Yes,he is predominitely a youth and reserve coach,he would not be the right person to take the managers job.

why are people saying martinez isn't good enough? what chelsea fan would have believed di matteo was the man for them after being sacked by WBA? our last manager hadn't managed a team in 10 years, and most thought he was gonna come in a get us back to winning ways in no time playing brilliant football. read that sentence and see how ridiculous it sounds.
people are just being snobbish because of who martinez manages. he is consistently overachieving, NOW not 20 years ago. if you think about it martinez is a much better candidate for the lfc job then kenny.
we can't say martinez is this or that before he has even taken a training session as lfc manager.
what's that saying about reading a book by it's cover? Remember Roy was backed for the job on almost identical circumstances. Look at how that turned out. I don't we are looking down on Martinez, the man's done brilliant, but there are pressures at a club like Liverpool which may not exist at other clubs. I'd hate to see Martinez rubbing his face vigorously.
I am only responsible for what I write. Not for what you understand.

So it would seem that a well publicized last few games of the season to avoid relegation is enough to be considered a top manager. I'm not knocking Martinez, but how fickle do you have to be to forget that Wigan lost 8 on the bounce and was close to getting the chop himself...from Wigan. They pushed to avoid the drop, narrowly, doesn't mean he should be coming to manage LFC. He conducts himself well and I was glad to see them still in the prem, but I don't want him here. Hell, if you want to look at Martinez, why not Mark Hughes whilst you're at it?! Even with all of the problems he brings with him, Rafa is still in a different league to Martinez, and I don't even want Rafa back. It's time to move forward, make some small calculated risks, I see AVB as a positive calculated risk, I see Martinez as a leap of faith over a chasm. +1. don't think martinez is the man. i believe he would cement our position in mid table.

I agree I think Martinez is the right choice but it's just my opinion and I know most of you don't agree

I agree I think Martinez is the right choice but it's just my opinion and I know most of you don't agree Who are you agreeing with? Because the post above yours says exactly the opposite of what you say. Someone mentioned Martinez was good because he had Valencia - perhaps in a different thread. Like, wtf? I thought Steve Bruce signed him. So why aren't we in for Steve Bruce, then? He had Wigan up to 11th in the table, and never mind the guy before him who had them crack 10th. Yeah, Martinez really is all that, having the club finish worse than any of his predecessors in the EPL for each of 3 seasons. Obviously he's perfect for LFC!

I think the fact that we're interviewing as many people as possible is equally dramatic. It suggests we don't have a clue what we're looking for; playing the field, so to speak. Much like our transfer activity last summer, some might say. "Get some guys who create chances, and a left back." Well we did that, but it didn't exactly work out in the first 12 months. Now we're like, "Get a manager". Will some random bloke be any better than Dalglish?
There are only 4 serious candidates for this job, quite frankly, as most rule themselves out due to present commitments or a lack of desire to stoop to taking on the Liverpool job. Those 4 are Klopp (unlikely), Benitez (some fans will have a field day, as will the press), AVB (young, adventurous, puts out unplayable teams in Portugal, EPL experience with a top club), and Capello (highly experienced and successful as a club manager, but may take time to adjust, oh, and the English hate him). If we're looking outside these 4 but at experienced winners ala Hiddink, Deschamps et al then ok, but if we're serious about Championship managers INSTEAD of any of these people then I wonder about our owners' sanity.

martinez is the favourite so i would say he is a serious candidate. cappello couldn't do the job, he needs a team already set up for him,he's defensive too. avb has a horrible experience in the prem behind him,shown to be to young for the move over here. who wins in portugal - one team out of two and he managed one of them. klopp don't know him but why would he leave a successful champs league team.
martinez will get the job, because we are going spanish again with the DOF and he fits the bill. i can't wait, his footy is brill, his manners and composure is brill, its going to be brill
