KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Martinez flies to Boston

What's with the owners and Boston and candidates flying out or getting sacked. Most of their candidates are in Europe and Briton. Shouldn't they be in Merseyside? Anyway, Kenny flew there to get the sack and Martinez will probably get the job. We're fcked.

i thimk kenny chose to go. as for martinez, he was asked it would seem. very ominous.

I aint with that lot, never you mind

I said it ages ago, this summer was going to define FSG and show us just how serious they are. They sacked Kenny after he took it to them, the vast majority of supporters wanted him to stay for another season. So it ended up being, not just the transfer window that was going to show how serious they are, but the new manager appointment also.

Believe me, I've taken it into account Kop, some of our previous managers rose from the concrete and blossomed, I understand that. But this isn't an appointment to take massive risks, and we are not rock bottom.

This is an appointment to justify why they sacked the last manager and most of all to show the world where they want to go and just how serious they are.

I'll say it again.....Sack Kenny for Roberto Martinez?????

Everyone has to start somewhere. Martinez turns 39 in July and has never managed a big club. When Benitez was 39 he was at Extremadura where he won 40% of his managed games before he left. When Mourinho was 39 he was at Porto. I like a young, hungry candidate who hasn't had a chance yet just as much as a big name, if not more.

I wanted Rodgers for a lot of the same reasons that Martinez intrigues me. A fresh face with new ideas may indeed be just the ticket because the big name who is going to cost all kinds of money might not necessarily be plausible.

Yes exactly, no excuses. A proven world class manager to justify the sacking of Kenny, somebody everybody can get behind as one.

That man is Guardiola, but it appears he is a man on his word.

I still class Rafa and AVB as world class, but if they appoint Martinez, fair enough....but why sack Kenny then?

It doesn't add up, n' i aint no fool! n' I aint gettin on no plane!

No but I think people would understand a Villas Boas or a Rafa more than Martinez, don't you?

Unless they planned to sack Kenny a long time a go and already picked out Martinez and this is all a big stunt, which may backfire considering our fans aren't quiet about their opinions

Precisely. The question begs an answer.

It could be for the Tv show, they need somebody which is good with the media

Kenny had held various meetings with the owners and obviously the performances were not happening in the league. But maybe in these meetings Kenny wasn't providing the owners with confidence that he had a plan to turn things around and make us great in the league again.

That is why they are now holding interviews where these managers will be selling themselves with a plan on how to make us great. The winner gets the job and us fans to back them. If it is Martinez then so be it and i will give him 2 years to prove himself.

I know kenny didn't get 2 years but he nearly did and funny how with the old team he done really well, with the players he brought it we played worse.
