How can you just slip in ‘he did bring in Lukaku !?’

The old guard rebelled against him and stopped playing for him.
They have form for this.

Id love to bin the lot of them off and bring in Nuno and his staff and see what a clean sweep does.

Think you are misunderstanding me mate.
The players who rebelled under Martinez are largely not the ones "underachieving " now.
I actually want a clean sweep , but Martinez to be absolutely no part of it.

Posters who think Everton are too good for managers who get 5th and 7th in the PL need a massive reality check.

We are mid-table nonentities who spent half a billion to get there.

Wake up and smell the coffee.

something's gone wrong.

And he had peanuts to work with for transfers outside Lukaku, and that was right around the time transfer fees started to get silly.

I'm not saying he was without fault. But I always said he would do a great job managing a national team, being able to bring in the players he wants. He has proven himself in Belgium, and I think he could do it at a club level given the funds to bring in the right players. Give Martinez the kind of money we've seen spent over the last several years and I think we're looking at a very different Everton.

He inherited one of the best national squads in the world , if not , the best.
It was Moyes who had absolutely no money here , and he got top 4 !

Did you not support us when he was manager here ?. That's the reason why we aren't going after him. Absolute failure here , once the players he inherited from Moyes started fading. To be fair he did bring in Lukaku , but couldn't motivate , couldn't set up a defence , and lost the dressing room. Some folks have short memories.

He brought in:

Lukaku
Barry
McCarthy
Stones
Barkley
Deulofeu

That's roughly half a team there that pushed us on in his first season.

Yeah it went badly wrong but the stuff about it being Moyes team is not true at all. The first season was all on him as much as the following two seasons were.

To be fair Martinez was a pretty young manager when he was here. He was/is at an age where he is learning all the time, managers can improve just like players.

I wouldn't have him back though purely because he wouldn't get a proper chance.

My point is mate that managing a top international side is easy to rack up a good win percentage considering they mainly play awful sides.

This is true but it's their highest win percentage by some margin.

Doesn't mean much if you don't win anything though.
