He ain't gonna listen to BU!
Just like your cherry
Exactly. All we need is to get the BU to state they want Martinez as boss, and bobs you teapot, Bill will appoint someone else.He ain't gonna listen to BU!
Brill.
Categories as far as I can see it:
1. Untried in the Prem, but with European experience: Pereira/Lennon
2. Experienced in the Prem/won something: Martinez/Benitez
3. Untried in the Prem/managerial experience with potential: Mackay/Poyet
4. Rookie manager/Evertonian: Ferguson/Stubbs/Round
What do we need:
Personally I think Prem experience is very important. Not a deal breaker that would rule out category 1 names, but this is one of 2 or 3 best, toughest leagues in the world, with the most money in it. Is the Scottish league a good enough league where domestic success is of value? Ditto, the Portugese league?
A track record of winning something is what we need, if we're to 'kick on', or at the very least, maintain current standards.
A manager with potential is what we appointed when we got Moyes, but the club is in a different place now than it was then. Which I feel rules out category 3 names, and definitely category 4 names. Was Moyes 'an Evertonian' when he came? No, it should not be a factor at all in the appointment process.
For me, I keep coming back to Martinez (even with his relegation, which I can understand people's concerns but would once again cite Joe Royle as a glowing example of someone who worked wonders at a small club, still finished low down in his three years in the top flight before relegation, but showed he had an aptitude to work at a higher level), and Pereira, who I think has a good rep, good piece on him in the Echo today, and the hope that what he doesn't have in Prem experience, he makes up for in new ideas that could take us forward.
Pereira would be more of a gamble than Martinez, but potentially offers more upside.
By the way - this is all complete BS:

Neville is not interested in being a pundit, he wants to be a coach at Utd or Everton (from his own mouth tonight at the fans do, see other thread), and the fact they're making such a big deal of him going should tell you he ain't staying at EFC to be a coach. I suspect it's a done deal for him to go with Moyes to United, but they're obviously not going to announce it yet for obvious (contractual) reasons.
It is & one day you'll probably find out x
To be honest lid when you start throwing out the 'you've never had sex' insult on an online forum to people you've never met then you've reached a new low.
Thought you were better than that.
Benfica are the biggest Club in Portugal.
The Portugese League has a number of good teams, Sporting Lisbon, Braga, Benfica.
BILL'S A RACIST
All capable of spanking Everton (a couple have)
