I don't see that as a con, I don't think the owners have ever got involved in the playing side, and rightly so too, they were all Sven's signings, and you can tell that by the fact he had worked with a large number of them before. Martin demands to be backed financially by the board and allowed to manage the team his way with his staff. That is exactly what the owners let Sven do, and that is why Sven went. They were his players, his team, his formation and his backroom staff which were not good enough despite the owners not because of.

Now please come with some good reasons why we shouldn't get Martin as our manager before we all get over excited and inevitably disappointed.

Neil Warnock

Pros

No manager has ever won as many promotions to the top flight as him. If there is one man guaranteed to get you up it's Neil.

Likeable personality and has said some lovely things about the club in the past

A real character

Cons

There aren't any, he's just amazing.

There aren't any.

He is, even leaving aside the understandable nostalgia, far and away the best candidate available.

Sorry.

Di Matteo
