Thing is, we just wouldn’t know or probably won’t find out whether or not someone could do a better job because its obvious he’s staying.
If you look at the likes of Sunderland with O’Neill, they have had no extra money and he has improved the results immediately (granted he has a better squad to start off with).
Hodgson last year did the same for West Brom.I’m not saying getting you a new manager guarantees you this, and with top managers unlikely to want to come to a sinking ship it might be hard to get the quality of manager the likes of above.
Looks like we’re stuck with Martinez so we just have to hope and pray he works things round. His philosophy which is well documented relies upon getting young players and giving them the freedom to develop their skills without the usual strict parameters of get rid football. This is going to take time and i just worry if Bob has got the right people in place for this and has enough time to monitor the day to day progress of this because this is where our future hinges.
Just read his autobiography from the time he was at Swansea and he does talk alot of sense but i still believe we are his proving ground.
Realistically are we ever going to be able to attract or produce the quality of player to play Bob’s way???
I don’t know but i’m coming round to the thinking that with the obvious lack of funds we have, this may be our only chance of developing good players. Whether these players will leave for better clubs and we become a feeder club i don’t know.
The job is bigger than Bob though and he needs all the help he can get.
Please do explain where these relegation saving wins are going to come from based on the crap we have seen so far because I for the life of me can only see more stomach knotting debacles on the horizon. 3 wins in 23 and -28 gd.Do we have some ringers i dont know about or are you party to Robbies masterplan stage 6.?
We need 6 points just to get out of the relegation zone without any of the other teams picking a point up – as others have said we have goy 15 points from 23 games so far – we conceed nearly 2 goals a game and score less than one, we have won one game at the DW since May 14th 2011 and that was a fluke against QPR who squandered a host of chances, we play dull boring mistake ridden football with no passion or fight in the team and even less on the sideline.
Other clubs may have “squeeky bums” at the prospect of relegation, but they all know they are fighting for the remaining 2 relegation spots as the bottom one is already earmarked.
If anything , what happened on dealine day should have gained Bob some degree of darkside sympathy. Tried to sign 3 new players , who “probably” would have improved the team , and all 3 turn us down. That’s what we are up against. If that had happened to Bruce or one of the big name saviours that the darkside keep churning out , then those managers would have been off faster than an Italian captain on a sinking ship.Fortunately for us , Bob will take it on the chin and still battle to keep us up – even with one hand tied behind his back.
Indeed well said one opted to talk to Newcastle battling for european spot one to West Ham battling for promotion/League title and one chose to sit on his butt earning more than we could offer

We probably won’t ever be able to attract the best players and whether we can produce them is down to the coaching staff and their ability.
That’s were there may be a problem, our coaching staff are not up to it.
