Regardless of what he does in Belgium he will forever be seen as a failure in the most popular league in world football.
Martinez says he accepts results were not good enough to keep him in a job given the short-term demands of the modern game, but added: "I will always treasure my memories as an Everton manager - reaching the Europa League, getting 72 points, and then last campaign we were so so close to getting to the finals of both domestic cups.

Tbf he never said the new level was higher than the old level. He's a spin doctor and a great Wham chatter."I still get satisfaction with our long-term project that we had in hand, seeing players that we invested in heavily, giving them big roles like the level of investment in young players like John Stones, Ross Barkley and Romelu Lukaku, that they have taken the football club to a different level."
To 11th you bad divvy. He's still to make out like he somehow had a hand in taking the club forwards, he is one deluded bell.
Not by his Bank Manager he won't.Regardless of what he does in Belgium he will forever be seen as a failure in the most popular league in world football.
How is he a bell? He has never spoke bad of our club. Ok it didn't work out,but he gave us an amazing first season and gave me belief back when hr stood up to Chelsea, mourinho, and united over transfers
And the parting gift of turning stones into a £50m defender....
What a guy
Long article on him in today's SundayTimes sport section. Headlined: "I lost my job at Everton because we didnt win enough games. I can only blame myself".
Liked this bit:
"I embraced that Everton means fighting for silverware & Europe. I never hid from that. In the first season we had 72 points, close to the top four. Second year we were the last [British] team to be knocked out of Europe. Third, we played some of the best football yet but at home gifted points. But we got to two [domestic] semi-finals and lost both by small margins."
Should have stopped at the first sentence and passed that snippet on to Ronnie
