I have been defending some of his work, for many months now..but my resolve has crumbled to dust of late. Everytime I see Martinez, who I understand is playing hugely out of position, lacking fitness and his morale must be awful after such a pathetic season...but still, he seems to be able to do nothing whatsoever useful. Nothing. And as I have come to believe that delneri had zero say in transfers, the martinez error seems to loom ever larger on the marotta horizon, as something dark, horrible, a huge error that could and should have been avoided. Motta, rinaudo, traore...can be forgiven. Martinez for 12m, giovinco OUT, Lanza IN without been given a chance OUT again...
what does delneri actually do??? he has no say in which players are bought and sold, does he ick the team?? does he decide the formation? does he decide substitutions?
its absolute fantasy for anyone to believe that running a club in this manner...a competent coach, with a sporting director picking the squad without any input from the coach. If that sporting director has huge finances to play with, immense contacts and a proven history of finding and acquiring talent, then maybe...but this is not the case with delneri and marotta.
average coach with average transfer director, without huge funds, and seemingly without wonderful contacts...although paratici seems useful.
