Martinez is more likely to go to Villa, and so he should.
Rijkard, for the love of god no!!!
Mourinho, as above.
Football has changed and the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal or the melon farmers aren’t going to appoint the someone like Rodgers, Martinez etc as there is too much at stake should it not work out, with the exception of Benitez’ last season we were a guaranteed top 4 club, now with a couple of seasons of bad decisions we have now an enormous amount of ground to make up. Chelsea took a gamble on a bright young prospect and look how that turned out.
There is far to much to lose in terms of being cast adrift from the top 4 to allow a couple of seasons for a young manager to get established so I doubt there’ll be another AVB appointment for a long time.
Ferguson was given a long bedding in period which eventually paid off, however there was no champions league qualification back then. Had that been the situation back then, he’d have been out the door guaranteed.
