Mike Walker V Roberto Martinez

[Papa Shango]

Martinez for me.

Walker was a crap manager for us sure. our worst ever you could say.

But martinez failed at the basics. so no matter how good elements were it was the basics which relegated one team and nearly destroyed us. and he done it with money to spend. walker didn't have the same resources.

The value of Money has changed in the 20 odd years....

Walker spent money, 2.2M for Samways was a lot at the time, 3M for Amokcahi was a crazy amount.

True. I was a kid then so over my head haha

I loved amokachi though so I can g8ve him a bye for that signing

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.

But...we didn't go down did we ?? El Fraudo if he hadn't have been sacked would have seen to that as he did with Wigan..

When we tonked Arsenal 3-0 and then moved into 4th the next week was the best I've felt about Everton in a very long time.

So yeah...daring to dream and building hope is all part of it.

Martinez all the way for me. would have been a sight being fly on wall with him whispering champions league to kenwright getting him slathering like a puppy

Dave Prentice posed this same question in the Echo back in March

He also signed Limpar and Amokachi, who without we may have not won the FA Cup.

And got Big Dunc in, albeit on loan....

Obv it's Martinez - Walker was miles out of his depth but there's no way he can compete with Bobby's greatest hits: Worst home record since the Venerable Bede was going the game. Brought the entire spine of a relegated Wigan Athletic to Goodison Park - Robles, Alcaraz, McCarthy, Kone. Not to work the turnstiles, but to pull on the royal blue jersey and masquerade as football players. Signed a player who is 13 million times worse than Ali Dia.

Tbf to Walker he was just straightforwardly bad, so was never going to get three years to work up a body count of atrocities like Martinez. Martinez's first year gave him an unusual opportunity in that respect, which he jumped into feet first.

Both were poor but one nearly took us down the other didn't. So Martinez for me

Everton's record breaking PL manager v a man who couldn't win a few games.

Great thread.

Next up: Pep Guardiola v Neil Warnock.

People have enjoyed this thread. Just make your vote and be at peace, it's closer than I thought it was gonna be.

And I do hope that you don't think the gap in quality between PG & NW is similar to the gap between RM & MW

Are you talking about the record points haul in the first season or all the other lifetime records he broke after that??

The latter records don't count as that was the players fault.
