[red till i die!!]

on ssn just now that martinez is to meet with whelan in the next hour to discuss his future.
they are also still reporting that swansea have recieved no contact from us.

[Kenny Kan]

Out of the two, I'd opt for Martinez. Maybe it's the Spanish sounding surnamce that sways me. 

Who ever is placed in charge will get my support 100% and no less.

Why?  By the time this new management team is appointed there isn't going to be much time for them to be active in the transfer market.

The transfer market doesn't open until July 1st, I am pretty sure the manager will be appointed long before then. The market shuts at 12:00am on September 1st. That's 8 weeks to find players, buy players etc.

Quite simply because Big Geordie wrecking ball Andy "please play it in the air " recently changed his name (by deed poll ) to "if you would like to play it to my
feet sometime maybe this year, I will prove I am equally adept on the ground as in the air " Carroll

*Carragher looks around * and replies "AVE IT "

[burjennio]

  Ah yes Id forgot Andy Carroll is now the master of the ten minute step-over (that he still beat John Terry with  )

Carra  I expect a transfer request after the first day of pre-season training

the problem with being long in the tooth though mate is that i`ve lost count of how many of these `5 year plans` and `brave new dawns` ive seen come and go over the last 20 odd years.
god knows how many times i`ve seen us `turn corners`, `put in foundations` and be `10 games away from greatness`
in reality though the only teams that have gatecrashed the established order at the top of the division all spent big money (blackburn, chelsea and city) and for all the talk of football changing and being a different game these days the one constant is that the team with the best players generally wins the league.
i dont think this moneyball malarky will make us the team with all the best players, we might find `undervalued players in the market` and we might pick up a few players for 6 or 7 million that we sell for double or tripe that but we arent going to find 11 of those all at once. and for every one of those that are a success we will sign at least two or three that are flops. thats at the very least.
some fans are optimistic now because thats what a change of manager brings, it doesnt matter if you are in the prem or in the blue square every fan is the same, when their club brings in a new manager they start to convince themselves that this fella is the one to bring the glory days back.
i was the same once myself, i was made up when souness arrived, he was nearly as big a legend as dalglish for his feats in a red shirt and he revolutionized football in scotland, instead of players coming south he turned a 100 years of tradition on it`s head and had english players going north, he dragged rangers out of the stone age and took on the bigots by signing catholic`s (which caused a huge storm at the time) and he won trophy after trophy with his side playing entertaining football with skillfull players like dave cooper on the wing. souness ticked every box, he was young, dynamic, unafraid to make huge decisions (signing mo johnston under the noses of celtic) and was a great, great player himself who had brought idea`s back from italy. he looked like martinez and rodgers on steroids and he was walking into a club where the fanbase worshipped him. it couldnt go wrong.
every manager we`ve had over the last 20 years all seemed to be `the one` at the time, wether it was roy going back to the bootroom philosophy and playing great football or houllier who was going to drag this club into the 21st century it`s always been the same.
this is the first time in 20 years though that i`ve actually thought that we are in a state of managed decline, considering we are the second biggest club in this country i think imo that we are showing a startling lack of ambition by gambling on a manager that has 1 years top flight experience with a mid table club.
with this new management structure that has never worked in england and with this buying players undervalued by the market transfer philosophy i`ll be absolutely amazed if it works. the only hope i`ve got is that i dont actually think our squad is that bad, i just hope we manage to overperform next season as much as we under performed this season and somehow get into the top 4 and then the yanks decide to spend big, if we dont get top 4 next season this current philosophy we have now will just see the likes of suarez and even agger etc want to leave the club, they arent going to waste the best years of their career`s waiting for moneyball signings to develop especially when they have the chance to join the likes of barcelona and city.

Seriously mate I have explained why we as fans should share a sense of optimism for the future if a manager who plays progressive football is brought
into the club ..I also have reservations about the owners grand scheme ,but until they abstain from delving into those vast pockets I will reserve my
judgement ..... Seriously though mate I like the majority of your posts and I like the values you retain ,but ffs enough with the doom and gloom because
you're starting to sound as monotone as the Robot of the Hitch Hikers Guide .

Oh you mean "I don't mind playing for Bolton as long as I'm getting regular games " Carragher ?
Or Andy "Bayern Munich wished they had me instead of you have got to be having a laugh ,how the fuck did he score so many goals Gomez "Carroll

[roberto green]

Wouldn't it be ironic if it's a name that we weren't at all expecting....

Que Pep Guardiola...

[metalhead]

It's going to be Brenden Rodgers

Although if Rodgers starts talking like this you will need to interpret mate.
