I really hope everyone who has ragged on him at least appreciates what a campaign that 2013/2014 season was.

I'm glad he is gone, but geez it's hard not to think back to those times when everything was just perfect.

You changed Roberto, sorry - it's you, not me.

We finished 5th. Everything was clearly not perfect.

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssss

New era starts now

Never a good day when we've had to sack a manager, I wish Roberto all the best. Everyone, the players, the supporters & Roberto himself knew it was over after the derby defeat, if not before. Nobody knows why it was allowed to drag of for this long but we should just draw a line under this now where Martinez is concerned.

Kenwright needs to be first to speak on this and explain his continued backing of him.

Why is the home kit the only news case on the OS?

 

[paulbefc]

I appreciate his attempt to bring us back to the top of English game. It didn't work out and it's for the best he leaves, for both parties.

Can't wait to see what happens now. The off-season where our club changes hugely for the better is about to begin.

This guy would have brought us to ruin and residing in League one if he had his way. The guy deserves no sympathy whatsoever.

Good riddance , enjoy your huge severance package

I've said some terrible things about Martinez, I was also very impatient with him. It's a shame because the thought of what he wanted coinciding with the way he held himself could of been the stuff of dreams, but it's been a nightmare, I'm sorry for how I acted (not that he'll read this) and wish him all the best.

It couldn't have gone any other way today after recent weeks, and capped off with several turgid performances culminating in last night. Deeply disappointed that it hasn't worked out. He was the kind of person you want as custodian of your team from a personable and moral point of view....he clearly got Everton. Unfortunately, his system just was not going to work here, or perhaps even in the Premiership where high-pressing and even the Champions playing the good old-fashioned 4-4-2.

He'll be at Valencia very soon, and maybe that will suit him better.

I sincerely hope some of the gutless wonders who've donned the RBJ this season, Mirallas in particular, feel some shame.

Adios Roberto....good luck for the future.

Now lets concentrate on ours...and very quickly dismiss thoughts of Hughes, O'Neill, Howe, FSW and Pellegrini.

we may challenge for pots, but I think our special character in community issues and in general may well be dissipated going forward...I sincerely hope not.

That's come from Dominic King at the Mail first.

 

[Peter The Dog]

he be happy with his compo.

Thanks Roberto and GL

This really.

There was never going to be a resignation given the compensation involved.

Glad that the board have put him out of his misery and not put him through the wringer for the final match.

Would have liked to have seen him given at least 3 months into next season but the tide of support has turned significantly.

All the best Bobby x

 

[The Cowboy]

Thanks for stubbornly refusing to change your stupid 'philosophy', resulting in match after match of truly appalling footballing, and our better players rapidly heading for the exit.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out, you useless plum.
