I don't mind them taking their time over this now actually. I feel we will see a massive difference in the players now Bruce has gone, that lift alone should help us out while we make sure we bring the right person in for the job. If we had kept Bruce on while we took our time to find a new manager though, I would have been more worried, but now he is gone, the total lift in mood should help everyone.

Looks like this is some way off and they are going to be talking to lots of people a number of times. Not sure we are close on any one individual.

Go and get Emery

Fuck no. Should stay well clear of Bobby Bullshit. 

[PeepShow4life]

Rather have Gerrard or even Lampard than Martinez.

My realistic first choice is Emery then Fonseca.

[xLiaaamx]

So far I'm anyone but Lampard. I'm sick of managers who's strength is they have a lot of Media Mates. 

[SUPERTOON]

Martinez and we go down imo

Hopefully he won't leave his Belgium post until after the WC. Most likely I'd like to think.

Unless he knows he has no chance of winning it

Not sure why he'd even bother having the interview if that was the case.

Not that I think he'd come here but I don't understand the Mourinho love personally, the guys an arrogant bully and his team's, even with great players, are boring to watch.

I know he has links to Sir Bobby and always said nice things about us but he is the total opposite to him.

Bobby was a gentleman and would never place the blame on individual players. I don't think he would like the way Mourinho treats people tbh.

 

 

Think he'd be a good fit for us at this time tbh. He's a brilliant organiser, he understands and probably shares the football obsession we have up here, and if the takeover had happened in the summer, I think he would have jumped at the chance to manage Newcastle.

Someone posted a video of Xavi on here a week or so ago, where he was talking about his tactics and how he is obsessed with possession. Imagine him trying to get the current batch of players to play a possession style of football  Have we had even one match in the league with more than 45% possession the last 3 seasons?  

 

These other managers work on this stuff in training constantly though, and so the team will surely improve on it a lot.

 

We look so bad and think our players are totally incapable of playing any kind of possession football because they only train 3 days a week, and when they do actually train only God knows what nonsense they were doing under Bruce.

[KaKa]

Martinez scares me man. I really like the guy, but I just don't think it would work for some reason.

 

The worry is that if they start getting too into the experience of the league malarkey he will be one of the favourites.

[Raconteur]

Thought he was the next Barca manager?

[Kid Icarus]

Does Martinez have something on everyone in the game or something? Never known such a mediocre manager be linked to and get jobs that seem so far beyond their capabilities. He's like the Jermaine Jenas of management. 

[TRon]

Martinez was an up and coming manager about 15 years ago, I still like him generally, just think he's been surpassed by far savvier new breeds these days. He seems almost old school by comparison.

Some of the candidates mentioned are exciting, but I can't think of anyone more ideally suited than Benitez.

I know what you mean and feel the same.

 

When Rafa was here, it seemed the only thing holding him back was not having owners who matched his ambitions for the team.

Now they are here, it's a shame he isn't. However, now he's at Everton and he's not one to break a contract.

 

I am excited to see who we get in though and I think we can all agree whoever it is will be far better than what we've just had.

When you see comments like ASM then I can't see the mood being lifted that much. Just makes me think we've got a bunch of workshy keents. Roll on January

I do think this place gets a bit like RAWK with Rafa, but in terms of what we need in a manager right now, he'd be ideal. It's a shame he isn't available.
