Tooj Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 If it means bringing Martinez is then I'm all for it, though I really cannot see that happening so for the time being it might actually be a case of better the devil you know with Llambias and Ashley running things.

JH Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 As if Pardew having an 8 year contract matters ffs This is Newcastle United, we do things that people don't expect us to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDT Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Bring in Roberto Martinez, good experience managing relegation battlers. He wouldn't come, him and Dave Whelan pretty much toss each other off every chance they get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the fixtures we'll probs be in the relegation battle at x-mas. Whatever the pain is it'll be better than gowing down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbers Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Martinez could do a job on the shitty budget he would be given. No way it will happen like, and even if it was a possibility from our end didn't he turn down Liverpool not too long ago? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 The ONLY good thing about losing and being utter shit is the hope that a managerial change will bring a change in fortunes. It's so depressing now because we can't even look forward to that. If Pardew does get sacked it won't be until the end of the season, and he's certainly going nowhere even then, if we stay up.

Beren Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I'd rather have the embarrassment of sacking a manager that has just been given an 8 year contract combined with intrigue of who we might bring in than have to put up with more of our fun-draining football. I barely even enjoy it when we win FFS. The fear of being seen as a laughing stock for sacking a poor manager is really nonsensical. Sticking with a poor manager out of fealty to the tenet of 'giving people time' even if you realise they don't have it in them is far more silly than changing managers until you find the right fit, and then sticking with the guy in charge.

Skeletor Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Martinez is a non-starter. No way Whelan will give his mortal enemy his manager for any price and Ashley certainly wouldn't pay the right price even if Whelan was willing to talk.

KaKa Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Martinez turned down Aston Villa and Liverpool, he won't come here to work with Ashley. On top of that Whelan would never allow him to join Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Last season has earned him the opportunity to turn it around imo. Not saying he will, but sacking him now would be as laughable as the Di Matteo sacking. If it gets to February time and we're still in this position, then I'd consider it.

hakka Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 8 Year contract !!! He aint going to be sacked after a few defeats. This. He will be given more time and probably one signing of up to £8m in Jan. Pardew won't quit and his manager of the year award will keep him trying and believing he can turn this around. Unless Pardew and Ashley fall out nothing will change until it's too late. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 what makes anyone think martinez would come here? Lambert left a bigger club than Wigan to manage Villa. Swansea attracted Laudrup. Fulham have got Jol. Even if it's not Martinez I find the idea we couldn't attract somebody who could coach decent football into our squad a bit mad. Even if it is Ashley/Llambias, I think you'd have a queue of managers willing to do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Can't have too many complaints tbh Would like to give Martinez a go Could have been 6 today, not good enough and hasn't been for a while Martinez turned Liverpool down and has Ashley's nemesis as chairman, no chance Would hate Hughes Not sure who else there is? Di Matteo? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
