new number 2 - Martinez?

It would be cheaper to hire an interpreter. :-)

Or send Brian Kidd for Spanish lessons (crash course)

True :).

I honestly thought the idea would be give Pellegrini a three year contract, patrick viera a year or so in EDS role, then promote him to be our number 2 with manuel, then give him the full job when Pellegrini leaves to be possibly NYCFC manager :)

I don't know why we would need Martinez for translating. Pellegrini speaks very good English and of course can speak Spanish.

Besides, the coaches etc that will be brought in by Pellegrini can soon learn English like Mancini's staff did.

more idiots believing the media bollocks.


why would an FA cup winning manager linked with jobs like liverpool, aston villa and everton be an assistant?

 

[6one]

can't see Martinez wanting to be a number 2 myself.

Daily Mail eh! I wouldn't believe the fucking date on the front page of that shit excuse of a newspaper!

Martinez, a manager whose team only starts playing when the clocks go forward. He clearly has a great insight, given the limited resources that he has, into buying players with great potential and seems to stick by them, only to be rewarded with poor results in the early part of a campaign before the team gels. Then his players depart each season for better contracts elsewhere.

Performance like this would not be tolerated by our owners. The league would be surrendered by October and we would be out of Europe by November. He wouldn't lose so many players as at Wigan and it would be likely that young, home grown players a chance, as our owners want. However to me there seems to be a slumbering winning mentality in Martinez's personality, which seems to only wake up when the shit hits the fan.

Exactly; it'd be (at best) a sideways step in his career if he came to us as a number 2. It's time for him to have a go at managing a ''big'' club (which Everton are). A bit like when Moyes left Preston all those years ago.

This story doesn't resonate with the story about Viera being groomed for the top job once Pellegrini is finished. Can't see it

I think Martinez is a bright and ambitious manager that needs a bigger challenge. Does he go to Everton, managing a team with a small transfer budget, aspiring to qualify for Euro Disney league and perhaps get to the odd semi in the domestic cups?

Or does he take a step backwards for two years or so, to then come forward big time to succeed Pellegrini, managing a club that can afford and attract the worlds best players in front of a potential 60 000 supporters. A club that has owners with real vision to build the worlds best footballing academy to produce our own world class players..

Hmm, I know what I would, do and I won't be surprised if Martinez becomes Pellegrini's right hand man for a chance to manage a club with ambition, or does he go to a club with low ambitions and realistic expectations. A club that just throws toffees at thieving scouse scallies! ; )
