JoeQuince Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) I guess now that it's happened, I have to come to terms with it. I can only see this going very well or very poorly. So, I'll be shitting myself for the next few months, waiting to see just how we play under him.

RuffRob Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 We have got a manager who has been in demand for the past couple of years and he's a decent and honest bloke - so all the very best of luck to him. I don't think we could have realistically found a much better replacement. As I have said before, there are positives and negatives about all the front running candidates. Lets all focus on Martinez positive attributes and look forward to seeing some ever increasing attractive football! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogsy Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Meh, I'm not creaming my pants over Martinez but he's much better than the shite we've been linked with. The only two I'd have over him are Pereira & the Schalke bloke. He's a million steps ahead of Lennon, O'Neill, Redknapp and the other bum-duffers the press have linked us with. Yeah it could have been a lot lot worse, and just remember, Moyes was not exactly a world renowned manager when he came to us. Welcome Roberto, do us proud!!!

Romey 1878 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Not my first choice, by a long shot, but I'll back him to the hilt. In Martinez we trust . COYB! Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Absolutely delighted. Weigh up the pros and cons and we potentially have a world class manager. A return to the school of science after Royles dogs of war, Smiths golden oldies, Moyes conservative hard to beat. He's not going to be everyones cup of tea, but anyone who is prepard to look into performance versus resource (seriously - not just transfer fee's, wages versus turnover etc) and we have an absolute gem on our hands. Very excited, and finally "WELL DONE BILL, YOU VERY RARELY GET CREDIT OFF ME, BUT WELL BLOODY DONE!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thoward18 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 I'm not going to pretend to be in love with the move. His tenure at Wigan was hardly impressive. That being said, he's certainly a better choice than Redknapp or Hughes. And one thing that pisses me off in the sports world is that fans will take an immediate, initial stance and then refuse to budge from it, instead opting to justify their original stance any way they can. I don't like the move right now, but I am fully behind him now that he is ours and I hope to like him half as much as I liked Moyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
