Fair enough, but id rather have martinez over that fat potato headed mercenary any day of the week
though actually, id say 2 of bruce’s leftovers are looking like taking us down. hot rod and fig have been awful week in week out
though actually, id say 2 of bruce’s leftovers are looking like taking us down. hot rod and fig have been awful week in week outHugo is one half of all our attacking options Charlie being the other. Perhaps if Bob plays Sammon up front with Hugo we may see the player that Bruce signed.
:pray: :pray: :pray:playing with two up front wouldn’t suddenly make hot rod a better finisher, although i do agree i would love to see 442 once in awhile. I do get frustrated with martinez tactics sometimes, but what do I/we know about football compared with someone who has been in it the best part of 20 years?
Legolad Bruce was a great manager for us and only left cause Whelan sold his team from under him when we should have qualified for Europe. Bob on the other hand has been Gash but if by some miracle he does turn things round don’t for one minute think he will show loyalty.
Ask Swansea fans how loyal Bob is :shifty: :shifty: :shifty:
I think bob is wigan through and through, but he’s will obviously leave eventually, be it sacked or otherwise.

That team was dropping like a brick towards the end of that last season. And Bruce himself admitted he could not motivate them. AND, in my opinion, the football we played under Bruce was awful, but that’s just my opinion, like.Bob on the other hand has been Gash but if by some miracle he does turn things round don’t for one minute think he will show loyalty.Pure conjecture mate, pure conjecture.
Its all ifs buts & maybes, but I doubt that if Whelan had allowed Bruce to keep hold of Palacios & Heskey until the end of the season & had made public statements that we’d never had a team as good & that we’d keep it together till the summer at least & aim for Europe as opposed to selling those players against the manager’s wishes (that must have been a real kick in the teeth after the public comments Bruce had made), slating your manager’s comments in public, announcing that all our players were up for sale for the right price & that as Latics were now pretty safe, their job for the year had been done, then I doubt that the team would have dropped like a stone as it did
Its a similar situation to under Jewell in the 1st season up when all he banged on about, even when it was obvious we were staying up, was getting to the 40 point mark.
As soon as we hit that mark results tailed off & the desire levels seemed to drop slightly as it was a case of job done
How could Bruce be expected to motivate his players when he himself had had the stuffing knocked out of him & his players had all heard & read the club’s owners telling them that they’d achieved all he wanted em to??Oh & its only my opinion like but the vast majority of football served up under Martinez is awful to watch!!! ;)
not going down and we do care
Third time lucky
We will go down and I care :violin:

As opposed to the wonderful football on show under Bruce…..I actually fell asleep at one game. And I hadn’t had one drink.
The difference is Lego Bruce was a good manager and his flops never looked like getting us relegated.
Mainly because he didn’t play his flops :angry-banghead:

funny how a conversation with Jason at Everton made you change your mind yet again? how many times have you changed your mind now Dave 3,4,5 perhaps 6 maybe 7. :roll:
