These suggestions are getting worse.

Lets all stomp are feet, maybe we can get him out so a powerhouse of football management like Fat Sam or Steve Mclaren can come in

I'm not being confrontational here Groucho, but for me (and I think I echo the thoughts of many other Evertonians) Roberto is already our 'saviour'. The football we played the last couple of decades has been borderline shameful to me. I'd never feel ashamed of Everton, but the football was an embarrassment most of the time. We'd been consigned to the 'long ball' club category and forgotten about...and to be quite honest, I wouldn't have blamed neutrals switching off their tvs by the millions if we'd have been a live game on the telly. But now we play in our own traditions again. We're back with a bang as one of the best (probably the best) football teams in this league. He's done that far more quickly than I ever anticipated.

My first posts concerning RM when he arrived were that he'd face his biggest fight not on the pitch but off it. I knew that the culture had to be changed and that it'd be a mammoth battle given the direct approach that previous managers, especially Moyes, had adopted and which many of our support had been weaned upon. Sadly, that was bang on the money. He's struggled to win the PR war in the media where Moyes' old mates have had it in for him since the day he arrived and he's had to face down the element of our support who seem to think launching the ball quickly from the back is the right (Everton) way of doing things.

So whatever he does and whatever happens from this point on, at the very least Martinez has dragged this club back to its own traditions and struggled to change the culture of the club.

This thread's for people to talk about who they might want in charge if Martinez isn't. While I agree with a lot of what you said there, it's not for eulogies praising what he's done

On that note what has he done apart from take us backwards,how can any supporter be happy with that
 
He is average.
We need someone better than hughes.
I love the argument the martinez worshippers go with that there is nobody better in the world to do a better job than him with this great squad we have priceless
Just to confirm though...

He's not 'dire'?
