Re: Football Season 2011/12
Under Kenny we only won a couple more games than Wigan in the league. Having spent quite a significant wedge in the summer and before, that's a pretty damning indictment in what is a results driven business.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
Martinez has been officially approached to talk with the owners.
That would be a very interesting and exciting prospect. It could go either way, he will certainly attempt to get Liverpool playing a more fluid and attacking brand of football and it would suit their fans and heritage well. His record at Wigan is good and while he has detractors who would point to his teams poor form for most of the season it's ultimately about where you end up and he proved he could cope in that situation. It has done it season after season on a very small budget. However it's never an easy call if a manager can make that step up, it's quite different to be expected to win most of your games. Be a very interesting appointment.
That said Liverpool have said they will approach a number of candidates so we'll see. I would feel sorry for Wigan, he showed great loyalty to them but rejecting the Villa job and they returned the favour by refusing to fire him during the season. Class acts on both sides.

Reading the RAWK forums they aren't universally happy with the idea to say the least. Very risky. If they turn on him it won't be pleasant and make it much more difficult.
edit: Actually they seemed to have calmed down since yesterday.

He has no experience of working at a big club and has only narrowly avoided relegation two seasons running. Hodgson had a better CV than Martinez (UEFA cup final, international management) and he wasn't good enough. I know you need to give managers like Martinez a chance, but will he get enough of a chance at Liverpool? I doubt it.

His brand of football and the fact that 'King Kenny' isn't behind him ready to step in may help.

Liverpool have made approaches over at least 4 managers to replace Dalglish. Wigan gave permission for Martinez to speak to #lfc

Sir Alex Ferguson had no PL experience when he took over a huge English club and was repeatedly questioned on whether he was good enough for the first few years so l think Martinez deserves to be given the same chance at Liverpool.

Re: Football Season 2011/12

There is no chance of Benitez being brought back and as l always say never go back to a previous manager as it usually ends in tears.

Roy Keane interested in the Liverpool job...

Really tempted to go for the Liverpool job. Sell Gerrard to Stoke and relegation in my first Season would be a good start.

Somehow I don't think he will be asked

Quite amusing in places
