My lasting impression of Martinez is him grinning away after we smashed Wigan 9-1.
A wet blanket of a man.

But is currently overachieving in the PL? I'm no fan of Rodgers but he would do a solid job and anyway we are a club who underachieve in every competition we are in. I'm not a fan of him, his personality, not easy to warm too and i think the fans will quickly turn on him if things don't go well
Like a Davinson Sanchez
I genuinely believe if he was managed correctly and encouraged to beef himself up a bit there’s no reason to think his best years aren’t ahead of him
Wasn’t that the same season we beat them 9-1 lol
I also want us to get a manager that can take charge as soon as the season ends. Not a man that first has to work through (and probably go far) in a international tournament.
But it was Wigan
....yes they also got relegated however it was still an achievement to win the FA cup with them. How much would we have loved an Fa cup over the last 30 years. Can you believe 30 years have passed since we won OUR trophy
He should be winning it with the squad he has..... But he won't.
Poch brought Paul Mitchell with him and look how that ended up. Macaulay may come but a couple of years with Levy will have him heading for the hills.
the
a shame we are in 2021
If Levy still believes we have an amazing squad that is underachieving and doesn't need much change then he wil go for experience like Sarri, Allegri, Rodgers or Martinez. If the club really wants to go in a different direction and reduce the age of the squad by promoting and bringing in younger players and being prepared to build again then Levy will look at a Potter or Ten Haag
Agree with this. I have very little faith in my own judgement when it comes to this sort of thing.
Ten Hag is a much better manager than Bosz.
Not saying that I want Martinez, but for the sake of the argument and discussion. We do have some players that would suit his setup based on his world cup 2018 tactics.
Pierre could fill the Witsel role as the ball winning midfielder, with either Lo Celso or Ndombele in the De Bruyne role as the playmaker. Son could play either the Hazard or Mertens role in attack, with Lucas or Bergwijn filling the other role (this is working with out any presumed new players in). Kane obviously fills the central attacking role.
Arguably all of our fullbacks would suit his wingback system except for Ben, who could be moved more permanently into the role of a centreback. With Sessegnon taking the spot behind Reguilon.
The big question marks would be in the 3 at the back. We would need three defenders who are all comfortable on the ball. Toby and Rodon both tick those boxes. Sanchez doesn't have the comfortableness with the ball, but his pace could allow him to play sweeper behind Toby and Joe when they push forward. But we would still probably need to do some changes in the CB department just to freshen things up.
Again, not saying that I want Martinez, I am all in on Potter right now. But if we got him we do have some players that could easily slot into what seems to be his favoured system.

Martinez?
Levy is really trying to lose a fanbase isn't he. Impressive to a point in keeping wigan up for those years, but it was Big Sam football and not what suits our team or club.
But would fit the Levy profile...anolder boring man he can have wine and cheese with

If we could meme links to Potter into existence we can meme Potter into the job as well.
