ScoRoss Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Roberto Martinez? But, why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Martinez by his own admission has the philosophy that he would rather win a game 5-4 than 1-0. He made us insanely good going forward, but his neglect at the back is what caused problems (and led to his sacking). Being 2-1 to West Ham with 10 minutes to go and losing 3-2 because he wanted to score more sums him up, and was the game that made me realise he wasn't going to take us anywhere.

With ten men . Felt like the whole last two years he was in charge at Everton were us just watching that exact game over and over again. Maybe he's improved since he left, it has been about 5 years and as far as I've seen he's done better with Belgium than I expected, so I'm not going to make myself look silly by guaranteeing that he'd be a failure at Spurs, because I think it *could* work, but I will say that it *could* also be disastrous for them. A risky appointment if they go with it but then I don't really know who else is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 His stock will have risen as a result of his success with Belgium. He's found a playing style that's turned a team of individuals in to a team were heavy rotation isn't a concern as everybody can assert the game plan effectively.

Dr. Gonzo Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I'm not sure this would be a good move for Spurs at all, tbh. I always thought Roberto Martinez was a pretty funny manager at Everton. He was ambitious, yes, but he also naive as fuck. Seemed like every time Everton took a step forward, he'd make sure to make sure they also took a step backwards. I thought he essentially undid a lot of the good work that Moyes had done in making Everton a solid and difficult to beat side all in the name of playing attacking football. That he's done pretty decently as the Belgium manager doesn't really surprise me all that much, tbh. Belgium's absolutely loaded with quality players, I think most managers would do pretty decently with them tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Culture Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 You’re only going back if you get guarantees Kane will stay and you’re getting money to sign 4-5 players otherwise, he might as well be looking at jobs elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea league form has been poor last 3 games. Also, lost an FA Cup final to Leicester...don't think he's done a great job, not terrible either They've definitely had some poor results recently and even if they win the CL we all know how Chelsea operate and the time to judge him will be next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUFC Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 He should at least get to the interview stage, request Levy get down and lick his shoes, and then tell them to fuck off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoRoss Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 If he wants out of PSG already, as seems to be insinuated, there is also a club in Madrid that would probably be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I’d be very surprised if he goes back. Isn’t Kane one of the few players who wanted him out? Hardly gonna agree to stay if they bring Poch back in, and if you’re Poch, that said without Kane is a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6666 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Pochettino is massively overrated and not winning the league with PSG is always going to be seen as a big failure but I think PSG will at least give him another season. If not, then I still don't know why he would rejoin Tottenham. Squad isn't going to be as good as when he was there before, and they won't spend big, and they're not in the Champions' League. If he was leaving PSG, then Juventus, Real Madrid, and possibly Man Utd would be possible destinations for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
