KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum If Looselips Whelan is right.......

and Roberto Martinez has been offered the job BUT.....

turns it down where does that leave us?

Surely we would look like complete mugs if the first choice (Wigan Manager, no less!) refuses then who would actually want to follow that?

A bit embarrassing if you are someone who has more pedigree then RM!

I'm not against RM. I amd beginning to really see his merits but just putting out the what if scenario.

That would just look soooooooooooo bad! Can;t believe FSG haven't put some secrecy promises/expectancy on RM and his (current) boss!

YNWA

where woukd it leave the mouth of north england more like ,
no embarrasemenr for lfc- its also about the role in the club

It would leave us with a chance

A chance to go back to Rodgers (quietly) and ask him to reconsider. We should have done this in the first place.

Prefer Martinez to Rodgers.

Everyone knows RM started the Swansea 'Project'. He bought a lot of those players in and got the sexy possession football they use, started.

Plus he has history in getting Swansea up from League 1 to the Championship.

Rodgers has done alright but hardly see that he has done much more than RM.

If anything Paul Lambert has done better than both as her inerited a poor squad in League won, transformed Norwich and got back to back AUTOMATIC promotions!

If martinez turns it down.... Which is highly doubtful by the way.

It would leave us with hope. The hope that we'll appoint someone who is not only respected but also has Klout!

Who on earth would sign for Martinez?

PLenty of people would sign for RM. Why would they not? It's Liverpool that would attract them.

And the 'project' can be sold to a players.

We're all carrying on like we are not better than 8th place! We are better than that.

I bet Martinez and all of the other managers last season wouldn't have spunked 35M on Carroll so I'm sure with a bit of tweaking, a new direction and a few new, hungry, talented players we can rise up and challenger Spurs/Arsenal/Chelsea and if they are still there, Newcastle, for 3rd/4th.

Really don't see why not!

Me

I think the fact that he is Spanish would mean he would hold a lot of sway woth Spanish based players and let's face it, that is the pool of players with South America that we should be plundering for new and exciting or existing talent!

Good point - if you ask 'who would sign for dalglish'
well any ex fat balding ex footballer would, or stewart downing and charlie adam. Wasnt exactly a player magnet. Its the club that draws the players to lfc
