KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Roberto Martinez is not our new Manager

I think Wigan would still hold a press confrence regardless of him staying or joining us. I would not be suprised if Martinez attends it to say goodbye and thankyou etc. He has a good relationship with the club and fans.

The only thing this press confrence means for sure is we will know which way it has gone by the end of tuesday.

If he doesnt take it then this may explain the sudden uplift in Rodgers stories coming back out despite turning the job down.

i wonder if martinez is not chosen, what will be your nick be?

rogersmuststay?

Avbmust stay?

gaalmuststay?

it could be that van gaal has said he wants total control or nothing,in which case he might be the reason why Martinez hasnt got the nod.

Maybe a plain "Stay_away_ffs"?

Hopefully, complete control is the best way, and I would be over joyed if Van Gaal is appointed

I don't understand why Whelan is getting so much criticism. As far as I know he had a telephone conversation with a reporter or Media outlet where he answered the questions very honestly and forthright with how he saw the situation in regard his manager, a man he knows very well.

It's a refreshing change to hear an old skool chairman completely unbothered by any PC bullsh*t and oh the brand the brand, give his analysis.

His statement in regard FSG their quite obvious ignorance of the English game and how managers are appointed here was also interesting.

Well said Top4. It only takes 1 or 2 militant types to start having a go at someone not connected to the club, and all of a sudden it snowballs into a hate campaign. There seems to be a growing number of people on here that can't think for themselves. From what I can see, Whelan hasn't done a thing wrong. If anything, he should be applauded for keeping Wigan fans in the loop as to what is going on. If LFC fans ever want to know anything we get the old "behind closed doors- its the anfield way" bullsh!t. That is a myth and has never been the case. And in the modern day and age with news/gossip spreading worldwide within minutes and agents getting involved, we'd never be able to keep anything under wraps anyway. I can only recall 2 occasions where the club has surprised me with a bit of news that wasn't common knowledge/gossip:

1) when we rafa signed robbie fowler
2) when houllier signed anelka on loan

Other than, everything seems to go through the media mill in exactly the same way as it does with any other club.

something must happen this week i feel, don't want to wait till the euros start surly

Whelan is a idiot

This is the same man who said that racism on the field is ok and should be left on the field.

and again this idiot said that Marlon King should never ever play professional football again after his conviction for slapping a female. but on the other hand Lee Hughes should be forgiven after his hit and run murder.

RACIST AND AN IDIOT

MY OPINION NOT KOPTALKS MAY I ADD.
