It's an obvious statement but football is a very unique industry and no one is going to come from the outside, with no one inside the club to assist and guide, and get it right immediately. They are in such a difficult situation because they are expected to, and in a lot of respects have to, hit the ground running. That's such a big ask of them.

Dokko Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Villas Boas. Fonseca. Rafa. Still options out there and tbh I'd have had them all over Emery. Rafa is still possible imo, the longer it ticks on for both clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Dug out Neil's latest thoughts on Martinez (from 2016): "Martinez is asking us to play in a way certain players are not comfortable with. Individual mistakes plus a lack of protection means our defending is regularly appalling, it surely has to be the worst in the league when you look at how easy it is to score against us. Immensely frustrating when you consider the attacking talent we have. If things don't pick up sharp-ish or we win the League Cup, I can see Martinez getting binned off, because it's clear most of our errors come from not clearing our lines and trying to overplay - and that comes from the manager. He hasn't found the balance." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he will come now either after what has happened over the last 4 weeks. No manager with integrity & who rates themselves will put up with being seen as such a short term appointment. We are in a real mess and Martinez looks the most likey candidate. Personally I would honestly give it to Keegan now for this season. He still will have enough in his locker to get this lot safe with 6 months to go and money to spend in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Nice of the new regime to ease us into this “not having to be miserable all the time because you support a well-run football club” thing as opposed to springing it on us all at once. I don’t think my rapidly aging heart would have survived that abrupt of a change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ashley really wanted to go for him he could have got him. The issue is that it's not the coach we want under these owners, we want one who has ambitions way beyond Howe, and talent to take us there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
