Amanda if you do read this do not appoint Martinez he's useless and his teams can't defend. We won't stay up with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionOfGosforth Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 28 minutes ago, KaKa said: Paulo Fonseca was the name I was trying to remember yesterday. Apparently he was on the list to become manager had the takeover gone through previously, and was later linked with Tottenham though that didn't go through in the end either. Not totally up to date with modern continental managers, Is he the lad who played up top for Napoli in the 90s? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Fonseca would be great; entertaining football with solid defensive foundations. Really rate him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 It feels weird as an NUFC fan to sit here seeing people turn their nose up at people like Martinez or Gerrard. A week ago I’d have licked a cats poo in the garden for either of them. It’s going to take me a while to recognise we’re not shopping from the bins anymore. My ultimate wish would be Conte, but to be frank I’d be happy with anyone and give them all a clean slate to work with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armchair Pundit Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) It's very petty but if he's turned down an approach from us based on our current stature then I don't want Conte, ever. That said, I don't think he'd be a good fit for us anyway, I think we need someone who can get involved with the fans more, like Rafa, Keegan and Robson did. Rafa would still be my preferred choice but I can't see him going back on a contract. I think Poch would get in with the fans, after seeing what he was like at Spurs, I'm not sure whether Gerrard's ready yet after only having managed a pub team and I really don't know enough about Favre or Fonseca (not tuning my nose up at either of them, just don't know enough about them).

Wolfcastle Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) Having said that I like Martinez as a bloke and the football matches he creates, just its in the same way I like to watch fireworks - from afar, without any investment, effort or risk on my part.

Gerrard really hasn’t done anything to show he’s going to be a top manager yet. I see him the same as I would a manager that has won the Greek or Austrian league. Neil Lennon has 5 SPL’s.

Are we looking for a top manager though? Or are we looking for someone to take us up a few levels? The consortium have talked about gradual improvement and how many top managers are going to want to work with a squad of Joelintons? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
