Funnily enough, they did one season in 2014...........

Guess who was their coach when they finished ahead of us?

Oh no!
 
If it's Martinez we're doomed

The nice thing about if it is Martinez is that it will take away any hope I had in this team so there will be no disappointment when we finish 12th, I won't be angry when we don't sign anyone (because I won't care) and when Kane goes it won't hurt as much because we will suck anyways.

Probably the best case honestly because with someone like Poch, Ten Hag, Conte I will be dumb enough to think we can compete and really let down when Levy brings in Martial, Andersen, Lingard and James Collins as our big signings this summer after selling Kane.
 
Anyone know anything about him.
Any good?
Did a read up on him a few days ago when I saw him linked with us. Have a look at the Juventus fan forums if you have the time, they were somewhat happy with him for a while but ultimately ended up displeased with the job he's done.

Brought in some good players (Chiesa, De Ligt, Kulusevski, McKennie) .. gave massive contracts to players not worth them (Ramsey, Rabiot). Pirlo can't go down as a successful managerial appointment. Brought in Alvaro Morata and Arthur, yuck. Left Juventus with an unbalanced squad, generally weak in midfield and at full back. I can't say I'm blown away, but if he's paired with Conte for a two year stint, who knows?
 
I can't imagine us hiring him without brining in Conte but he has spent most of his career under Marotta and Juve seemed to get worse, and Inter better, when Marotta left Juve to Inter and Paratici took over so that is not a great sign.

He is better than Hitchen, but that isn't saying much, so there is that but it seems more likely that he would come in with Conte rather than on his own. If he is coming in without Conte I would want to know why we went with him and not someone like Rangnick or Campos who seem to have better track records.

Thanks guys
 
I love watching these guys crash and burn
Same.

People living in their parent's houses, spending all day reading other idiots tweets and studying the best of Mystic Meg before squeezing out their carefully crafted dollop of horseshit.

They have started creating networks of accounts that comment on their own tweets to say "How does this guy always get it right???!" and "I reckon this dude is magic, he can see the very future!".

Utter fucking morons, living rent-free in people's heads. Only fun is watching them wriggle and squirm. It's one way to get that dopamine fix, though.... I might try it myself.

Here's my get-out-of-jail-free cards:

"We're as disappointed as you are, just couldn't work out the legals. Boardroom is very quiet right now."

"This is just Part 1."

"It's complex, but we'd have been doing the goons a favour. Explain later."

"Haha, classic Levy! He's a bald Tommy Cooper!"
