Let's be honest, if you've had a bet on a given candidate then you tend to push their case and rubbish the rest. I've got money riding on Pereira so Martinez seems a lot worse of an option to me than he probably is.

I've had no bet on any candidate, so can be impartial.

Pereira won 2 consecutive league titles and has lost 1 game in 2 seasons/60 games. People are saying the Portugese league isn't much cop, yet it was Mourinho's & AVB's excelling there that led to English clubs of the calibre of Chelsea and Spurs (AVB had already been at Chelsea, but Spurs went for him based on his Porto success) to sign them up. Neither were put off by the supposed iffy nature of the Portugese league. Pereira also has European experience, getting past the groups stage. Yes he was knocked out by Malaga in the knockout round - is that such a deal breaker? What was Moyes experience in the CL group stage?

Martinez spent 4 years at Wigan. He finished 16th, 16th, 15th and 18th (relegated). The season they finished 15th, they survived on the last day. He has no European experience at all. Yes he won the FA Cup. Who did they beat along the way? Bournemouth (promoted from League 1), Macclesfield (mid-table Conference team), Huddersfield (relegation battling Championship team), Everton (top 6 team), Millwall (relegation battling Championship team), Man City (Prem runners up). 3 lower league teams & 1 non-league team.

Look at it logically. Who has the better credentials for the Everton job, that they can crow about? It's clearly Pereira. The more you look at Martinez, the more you question what exactly the big deal is about him.
 

That Everton are uniteds feeder club.
In 11 years we sold a player who handed in a transfer request, and a manager who left after 11 years of service.
This in my opinion does not constitute the tag of 'feeder club'.
 
ijjy can you believe this thread has 632 pages?

No, a picture was found that was meant to be her (VP's wife), but its not.
Oh well ... no use crying over spilled milk I suppose.

Anyway check this one out (no idea what the caption means):

I would.

Also this appears to be a drawing of what VP did after finding out a club couldn't decide between him and a recently relegated manager:

Surely you'd let them eat the crisps inside as well?!
LOL ... good point. Sure what the hell.

and to be fair, I would say the Executioner's Bong summed up our general approach to the game. But if we're 1-nil up we almost always play the way the mirror described. I think balance between the two is smart, just wish Moyes had gone with high line approach a bit more often
Well if we lead the league in time in the final third/half then he must have done it fairly often. However that's a fair point on how we change when playing with a lead. I just tend to think whomever wrote that Mirror article just watched us against Man U (or another CL team) when we did tend to get more defensive (especially in the first game when we got that early lead) and decided (because most journos don't do critical thought) that must be how we play all the time.
