Confirmed: Martinez New Everton Manager - All Reaction Here

[hktoffee]

Kenwright mentioned too much on Moyes in the conference, he is gone.

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

So you basically wanted him to lie then?

Exactly, he'd have been laughed at for saying that.

Can't understand all the negative comments regarding the Club, Chairman & the new Manager, is there any mature forum users on here that wish to discuss today's good news and excitement about the new season?

Who does his dad support, and whose style does he like. Someone get a youtube clip of him, is he any good on football manager, how are his knees?

Martinez: "It is a common assumption that managers will go back for former players, but it's a global market."
Suggests he won't be trying to buy any Wigan players.

Good decision.

He basically said "Martinez is quite turd compared to Moyes but oh well, he'll do".

He's a bell of the highest order, he really is. If he's not sold on Martinez, how can anyone expect the fans to be.

I'm hoping I just don't understand the British wit here, why would you slight your new manager by saying he was harder to choose than the old one (even if it is only by 15 seconds.)

I haven't watched the conference yet, just read the summary on the OS, did any possibly defining quotes on par with "the people's club" come out of it?

I wanted Martinez to say "I'll get EFC challenging for the Premier League"

Underwhelming tbh

Oh and Kenwright, stop talking about Moyes! Forget him! It's like going on a first date and talking about your ex all night.

I HATE KENWRIGHT. HE'S AN EMBARRASSMENT!!!!

FFS BILL. Why are you even at the press conference? Adds no value.

 

[toffee-boy]

Hmm be interesting to see who we go in for ... I would rather felli goes than bains ... I dont see us missing felli that much .. and how much is a few quid after we just spent 2m+ for marty

I liked the way he tagged us a 'phenomenal and passionate' club

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Kenwright was extremely embarrassing in that press conference.

Must have mentioned Moyes about seven or eight times, including admitting he wasn't as convinced by Martinez at first as he was with Moyes. Laughable!

Then a bare-faced lie that he'll put his hand in his pocket and won't sell our best players!

Sorry, I can't stand kenwright, but giving the manager transfer funds THIS particular summer does not necessarily have anything to do with putting his hand in his pocket or selling players.

Martinez is asked about taking Everton into the Champions League. He replies by saying he is confident he can but it will take time.

Be realistic remember Moyes comments about going into a gunfight with a knife v united away - short memories me thinks - to say a top 4 position on our budget that would be magnificent - get behind Roberto the sh*** over the park only have his apprentice in Brenda! all his background staff are coming including the chief scout who is A1 in seeking top forien players for peanuts!

 

[Big Fat Sam]

I won't cry if Fellaini goes, especially not for 25m, although I think we'll get 20m tops for him.

If Martinez was given ALL of the money - knowing it's incredibly unlikely he'll be given transfer funds otherwise - then I hope that is the player we sell.

20m would see him sign as least two decent players (10m striker, 7/8m Fellaini replacement), and hopefully one up-and-coming player too.

Makes sense.

Kopites chiming in with the same old sh*te reckoning we'll be fighting relegation next season..

This is the same lot who prefered Martinez to Rodgers this time last year!
