Haha, and a proper Evertonian to boot.

Yeah, proper Evertonian who frigged off in a huff and came crawling back, and the proper Evertonian working with Dalglish to prise Rooney away to United.

Proper Evertonian Stubbsy.

Alan Stubbs in an interview with the Liverpool Echo spoke about what it was like working with Martinez when he was managing the u21's.This quote stood out for me.

That bit in bold really does expose Roberto Martinez as a clueless fraud who resented any member of the coaching staff offering different opinions.Instead of taking the advice he was being given on board he would ignore it because it was hurting his massive ego.Great dig by Stubbs that.Don't ask for an opinion if the answer isn't to your liking.Going by what Alan Stubb is saying Martinez would keep the yes men on his coaching staff close to him and isolate people like Stubbs who would contradict him on footballing matters.Out of sight and out of mind as they say.

Yeah, why didn't you take Stubby's advice Roberto....the lad sacked by Rotherham for taking them to bottom of the Championship?

Lol to infinity.

So happy this walnut-headed fruit isn't leading us into the Championship.

Post season one, he wanted nothing to do with the Youths because his revamp was utterly clueless and universally hated. Under 20's coaches working with the Under 14s once every few weeks? Dreadful idea.

This point will no doubt be argued and be asked for source material to back it up, but it is in fact, shockingly enough for this thread, the truth.

Did he give young players a chance? Yeah and he spoke highly of a few. Never seemed to get a real chance though. Hmm, Ty Browning anyone?

He went back to it again, especially late in his tenure once he was clinging for anything to keep him in a job. Sending out kids as deflection shields at Goodison? Coward.

I dont care what he did at Southampton.

Mike Walker had a track record at Norwich.

So far, Koeman is alright with me though. I wont be ordaining him the next messiah just yet though.

Yeah but Martinez was a messiah in some peoples eyes.Despite having us finishing closer to the relegation zone than the european places in the past two seasons.Is Koeman the new messiah?Time will tell.What is non negotiable though is the fact that he is a massive improvement and upgrade on the hapless buffoon that he replaced.

That's not actually true...

6 is closer to 11 than 18.

He had us 13th, so it is technically true.

He said finishing closer. We didnt finish 13th.

Then he didn't "finish" anywhere that season, because he was sacked in 13th and another manager won the final game.

After his first season, Martinez looked like he was going to be ace. I will now wait at least 2 seasons before ever judging an Everton manager again.

Yeah. Go Stubbsy. Thanks to you and your mate King Kenny for stripping out Rooney for Man Utd's benefit.

No wonder hes only getting paid 750k a year, when was the last time this fella actually managed?

Yup

The problem was some people married themselves to him at that point and when the wheels came off in the second season they rushed to defend him in an almost cultish manner, shouting down any and all criticism no matter how valid

I bet we'll see the same from #TeamRonk if next season is a bit pish too

That's what we do on GOT. We build up idols and then defend those idols to avoid the cardinal sin of being wrong on the internet

This is why @chicoazul always sits on the fence
