Thread: Roberto Martinez.....¿Guth or Bath?

    Roberto Martinez.....¿Guth or Bath?

    He's a nice guy who speaks great english and comes across as being an intelligent guy but are there any reasons related to football that might make sense of the fact a lot of people rate him?

    Would not say no to him coming here - obviously as No2 to Slade though.....

    I believe Swansea and their style of football is ultimately down to his work. Managers have continued with his philosophy..

    I have a feeling you knew all of these things anyway.

    I mean, he also got Wigan relegated and appears to be in the process of fecking up Everton. Apart from riding on the momentum generated by Moyes, he has a shite record at premier league level. From 6 season managing in the PL( last season aside) he has a win record of something like 25%.

    Look at Chelsea's route to Wembley - Watford (h), Bradford (h), Sunderland (h), Reading (h).

    Chelsea do have those other titles to fall back on though I suppose.

    If you want to debate whether Martinez is perhaps overrated in the UK that's interesting but your last two posts suggest you've already made up you mind... a la Grangetown with Ashley Williams.

    Look at swansea now. Was it his doing or the setup at the club ?? Current form might suggest the latter.
    I just think that Martinez has been built up as a special manager and I can't see how that has been vindicated in the last 5/6 seasons. It's just a funny one.

    What does Guth or Bath mean?

    Re: Roberto Martinez.....¿Guth or Bath?

    It could certainly be argued he is no better or worse than Brenda Rodgers.
    Aside from Man City, Liverpool have spent more than anyone else and made more funds available than anyone else to the manager and Rodgers still seems absolutely snookered by having a one-man team.
    Last season Suarez, this season Sturridge. For him to have £250 million to spend on a team that cannot cope with one injury is very poor.

    Martinez is at Everton, the team that wants to be a top team but wont pay the price - always doomed to fail there as they wont/cant compete.
