[Exeter 77]

Any odds on Diego Martinez?

Who?

Joint managers Diego Simeone and Robert Martinez😉

Any odds on Diego Martinez?

He’s 16/1 on skybet but I've never heard of him.

This is what makes me laugh about the new manager debate, so many are saying ‘x’ would be a disaster but ‘y’ would be brilliant. We have zero clue. A name, a former player, foreign, British, a current top manager (within reason of who we could realistically get) doesn’t automatically = success

NSWE/Purslow got the right man the last time around so until they show me they can’t make good decisions then I’m backing them to choose the right man for us again now

I admire your confidence
I still think they’ll blow it And will end up with Mr uninspiring

Based on what? Your own gut feeling?

Ex Granada coach.

That's just a randomly generated Spanish manager name. Does he wear a black turtleneck, and did he once manage Valencia three times in one season?

Yep sorry to be so negative

I could throw a bucket of water from the roof my building and soak three Diego Martinezes.

Sound. And what about the coach from Radio Rentals or Rumbelows?

Tyne Tees and Anglia coaches could make a case.

Will the board have the vision to hire him?

I think a lot of us are feeling a bit deflated about this now.  It feels like the end of another false dawn - hopefully its not

Quite possible mate. Unfortunately I’m nowhere near close enough to the inner training circles and modern coaching. So to judge for sure who would work and who wouldn’t is almost impossible. It’s risk attached regardless plus perceptions change.
If this had happened 2 seasons ago and we were linked to Moyes we would mostly have said hell no he’s crap - now he’s flying. Shows if the club setup is right it and they have the right coach/manager it can work extremely well even if that person isn’t popular at first

I hope you're right. But if they appoint Gerrard, Lampard or Terry, it will show that they have less of a clue than us. Or, indeed, than any six year old who has ever read "Shoot!" magazine.

They should be looking to appoint someone who makes the world sit up and take notice, not Sherwood mark II.

Easy to dismiss suggestions. Who then?

Would be happy with Fonseca, Favre or ten Hag.

Would settle for Potter.

Still, Purslow should have a far greater football knowledge than me and be able to consider plenty of brilliant candidates who I might never have heard of. Seeing as that's his job. Gerrard, Lampard or Terry would be unbelievably lazy choices.
