omariqy Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Still think OGS is our main man. But we will give the opportunity to Martinez and Lambert to put their case forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladerunner Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Am I alone in thinking Martinez needs to grow some bollocks? His Victorian father aka Dave Whelan has deigned to allow him to talk to Liverpool. How gracious ffs. I am not entirely convinced that the propaganda around Martinez is really justified but surely if he is that good he will talk to who he pleases and Whelan can just **** off. I though he had not signed a new contract with Wigan anyway. All in all I am rapidly going off Martinez, big fish in a small sea and happy to be so. Mind you if he took the Liverpool job I would give him 12 months maximum. The Liverpool fans are so utterly deluded they think a simple change of manager will deliver the CL so they will give him no time at all. Liverpool are miles off the top four and are living on past dreams. I actually think Martinez could be the big looser in all this. Since he has been allowed to speak to liverpool he has come under closer scrutinity and the media have picked up on what I have thought all along:- 1.He kept wigan up by a single goal season before last 2.Lambert and Rodgers have done better than him this season 3. Steve Bruce did better before him Every pool fan and every WBA fan doesn't want him. Much as I wish he would get the liverpool job - I sense they will find him out - just in time. I don't want him as villa boss - but the scenario could be - he doesn't land the liverpool job - so either goes back to Wigan with his tail between his legs - or makes it known he wants the Villa or WBA job. I hope its not him - but if wants the Villa job - with OGS waiting in the wings - the roles are very much reversed this time. I think the test for Lambert and Rodgers is next season. Many teams coming up do well in their first season. Jewell got Wigan to 10th in their first season and Coppell got Reading to 8th. Their respective following seasons, Wigan scraped up in 17th and Reading were relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladerunner Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I am not entirely convinced that the propaganda around Martinez is really justified but surely if he is that good he will talk to who he pleases and Whelan can just **** off. I though he had not signed a new contract with Wigan anyway. Just been looking and it seems he did sign a new 3 year contract, so we'll have to pay for him if Randy wants him. Another chance for Whelan to fleece us. Maybe all this Liverpool talk from Whelan is a smoke screen to ramp up the price for him. If there's one thing Whelan knows how to do, it's make money. Wigan owner Dave Whelan said to ESPN: "I was actually with Roberto when our chief executive called to tell him that Liverpool have made their approach. I told Roberto that he had my permission to speak with Liverpool. "I knew that the day would come when this happened, so it wasn't unexpected, he is a good manager so I am not surprised a club like Liverpool want him. "You have got to regard Liverpool as a big club, so I told Roberto that I wouldn't stand in his way, it was up to him to decide, and I shall await his decision. It is up to him and Liverpool now. "I can imagine he will want to manage such a big club but I would willingly keep him if I could. He only signed a new three-year contract three months ago, so yes I would be due compensation, but I would rather have Roberto than the compensation."

sonic_bouma Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I've gone way off Martinez. Seems like such a downgrade after all the OGS talk. See this is the problem... he's not a downgrade at all... we cant let talk of OGS, who was hardly even considered by 80% of fans before, cloud our judgement of other very decent managers... beggars cannot be choosers when our other options are curbs,bruce mcarthy etc..... people talking about AVB are living in cloud cuckoo land.... OGS,Martinez,Lambert, Rodgers are the best it is going to get for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intercourse_The_Penguin Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Ok. Just woken up, and had a most vivid dream that we got Moyes. Randy asked me personally to head up and escort him back to Bodymoor. He let me drive his Lamborghini on the return journey. All seemed completely plausible. 125/1 so get in before the odds come in. ITD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy_Evergo Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Interesting read on AVB.... Not a good fit for our squad reading that. If he mentioned Transitions and Circulation to our squad, they would be off looking for newly opened nightclubs. :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The foreign manager that YankeeMadrid was referring to who's name can be abbreviated with three letters not AVB... but RDM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I think a strongly worded supportive letter to Faulkner, outlining how **** great it would be to hire a completely random manager like OGS to shake our club up, would be the best idea.

PieFacE Posted May 19, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted May 19, 2012 Don't want RDM. Nope me neither. Not sure he'd be a good fit for us and our squad. I don't really trust him with a re-build of the squad. But for some reason I trust OGS to do that. Purely based on a 45min YouTube video haha. Pretty dumb but... it's how I feel.
