KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Martinez To Meet FSG In The Next 36 Hours

Man United and Chelsea do not have the luxury we do in that we have absolutely nothing to lose by appointing Martinez, yes he may be a gamble but given our position and who we have had for our last two managers he could'nt be any worse especialy after Dalglish who was the worst manager we had in about 50 years.

Lets just see what happens and give the feller a fair crack of the whip, he is obviously passionate and wants the position and given what we are led to believe that not many managers do by the amount of so called knock backs we have received of late.

Taking all this Martinez talk at face value, IMO it stands to reason that Martinez gets the job if you think about it. FSG are about to make a decission on the stadium wether to build from scratch or expand Anfield, all this will take a lot of wedge and if we suspect the transfer is not going to be that big that can only mean they are going to try and save a few bob for the stadium issue. So by taking on Martinez and giving him a few quid more than when he was a wigan to spend will keep him happy, whereas if they had a big name coach like Guardiola he would want a bottomless pit of cash coz he sees we have got some sh1te on our books, that would kill off any chance of staring the stadium improvment/building. I don't think he will be under any pressure to get champions league either. Just a gut feeling that's all!!

luxury eh? I think we are poles apart from luxury. We have had a couple of bad years and the longer we stay out of the elite the harder it will be to rebuild and get back. Maybe your happy to take a gamble and settle on mediocrity but I think this is as an important decision for LFC as there has been for last number of decades. As regards to knock backs, what manager in their right mind (especially calibre we've been looking at) would declare an interest knowing that they were unlikely to get it from soundings at anfield. FSG could get high quality if they were prepared to splash a little cash and give some control of transfers but that doesn't look likely

Thats my point, we are mediocrity now so we can afford to gamble, if we get it right Martinez could move us up two places if we get it wrong we may drop two places. I think people on here need to be relistic, we wont be winning leagues anymore and unless something drastic regarding City, United, Chelsea and Arsenal we wont be returning to the top four in the near future. I think Martinez is well worth the gamble, he is young, hungry and wants to make a name for himself in the game, one of the most important things is that he has nothing to do with the Liverpool of old or the boot room which has held us back for years, the quicker the sentiment is drummed out of the Club the more chance we have of moving forward and I think Martinez just might be the man to do it.

When martinez was at Swansea my friend lived right by where they trained. So I went up there climbed a tree shouted out his name, put my thumb up. Got acknowledged. The end

maybe whekan just said that so villa will give them a bigger componsation when he leave wigan for villa?
i think it this theory needs a new thread

what a heart warming story. you ort to turn it into a novel

surely it needed a new thread. you cant put a post about martinez without opening a new thread, doesnt that go against the rules?

He's been photographed with one half of the ownership so I think Whelan was telling the truth this time

well we dont really know that was them do we? whelan could have hired martinez and henry look alikes to make the story look more realistic. we just dont know
