All I said was I was off down the bookies IF this scenario happens, you were the one throwing insults about the place. I know we arent getting Rafa, but Villa will love him. If we get Martinez I will be underwhelmed and plssed at FSG, NOT at Rob. I wont stop supporting the TEAM I LOVE!

if you love us that much why write us of saying that aston villa would finish above us . . . no man is bigger than the club

Far as I'm told, #lfc have been planning on approaching Villas Boas since he confirmed interest. Surprised if they don't go through with it.

Its clearly going to be Martinez.

RorySmithTimes: Liverpool have not made Roberto Martinez a formal offer.

Well i get the impression from what Whelan was saying that the offer was more 'informal' rather than financial package etc offered.

My guess is that FSG have outlined the role and Martinez is considering whether he's interested in principle, not that we've offered it to him. I still think we're talking to other candidates.
We are talking to others for sure, but I bet will happen:
My prediction - they will find the DoF/Manager duo they like and present them together as a team.

There was no doubt in my mind that Roberto would charm the bollocks off John Henry in an interview. He was never going to fuck it up and be out of the running.

I'd be really surprised if this was it
Not only have they stated they want to interview several candidates - when they had to appoint a new Red Sox manager they were ludicrously indecisive
Coupled with this you've got Ayre blithering on about it being sorted by preseason training camp (in 6 weeks) - I think this will drag on

Could be, they'll be waiting for next Thursday to announce the DoF and the manager at the same time I suppose (all the announcements come on Thursdays these days it seems).

Seemed like it was going to be Martinez from day one. Who else has actually been approached properly with the prospect of an interview ? Who else seems as though a large effort has been made to get them in the way it was for Martinez ? The one consistent name through this whole thing has been Martinez, don't think all this 'they fooled everyone' stuff is justified as many have called for a long time that it's only headed one way.

You dont need to worry mate, its my money going down the drain if I'm wrong. Its all about opinions, I have mine, you have yours.

I'd be surprised if we keep some of those players if Martinez gets it though, just an opinion!

Out of interest were do you see us finishing next season , with Martinez in control? I think we would be between 10th and 6th to be honest.

Were do you think Rafa could get Villa to? I think he could get top half, between 10th and 6th to be honest.

Thats were my betting mind is coming from!

Would they really offer Martinez a job without having a DoF/SD in place? What's the point in hiring a manager first then DoF type role after? You've already undermined his role then.

Think people think. Whelan might be a twat but he's a clever conniving twat. I believe the reason he keeps running to the press is he is hoping to provoke a public backlash to Martinez from LFC fans......which will make Roberto run lovingly back into his arms.
