Yeah, we don't want to think about winning cups at this stage

 

Staying up is our only objective this season and Martinez has a shit record in the PL. I would support him if he comes in, but i would be far from optimistic about our prospects.

Martinez now the bookies favourite at 13/2, with Favre second at 7/1 and Fonseca in third with 9/1. Not that the odds mean anything at all. 

They will because it’s Martinez and no one wants him ?

[nbthree3]

Fwiw Emery's falling reasonably too, he was one of the names Hope mentioned last week. But as odds have proven it's only something nice to know rather than a fact 

[1964]

Those odds though 6.5 to one and 7 to one just shows they have no clue 

[New Beginnings]

where is @Ando7when you need him!

 

Give us something positive for the love of god  

[Charlies]

Like someone previously said, it's just punters seeing names in the media and lumping on. The bookies know nothing.

 

Although I'd chew my left arm off for it to be Emery mind 

[Guest reefatoon]

If Jones has been in their ear regarding Martinez then he needs a good kick in the bollocks. Probably doing it as he knows he would be kept on.

[SUPERTOON]

Jones should be gone as soon as the new guy is in the full lot of them should be.

[nbthree3]

Same day as Terry falling to 9/1 from 66/1 or whatever. As I said something nice to know not based on fact 

[Tiresias]

I'm no big fan of Martinez but if we aren't going to get a triple aaa class manager in immediately he may do fine to start to rebuild the team. I do worry about our defense under him though, but thats true of half the proposed managers

You need something, for sure. Return ticket to RTG maybe? Something positive for the rest of us was being sold only three weeks ago, and Bruce going two weeks ago.

Ryder now saying Martinez

 

This is a farce

[nufcnick]

Unai Emery now favourite, it’s just people putting random bets on

I’ve not seen him say that 

[Alberto2005]

Is Martinez really that bad? Doesn't he at least play decent football, would surely be still a big upgrade on Bruce for a season or two.

[SUPERTOON]

He’s been out of club football a while now as well so that’s another negative

He would be an unmitigated disaster. Not what we need as interim, medium or longer term.

In my opinion obviously.

Don't know why people can't understand this..its not a big market so any half decent punt makes waves

Had a look at Ryder's most recent piece, just a theory because Jones has worked together in the past with him. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-graeme-jones-press-22012760

 

"The Martinez situation is interesting.

 

For a start, the club already hold a dossier on the Belgium boss after he emerged as a leading candidate in 2019 when Bruce eventually got the job.

Whether he is allowed to do both jobs at international level and at United is another big question.

 

But if Amanda Staveley and the powers that be have asked Jones, and the man who interviewed Martinez in 2019 Lee Charnley, their opinions, it's hard to imagine the former Wigan manager's name not cropping up in conversation."

 

And Jones is on the record saying they have the same football outlook having worked together for so long both as a player and in coaching

Fully believe the Belgian FA would have leaked something if we were talking to their manager, remember we have to approach them first to talk to him, especially if he’s had an interview

Be even worse if we let him do both roles at once.

He'll have to role his sleeves up

Charnley being given any say or even being asked would be awful. If he's actually interviewing people then God help us. Too much Ashley regime still hanging around. 

[Numbers]

What if we are down to 10th in the list and its Bruce.

[Kid Icarus]

Is @Neilstill around? Pretty sure he went through it in detail about why Martinez was no good a few years ago.
