Dokko Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 On 13/01/2008 at 14:01, Enrique said: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/swansea_city/7185930.stm Sir John Hall has suggested that managerless Newcastle could consider Swansea City boss Roberto Martinez as a candidate to go to St James' Park. The Magpies life president and former chairman told BBC 5 Live's Sportsweek that Martinez might be an outside bet. "Do you go for a big name, like the (Guus) Hiddinks, or do you try and find someone who can give us the football we had under (Kevin) Keegan," Hall said. "There's the Swansea manager, Martinez, who seems to be turning them around." Swansea are flying high in League One this season, three points clear of Nottingham Forest at the top of the table and with a game in hand. The south Wales club maintained their momentum on Saturday by overcoming a spirited Luton, beating the financially stricken club 3-1 at Kenilworth Road. Swansea had their own brush with liquidation in 2002 and Martinez has every sympathy with the Hatters' plight. "It's a sad situation, a club like Luton Town with a huge history, to be in this situation and I think we all feel for them," Martinez said. "We hope they will turn the corner very quickly and they will have a bright future." Step away from the crack pipe old man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Considering that we're looking for a "long term" manager, Hitzfeld and Houllier are both a bit old for the job aern't they? Granted, same age as Redknapp, but that's why I think we shouldn't have been looking at him in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EthiGeordie Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I would approch Hiddink and pay him over the odds. He likes money and I am sure he will jump up. His teams play attractivly and he is very successful at wherever he is and speaks good English. With his appointment we will get the third best coach in the league which is not a small feet by any means. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 If we want top class managers there are quite a few available/easy to tempt at this moment in time. In order of priority: Mourinho Hiddink Hitzfeld Houllier Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 In reference to having a "German" manager, the opposition fans would have a belting time with ditties such as: Hitzfeld has only got one ball the other is in the Albert hall...etc The tune to dad's army, changing hitler for hitzfeld... I wonder if anyone could make up our own affectionate xenophobic ditty??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
