Via the leaks from his agent. Lots of reports we have interviewed multiple candidates though. Favre and Fonseca are the only two that have been mentioned in that respect.

The Prophet Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Fonseca always interviews well according to him and his agent. Despite a few reports that he bombed the Spurs interview. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 For what it's worth, Martinez came across very well in the BBC documentary about Belgium's World Cup run. I don't like him and don't rate him very highly, but there's no doubt he's an absolute world apart from the feckless morons and utter pond life we've had managing us recently.

prefabtoon Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Looks like Martinez has the job Graeme Jones has been told he will stay on so Martinez and jones together again.

nbthree3 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) No reports of an approach, not even a mention that he's a favourite. We've always known Martinez is on the so-called shortlist but a frontrunner per-se hasn't been found yet, they're taking their time I imagine (Fonseca, Favre spoken to at least, Howe I think has had talks via Zoom) Edited October 29, 2021 by nbthree3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groo Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Martinez was the catalyst for our rise to the Premier League, well loved by the fans, he even said as many managers do, how he'd have to be dragged out of our club. After 1 1/2 years in League One and 1 in the Championship he was less than dragged away by the Premier league's mighty Wigan. Not sure how he's progressed in style, but with us he was very attack minded, wasn't too keen on defence, he didn't mind the team letting in 3 as long as we scored 4. Very exciting times. I don't think he would have got us up though, when he left we had Paulo Sousa for a year, a much needed change. Sousa worked on our defence and most scores were 1-0, 0-1 or 0-0, the latter most I think. Sousa was p[oached by Leicester and in come Rodgers who took us up. Be fun seeing what Martinez would do, Keegan-esk I would think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Bruce to Martinez is a big upgrade regardless of where it’s where we’re ultimately aiming. If he keeps us up and gives a bit of hope and bride - all the good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
