As bad as Roberto was he was still much better then Silva, and there was reason to go for him, but this current idiot didnt have a worthy CV, id have Martinez back in heartbeat over him, least he got us a great win at Old Trafford, right now SIlvas finest moment was a 0 0 draw at Chelsea

Baring a disaster (and its getting close) Silva needs a bit of time. People go on about how he has failed after 6 months at Watford and Hull, all well and good but maybe he works better under a long term project?

Oh come on mate, Silva is Martinez, Just without the charisma and the one fluke season that was built around a good team that somebody else built.

I'm completely with Dave on this: no way would 'El Maestro' come back to us.

After all, he only ever wangled his way into jobs with clubs who were doing well by their standards, or in our case, recent standards.

Swansea had won promotion, missed out in the play-offs for a second successive promotion, won 3 cups and had 2 trips to Wembley in the two seasons before he took over.

Wigan had finished comfortably in mid-table under those two managerial giants, Paul Jewell and Steve Bruce. The Roberto took over and he soon had them passing their way into the Championship. It's only now that they are showing signs of recovering from this catastrophe.

He left Wigan with the bizarre statement that he "wasn't the right man to bring them back up" and joined us on the back of Moyes' record of seven finishes in eight season of 7th or better, the one exception being when we finished 8th. After a good start we got steadily worse as Roberto's influence grew and the Moyes influence faded. Thank God the Carpetbagger put him out of his misery and sacked him otherwise we'd have almost certainly gone the same way as Wigan.

So there's no way that Roberto would come back to us when we're in such a sorry state. He'll be scouring the leagues looking to inherit a good side from a manager who's gone on to better things.

He wont be back here because Roberto doesn't have to put up with a tin pot bag handler for a Russian gangster.

Why are you talking about Martinez like he was the messiah you absolute biff. He was a MASSIVE failure he and included some of the most crushing performances I can ever remember. That Liverpool match will long stay with me, absolute disgrace.

I don't think he is saying Martinez was the messiah.....in fact quite the reverse....subtle use of irony here. lol

Fantastic. I look forward to his response of calling me a knob - which will be rightly deserved.

Well I agree with your last two sentences in the first quote and, believe me, I've been called a lot worse! :)

The obsession some people (or person to be more pedantic about it) have, over a man who won sweet f all as Everton manager, is a bit weird and absurd if you ask me.

It's an odd one for sure - Roberto Martinez, not your typical target of a Stanning.
To give davek his due, though, he was hugging Blerto's ballsack from absolute day one. There wasn't any let's wait and see how this fella gets on, it was love at first sight IIRC.
 
It's hilarious that people here are still trying to denigrate Martinez.

We're in the gutter and he's a national hero and one of the most well known coaches in the world.

Oh, how we won that one eh lads?! He must be gutted he isn't here being shat on by the Iranian Jesus Gil.

We have been in the gutter since the influence of Moyes has gone.

Just Like Southgate. One got an OBE, the other a free car.
