Simple Question

Of all transfer targets, who would attract the best possible names with the situation our club is in

Rafa
AVB
Martinez

I really don't want this to turn into another rafa loving or hating thread, but for me the above is a huge huge factor in deciding our next boss (As we don't have champs league football.).
So 1 line answers please, from any of the above 3?

AVB is my choice followed by Martinez and rafa last option

This isn't about who is your favourite choice, please try to answer the question from a neutral perspective.

AVB for me

Rafa has a reputation for getting players backs up.

AVB is too young to command respect.

Martinez? Most players won't have a scoobie who he is.

Probably Rafa, none are ideal.

Caligula - totally understand your point, but i agree, realistically, i think our next boss would be 1 of those 3, i also think that Rafa will attract the best possible names in this situation, so it has to be for me to.

Not that he would be my most preferref choice, soooooo would have been Pep, if only!

Benitez by a million miles. I'm baseing that on what he has acheived in the game over a sustained period of time, coupled with the fact that he has had success and spent time in several different countries. His reputation is worldwide.

The only noteable success on AVB's CV is porto (where EVERY manager wins the league!) and he was only there for 1 year. Jury is still out as to whether he can attract big names to a mid-table club, until he has a bit more experience.

Martinez. Hmmmmm...I guess he could lure some of the players he has managed in the past at swansea and wigan!

I am not sure rafa can attract big names any more than AVB

but i more than Martinez for sure

I wouldnt expect any world class players to be signed for next 2-3 seasons. We will only be signing players who are just making a name for themselves and want to come to England to achieve success so my answer to your question is All 3 would attract the same category of players. Rafa and AVB have damaged there reps with there last jobs and Martinez isnt well known and still learning his Trade. Personally i would give Martinez the Job, I like Rafa but we've seen him crack same with AVB he cracked and lost the dressing room. we need a positive spin someone who commands respect Martinez might be the man... or an old fav Martin O'neil give him a proper job see what he can do.

I would have to say AVB, i thik realistically AVB will have the biggest appeal to players, after that Rafa...as far as Martinez is concerned, I don't think he could attract anyone other than Wigans ex-players...:p
