I appreciate all that but unfortunately there isn't one candidate who isn't a risk. Pereira has become flavour of the month on here but 99% of people if truthful know nothing about him. Martinez is going to come into a club in a football mad city that has much higher expectations then Wigan, a club that until 20 years ago were renowned for playing football on the carpet like he likes to play. He likes a youthful team and we have the best academy in the business in all age groups up until Moyes reluctance to bring them through to the first team. He is an honest and respectful man, something this club and the supporters require. We will not accept ********s leading us the way that shower love it. It just feels like this may fit.
If he has 2 seasons with a 25% win ratio by all means he should be let go but he deserves a chance as this club can change careers. Even now, not many players or managers pass through Everton without it gripping them. You don't here of many former everton players associated with other clubs. If he gets things right staff wise defensively then this could be a great appointment.
I am very optimistic, what's the worst that can happen? We start again
Good post.
In the past I was happy with Mike Walker due to what he had done with Norwich, ecstatic we had hired a league winner in Walter Smith and looked how they both turned out. I'm not very good at picking managers as I don't get to talk with them.
When we appointed Moyes, with Everton at a very low ebb in our history, I decided to just give him time. It's been a good decade for this club considering what went on the 15 years before Moyes. Whoever comes in is going to have their own way of doing things. Things will go wrong but hopefully a lot will go right. I don't buy into the Martinez took Wigan down argument. So did Klopp and Wegner with their previous teams. I just know that I'm looking forward to supporting whoever leads us next.
