Mike Walker V Roberto Martinez

[Seathestars]

He is possibly the luckiest man alive to get the job in the first place and then walking away with an enormous pay off for being utter toilet.

Ditto, ditto, ditto


Who was the best dancer?
Never did see Walker dance, I suspect he'd have to go some to match Bobby.

Phil Neville vs. Having Your Knee Smashed In With A Sledgehammer should be the next one.

Sledgehammer for me all day every day.

Crikey, I'd like to see your V for a Niasse thread.

He got the pay out because of his contract , if there is a problem with it then blame those who gave it to him. Would you have said "I'm ok thanks Everton I don't want your money " ?

As for getting the job I think he had a reasonable claim for it , I think you could certainly argue he was lucky to get the Belgium job .

I'm not banging the drum for Martinez , I'm just trying to be honest . I loved the first year , loved it as it felt like a breath of fresh air . What happened afterwards was we went backwards , quickly and it got messy and frankly painful . Nobody enjoyed it , I certainly didn't , it was horrible but I wanted him to succeeed and I enjoyed that first year . When I say lucky I just mean a couple of games we could have won or hung on for results and I think his time here might have been different . We didn't and it wasn't .

I didn't think we did. But I trust you.

We beat Sland for 7 on the bounce putting us fourth and then lost 2-3 to Palace and Arsenal never looked back.

I bet Walker was a demon at the slosh.

You're right, the thread was a mickey take. Martinez was the better Everton manager. IMHO. Just

I'm amazed at how close this is. sure Martinez was terrible, but at least he had one good season lol

 

[deipnosophist]

Martinez drew inspiration from unexpected sources...eg Jason Derulo...
Bobby was phenomenal in so many ways

 

[a bell maul]

Both were equally toilet - like Hitlery and Trump

My own knee, or Phil Neville's knee?

My own knee, or Phil Neville's knee?

Does it matter? The answer is obviously the same regardless.

 

[BlueLlama]

Walker was a joke. Didn't show his face at training most of the time. The players all hated him as he was more interested in his tan thatn tactics.
Bobby was just a one trick pony who had no answers when his tactics were worked out.

Oh and Niasse.

 

[Papa Shango]

Walker would have gnawed his own arm off for players like Barkley, Lukaku and Barry. To fail with players like that to the extent Martinez did is a new level of bad.

Amazed Walker is "winning" this poll.

He had Limpar, Southall, Hinchcliffe, Ferguson (for a bit..), Watson, Cottee who were all good players at the time or players who should have been good if he bothered playing some of them.

Martinez had us in midtable, Walker had us facing certain doom.
