Quote from: dave.woodhall on June 09, 2011, 11:13:35 AMWhen did we become Manchester United? I ask this question as there seems to be a lot of our supporters just lately convinced we have some divine right to success and who get very upset when it doesn't happen. Surely we have as much right to success as Manchester United or any other club?

Everton gave a chance to Moyes. Spurs gave a chance to Redknapp. We gave chances to Sir Brian and Sir Graham. None of those managers (yes, yes Harry won 1 FA Cup) had really pulled up any trees at the top level before they went onto good careers at the top level of English football. Maybe Martinez has it in him to get to that level given the right circumstances.

Somehow due to beg, borrow and stealing, ST is renewed. Cant wait until the next home game. Come on you Villa Boys

All of those managers did a damn sight better than being the second lowest scorers in the Premier League two years running, being spanked on a regular basis, and staying up by the skin of their teeth. If we'd had a manager who'd been in charge for a 9-1 and an 8-0 defeat in the same season, he'd have been strung up by now.Wigan might try and pass the ball a bit, but they don't score any goals, concede a shit load, and hardly win any games. Most of Martinez's signings have been crap as well.
As I've said, he's not close to being my number one choice because there are more accomplished candidates. But even though he's had two disappointing years at the top level at Wigan shouldn't make him untouchable either. If that's the case, Spurs would never have hired Redknapp, because up until the FA Cup he was awful.
