Flynn, Martinez, Rodgers, Tate, Monk, Rangel, Britton, Trundle and a few more. Great evening at the Liberty, made me feel proud to be a Jack, my friends. ðŸ‘

No they weren't . He'd lost it. Things were falling apart. Poor run of results, terrible games to watch, a squad who wanted to play differently. He was shown the door and he walked through it thankfully. And what happened straight away when RM came in was the most remarkable immediate change in results and playing style.

We nearly got in the playoffs under him, or did you forget that?
It's noticeable that we 'nearly' got promoted from L1 under Jackett but it's laughable Martinez would get us to the prem when he nearly did.
I find this revisionism laughable at times, I think the question should have been would Martinez have kept us in the prem? That I'm not so sure because of his kamikaze approach.

We got in the playoffs under Martinez?? When did that happen?
Martinez would never have got us to the prem, and he knew it.

And who is Lynn Thomas btw
Huw Jenkins' best mate, sits next to him every game. So, respectfully, stop chatting shït because anyone who knows Lyn knows he isn't a bullshït merchant and I could tell he wasn't lying.
Would they have pulled the trigger further down the line, probably. But it hadn't got that far.

That's ridiculous. We finished 8th under Martinez in the championship and the squad he had was only getting better.
Impossible to say 100%, but I'm confident Martinez would have got us up.
I think he did a marvellous job for us, but his defensive total incompetence (which has killed him everywhere since, would never have got us out of the championship, any more than Kenny Jackett's (for different reasons) would have.
Much as i think he's a real snake, I think Martinez was the most significant manager we had in shaping our glory days, and I loved what he did here, but it took someone else to seal the deal, Martinez would never have done it.

You believe Flynn would have got is promoted. He was sacked the season after he kept us up.
Sousa is so over rated? So you don't think losing 40 goals from the season before and having Gonzo bringing in Beattie et al. and fortunately failing to bring Bayo in wasn't an achievement.
Martinez did a very good job but as shown now, without doubt the best manager to me was Brendan. Look at what he did with that squad in the first year. He got a tune out of Luke Moore and Leroy Lita!
This one?

Absolutely mate, spot on.
People were literally upset when he left, now they're trying to pretend he had taken us as far as he could. BS, with a capital B.
talk of him taking us as far as he could, is rubbish. He left because Wigan were in the Premier league and financially Martinez would be set up for life.
Who could blame him ? A great pro during his time at Swansea and it was great to see him back last night.

well i enjoyed booing the snake last night. Lost all my respect when he ripped the heart of our club out when he left and took everyone with him, and then Paulo came in and was handed crap to deal with and still managed to build a solid base for Brend to take over and take us on

I edited that post before you mentioned it, we were goal difference away. That's pretty bloody close.
Yes, I believe he would have got us up but I'm not sure he would have been the man to keep us in the prem. It's all hypothetical anyway.

That was league 1 wasn't it? I agree though, he might have. I don't believe he had that critical defensive steel to do it, but who knows.
Anyway, I think the point stands, Jackett played a big role too, but his time had come. I remember watching us play Scunthorpe at home and thinking, this horse is flogged.

Definitely some revisionism going on re: Jackett and Flynn. If any manger worth their salt could have taken that team up why did they finish tenth under Flynn the previous season a million miles from the playoffs and why was he sacked? Undoubtedly him and Reeves brought in some incredible players for us, but as a manager he wasn't great.
Also complete nonsense that we played dour football under Jackett, the first season at the Liberty we beat Bristol City 7-1, Chesterfield 5-1 and 4-0, Walsall 5-2, won away at the two automatically promoted teams and Forest... as has been said, it was time for him to leave when he did, and what Martinez did afterwards was obviously incredible, but to pass Kenny (and Sousa) off as not having contributed anything is nonsense.
