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

I just wanted to add that I'm sure Rafa will have been spending the last 18 months preparing his new masterplan down to the finest details. He'd have been working on this nearly 24/7, he's refreshed and raring to go.

The next club he goes to will reap the benefits as he hits the ground running. I just hope it's LFC, it would be a scandal if they don't even grant him an interview.

We should also take part blame if Rafa doesn't get it, which is the same reason why Chelski won't give the job to RDM. The owners are scared that such manager would have alot of power because he is idolised by the masses (including players), which would also make it difficult for them if they make decision which will alienate them from the fans.

well i don't think the fans should pick a manager, it wouldn't be good

What next let fans pick the transfers

Of course he'd be given full support but he'd be an unpopular choice to begin with making things very difficult if he didn;t hit the ground running. His small club status mixed with the fact that the fans generally want someone who has done it at a higher level would give us another Hodgson situation I think.

I agree that the fans shouldn't pick a manager but we are the ones who the club need to support him so our opinion should certainly be considered. If the club appointed someone very low down on the fans wishlist it would be a very bad move. That's not to say they should necessarily pick the fans' favourite just because he's their favourite, but the general overview of fan opinion should definitley be taken into consideration. I'm sure this 'think tank' are keeping an eye on fan opinion anyway - they'd be silly not to.

yes but end of the day the owners have pumped money in and i back what they decide

i think these marches in favor of rafa are just silly and counter productive

Jus coz Martinez is flyin over there does not mean he is going to be the next manager!! And I really hope he isn't!! I think it will be AVB myself, BETTER than martinez by a mile who's just scraped past bein relegated for the past 2 or 3 seasons!! Not that I'm sayin that AVB is wondeful, but hell of a lot better than Martinez!! At least AVB has won trophies!

with a team far better than wigan as well. Whose to say how Martinez would have gotten on with Porto or a bigger team.

he could be great he could be bad but success at others clubs doesn't me you will bring it too a new club

AVB learnt that

Wasnt it talked about on here a month or two ago that Rafa was sending scouts out? dont know if it was true or indeed if it has anything to do with LFC?
