Which manager do you prefer?

[longers]

destroyed numerous clubs who were relegated down the leagues.

I’m no fan of Sam but don’t really understand this statement. How exactly has he destroyed numerous clubs who were relegated given he’s never managed a club who has been relegated under his management ?

 

[Timak]

For once I just want a manager who likes good football AND knows how to coach it AND knows how to identify players.

 

[Baines' left foot]

I reckon Koeman would have turned it around you know look at how well he did in his first season he deserved the chance to turn it around !!!!

 

[bring the ghost on]

Shocked to see so many prefer Martinez. I wouldn't have Martinez back here if he came cap in hand and returned the £10m pay-off he conned us out of. Utterly dreadful manager for us.

BS is hardly great but at least he's rescued us from a very, very worrying situation at the bottom of the table.

Sunderland, Bolton, Blackburn, Newcastle all went within 18 months of him being sacked/fleeing the scene if his crimes.

There's not much to get, it's just facts.

How on earth can you think thats a bad reflection on him ? Its the complete opposite. All that statement does is make Allardyce look good at his job

Martinez, even if we went down the crapper in his third season. Kind of ironic that the guy whose team banged the final nail in Bob's coffin is now our manager.

 

[Pabbers]

I pick Martinez because that first season was my best ever following us.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Not one of them are fit to lace Moyes’ boots.

 

[goodisonopheliac]

Or Joe Royle's.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Like arguing who's fart smells worse. Pair of bottom half flumps.

 

[KaiserEFC]

They are both entirely one dimensional and can only play one way. This is why neither are good enough and neither will succeed.

He fills the squads with aging no marks who can't sustain their level for any length of time. It baffles me that people think he's blameless in the demise of those clubs. He's just as liable as Koeman is for our abject squad.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

If Sam’s role is to secure our Premier league status and we fund a new progressive manager in June then I will accept that.

A new DoF will likely be required as well.

I have a confession to make. I preferred clueless brown shoes.

Who do you prefer?

For where we are now, Allardyce all day.

I loved Martinez ( until it all went wrong ), but he failed here, and at least I have confidence in Allardyce to steady the ship, whereas if Bobby was in charge today, I'd be worried about getting relegated.
