Who do you want as the next manager? New poll option.

1. AVB
2. Lambert
3. Poyet
4. FSW
5. guardiola


for me

I'll probably kick myself for asking, but, who's FSW?

Fat Spanish Waiter = Rafa Benitez.

And is right up there with "'The Mighty Reds YNWA'" in terms of how much it irritates me. Mind you, everything is irritating me of late.

[pauliewalnuts]

Still fancy Poyet. Martinez is really intriguing and I would love us to play like he can get his side playing but I don't think he is going to come, so rule him out to be honest!

Well, it should be relatively straightforward, after all, our defence has spent two years playing like his defences do - poorly.

No, I agree with that. It's a generally prejudiced and ill-educated nickname for someone. Still, there we go.

I like Martinez's attacking play, especially towards the end of a season, I just can't see him coming here if Liverpool are interested.

They will have been warned well away from di Matteo by the local press, and anyone else who's dealt with him.

Was he that much of an arse to deal with?

Apparently.

Well they made the last appointment with their fingers in their ears, completely ignoring the warnings, so expect di Matteo to be "unveiled" tomorrow.

About the only good thing you could say about our last manager was that he seemed like a nice bloke, and was easy to deal with.  It's not exactly the most important factor when deciding whether to appoint someone as a football manager.

Does it matter how arsey he is in the press if he get's results? Lambert is meant to be 'awkward' with the National press...

The point is though with Albion RDM didn't get results in the PL. He was good for them in the Championship but in the Prem he only got 26 points from 25  games (TSM form!) hence why they sacked him last February. I'd be really worried if he came to us

It's not them he's arsey to. They just know about it.

Who knows, maybe it finally clicked for Martinez at the end of the season and he finally found a style of playing that gets results at the top level.  Would be interesting to see what he could achieve if he had a similar run at the start of the season as opposed to the end of it.

I personally can't see him turning down the Liverpool job if it has been offered to him.

OGS wanted the job. He said he had a release clause in his contract for move to PL. He said if an offer was made he would accept. He named other people, players and coaches, he would bring with him. His trusted friends said that he was on his way. However Randy and Co were outwitted by a Nowegian version of Sullivan and Gold. A fiasco IMO.

Hindsight being 20/20 vision and all that, but I definitely think it could have been handled better.

Imagine how easy that conversation was for Rokke:  "So they have left you to face this shitstorm at home, with questions from the media every five minutes about your future and they haven't even offered you the job?   You are just one of a number of candidates?   Doesn't sound like they are serious.  Here's a new salary at x amount per annum, and here's some extra cash for our CL campaign."

And the reply from OSG would have been "It was you who created the shitstorm, you arsehole."

Why is Martinez not known as the Thin Spanish Waiter?
