Confirmed: Martinez New Everton Manager - All Reaction Here

[Toffe3m4n]

If he is as "highly rated" as some make him out to be then he should have taken that Wigan side and kicked on up the league, not have them fending off relegation for four years in a row before it eventually happened, even with that FA Cup run. You can't even say "he didn't have the money/backing" because throughout the time he was there he already had the players to stay in the league at least.

Attractive football is great, but not when you have a 25% win ratio. That should ring the alarm bells in it's own right, scary statistic that.

He played attractive football with Swansea & got them promoted!

He's managed at more than one club you know...

There are a few managers about who can do it at that level but just can't cut it in the PL.

In my opinion he is one of them.

How do you work that one out?

It's Prem records that I'm concerned about. We're not exactly talking about Moyes here.

 

[Great Dane]

I'm happy.

We have a good defence with good defensive coaches. Moyes' weakness was out attack, and Martinez can sort that out, honestly expect Martinez to get more out of this team than Moyes did.

Can't wait to see how Martinez deals with the Baines/Pienaar partnership or the Coleman/Mirallas partnership. Can't wait to see what he can get out of Jelavic, or if he will play Barkley and Duffy abit more.

Could not agree more.

Also I have no problem with him bringing Wigan players into the club.

You are wasting your time here mate, they won't listen. Just sit back and see if Martinez is up for the job. If not, we can come back and moan (and of course I fear he may sign some crap players this summer).

 

[Groucho]

I feel we should give him a chance.

He very well may produce the attractive football we want, and with a better defence we may press on. Give the bloke a chance. Who honestly was happy with Moyes 11 years ago?

Obviously!!
