So you don't think Martinez is a promising young manager? He is the guy that set Swansea on their way produced the model that Rodgers and Laudrup followed there.
I like Martinez too,but can he pull big name players ??
Looks like Martinez has been getting lessons in management from Wenger given how he dismissed the horrendous challenge on the Newcastle player at the weekend.

We gave Hughes shed loads and it got us nowhere. Mancini has done a good job in difficult circumstances. ie permanent press hassle, weight of expectation.
Whether Moyes, Martinez etc can handle that who knows. We probably knew Mancini could because he managed successfully at Internazionale, a club who's expectation levels and history are in excess of ours.
As we saw with Hughes, quite good at Blackburn, managing a mid table outfit is no preparation for managing the modern Manchester City.
Personally feel Martinez is lightweight. Moyes may have the cojones but not the style of play and doesn't seem a fit. Laudrup of the three mentioned might have what it takes, temperamentally wise and also in coaching ability.
I liked Ireland and believed,had he not been a bit mental,he could have been brilliant,however,it was the right decision to sell him on.
My username was just a play on words i liked.
As for Hughes' contribution - you really believe the acquisitions of the bedrock of our current team had no influence on our present success?
Thanks for clearing that up. I agree Hughes brought in some decent talent. He was however poor at his day job which was organizing the team. And since he left us he has hardly covered himself in glory.
If Roberto leaves I can quite easily see him winning Seria A again with Milan, Inter or whoever. He is, whether you like his tactics or not, pretty driven. Success does seem to be in his DNA.
I also accept that we are not doing as well as we should be with the players we have got.

Pretty sure he said he will contact the club and see how the player is doing and there will also be an apology from the Wigan player....your right though...horrendous

It would be interesting to compile a list of past wanted managers. Sure Paul Jewell was wanted a few years back.
