I hope we interview Ian Holloway now too.

I think he'd be a decent shout.

I think he'd be good in the same way that, forgive me, Hodgson wasn't. Martinez's brand of football suits a big club like Liverpool who have the ability and confidence to dominate, while you could argue Hodgson's suited a smaller club with more limited talent and resources.

Martinez wouldn't be my first choice, but I can see the potential.

Some sense finally.

My hope is that they're doing this so openly to show that the manager position is in demand, and that we'd welcome good candidates putting themselves in the frame

Forward thinking coach but I was hoping for a bigger name to pop up.

lfc786 · « **Reply #125 on:** May 17, 2012, 06:17:16 PM »

well he hates whiskey nose so thats a bonus right?

HarleyKewell7 · « **Reply #126 on:** May 17, 2012, 06:17:18 PM »

Think he'll be one of many interviewed to be honest, not a huge surprise.

Some outrageous comments in here though.

Tony Evans ‏@TonyEvansTimes

Getting very strong indications that it won't be Luís André de Pina Cabral e Villas-Boas for LFC. And, unfortunately, it won't be Rafa

Why do people keep quoting Tony Evans off twitter? He knows fuck all.

Tony Barrett on the other hand....knows a little but not much more. Don't believe anything the journos say at the minute IMO.

Harsh on Roy that.

Red Sox · « **Reply #129 on:** May 17, 2012, 06:17:25 PM »

if he gets the job, we'll all get behind him.
I prefer him to Luís André de Pina Cabral e Villas-Boas.

thekremlin · « **Reply #130 on:** May 17, 2012, 06:17:29 PM »

One thing's for certain, whoever it is, we'd better get behind him 'cos we can't have another manager getting sacked in a year's time. This is the big one, they need to get it right and we have to support it.

Things could turn pretty nasty for FSG I think.

BigRed100 · « **Reply #132 on:** May 17, 2012, 06:17:50 PM »

Fuck. Me. Pink. WTF? I've no problem with going through the proper due diligence and interviewing a number of candidates but if this is the calibre of manager FSG are considering then we're in trouble. Luís André de Pina Cabral e Villas-Boas would be a better choice than Martinez, at least he has some pedigree to speak of. Flavour of the month appointment, Hodgson-esque 100%. I know we're putting the cart before the horse here and he's miles away from getting the job. But here's the rub - IF (and it is a big "if" at the minute) he gets the job then he damned well better hit the fucking ground running or we'll be left with a similar scenario as the one with Hodgson. Fuck Fuck Fuck. This makes no sense to me at all.

krispy.red · « **Reply #133 on:** May 17, 2012, 06:17:58 PM »

Maybe they've heard some good things about him from people they respect and want to see what he's all about? Talk about over reaction on here.

In demand from managers who manage teams who just avoid relegation?

lionel_messias · « **Reply #136 on:** May 17, 2012, 06:18:08 PM »

Well let's wait and see, it is only an interview. No need to kill ourselves or burn the internet just yet.

pgh · « **Reply #137 on:** May 17, 2012, 06:18:13 PM »

who is the football man at the club now that knows who is a good manager or not, we dont have anyone still at the club qualified to make a knowledgable decision about this? who is advising?

Scarlet` · « **Reply #138 on:** May 17, 2012, 06:18:27 PM »

I'd rather the Swansea manager before him... *sigh*

Golyo · « **Reply #139 on:** May 17, 2012, 06:18:39 PM »

Who is doing the interview on Liverpool's part? Ayre? Surely it would be the task of the DoF, no? Appointing a manager before finding the new DoF seems like a mistake.

Kage · « **Reply #140 on:** May 17, 2012, 06:18:41 PM »

It would be prudent to at least speak to a number of candidates. I will wait to see who is appointed before making comment on the appointment.

Max999 · « **Reply #141 on:** May 17, 2012, 06:18:41 PM »

One of my main concerns with hiring someone like Martinez is that without CL football a big name manager may be necessary in order to attract the higher quality players. That's before I even get into my concerns as to his ability to manage a club like Liverpool Football Club.

No just want things done our way even if it takes a while. Forcing a manager out and owners maybe the price to pay but we deserve better.

The same people who probably told them sacking Kenny was a good idea and hiring Comolli is a good idea. The only decision they have gotten right so far is hiring Kenny.

The quote came from Whelan didn't it? Not FSG so I don't think there's a tactic here from FSG at all.

WhiteHeat · « **Reply #151 on:** May 17, 2012, 06:19:42 PM »

Hmmmmm. Plenty to ponder.

His style of football will take him far higher than the likes of Hodgson who have a ceiling.

The real question is who is doing the interview?

FSG? Ayres? Purslow?

Do any of them even know what they should be asking for, in an interview?

Now that is an interesting question considering all the decisions that need to be taken around the club. Having said that, suppose it will be these elusive advisers, the owners keep going on about it. Let's hope they are good ones who know what makes a good manager.

Serbian Red · « **Reply #153 on:** May 17, 2012, 06:19:54 PM »

I was really hoping it's not Martinez. With managers like Villas Boas and Benitez available I was hoping we would at least speak to them first. But if he is appointed, he will have my full support. It just seems like we are going further more downhill.

gatcliffe · « **Reply #154 on:** May 17, 2012, 06:19:56 PM »

FSG obviously wanting us to be in a relegation battle next season then.

KH - you talk a lot of sense and I agree sacking Kenny was wrong but you would support Martinez IF he is appointed?
