do so

No compo for him should he fail to meet a league position or deliver a cup win maybe?

 

[Fedlingen]

The fact that he still has a job bothers me to a degree where not even beer nor rum can help me.

 

[Zezti]

No, because there's no manager available.

Rudi Garcia.

Sorry being in the states, I meant the piece of glass in the bathroom... How about a bag over his head whenever he leaves his house...

Sorry bout that.

 

[Jxg]

Rudi Garcia.

Yeah I think we have our standards slightly higher.

 

[Ferg]

Has that clown been sacked yet?
