Martinez for Celtic

I think we will be going for Jason Scotland as well.

 

The board have an absolute nightmare here in realistically appointing someone (albeit by their own doing).

I'm struggling to keep up with the names, but a few of the managers mentioned I know very very little about short of little media articles I've been trying to catch up on. I only know Mowbray from Hibs, I know nothing of Coyle (who the BBC had basically decided had the job in the bag) and nothing of Martinez.

All of the managers in the frame (so far) are inexperienced at title-challening level and Champions League Level.. well apart from Rijkaard but he's surely not a possibility. Saying that Bilic has experienced of picking a team from an almost unchangeable squad of a mix of fairly average and top top players, in an environment where they were underdogs. He's had great results with it, but the first Croatia 11 is pretty * good.

I feel a rare bit of pity for the board.

 

Only mentioned it because we had been linked with Gomez before, and now we are linked with Martinez i thought it would be likely he would go back for some of his more successful players at Swansea

Smart *

 

At the end of the day Martinez could also interest Wigan who he once played for....I read he has a good relationship with there owner.....They will be looking for someone now that Bruce's move is almost finalised. Wigan could interest him if he sees his career as being in the EP. Just a thought.

 

yeah i've said before that just because we've asked to speak to him doesn't mean he's gonna want the job

 

I have followed Swansea a little bit as I've made a bit of money betting on them during the last couple of years.

Martinzez is young, successful, and his sides play football the Celtic Way.

What's no' tae like?

 

his last name aint Bilic.

 

I was watching sky sports news and when they announced bruce would be talking to sunderland 10 minutes later the celtic approach for martinez was headlined...your thoughts are spot on and if he does decide to go to wigan over us i fear the worst...enter mcghee and levien as the next approaches

 

isnt martinez the same age as lennon? and younger than weir? if thats true hes not experienced enuf yet, IMO

 

like pep guardiola aint experienced enough???

 

exactly, just what i was going to say

 

I dont mind a very young manager as long as they have had the experience of top flight football.

I dont know how Martinez could get us through the CL qualifiers when he's never experienced such a level.....ever!

 

Leonardo


new A.C Milan manager.

0 Management experience.

 

look at the team he inherited, theres a big difference between that and wot weve got. but i can see your point

 

I think there's too much made of the Cult of the Manager. Ultimately, they're a figurehead on which to heap blame, if things aren't going well. I'll judge him on his signings and what he can get out of the existing squad, if he is named.

 

It has been on STV that we have made an approach.

 

I see your point too gary,,every league (pretty much) has two clubs bigger than the rest in our case us and the huns and we have the best sqaud of players imo,we just need a manager who is capable of getting the best out of them..Imo a managers experience does not garuantee success,, plg being the prime example..I really believe that roberto martinez is destined for the top and only time will tell,,he is a gamble im willing to take more so than an journeyman manager..

 

Well if he is to be the next manager we won't find out till the end of the week as he's on holiday in ibiza till midweek.

 

cheers for posting that mate. found it very interesting.

 

i'm sure the press will be scrambling to get over and ruin his holiday by continually asking him what he's gonna do.
