Just out of interest who is your candidate for his successor?
I'd like Martinez to turn it around, I really would. But there is a problem with that now.....
i. If he changes something (it'll have to be his stubbornness) the question will always be there - why not change it sooner?
ii. Having been so positive last season, why setup against the strengths of his star striker he made a full signing of in the summer?
iii. With the fans booing, a lot, what is he doing between those moments usually at full time to when he gets interviewed a matter of minutes later?
iv. Working free kicks on the edge of the opponents area back to our keeper - if we were playing the harlem globe trotters weekly I could understand not playing into their hands (haha), so, is the fear and lack of confidence in the players on the pitch instilled by him or simply something he is either ok with or not aware of?
v. Out with a whimper to Swansea, guts and glory but out on pens to the Ham, is his reputation as a fantastic cup manager a falsehood?
vi. Wheres the nasty streak? Wheres the never say die attitude? Heads drop so quick and then we get steam rollered. Its something we were warned about by Wigan fans - when his sides go bad they go terrible. When does he address this glaring issue?
I get the feeling and it is becoming more of a headache that maybe the time just isn't right, he's dug his heels in and it's getting worse, maybe at the moment the job is too big, there's expectations outstripping both his previous clubs put together, the supporters are booing every game, he appears to be watching a different game, his subs (when they happen!) occasionally make the
Moyes fiasco of subs look like genius (not swapping McGeady at half time vs Ham was criminal). He isn't messing about with players that cost two pound ten a go ,it's a side full of internationals, he's been given big monies to spend, he's allowed the best fullback partnership in the league to be negated. It should never have been allowed to get so bad as this, it was all on him to alter it months ago and he failed.
He appears to continue to pursue that failure and thats just simply not good enough - not even for a sunday pub team.
Tough road ahead.
