Paul Spector 0 Posted September 1, 2016 Out of interest...Does anybody know what Ricky Martin actually does at the club anymore?Believe ''Technical Director'' is the official description, which is delightfully vague. I also understand he is part of our Transfer/Recruitment Board - which has failed window after window.I''ve heard that he''s widely disliked and not respected within the game. Yet, he seems to have been the one constant in and around the team here for years and years. Almost as like he has the guarantee of a job for life. In the same way that we seem to create jobs for people, ala Neyul Adams. So, what would be within the remit of the ''Technical Director''? Surely he must be one of those that must be held accountable for the transfer window failure? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,703 Posted September 1, 2016 I too have made the point that I don''t think he''s up to the job. He was appointed because the club wanted continuity and not because he was the best man for the job. It shows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TCCANARY 263 Posted September 1, 2016 If he''s clearly not up to the job it shouldn''t take his new boss too long to work it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,703 Posted September 1, 2016 Hopefully he won''t be involved in recruitment moving forward. The academy seemed to be working well when he was there, but I''m not convinced he''s doing well in his current role. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted September 1, 2016 Why pick on him. I would not give anyone on the board of management team more than 4/10. Martin is a symptom of the system that is there not a cause of the problem. When we do unearth a gem such as lambert they are astute enough to recognise the limitations of the environment and are off when a better offer comes along Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
