Both have had good/bad spells. Both are overhyped by the media. Both have made some good signings and some bloody awful ones. Both have spent big money at times and gone on to underachieve. What I will say about martinez is he isn't afraid of losing - probably why hes actually won something. That's probably because he is so used to it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My F5 button is overworked. I think the problem is XIA has given a lot of interview - these are picked by the press not always in date order. I don't want to get on Xia case - but he does seem a little naive (in a good way) - Was the above an assumption that Moyes would take the job ? - Over the weekend - he was promising an appointment this week, - at the time of the announcement he said 2 weeks - I am just waiting for:- "we want it done quickly - but its important we get the right man' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That logic is incredible. Moyes beat that season (4th) and finished much higher with a worse squad on a regular basis. Yet you're here slamming Moyes and defending Martinez to the hilt. Martinez has taken Everton backwards with better players. It's remarkable. Edited May 26, 2016 by StefanAVFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Thomas Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) 47 minutes ago, hippo said: How can they ? - If Hollis has a dosier saying 'Pearson' - How can he then appoint RDM ? - whilst the takeover isn't 100% - Say the worst happens the deal collapses - Hollis then has a manager in place he doesn't really want. So Xia must wait until assumes full control - before appointing his own man - best case scenario middle of next week ? - worst case Late June....hope it doesn't go beyond that. They will have a meeting, discuss, make a decision and appoint someone - they cannot afford to wait to late June! As our Tony says "the season is coming very soon." Yesterday on CNN Xia said 'We have talked to a couple of very good candidates and I think we will decide in maybe just a couple of days.” (3.08-3:40). PS. that women is so annoying....

Guest av1 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 16 minutes ago, mwj said: The Tom Ross interview? That's the exact opposite conclusion I came to from that interview. To me it was Hollis saying "I still have to emphasise that I am Chairman for legal reasons but reading between the lines Xia is now making the decisions" Yes thats the one. I'll have another listen, but i seem to remember TR asking him specifically if he could/would appoint a manager without Tony's approval, to which he was quite adamant about the fact that he was still Chairman and had his own preference, he seemed pretty clear. I'll have another listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope its the next couple of days. But if they don't reach agreement this could drag on. I m sorry we appear to have missed out on Pearson - I think Derby will be very strong next season.

Though its been widely reported is there any substance or quotes about Moyes ruling himself out? No it's mainly come through Pat Murphy who has been spot on with the Villa in recent months. It's as good as having quotes IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfcwills10 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I heard him say in one of the interviews that the search had been comprehensive and has been going on for a few months. If that's the case, I find it hard to believe the only people in contention are Pearson, RDM and Moyes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People assuming it could be Martinez on the grounds he has just become available. Wasnt these quotes taken right before Moyes rejected us? i think thats who he was implying to there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Barring a left field appointment its going to be RDM. If it were Pearson he would be by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is quite up high in the betting. A few online polls are suggesting that Pearson is a much more popular choice than RDM - I wonder of Xia's eagerness to please may make him pause here ?

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I feel bad that he has had to answer the same questions, over, and over again. Have his credentials questioned, over and over again. Yuo can see he is obviously not comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
