I'm defo converted my attitude changed when Martinez was appointed and got 100% behind him. During pre season I loved the style a play I knew it's going to get better and when it all clicks into place maybe next season there will be more tempo to our play but I'm happy it's a fresh start a whole new look everton who wouldn be happy

Of the rabble that Everton will likely be choosing from, I'd probably go for Martinez. He's managing the smallest, ****test club in the history of the Premier League at a time when their owner's money has dried up. As far as I'm concerned he's doing quite well.

I can't stress enough how much I'd love going to watch an Everton team playing under the guidance of a continental tactician, but I just can't let myself start thinking that my dream appointments are even a remote possibility (Pellegrini, Mazzarri or Emery would represent incredible statements of intent) or else I won't want to renew my season ticket when Kenwright ends up bringing in Dave Jones (I'm convinced he'll be right in the frame).

Now that I've resigned myself to the fact the club won't be put up for sale until Kenwright dies, I'm leaning towards the idea that another long-term appointment is imperative if we're to avoid implosion. Whoever comes in will have to be prepared to accept things like going three years without buying a first team player, which leads me to believe someone like Laudrup isn't a good idea as he'll likely just [Poor language removed], safe in the knowledge that his name alone will guarantee another job quickly enough.

Martinez isn't the Rinus Michels character that some make him out to be, but he does have a positive philosophy and has shown loyalty to a struggling club with an old [Poor language removed] for a chairman. If nothing else I'd say he's well prepared for life at Everton.

I'm sure I'll draw criticism from the Martinez detractors that are prevalent in this thread, but after giving it a lot of thought I don't know what else is realistically out there for Everton at this point. A lower league appointment could work, but unlike Moyes they'd be walking into a dressing filled with accomplished, highly-paid internationals, rather than a gang of crocks who couldn't finish the bleep test, as was the case in 2002.

I think Moyes was fine for us. Remember how we were perennial relegation contenders before he took over. He got us into 4th, almost got us into the CL, and took us to an FA Cup Final. Our 2008 Uefa Cup run was fun while it lasted, too. I think it was the right time for him to go though as he had taken us as far as he could. Davie got us close, but Bobby is the guy to get us over the hump and have us winning trophies again, I reckon.

Hi all,

Please keep all discussion relating to David Moyes' contract in here - including potential replacement discussion.

I've closed the thread from 2008 - it will have caused confusion.

Thanks.
