In my eye's there's only one man for this job and its Pellegrini.

I wouldn't say no to Pellegrini, I really wouldn't. My biggest concern with him is that his recent posts have involved managing top teams, where he has ultimately failed with the resources given to him.

I just want a solid man-manager who can set-up the team to play some intelligent and effective football. That's not a big ask, given the squad we have.

Not that arsed either way.

Both have merits. Proven v Potential basically.

Think FDB would be the more imaginative one, and never been that bowled over by MP. But MP would not be a disaster. FDB might be.

Where has that splinter come from ffs.

Why? There were plenty of fans that had it out for Martinez before he was even appointed because they wanted Vitor Pereira instead (who's managed 3 teams in nothing leagues and won nothing either in Martinez's time) and now they've got their way and Martinez is gone they want it all swept under the rug. All they want to do is talk Martinez's flaws without acknowledging his good points. Did he have flaws, bloody right, but let's not rewrite history eh. What exactly would Vitor have done for us do you think? What was his philosophy? At least Martinez had a long term vision, any manager we pick from what's on offer now is same old same old apart from FDB and he wants to join us because of the foundations laid by Martinez, his philosophy which is now seen as OUR philosophy. I'm not saying bring back Martinez but at least open your eyes to his bad AND good points.

Wind it in.

Martinez wretched philosophy included not being arsed about clean sheets and valuing the supposed performance over the result.

If you genuinely think that De Boer is interested in Everton due to the complete failure of Martinez then you need to go give your head a wobble

I would open them, but they're still bleeding after watching the painful bilge Martinez served up for waaaay too long.

Either way, this is not about our ex manager. Its about our new one.

But come on mate, youre literally just looking at Emery's performance in half the games this season. And he still managed to win the Europa league for the third successive season! Look at his career as a whole mate; hes consistently done very, very well in the league, won trophies and all with a net spend of more than -£100m. Are you really going to ignore that because he finished 8th this season, had a poor away record and yet still won a trophy!

To be honest the -£100m net spend means f*** all to me. I'm sick of not spending money considering how much clubs are making and receiving. I want a manager who is gonna spend not save.

But obviously you have to factor in the players at his disposal when judging his ability.

You can't expect a team with that net spend to win La Liga...right? It's a variable that has to be accounted for when attempting to judge who is the best manager for the job.

I doubt our next manager will spend anyway. That will be left largely to the other appointment.
