Moyes Potential Replacement

[Greek Fisherman]

Martinez wanted to leave. I knew this was coming - Whelan

To be honest i would quite like martinez but for the people who don't want him everyone needs to give him a chance and get behind him from the start.

Quick question to anyone who knows...

If he has resigned, that means no compo yeah?

Let me pull two quotes of of Twitter:

Dave Whelan: "Everton asked for permission to speak to Roberto last Thursday. I told them to wait until I had spoken to Roberto today."

Dave Whelan: "Roberto still had 12 months remaining on his contract and that will need buying out."

That means Martinez wasn't part of the interviews conducted with the external candidates then? Then I reckon it's still far from certain that he'll join us for sure.

Oh, and we don't have money to buy him out. Use the 5 mil to get a decent 2nd keeper if Mucha leaves to Slovenia ffs.

Ah well......

Dave Whelan on talksport now...

I hope they ask him what they had for lunch, the intrigue is killing me here.

 

[roydo]

Guess not.

I am worried that he won't spend what money we give him right. We need to replace Fellaini probably, and our squad is tiny as it is. ****tin meself here.

Think his signings have been decent on the budget he was on. I feel all these are decent value for money:
Kone
Ramis
Maloney
Al Habsi
Di Santo
McArthur
Alcaraz
Moses
Diame
McCarthy
Gomez

No they are not except Moses.

Rather it was Vitor but prefer Martinez to virtually every other candidate mentioned particularly our untried backroom staff.

Whelan on TalkSport:
- He half expected Martinez to leave
- When asked if Everton have asked to speak, he confirmed Bill rang on Friday to ask for permission to speak to Martinez. Permission was given immediately.
- "One thing Everton have got is a chairman who is one honest guy, and I'd trust him if I were Roberto."
- Doesn't think Martinez will head back to Spain.

Pereira odds after been slashed martinez gone to 4/11

 

[Groucho]

From Sky "@SkySportsNews: Sky Sports News understand that Everton are expected to seek talks with Martinez after making an approach to Wigan on Friday #ssn"

He told LFC to do one, and may come here. That'd make a derby win sweet.

Whelan just said on TalkSport that Kenwright rang him on Friday to ask if he could speak to Martinez.

Dave Whelan - Roberto Martinez has resigned. Bill Kenwright asked for permission to talk to him last week which was granted.
