Klaus Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) 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. Edited October 29, 2021 by Klaus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that the odds mean anything at all. They will because it’s Martinez and no one wants him ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbthree3 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlies Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Jones should be gone as soon as the new guy is in the full lot of them should be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbthree3 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Same day as Terry falling to 9/1 from 66/1 or whatever. As I said something nice to know not based on fact Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberto2005 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 He’s been out of club football a while now as well so that’s another negative Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbthree3 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) 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 Edited October 29, 2021 by nbthree3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
