So, to sum up...three days of speculation without any clarity whatsoever on the likely managerial appointment, personnel wise or time wise. Thank you for your contributions.
Time wise they want someone for weekend. Personnel wise they have primary target and are most likely Portugese. Oh, and Baz hasn't commented on Martins after ruling out Corboran.
Looks like Pedro Martins according to the Portuguese press. 4 years at Olympiakos. Good record! BillyBlysPaperboy
Not on about my thoughts or preferences. Wasn't it said that this time we were looking for someone with experience in England and who's appointment would reassure us fans?
Doesn't pretty much every manager of Olympiakos have a good record?!? They win their title most years! Interested in Wolves job.Maybe it's a colour thing?
It’s a shame Acun wasn’t fishing in this pond first time around for a manager rather than taking a chance on a friend. Martins, whilst not having had Championship experience has managed teams in the Europa and Champions League - well out of Arveladze’s league who failed in Turkey, failed in Israel before becoming a winner in Uzbekistan.
It's a pecking order, innit? Wolves get first dibs. Middlesbrough get a call anarl. Any others? Then we can scrape what's left off of the tray bake tin. Way o' the world, y'all. Way o' the world.
Also won the most Champions League games of any Olympiakos manager in their history. Also took 3 separate teams into the Europa League.
Overseas ATM and switching off so not talking to many people, but possible that the new man will be in the crowd at Wigan with formal announcement Thursday
I’ve already had a bet on corboran and carvahal, do I need to have a 3rd bet on this martins guy to get my money back?
What was actually said by Acun is that it was a consideration and preference but not vital as Klopp didn't have experience either.
